Nutrition For Your Child
| If you're a vegetarian,
or just don't like the taste of meat, it's important to know to add
certain nutritional values to your diet, or you may end up being
malnourished in some way. So, to keep your body and mind healthy, check
that your daily intake covers them all! |

Calcium
Calcium, as you probably
know, helps build bones and teeth (which are also bones) as well as
helping the neurons in your body to transfer messages to the muscles.
Fish are an excellent source of calcium, but if you're vegetarians, you
can get this essential mineral from dairy products, enriched soy
products, nuts, legumes and green vegetables, broccoli, okra and cabbage.
Iodine
Iodine is essential for your
metabolism, as in converting material into energy, as well as the
normal functioning of the thyroid gland. It is usually found in sea
fruit and so many vegetarians suffer a lack. Vegetarian sources include
cooking salt, table salt and enriched dairy products.

Priyathama Neevachata kusalama Movie Review
Young hero Varun Sandesh, who is churning film after film is back
with his latest offering in Priyathama Neevachata Kusalama. Directed by
the talented Trinadh Rao Nakkina, this movie has Haasika and Komal Jha
in lead roles. Sai Karthik composes music for this triangular love story
which has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.
Story :
The movie starts off in Rajamundhry, where Varun(Varun Sandesh) a happy go lucky guy loves Preethi(Haaskika) and tries to woo her always. Tired of his proposals, Preethi finally says yes to Varun and accepts his proposal. As time moves on the couple spend some happy times and one fine day Preethi’s dad, Rao(Rao Ramesh) comes to know about his daughters love. An angry Rao decides to get Preethi married to a different guy.
An upset Varun decides to elope with Preethi and plans everything accordingly. Now, when the actual time of eloping arrives, Preethi gives Varun an absolute shocker and leaves him for good. A shocked Varun gets very depressed and loses hope in life.
When Varun is going through his bad phase, Kundana(Komal Jha) enters his life and helps him out of his problems. She falls in love with Varun and proposes to him. At first Varun rejects her love, but later accepts her proposal. As time passes by Kundana and Varun start getting huge problems and finally break up with each other. What is the shock that Preethi gave to Varun? What are the difference that caused Kundana and Varun to break up? Will they get united once again ? That forms the rest of the story.
Plus Points :
The major plus point of the film is its second half. The entire story takes a u turn in the second half and has been showcased extremely well. Varun Sandesh looks sophisticated in the first half and enthralls the audience with his mass appeal in the second. Over all Varun has vastly improved his acting and dancing capabilities.
Hasika impresses in the role of a silent girl. She steals the show, and her character in the second half is of great importance. Three songs in Preethi Preethi, Yevo Yevo and Nuvvala Nenilaa are very good and have been shot well. Pragati, Subhleka Sudhakar do justice to the roles and the complete dialogues in second half particularly the climax are especially worth a mention.
Minus Points :
First half of the entire movie is a big let down. Scenes have been dragged out and situations have been forced. Komal Jha’s acting is a big let down in this film. Though she had the main role, she could not do justice to it. Even the dubbing and costumes selected for her did not go with the film.
Action scenes are a total unnecessary for this film. Not only they object the continuity of the film, they also look cheesy and dragged out.
Romantic tracks between the lead pair fail to register in our hearts. Though the director had two love stories he could have dealt them with more ease and patience. Some commercial elements in the first half go missing in this film. There was a vast scope of comedy in this film but even that was not utilized.
Technical Aspects :
Camera work is very good in this film, as all the songs have been shot exceptionally well. Sai Krthik’s music is a major plus to the film. As said above, Preethi Preethi, Yevo yevo songs are very good. Background score in a few scenes in the second half is exceptionally good.
Director Trinadh Rao has dealt with the second half nicely, but lost foucs on the first half. His screenplay, direction and script handling is not up to the mark here. But once he gets on to the seconf half he scores highly. His taking is good as he builds up a good suspense and tightens the entire screenplay by the end of the film.
Verdict :
On the whole Priyathama neevachata kusalama is a youthful entertainer made for its target audience. A splendid second half and edgy climax are sure shot plus points. On the flip side, lack of basic comedy and a routine and boring first half go against the film. Finally, watch this film if you have nothing else to do this weekend.

Swamy Ra Ra Movie Update Review
Nikhil, who rose to fame with Shekhar Kammula’s
Happy days, did not see too much success after that film. This time
around he and Swati have teamed up with director Sudheer Varma for the
suspense crime thriller Swamy Ra Ra. The trailers and music created a
good buzz for the movie. Let us see how it fares.
Story:
The movie starts off with a precious Ganesh idol being stolen from the famous Padmanabhaswamy temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
The value of the idol is priceless and it starts moving on from one
hand to the other. Slowly, big gangsters get involved and try to con
each other for the idol. On the other hand, Surya(Nikhil) is a
pickpocket artist who along with his group of three, does small time robberies to for his survival.
One day Surya happens to meet Swati(Swati) a journalist and becomes good friends with her. The precious Ganesh idol, after moving through numerous hands, accidentally lands in Swati’s hand bag. Hell breaks out as the evil gangster(Ravi
Babu) comes to know about this and comes after Swati and Surya. Rest of
the story is about how Surya and Swati manage to face the gangsters and
come out of the tricky situations successfully.
Plus Points:
The movie has good and stylish visuals. Nikhil
impresses with his new look and completely surrenders to the director.
He carries the role of a sophisticated thief well. His body language,
dialogue delivery and screen presence have vastly improved with this
film. Swati gives an honest performance as always and she is at her bubbliest best.
Ravi Babu is apt for the role of a gangster and does his role effortlessly. The first half of the movie is swiftly narrated and the story builds up nicely. The opening shots of the movie featuring Jogi brothers are nice.
Swamy Ra Ra has a realistic feel to it and never side tracks from what it wants to achieve. Pooja and Jeeva are apt for their roles.
Minus Points:
The flow of the movie gets painfully slow some times, especially in the second half. The movie should have been trimmed a little to speed up things.
Some scenes and chases have been needlessly dragged out and they affect the pace of the movie. The climax is not up to the mark and it could have been handled better.
Cinematic liberties have been taken in the second half as the makers have tried to make the film funny and that is where the film loses it charm.
The movie’s appeal may strictly be limited to A centers and multiplexes. The ‘commercial elements’ which B and C center crowds expect in Telugu movie are missing.
Technical Aspects:
Swamy Rara is technically a very strong film. The
film has a fresh look. Cinematography by Richard Prasad is excellent and
the slow motion shots look very stylish. Background score is the
highlight of the movie. It is fresh, peppy and lends good support to the film. Music is cool and the film has some peppy tracks. The title track is particularly good and has been shot excellently. Music Director Sunny seems promising.
Sudheer Varma does a decent job as a director. He
has stuck to his plot and largely succeeds in getting the narration
right. With some care in the second half, the film would have been so
much better.
Verdict:
On the whole, Swamy Ra Ra is a decent crime thriller
which has its highs and lows. Innovative sequences, great visuals and
some edgy moments are plus points. On the flip side, a very slow pace
and a less than perfect climax go against the film. Swamy Ra Ra is worth
a watch.
Movie Rating......3.25/5
