VICTORY Review

STARRING : Nitin, Mamatha Mohandas, Sindhu Tulani, Sashank and others

MUSIC : Chakry
DIRECTOR : Ravi C Kumar

RELEASE DATE : 27 June 2008

Average

Nitin comes up with another action oriented film after Aatadistha. Director Ravi c Kumar has come up with a story based on the land mafia. While the film entertains to an extent, the message in the end is too long and tests the patience of the audience. The ending is quite predictable.


Vijji (Nitin) is a educated young boy from a middle class family. He loves his parents and his younger sister immensely. His father, Tanikella Bharani has a plot in a housing society. His dream is to construct a small house and raise a garden on the plot and live happily with his children and grandchildren.

Bharani finds a sutable match for his son Vijji on the net. The girl is Jaanu (Mamatha Mohandas). She also likes the boy and she starts loving him. Vijji’s has some friends, Sashanak, Duvvasi Mohan and others. Sindhu Tulani, a reporter with TV5 also becomes a friend of Vijji.


Devraj (Ashutosh Rana) is a greedy MLA who goes to any length to grab lands that he sets his eyes on. He grabs the land that belongs to a society in which Vijji’s father owns a plot. Devraj creates fake documents for the purpose. When the real owner of the land Kondal Rao (grandfather of Mamatha Mohandas) agrees to depose in the court, Devraj gets him killed.


The rest of the story is how Vijji exposes Devraj and brings his atrocities to an end.


Perfromance:
Nitin looks good and he has also improved a lot in diction and dialogue delivery. He gets a couple of big fights to flaunt his eight pack abs. He is shown using his brain more than his muscles to bring the culprits to book.


Mamatha Mohandas is her usual ravishing self. She does a neat job in her role as a lover and also the granddaughter of Kondal Rao.

Sindhu Tulani looks gorgeous. She is quite convincing as a TV reporter and manages to steal the show in some scenes.


Sashank is okay but he still has a long way to go to establish himself as an actor. Ashutosh Rana does a neat job as a greedy MLA and a notorious land grabber.

The rest of the star cast like Tanikella Bharanai, Sana, Ranganath, Nutan Prasad, Kondal Rao etc. are adequate in their roles. Duvvasi Mohan, Brahmanandam, Ali, MS Narayana do their bit to raise some laughs. Krishan Bhagavan plays a subdued role of a MRO.


Abhinyasri once again plays the role of a unsatisfied wife of an old husband (Brahmanandam). She finally elopes with Ali. The fights and songs are okay. Some of the dialogues have double meanings but are not too vulgar. The film is quite entertaining in the first half but turns into a long drawn out sentimental drama in the second half.

Victroy is another average film from Nitin.

100.1.200.99 and port 8080.( My advice is to use Opera since you
can browse both wap and regular websites)

6) Connect to the dial-up account. You will be connected at 115.2
kbps (but remember, that is a bad joke).

7) Pick up your mobile and try to access any site. You will get “Access

Keep the mobile down.

2. Now open web using the duplicate Profile and u will see that two gprs connections will work simultaneously and at the web or the services page it will show "Unable to connect" or any error. well thats the signal of ur success.

3. Simply go on the Opera with web on and open any site u want for free. No Charges No nothing.

U can also use it through ur computer..........

someone said dis too

The main principle behind this is we hav 2 fool the bsnl techies 2 activate portal and thus get gprs activated / get "G" signal on ur cell as bsnl portal (wap.cellone.in) needs "gprs signal on ur cel (whether gprs is formaly activated/registerd or not (by my method )i dont know)

NORMALLY THEY DONT DO THAT INSPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY SHOULD ACTIVATE GPRS SIGNAL SERVICE FOR PORTAL!!!
AND THEY WILL GIVE U NO OF REASONS----
---THAT portal is message based , so go to cellone icon in menu and use that sms based portal (what the f**k)
---THAT portal service will be activated when u will activate gprs by filling up form and registering at nearest CCN!!
---THAT ur handset has some problems (if u say that "G" signal is not present)
----etc,etc!!

U HAVE 2 ACTIVATE PORTAL FIRST WHICH IS FREE AND U CAN EAT UP CC'S FOR THIS REASON!!
SO WHAT U HAV 2 DO IS--
1) SEND PORTAL to 3733 AND CONFIRMATION SHD COME WITH 5 MIN AT-MAXIMM !!
2) SEND FOR ATLEAST 20-30 TIMES (CAN B ANY MORE THAN THAT)
JUST S**K UP THE NETWORK(3733) WITH THESE MESSAGES !!!
THAT'S FREE NO!! BOTH ON POST AND PRE!!
3) NOW ALONG ALSO SEND 20-40 SMS AS GPRS TO 3733
(NO OF SMS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL 2 HATE FOR BSNL AND HOW EARLY U WNAN GET UR GPRS ACTIVATED) this is also free both on post and pre!!
4) U WILL GET CONFIRMATION IN BOTH CASES AND MSG TELLS U 2 GET SETTINGS FROM 9400024365, THE NO OF CC!!
HERE AT MY PLACE I CAN DIAL 9419024365 ALSO!
BOTH R TOLL FREE AND BOTH R LOCATED IN CHANDIGARH!!!
(((((((AND SOME OF THE CC'S SAY they cant give such sensitive information that where they r located, as if thay have a 3 rd world of their own! and the other dumbs said that they r in chandigarh!!!!)))))

I WOULD ADVISE ALL FIRST, 2 call them once 2 get the settings!!
(most of the times that is incorect but gives u an idea of settings in ur area))
Try and in ur 1 st call only,
talk roughly and tell them u r calling 10-20th time just for settings and is that their service!!!
5) Now when u get them save them AND plz post them here!!!
6) now GET ATLEAST 2-3 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED( each after 1 day) THAT UR PORTAL HAS NOT ACTIVATED AND GET THEIR SERIAL NO.
and in the end bombard them abt the status of all those complaints !!
b4 registering ur complaint they will hesitate much and always say taht they will b sendin new settings which r accurate! but dont belive them and just register complaints!!
6)AFTER THAT, u have 2 only wait until "G" signal is there on ur screen!!

LOOK, WHAT I HAVE WRIITEN ABV IS METHOD by which i got activated my "G" service !!! without fillin any form or such and without any money drain!!
may be since it bypasses the formal way of registeration, that is why this trick is working !!!!!!!!!!!!


U may also Try this

first open ur msg window and type LIVE and send it to 2567 so that after 5 min u get the setting of Airtel Live or if u have already no need for this procedure.
now then open that setting and copy all the settings from it and create one access point manually which has all the settings like Airtel Live has.
now only one change will be there and it would be in access point name which is "Airtelmms.com" instead of originally "Airtelgprs.com".
ok u've done it just active that setting and access free airtel gprs on ur phone.






a recent comment says dat

Guys i tried and its working, I'm using airtel chennai,..the Method TWO worked, also i request everyone to change the Phone number from *99***2 to *99***1 and its working,.. it'll get connected at 462.8kbps but its the speed between the phone and your computer but actual BAndwidth is 42kbps

HAIR STYLES

Choosing a hairstyle depends on various factors. An important factor is the shape of your face. Your life style is also a major element. If you wash, condition and style your hair every morning, a short cut may be best for you. If you have plenty of time for hair care you may prefer to wear your hair long. The distribution, quantity and texture of your hair, the curliness or straightness and your height are the other important factors for choosing a hair style.

Different hairstyles to suit the shape of your face

Round face


A round face will look best with hairstyles that add angles and helps conceal broad, round cheeks. For persons who have short hair, it is better to have a cut with most of the hair on top and less on sides. For long hair, an hairstyle with curls or waves surrounding the face will be better.

Square face


A square jaw and brow are best softened by a curly or wavy hair style that rounds off the angles of your face. Curls or waves worn forward on the outer edges of your face from your forehead will be more suited for a square face.


An oval face


An oval face can be enhanced by a variety of simple hairstyles. Your hairstyle will be most pleasing, if you wear it straight or slightly wavy. Short or long styles will look best when brushed or held back from your face.

Triangular face


The best hairstyle for this shape face are those worn away from your face at your forehead and temples and softly waved or curled around the jaws or those worn full at your temples, with straight or waved bangs across the width of your forehead.

Care & Exercises for the Eye

Care & Exercises for the Eye

Vitamins A, B and C is very essential for the good care of the eyes. Carrot, celery, parsley, spinach etc contain a large amount of vitamin A. 8 to 10 hours of sleep is a must for bright eyes.

For eye care : Splash the eyes with cold water. Apply cotton wool pads, soaked in warm milk, witch hazel, weak tea solution or rose water on the eyes. Press gently and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.

To avoid eye strain :

Do not work in dim light
Do not read continuously in buses and trains.
Do not stare too tong at anything without blinking the eyes. Blinking provides lubrications and relief from light.
Do not rub the eyes too hard.
To give momentary relief to the eyes, close the eyes with the palms so that no light can enter. Now open the eyes in the palm cup and stare into this darkness for a minute.
Exercises for eyes :

Lift the eyes to the ceiling and then to the floor. Repeat it for 10 times. Rest the eyes either by blinking rapidly or covering them with palms.
Look straight ahead at eye level, then slowly to left side at eye level and then to right side at eye level. Repeat it for 3 or 4 times.
Make a circle, first clockwise and then anti-clockwise, with the eyes. Repeat for 5 times.
Care for Eyebrows and Eyelashes :

Eyebrows and Eyelashes should be brushed daily with a small brush.
Rub eyebrows and eyelashes with olive oil or coconut oil or almond oil to encourage hair growth.
For cleansing and nourishment of eyebrows, rub them with a little egg white and rinse it off after 10 minutes.
For eye makeup choose the correct colours and shades to complement your personality. The choice of the eyeliner and mascara should be compatible with the natural eyelash colour. A right touch and right colour is needed for beautiful, attractive eyes.

How to apply the lipstick properly

To begin with, make sure that your lips are dry. Rid yourself of any traces of old lipstick. Apply a bit of face powder all around the outline of your lips to prevent the lipstick application from "bleeding" over the edges of the mouth. However, do not apply powder liberally all over lips.

The best way to apply the lipstick is to use a lip- brush. As you work, prop your elbows on a firm surface to give you steady hand, and keep your lips slightly apart.

Load the brush with plenty of lipstick. Start with upper lip, moving from the centre to the edges of the mouth or the reverse way. Repeat the process in the lower lip, then fill the rest. Make sure that lipstick is evenly applied. If you have drooping corners, do not outline them up to the corner.


After you have finished applying lipstick, keep your lips slightly apart for a couple of minutes. This gives it time to set. Blot your lips with tissue and apply a second coat. This will help it to last long last. If you are fond of shiny lips, apply lip gloss.

For Graying

Take a little Mehandi , an egg, juice of half a lemon, one table spoon of instant coffee powder. Mix it together and apply on the hair. Wash it after 45 minutes.
Boil one cup of dried gooseberry with 4 cups of water. Add a pinch of sugar in it. Keep boiling till the quantity of the liquid reduces to one cup. Mix 2 cups of Mehendi, an egg, juice of a lemon and the gooseberry solution and apply on hair. Wash the hair after two hours.

For Healthy and Shiny hair

It is better to apply castor oil for a healthy growth of hair.
