Prabha (Prabhas) alias prabhas is the son of lawyer Hanumanta Rao (Prabhu). His junior Nisha(Shraddha Das) expresses her love for Prabhas. He refuses to accept it. Failed in her love, she tries to commit suicide. Her father (Mukesh Rishi), a big don, brings him to his place through his professional goons. He warns to kill him if he doesn't love his daughter.

To escape this torture, Prabhas lies to him that he is already in love with his childhood pal Nandini (Kajal Agarwal), who stays in London. Believing his fake story, the don releases him. Fact is that, Prabhas has a childhood friend Nandini staying in Switzerland. Her father Viswanath (Ahuti Prasad) and Prabhas' father are very good friends. Viswanath, Hanumantha Rao and many of their old pals meet together and Nandini too is present there. Prabhas starts to meet her. What events take place between Nandini and Prabhas, do they really love each other or not forms the rest of the story.
This film reveals the affection that exists in a childhood friendship. The bond between a father and a son is shown in a very affectionate way. Sensible humor without any vulgarity is a rarity these days. This film has great and clean comedy to entertain the audience. Karunakaran is famous for his sensible touch of sentiments. Credit goes to the director for the beautiful narration of the story.

 Scenes in Switzerland have great scenic beauty. The fake story of the hero to escape from the villain is a novel and humorous idea. And there enters the girl in the second part of the film, very similar to his description to the villain. This increases the audience interest towards the film. At last we have a summer breezer film for the story starved telugu audience. The director must be congratulated for the well narrated film and providing a hit for Prabhas as well.
Action:-
Prabhas:- Gave a great performance in the lead role. Improved expressions and dance moments add to his performance.
Kajal Agarwal:- Nice character as Nandini, it involved her sensible and glamorous performance. She gave great performance. 
Prabhu:- Tamil actor, director Prabhu performed as the father of Prabhas. The bond of father and son is well performed by the two actors. Prabhu's performance proves to be an added attaraction.
Other character actors like Chandramohan, Ahuti Prasad, Mukhesh Rushi, Tulasi, Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam and  others did justice to their characters.
Technical Department:-
Music:- by G.V. Prakash is an added high light. All songs are well tuned. Back ground music too is well composed.
Direction:- Karunakaran's films are known for their love, sentiment oriented stories. He succeeded in making a well performed love story with action oriented hero Prabhas.

Sehwag out of World Twenty20

Virender Sehwag prepares his bat for another onslaught, Nagpur, December 17, 2009

Indian opener Virender Sehwag has suffered a shoulder injury which will rule him out of the ICC World Twenty20 beginning in the West Indies on April 30. Sehwag has been advised rest for three to four weeks and has been replaced by Tamil Nadu batsman M Vijay in the 15-man squad, the BCCI said in a statement.

The BCCI statement, however, did not mention how or when Sehwag sustained the injury. Sehwag played all 14 IPL league matches for Delhi Daredevils, scoring 356 runs at an average of 25, his last appearance being on April 18. He was deemed fit when included in the World Twenty20 squad so it's likely the injury occurred during Delhi's IPL campaign.

The blow is similar to the one India suffered before the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. Sehwag had sustained a shoulder injury during the 2009 IPL in South Africa, shortly before the World Twenty20 was due to begin. He travelled with the squad to England but was not able to play a game and India were eliminated without winning a game in the second round.

His replacement, Vijay, has been in aggressive form for Chennai Super Kings, scoring 417 runs, including a century, at an average of 38. He has been India's back-up opener for Tests and ODIs as well.

Salman refuses Abhishek's film

It’s not an admission many leading stars would make, but 45-year-old Salman Khan is no longer reluctant to admit that he can’t be expected to play a young boy any longer. Recently, he turned down Ahmed Khan’s assistant Abhishek Dogra’s film as he felt he was a bit too old for the role.

Abhishek met Salman at his residence at Galaxy Apartments, Bandra to narrate the story of his film. The meeting lasted for an hour-and-half. After Abhishek finished his narration, Salman said he wouldn’t do his film and suggested that he cast a younger actor instead.

A source says, “While that’s what he said, it could have been that Salman actually refused Abhishek’s film because it is a three-hero project and he didn’t want to share too much screen space with two other actors.”
However, Abhishek didn’t leave completely empty handed. “Salman suggested a different ending to the script and the aspiring filmmaker agreed that it made for a far better climax than what he had envisaged. Abhishek is incorporating Salman’s input.”

But while he won’t be working with Salman in this film, Abhishek is keeping his fingers crossed for the future. “I’m earnestly looking forward to work with Salman one day. But I must say I don’t know how to thank him enough for his extremely valuable input to my script.”

Google Chrome users beware of unsolicited emails

BitDefender's warning to people who use Google Chrome and its functionalities to browse the net and to organize information. Cybercriminals are setting their minds on exploiting this environment to spread malware and steal user information.

The story goes like this: Users may receive an unsolicited e-mail which announces that a new extension of a browser has been developed to facilitate access to documents from e-mails. Apparently unsuspicious link is provided, and the recipients are advised to follow it in order to download the new extension. Once they click the link, they are redirected to a look-alike of the Google Chrome Extensions page, which, instead of the promised extension, provides them with a fake application that infects their systems with malware.



Although the sham application has the same description as that of an original Google Chrome Extension, the first sign the more inquisitive users will get about it not being what they were looking for should be the fact that instead of the expected ".crx" extension, it features a flamboyant ".exe" tail.

BitDefender identified it as Trojan.Agent.20577 the application modifies the Windows HOSTS file in an attempt to block access to Google and Yahoo web pages. This allows the malware creators to intercept the victim's calls to reach the respective sites. Through this, the innocent users will be redirected to the cybercriminal's own malware-laden versions of those sites.
