If you’re curious about my name, it comes from a collection of stories by the late great KNY Patanjali. A talking dog, who is very sarcastic, by the name ‘Veera Bobbili’ is the inspiration behind it. I have no connection with the town of Bobbili.

is no longer a linguistic identity or a regional identity. It's just become a tool for convenience. Manaki panikoste Telugu, lekapothe, 'Who are you?'...
An honest question: do u even care..?
Privilege is NTR saying 'andari kashtam okate.' No, andari kashtam okati kaadu. Siddhu had to struggle for a decade before getting his break. He had to make his own luck. I advise legacy actors to refrain from telling outsiders to work hard. They know 'kashtam' better than you.
The greatest trick that the TFI ruling class ever pulled was convincing everyone that they were making movies to feed thousands of working class families.
ప్రేక్షక దేవుళ్ళు. కానీ సినిమా నచ్చకపోతే నోర్మూసుకుని ఉండాలి. సినిమా తీసినవాళ్ళకే సినిమాని విమర్శించే హక్కు ఉంటుంది.
'నువ్వు కూడా సినిమా తీసి చూపించు, లేదంటే నీకు విమర్శించే అర్హత లేదు' అన్న ఎవరి సినిమాలు ఇక మీదట డబ్బులిచ్చి థియేటర్ లో చూడను. అందితే కాళ్లు, అందకపోతే జుట్టు బాపతు
Same story with every outsider. Raviteja, Nani, Naveen, etc. They can work twice as hard as star kids, but they will never get the same opportunities. They will never get the same budgets as Jubilee/Banjara batch. They will never be allowed into the so-called 'tier-1.'
As George Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it.... The table is tilted. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.... 'cause they own this fucking place."
మనకొచ్చే యాభైవేల జీతానికి socialism, communism, wealth distribution అని భయాలొకటి. మీ ఊహల్లో అంబానీకి, అదానీకి ఒక్కడుగు దూరంలో ఉంటారు. కానీ వాస్తవంలో దరిద్రానికి ఒక recession దూరంలో ఉన్నారు. మన దగ్గరేముందనిరా లాక్కోవడానికి?
Takeaway from my recently viral tweet is that a lot of people still don't understand what 'privilege' means. Privilege is not guaranteed success; it's guaranteed advantage. One's failure to make best use of it does not negate its existence.
Indian Railways exemplifies Modi's governance style. Hide the poverty and problems. Not solve them; simply hide them behind a shiny facade. Only when the 'poor' spill over into the AC coaches do you notice that they did not vanish in 2014; they were just kept out of your sight.
Credit where credit is due. I can't imagine any other Telugu star agreeing to wear a saree even with all those slo-mo mass elevations. Bunny gets my respect for not using his fans as an excuse to avoid going that extra mile.
Telugu was called 'Italian of the East' not because of its melodic quality, but because an Italian traveller (Niccolò de' Conti) noticed that Telugu, like Italian, has words that end with vowels. వీటిని అజంత భాషలు (అచ్చుతో అంతమయ్యేవి) అంటారు.
Add Telugu language support
@X
Telugu, spoken in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, is known as the "Italian of the East" for its melodic quality.
While Twitter supports several Indian languages, excluding Telugu creates a barrier. We request you to add Telugu language support to promote inclusivity and diversity.
ఒకడు బాగా చేశాడు అంటే సరిపోదు. ప్రతిదానికీ అతిశయోక్తులే. 'ఇంక ఈ భూ పెపంచకం మీద ఎవ్వడూ ఇలా చెయ్యలేడు' అంటే గానీ పొగిడినట్టు కాదు. Film discourse చప్పబడిపోవడానికి సగం కారణం ఈ అతిశయోక్తులే. ప్రతీదీ అద్భుతం, లేదా దరిద్రం. మధ్యలో ఏం ఉండవా?
No actor across India can portray Ranga anna’s character So lively & Energetic like Fafa Has done 🙏🏻

So by your "math," among Hindus, Brahmins should be at the bottom of the hierarchy because they make up less than 5 per cent of the population. And they shouldn't whine about it because lack of equality doesn't mean they are hapless victims. Did I get that right?
PK lacks the political acumen of either CBN or Jagan. If he were smart, he'd have fought TDP, a party with an ageing leader and no promising successor. He could've poached leaders from TDP, replaced that party as the main opposition. Instead, he's become the sidekick of CBN.
Unsolicited boomer advice: Stop using swear words in every other sentence. There's nothing inherently wrong with using swear words. But it soon becomes a crutch when you struggle to articulate your thoughts in heightened emotional states. That's been my experience.
తెలుగుని కాపాడాలనుకునే influencers/youtubers కి నా సలహా.. తెలుగు రచన యండమూరి, యద్దనపూడితో ఆగిపోలేదు. ఇప్పటికీ జనరంజక సాహిత్యం వ్రాస్తున్న రచయితలు ఉన్నారు. కానీ పాఠకులు కరువయ్యారు. మీరు చదివి, మీకు నచ్చిన రచయితలను ప్రచారంలోకి తీసుకురండి. నా వంతు నేనూ చేస్తా.
She would have been lynched on the spot. Only people who do not understand the fanaticism of the rabid fanbases of TFI stars would blame Anjali for her response.
Yeah, so 'Monkey Man' will NOT be coming to India for the next, let's say, 20 years. If you want to watch it, and you'll want to, find other ways. Dev was not subtle!
The new tactic of filmmakers is talking more about the struggles of making their movie more than the content of the movie. This generates a sympathetic fanbase who fiercely defend the movie from any criticism. ‘cause you can’t criticise those who suffer for their art. 🥺
Don't expect CBN and Nitish to pull any funny moves. They find themselves in a position of dictating terms after 20 years. BJP is a safer bet to ally with, and the fewer the allies, the bigger the influence. The only hope is that they will restore checks and balances in Delhi.
@pillaparindey
Characters. Our films spend all their energy on plot. Their films give equal, if not more, importance to fleshing out characters. As a result, people feel real. They have depth and texture. Plot can keep you hooked on first viewing, but it's characters that linger in your mind.
@GoneWorse
I don’t remember the names of my own classmates and teachers from school. Not something I’m proud of, but there’s nothing I can do about it. Some people have terrible memories, that’s all.
"When they waive 16 lakh crore of billionaires loans, no one asks where the money will come from. Such questions arise only when we say, we will waive farmer loans or give money to women."
I'm all for accommodating dissenting voices in public discourse, but this is treading dangerously close to ceding ground to bad faith actors in the name of civility. Defending free speech is not the same as accepting the ignorant and malicious as simply 'different perspectives.'
You and I… we may be different. Politically, you might be the other end of the spectrum. I might find your values and belief system problematic… dangerous even. But I understand that you might feel the same way about mine. And I refuse to assume with certainty that I am
Women literally kept the world running during both world wars. They worked in factories while taking care of families as men were away fighting. Nations would have collapsed if women hadn't picked up the slack. Pick up a history book once in a while.
Days like this are a good opportunity to weed out the trash. Yes, some of them are people you follow. Mute them, block them, put them on a creepy list.. do whatever you need to deprive them of your attention. Draw a line; engage only with people who are respectful.
Modi should frame PK's picture and hang it in his office. He dragged BJP into an alliance they didn't want. Now that alliance is giving them 21 seats from AP.
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”

Some people become icons of culture simply by being at the vanguard of progress. They represent more than just their own work. They symbolise the zeitgeist of an era. Shanti Swaroop read news; nothing more, nothing less. And yet, he remains a significant marker of a bygone era.
@pillaparindey
BJP's voting percentage increased in Kerala, and they won their first seat. The only reason BJP won seats in AP is because they are part of the alliance. If they had contested alone, they wouldn't have won anything.

I may look like a fool on June 4, but I'm gonna make a prediction. I expect the BJP to remain the largest party in Lok Sabha, however, these projections are wildly exaggerated. I reckon they will be off by 70 -100 seats. And AP will not be as one-sided as they projected.
Look at how propaganda works. Dhruv Rathee had nothing to do with it; it's a totally unrelated fight with another guy. But the ecosystem spins it like Dhruv ordered a hit on this guy. However, the wording is so careful to always maintain plausible deniability.
Few days ago Social Media influencer Bhupendra Jogi who has close to 200K followers made a reel on Dhruv Rathee.
Today he was attacked by 2
men in Madhya Pradesh. They stabbed him multiple times. Bhupendra got 40 stiches.

If not humiliating women every waking hour of your life is called simping, then so be it. You should try it, too. I have been reliably informed that women like it when they are treated like human beings.
The greatest gaslighting exercise in this country's history is the narrative that India was a despondent, destitute, backwards country before 2014. We don't suffer from collective amnesia like you. We were there. We were hopeful of the future. We were aspiring for bigger things.
To the people who are defending Modi's comments by saying he only repeated Manmohan Singh's comments, could you kindly point to where Manmohan Singh referred to Muslims as 'those who breed more' and 'ghuspaithiye (infiltrators)'?
చిన్న డౌటనుమానం.. సినిమా చూడకుండానే దాన్ని ఎందుకు విమర్శిస్తున్నారు అని అడుగుతున్నారు. కరెక్టే అది.

If all these streaming platforms don't merge soon, I'm of the mind to cancel everything and sail the high seas. I'm paying through my nose for a dozen websites to average one film a month per site. Go back to when there used be two of you. Except Mubi. You stay!

finds Imtiaz Ali in fine form once again. With the help of a fantastic ARR soundtrack and a competent cast and crew, he made a beautiful film. Thank heavens, there's still a filmmaker left who knows how to incorporate and visualise songs in a movie.

A byproduct of nepotism is erosion of certain legacies. Shobhan Babu, who was on par with Krishna, Krishnam Raju and others in stardom and talent, isn't talked about as much because he doesn't have an heir to constantly remind us of his greatness.
I'm not altruistic by any sense of the word, but the suffering in Gaza has gotten to such a level that I'm willing to sacrifice a limb to non-existent gods if it meant stopping the violence immediately. Shit's getting too depressing to not affect my own mental health.
Whether you're elated or disappointed with the AP results, you have to respect the fact that AP citizens refuse to be taken for granted. TDP will also have to keep that in mind for the next 5 years.
Chiru may not be in the best form right now, but the sheer joy that he brought to us '90s kids back in the day was immeasurable. Congratulations!
To borrow a quote from Seb Vettel and modify it.. "Everyone is a Chiru fan. Even if they say they are not, they are Chiru fans"
Not a sub-tweet or intended to any specific person. My TL is filled with those. I'm prone to use the occasional f word myself. Not taking any high ground. I used to be like that. I found myself in a condition where I could not express my emotions without cursing.
BJP is going into overdrive on communal rhetoric this time around. So keep an eye on the so-called centrists and "apolitical" people around you. Let's see what mental gymnastics they will do this time to justify their complicity in the moral degradation of this nation.
So much misinformation and it gets hundreds of retweets! A persecuted population displaces another native population; creates an apartheid state; the oppressed become the oppressors. Just the fact that he thinks it's 'muslims hate jews' is enough to dismiss the whole thread.

Because the BJP is not doing as well as they'd hoped. So TDP may very well play a key role in forming the govt. If that happens, there won't be any need to bow down before Modi.
