Suriya watched the film along with the audience and enjoyed it thoroughly. Sarrainodu is continuing its strong run in the B and C centres and is inching towards becoming the highest grosser in Allu Arjun's career. Boyapati Srinu is the director for the film.
Sarrainodu, Biggest Hit in My Career: Bunny
Stylish Star Allu Arjun is jubilant with the super success of his latest release 'Sarrainodu'. The star is riding high with three back to back 50 cr. projects. And now, 'Sarrainodu' may stand as the biggest grosser among his films.
Allu Arjun has also felt 'Sarrainodu' as the biggest hit of his career and tweeted the same in his twitter page. "I thank everybody esply my fans for making #Sarrainodu the biggest hit of my career. Thank you all for the heart felt compliments," tweeted Allu Arjun.
'Sarrainodu' collected Rs.45.72 crores at the end of its first week's run. The movie is running with steady collections in its second week too. Thaman has composed the music of this mass entertainer. Rakul Preet Singh and Catherine Tresa have romanced Allu Arjun in the film. The movie was directed by Boyapati Srinu on Geetha Arts.
Sarainodu Racing Towards 100 Crore
Stylish Star Allu Arjun's latest offering, Sarainodu is racing at the box office. The bad reviews and talk on the first day could not dent the movie's juggernaut at the box office. Box Office experts are also taken by surprise with the movie's run at the box office. The movie had already amassed 79 Crore gross.
And with no big releases this weekend, it is still the first choice for audience in the second week after its release. The movie is inching towards 100 Crore gross and is likely to touch the mark by the end of this weekend itself. Needless to say, Bunny and Allu Aravind are very delighted with this success.
The movie is also the biggest hit in Boyapati Srinu's career. The Summer holidays advantage is helping the movie big time at the box office. The movie has to make 55 Crore Share to be a Hit venture and that should be very easy now and it will end up as a profitable venture.
Sarrainodu may Become Bunny's Career Best
If the current trend continues, Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu' may end up as his career best film commercially. The movie has already crossed the 40 Crore share mark and the summer holidays are propelling it to the 50 Crore mark.
If the upcoming releases end up as disappointments, then Sarrainodu may very well end up in the mid 50's or even the 60 Crore mark. This is a remarkable figure for Bunny and it will propel him into the top three in the industry.
Boyapati's mass formula seems to have worked solidly in B and C centers, giving Bunny new fans and audiences.
Anti Fans Wrong Info on Sarrainodu Shares!
Stylish Star Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu' is rocking everywhere with thumping collections. As of now, the movie recorded below par collections in USA only. The movie accumulated good collections in all other areas. However, it is learnt that some of the anti fans are cooking up the stories that the film got less collections in Karnataka.
In fact, 'Sarrainodu' collected Rs.5.96 crores share in Karnataka as per DCRs. As the movie was sold out to 6 crores, the movie turned out to be a profitable venture in the territory. Allu Arjun is one among two to three stars of Tollywood, who has good market in Karnataka. His flop venture 'Badrinadh' collected Rs.4 crores in those days and got hit status in the territory then.
It is heard that a big film of Sankranthi season this year got less collections in Karnataka. But the sources close to the makers gossiped to have hiked the collections of the movie in the territory. As mega fans objected strongly the Karnataka collections of the movie then, some of the anti fans are reportedly spreading wrong info on Karnataka collections of 'Sarrainodu' through some media houses now.
Bunny Breaks the Jinx
Finally, Stylish star Allu Arjun has delivered! The Race Gurram actor, who made a turnaround in an out-and-out mass avatar for his latest outing Sarrainodu, breaks the jinx, this time around. The Boyapati Sreenu directorial has garnered a whopping Rs 72 crore gross in its first week and has been hailed as one of the biggest hits of this year, so far. Sharing his joy about the film's success, a visibly excited Allu Arjun says, "My earlier films Happy and Badrinath, produced by my dad Allu Aravind didn't do well. At last, I gave a hit for him with Sarrainodu. Stars like Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, Naga Chaitanya and Nani had their career's biggest hits under Geetha Arts and now I have joined with all of them with this success." Despite opening to mixed reviews, the film is on the anvil of becoming the biggest hit in Allu Arjun's career.
Sarrainodu Hits Super Jackpot
Allu Arjun's latest movie "Sarrainodu" is panned by critics by the film has made 45.7+ crores 'share' after a week of run at box office. That explains the mass power of Stylish Star Allu Arjun who tried his hand at pacifying mass audiences this time.
Clearly this proves that Allu Arjun's films are independent of what critics are saying, because his last three films including Race Gurram, S/o Satyamurthy and Rudramadevi have received bad reviews in the start but went on to collect more than 50+ crores share. And now, it's a cake walk for Sarrainodu to reach the 50 crores milestone. And with none of the Friday's releases holding good, surely he is gonna mint huge for another week.
This is what they say Super Jackpot, because for fourth time in a row Allu Arjun maintained his steadiness in collections.

Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu' is right now having a dream run at Box-office and the movie is inching towards 50 Crores club. Trade sources confirm that the movie will enter the 50 Crore club by this weekend itself. Trade sources also assured that this movie will be Allu Arjun's biggest grosser in quick time.
The actor is happy with the response and he is looking forward to capitalize on the same success rate. Allu Arjun also became the first Tollywood actor to have hat-trick 50 Crore club movies under his kitty and now he has more responsibility to shoulder.
His next two projects are going to be massive as they will also test his strength in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Director Lingusamy is planning to do another action entertainer and Vikram Kumar also signed his next with Bunny.
Vikram Kuamr already grabbed attention with '24' and with Bunny's image he can do wonders. But Allu Arjun is so patient with his future projects and right now he just cherishes the success of 'Sarrainodu'. Watch out this space for more updates.
Sarrainodu Mints Rs.72 Crore in First Week
Allu Arjun-starrer Telugu actioner "Sarrainodu", which opened to mixed reviews, has grossed a whopping Rs.72 crore in its first week worldwide."It approximately grossed Rs.72 crore in its first week, despite mixed reactions from critics. This is the highest opening for an Allu Arjun film.

Can Sarrainodu Level Srimanthudu?
Prince Mahesh's 'Srimanthudu' stood as the second biggest grosser of Tollywood with Rs.83 crores share. The movie carried super positive reports on the day one of its release and finally raked in close to 69 crores in India and 14+ in Overseas taking the collections tally to Rs.83 crores world wide.
Post the release of 'Srimanthudu', no movie has crossed the shares of 'Srimanthudu'. At this juncture, Stylish Star Allu Arjun's latest offing 'Sarrainodu' has become a huge hit at the box office. The movie is going to be the biggest blockbuster of this year so far with highest share collections.
But then, can we expect 'Sarrainodu' to level or to cross 'Srimanthudu's collections? Unlike 'Srimanthudu', 'Sarrainodu' carried flop talk on the day one of its release and sustained with talk later. Moreover, mass films have certain limitations in US. Eventually, the movie can't level the shares of 'Srimanthudu' due to below par collections in the US. However, as far as collections of the movie in India are concerned, the movie will come close to 'Srimanthudu's collections. 'Srimanthudu' collected 69 crores in India and 'Sarrainodu' is expected to collect Rs.60-65 crores in India in its full run. In Ceded, Nellore, Karnataka, Rest of India etc. the movie is expected to cross the full run shares of 'Srimanthudu'.
Bunny Rewrites New Records in Tollywood
Image, craze and market for Stylish Star Allu Arjun multifolded with back to back hits to his credit. His recent film Sarrainodu irrespective of talk has been generating good amount of collections.
Sarrainodu has already grossed more than 50 crores. This film has crossed 10 crores collection mark in Nizam. This is straight 6th movie for Bunny which crossed the mark after Julayi, Iddarammayilatho, Race Gurram, S/0 Satyamurthy, Rudramadevi, Sarrainodu.
Sarrainodu now stands at 10.60 crores with 6 days. Allu Arjun has created another record with total collections. This is his 4th consecutive film to gross more than 50 crores.
sarrainodu 1st Week Collections are Career Best for Bunny
Sarrainodu 1st week collections are too good,nobody expected that movie will collect this much amount at Box office after receiving a mixed talk from the audience on first day of its release.
The movie collected 42.7 crores in ist 1st week worldwide Box office and remained as Allu Arjun's career best film in 1st week collections.The movie can even become all time highest collected movie for Allu Arjun if it manages to cross 59.2 crores at Box office which is the amount collected by racegurram.
Anyway,the film has chances to do well in coming days also and hence we need to wait and see whther it can cross the race gurram collections or not ? in its coming days.

Bunny Rare Feat with Sarrainodu
Stylish Star Allu Arjun's latest movie Sarrainodu directed by Botapati Sreenu is doing decent business in week days. The film has crossed Rs 10 crore mark in Nizam area. In fact, this is the sixth consecutive film for Allu Arjun to collect 10 crore shares in Nizam. No other Telugu hero has achieved the feat earlier.
Apart from Sarrainodu, Julayi, Iddarammayilatho, Race Gurram , Son Of SatyaMurthy and Rudhrama Devi were the other films of Allu Arjun crossed 10 crore figure in Nizam. Meanwhile, Sarrainodu has entered Rs 30 crores club in just six days. The mass action entertainer has minted around Rs 31 cr shares alone in Telugu states.
Rakul Preet Singh and Catherine Tresa played female leads in Sarrainodu produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts Banner. Lingusamy, Vikram Kumar and Trivikram are in the race to helm Allu Arjun's next film. Let's wait and see who will grab the opportunity!
Sarrainodu 1st Week Nizam Share
When Allu Arjun's Sarrainodu released last week, critics and fans gave a collective thumbs down to the film and many thought that the film will end up as a colossal flop. However, summer holidays and lack of no big releases came to Sarrainodu's rescue and the film is minting decent shares in B, C centres. Yesterday, Sarrainodu touched the 10 crore share mark in Nizam and with this, Bunny has set a rare record of bagging six straight 10 crore share movies in Nizam. Bunny's record feat began with Trivikram's Julayi and he followed it up with films like Iddarammayilatho, Race Gurram, S/O Satyamurthy, Rudhramadevi and Sarrainodu.
However, Sarrainodu still has a long way to go before it becomes a profitable venture for Allu Aravind, who distributed the film on his own in Nizam and several other territories. The film has so far collected 10.57 crores in Nizam and it should collect at least 2.5 crore more for its breakeven. Can Sarrainodu pull it off from here on?
Sarrainodu Completes 1st Week on Strong Note
Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu' has completed first week run successfully. Released on April 22, the film opened to bad talk and negative reviews. True that the movie's content was nothing to rave about, but it has struck the chord with the mass audiences. So, despite not so great word-of-mouth, the film has raked in great moolah for the distributors (most areas were distributed by Geeta Arts, Allu Arjun's home company).
In the first week, the movie has collected Rs 11 Cr share in Nizam area, record amount for an Allu Arjun starrer. In Ceded regions, the movie is collected Rs 6.80 Cr by end of first week and this is one of the all-time highest amounts in this territory for the first week for a Telugu movie.
After 'Racegurram', Allu Arjun has once again proved that he has strong base in mass centres too. Though the film has ended its first week run on a strong note, its overall collections range is yet to be gauged. The film is directed by Boyapati Sreenu.
Bunny Still in Dilemma
Allu Arjun's Sarrainodu is doing tremendous business at the box office especially in the Telugu states. The film is all set to enter Rs. 50 Crores club by this weekend. There is no sign of drop in the collections as yet. At this rate Sarrainodu will become Allu Arjun's biggest ever grosser in no time. Allu Arjun is enjoying the response for his first full fledged mass entertainer.
With a hat trick of fifty crores films in his kitty, Allu Arjun has bigger responsibility on his shoulders as expectations on his next film would be very high. The stylish star is yet to take a call on his next informed sources close to him. Tamil director Linguswamy has prepared a subject keeping Bunny in mind.
Allu Arjun is already committed to do a movie with Manam director Vikram Kumar, but this project will take few months to hit the floors. Bunny wants to do a quickie in between but he cannot afford to lose this momentum for the sake of keeping himself busy. Allu Arjun is yet to decide over doing a movie or sitting idle until Vikram Kumar's script is ready.
Mahesh Babu Prefers to Travel in Bunny's Foot Steps
Mahesh Babu who is looking to make a fortune with 'Brahmotsavam' is quoting higher prices for all the areas. Recently he understood that Allu Arjun made a fortune in Nizam area and he grossed more than 10 Crores in 5 days. Knowing that, Mahesh has decided to do the same.
He has sold the movie for a whopping price in Nizam area and sources said, the amount was similar to Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu'. Abhishek Pictures has bagged the distribution rights in the Nizam area. Nizam area mostly prefers class movies than mass movies.
Technical team features Mickey.J.Meyer for music, Rathnavelu for cinematography and Sreekar Prasad for editing. Apart from the lead actors the supporting cast is filled with actors like Sathyaraj, Jayasudha, Naresh, Revathi, Tanikella Bharani and Brahmaji.

I am very happy for him."
"After seeing the rushes post shooting, I had told him he was very stylish. Though many are scared of him for his bad-guy image in the film, I am sure that girls will definitely like him. He is a typical tall, dark, handsome guy and also an eligible bachelor," added Arjun.
He said he had advised Aadhi that this was the best time for marriage. "His mother told me she was looking for matches for him," reveals Arjun. The actor went on to reveal that he had never worried about the success or failure of the film. "I like massy kind of films and I wanted to do a complete commercial film.

Bunny is the New All Rounder
Allu Arjun has proved his critics wrong by rocking in a heavy duty mass film like Sarrainodu. There were mixed reviews about the film's content, but everyone agreed that Allu Arjun was perfect in and out mass character. The film's collections are proving that masses are more than impressed with Stylish star's new avatar.
Now Allu Arjun can confidently switch between mass and class roles as he is effortlessly fitting into any type of character.
Mahesh Babu was not able to penetrate into the masses till now. Ceded is still considered his weak zone when it comes to box office potential. Ram Charan too is facing problems to win the hearts of family audience.
NTR is yet to strike a balance between mass and class movies as his films are either liked by mass or by the mass.
Only Prabhas has proved that he can appeal to all sections of audiences alike. Now Allu Arjun too proved that he can fit into any character be it mass or class.

According to the trade experts the movie may accumulate around Rs.70 crores world wide share at the end of its full run. With no big release is ahead in near future, it may be a cake walk the movie achieving its targets.
'Sarrainodu' has Rakul Preet Singh and Catherine Tresa, who sizzled opposite to Allu Arjun. The movie was shaped up as an out and out mass entertainer in the hands of Boyapati Srinu. Thaman has composed the music of the movie. Mega Producer Allu Aravind has produced the movie on Geetha Arts.
Bunny Silences Critics - Jampacked Shows for Sarrainodu
Allu Arjun has clearly proved that he is something apart from the critics and reviews. 'Sarrainodu' which is clear heavy duty mass film was carried single handed by Allu Arjun. Even though the movie opened to negative critics and reviews, there was a remarkable turn around in Box-office from day two.

Trade analysts feel the movie will enter profit zone from Sunday. Theatre occupancy has been more than 80% even on weekdays due to Summer vacation and as there are no big releases closing by, it is a cake walk for Allu Arjun to score easily.
After Prabhas, Its only Bunny!
Slowly & Steadily, Allu Arjun has been gaining acceptance from all the sections of people. He is regarded as a Complete Actor/All-Rounder post the release of 'Sarrainodu'!
Until now, Only Prabhas managed to win the hearts of all sections of audience. While Mass Circuits were slightly considered as the weak zone of Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan was unable to rule the hearts of class or family audience so far. On the other hand, NTR is trying his best to strike a balance between class & mass since few years.
Prior to 'Sarrainodu', Allu Arjun has mostly appealed to class audience. Once the mass entertainer hit the screens, The perception of people changed with the excellent portrayal of mass character. He now earns the reputation of an Actor who could get into the skin of any character effortlessly. Stylish Star rulez...!
Sarrainodu 1st Week USA Collections
Allu Arjun's latest flick 'Sarrainodu', which was released on April 22nd 2016 worldwide, has failed to beat the opening weekend records of his earlier super hit movie releases "Race Gurram" and "S/O Sathyamurthy".
Stylish Star's earlier releases has minted good amount form the US Box office, but now his latest arrival is struggling hard at the US box office.
Sarrainodu was released in 160 screens in North America and had a special premier shows in many locations on Thursday night, but still the movie has collected $678,519 in its opening weekend at the US box office.

If we look into Allu Arjun's earlier flick "Race Gurram" has minted $844,101 which means Rs. 5.08 cr in its opening weekend collections at US box office, where this movie was released in less than 100 screens. Even hit next release "S/O Sathyamurthy" also collected $ 1,111,489 i.e., Rs. 6.49 crores from the US box office in its opening weekend, this movie has got 130 screens. But "Sarrainodu" has got 160 screens but it failed to beat the records of his earlier releases.

Buuny Calls Him the Best Hard Worker
Stylish Star Allu Arjun has all praises for Boyapati Srinu. In connection with the blockbuster success of his latest offing 'Sarrainodu', Allu Arjun gave the movie's promotional interviews to various media houses.
Allu Arjun revealed his experience working with the technicians and actors of the movie. Speaking about the director of the movie, Boyapati Srinu, Allu Arjun said, " I have never seen such a hard worker till now. He is the best hard worker among the directors I worked with. Intelligence may or may not give success. But hard work surely bestows the success as such Boyapati Srinu has great success percentage."
Speaking about the heroines Allu Arjun said, " I like the character sketch of Catherine Tresa in the movie as these kind of roles are scarcely seen by us in movies. However, I personally like Rakul Preet Singh. She is beautiful, clever and having a kind heart." Meanwhile, Allu Arjun heaped praises on hero Srikanth who essayed his babai role in the film. He said Srikanth accepted this role just because of his affection on mega family.
Before Bunny's Film, There is Horror
In fact, director Vikram K Kumar has locked his films for the next. After the release of "24" he's actually rumoured to be working with this director. But here goes the twist.
Speaking with Tamil media today, Vikram stated that he has actually prepared two more horror scripts for his super hit "13B" movie. They are titled as "13C" and "13D" movie. So he is not sure which film he would take up but he will take a decision only after release of 24.
Actually Vikram is supposed to work with Bunny, by working on the script for 6 months. So we have to see what is going to happen. Maybe a little horror before Bunny's film.
Bunny: What Next?
Despite mixed talk and not so encouraging reviews, Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu' is holding well at the ticket window. Going by the collections, it is likely to be considered as a hit movie.
Now comes the question: What next for Allu Arjun? The stylish star has already committed to do a film with director Vikram Kumar of 'Manam' and '24'. But the film will only begin in December this year.
So, he has six months gap to finish a quick movie. Although he has approached Trivikram and has discussions with Tamil director Linguswamy, none are finalized. Let's see which film he would commence immediately.
Sci- Fi Thriller for Bunny?
Allu Arjun is fresh from his mass avatar in director Boyapati Srinu's Sarrainodu. And we hear he will soon move away from that image as he gears up for a science fiction film with LInguswamy.
Yes, buzz is that the actor's Tamil-Telugu bilingual with the director will be a science fiction film which will be an extremely new and fresh story for the actor who has so far been seen either as the lover boy or mass hero.
Bunny is said to have heard the script and was immediately impressed too. But a concrete decision is yet to be made. Till then, let's wait.
Telugu Students Arrested in Sarrainodu Theater at USA
A group of Telugu students were caught red handed while watching Allu Arjun's Sarrainodu movie without buying ticket in USA. A ccording to reports, the three students from a local university in Kansas were watching the film without buying tickets BB 16, Overland Park.
The management of the theatres caught them red handed and tried to inform the police but they were let off after the local exhibitor intervene din the matter.
There are reports that it has become common for several Telugu students to watch films without buying tickets. Apparently, some Telugu students often sneak in and watch movies without buying tickets. Earlier a group of four were arrested by the cops while they were watching Oopiri movie in a theater in Texas.
This incident came across as a rude shock to several Telugu students at the university and President of Telugu Association of Greater Kansas City (TAGKC) warned the students and said such offences would show impact on their immigration status.
Bunny Opts for Lingusamy because of Mahesh
Stylish Star Allu Arjun turned into a mass hero with the film Sarrainodu. Irrespective of the talk, film has been managing to mint superb numbers from all over. Though in week days, Sarrainodu is getting superb inflow.
On the other hand, now all eyes are on his next. As much speculated, Allu Arjun will be joining hands with Tamil director Lingusamy. Discussions are currently completed and pre production work will kickstart soon.
Actually Bunny is interested to work with Vikram Kumar but this project might get delayed as Vikram is keen to work with Mahesh in his next. Actually 24 movie was first narrated to Mahesh but Super Star backedout from the project as those roles will not suit him. So Allu Arjun has decided to go with Lingusamy this time.
Stylish Star Allu Arjun's 'Sarrainodu' collected a share of Rs.29.08 crores at the end of its five days run in AP and Telangana. Given below is the area wise break up of shares.
AREA FIVE DAYS SHARE (IN CRORES)

Sarrainodu is Bigger than Sardar Gabbar Singh
Ram Gopal Varma is back again with his mid night tweets and this time he took it on Allu Arjun. RGV apparently has watched the film Sarrainodu and has been making comparisons with Pawan Kalyan and his film Sardaar Gabbar Singh now. "Since Sarainodu is a far far bigger hit than a far far bigger Sardar Gabbar Singh is Bunny far far bigger? ..just asking. I never thought anything about Bunny compared to him but am so very surprised that with Sarainodu he became so much bigger than him." he tweeted yesterday.
Bunny Thanks Boyapati Sreenu
Stylish Star Allu Arjun's latest release Sarrainodu is running successfully across the Telugu states, and the makers are thrilled with the film becoming a hit despite the initial backlash. In a recently held success meet, Allu Arjun was all praise for his director, Boyapati Sreenu.
Bunny said that he always loved commercial films and that he had requested Boyapati to show him in a total massy avatar. The actor says that he is happy with the way his wish and purpose of doing Sarrainodu were fulfilled eventually. The Stylish Star further thanked his director for giving him a hit film.
Bunny also heaped praises on his nemesis in the film, Aadhi Pinisetty, saying that Aadhi took the risk of doing a negative role despite being a lead hero in Tamil and pulled it off with aplomb.
Sarrainodu Racing Towards 1 Million USD
Allu Arjun-starrer Sarrainodu has crossed half-million dollar mark in US on Saturday and racing towards 1 Million USD, says US distributor Sudheer. As per the distributor, the film so far garnered over Rs 7,00,000 USD and heading towards 1 Million USD. The US distributors are happy with the collaboration of Allu Arjun and director Boyapati Sreenu and laughing all the way to the bank as the cash-registers are ringing at BO.
Even during the film's success event held recently, producer and distributor Allu Aravind came out in open and announced that the film's one of the highest grossers in Allu Arjun and Boyapati's career.
Sarrainodu Eyes Huge First Week Share
'Sarrainodu' is racing towards Rs 50 crore club at the Box Office. Even on Weekdays, the film is generating superb revenues in all territories of Telugu States and there isn't much difference between the share of Day 2 & Day 5.
On Day 5, 'Sarrainodu' collected a share of Rs 3.4 crore in AP & Nizam.
Worldwide First Week share of 'Sarrainodu' could be close to Rs 45 crore. This is a phenomenal feat for a film whose theatricals were valued at Rs 53 crore.
Trade Circles expect 'Sarrainodu' to attain break-even in the 2nd Weekend itself. Allu Arjun believes it could end up as biggest grosser in his career, surpassing 'Race Gurram', in the full run.
Sarrainodu 5 Days Collections (share):
Nizam: Rs 9.59 crore
Ceded: Rs 5.69 crore
Uttar Andhra: Rs 3.38 crore
Guntur: Rs 2.78 crore
Krishna: Rs 1.92 crore
East: Rs 2.42 crore
West: Rs 2.22 crore
Nellore: Rs 1.17 crore
Sarrainodu 5 Days AP & Nizam Collections: Rs 29.17 crore
What a Planning from Bunny!
Allu Arjun is enjoying the success of his 'Sarrainodu'. Despite the mixed talk, the film is doing exceptional business. He will be working with Vikram Kumar for his next project which is expected to an experimental film.
If we look at his recent films, we will get an idea of the variety he offered. His 'S/o Satyamurthy' was a complete family entertainer. After that, he did a warrior role in a historical movie like 'Rudhramadevi' and proved his mettle as an actor. His recent film 'Sarrainodu' is an out-and-out mass entertainer with full of action episodes. Next, he agreed to Vikram Kumar's script and Vikram is known for experimental films like '13B', 'Manam' and '24'.
This way, Bunny is planning his career carefully by offering variation from film to film. Wish that he continues this strategy in future too.

Sarrainodu Review


The Nexus 6 is Slower Than the Nexus 5?
In our experience, the Nexus 6 was slower than the Nexus 5. Apps took longer to launch, tasks took longer to switch, and sometimes—particularly during heavy multitasking—our Nexus 6 liked to get stuck and pause for a few minutes while it thought about things. It would often "chug" during our normal usage and in general felt like a slow device.
The review goes on to show benchmarks that pale in comparison to those of last year's Nexus 5…that also costs half the price of the new phone. I trust Ars did proper testing, so I'm just a little shocked at some of the raw numbers.
If you are a regular around here, you'll know I don't care too much about raw specs, but take a look at the video they have on page 2 of the review and you'll see the old Nexus beat this new phone in every single real-world speed test.
I'm not saying the Nexus 6 is a bad phone, but it seems odd that with hardware that should be leaps and bounds better than last years' phones, that it is kind of sluggish in day-to-day use.

I met Meschelle when we were both on leadership teams with Stonecroft Ministries and what a joy it was to know her and her fun, friendly and outgoing personality! As a speaker for our group she was funny, entertaining with her life stories, sincere and most of all REAL.
I believe lives were changed because of the experiences she shared. I can't endorse her highly enough!

Planning the Comfort Quilt – quilt-along has been a lot of fun for me! I love taking one of my designs and tweaking it. When I asked in the initial sign-up email for size preferences, I had a lot of varied responses. So I got to work re-designing The Comfort Quilt in all the quilt sizes requested.
At first I thought the king size request was an anomaly, but a few more rolled in, so I kept going. I've been tempted to make a larger quilt myself even! But I need to make sure I can keep up with all of you – I'll be sewing the throw size. Which happens to be my favorite size quilt!
I'm finalizing the schedules and will have those soon, along with some tips for working with scraps and selecting scraps to be included.
If you haven't yet, be sure to sign up for the emails, so you have access to all the downloads.
Sign up for The Comfort Quilt — Quilt-along here!
This also gives me the opportunity to encourage you as we sew together, and share what our fellow quilters are working on. I'm planning to post each week here, featuring your work, and cheering you on!
Over on Instagram be sure to use the #ComfortQuiltQAL hashtag so that we can find your posts easily.


Former Fair Haven teacher offers a lecture on food as a bridge to understanding cultures.
The unique gastronomy of Colombia will be at the heart of a talk given by a Monmouth County native, who currently is teaching and initiating cultural enterprises in the South American country.
Basil Henning grew up in Rumson and taught Spanish in Fair Haven schools for five years. He will speak at 6:30 pm on Monday, December 18 at Canyon Pass Provisions, 733 River Road in Fair Haven.
Henning, whose master's thesis focuses on the use of gastronomy as a guide to understanding cultures, will set the scene with an overview of Colombia's bio and cultural diversity and then explore the country's regional foodways.
Through his volunteer work with Fundacion Futuro con Futuro, a non-profit organization facilitating education programs that include promoting sustainable food security, Henning has been helping vulnerable rural communities in Colombia return to organic farming practices and reconnect to a heritage of diverse crops and medicinal plants.
Henning teaches social studies at a GI school in Armenia, Colombia, and also founded Del Pueblo Artesanias. By partnering with artisans in the country, and directly purchasing and selling their handmade products, Henning is able to spread word of Colombian artisanship.
For more information about Henning's program and Canyon Pass Provisions, call 732-933-3555 or visit canyonpass.com.

De NS-locserie 2900 is een kleine serie van vijf dieselelektrische locomotieven die tussen 1970 en 1974 werd ingezet door de Nederlandse Spoorwegen. Ze werden in 1970 door de NS overgenomen van de Staatsmijnen.

Geschiedenis

Staatsmijnen
Naar aanleiding van een demonstratie in 1955 met een door General Motors en Electro-Motive Division gebouwde diesellocomotief G12 7707 in diverse Europese landen, waaronder Nederland, plaatsten de Staatsmijnen een bestelling van vijf locomotieven.
De locomotieven werden in 1956-1959 gebouwd door Henschel & Sohn, sinds 1957 Henschel-Werke geheten, in Kassel in licentie van de Electro-Motive Division (EMD), onderdeel van General Motors. EMD bouwde de dieselmotoren, de tractiemotoren werden door Smit Slikkerveer gebouwd naar een voorbeeld van EMD. De locomotieven waren technisch gelijk aan het type G12 van EMD. Uiterlijk verschilden de locomotieven door een hogere cabine, en extra ramen voor een beter zicht rondom. Op 20-01-1955 werd de eerste locomotief besteld, de Staatsmijnen nummerde de locomotieven 151-155.
De 151 was tevens de eerste door Henschel in licentie gebouwde GM-locomotief en werd op 29-04-1956 op de transportexpositie in Hannover tentoongesteld. De 151 kwam op 15-05-1956 in dienst. De 152-155 werden in 1958 en 1959 aan de Staatsmijnen geleverd. De 151 had een hogere cabine dan de andere vier locs. Voor de 152-155 werd de cabine verlaagd ten opzichte van de 151. De vijf locomotieven kregen elk een andere kleur, waarbij het patroon van de beschildering wel overeenkwam. De 151 was blauw, de 152 groen, de 153 oranje, de 154 rood en de 155 grijs.
Tot 1970 (de 155 tot 1971) deden zij dienst voor het trekken van kolentreinen over het mijnspoor Staatsmijn Maurits - Staatsmijn Hendrik, van de mijnen in Brunssum en Hoensbroek naar Nuth en de haven in Stein.

Nederlandse Spoorwegen
Door de sluiting van de mijnen werden de locomotieven overbodig en vervolgens aan de NS verkocht die ze goed kon gebruiken door de groei van het treinverkeer na 'Spoorslag '70'. In dezelfde periode werden ook de locs serie 1500 van British Rail overgenomen.
De NS deelde de locomotieven in in de serie 2900. Dit was tevens de eerste serie diesellocomotieven in de nieuwe grijs-gele huisstijl. Machinisten die een qua motorvermogen zwakkere NS 2200 gewend waren hadden nog weleens last van wielslip bij het aanzetten.

Zij deden slechts ruim vier jaar dienst bij de NS, voornamelijk vanuit Zwolle. Door reorganisatie van het goederenvervoer (waaronder sluiting van verschillende goederenspoorlijnen) waren er na enkele jaren minder locomotieven nodig en de kleine serie 2900, die bovendien veel storingen had, werd in 1975 buiten dienst gesteld.

Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha
In datzelfde jaar 1975 werden zij naar Spanje verkocht waar zij bij de Ferrocarriles de Vía Estrecha (FEVE) in een blauwe kleurstelling en met de nummers 1421-1425 dienstdeden op de spoorlijn tussen Gijón en Lagreo/Laviana. Nadat deze spoorlijn in 1982 werd omgebouwd tot smalspoor met een spoorwijdte van 1000 mm, werden de 1421-1425 buiten dienst gesteld en gesloopt.

But "The World's Greatest City," is also deemed the "World's Most Expensive" city. Like everything else, student accommodation in Singapore can get pricey. However, with Student.com you can use our robust search feature to compare and find student housing that matches your budget. We list lots of reasonably priced and convenient, all equipped with high-quality modern amenities.
For more information give us a call, one of our consultants is waiting to assist you.
Get to know Singapore
Singapore is a sovereign island city-state located in maritime Southeast Asia. The territory is composed of a combined area of one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying islet.
The 'Lion City' is home to 5.7 million residents, 61 percent (3.4 million) of whom are Singaporean citizens. One of the 'Four Asian Tigers', Singapore is world-renowned for being a centre of innovation and one of the world's leading financial centres. So it might not be the first country that comes to mind when you think about top study abroad destinations, but with two universities in the top 10 of the 2019 Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings, grand shopping malls, luxury restaurants, graceful colonial buildings and historic street marts amidst high rises, it is definitely one to consider.
The city-state earned the title of the "World's Greatest City" by CNN, considering its high quality of life, citizen-friendly policies focused on healthcare and safety, an unparalleled city planning redefining the term "urban oasis," and its breathtaking technologically-advanced infrastructure.
Another source of attraction for international students and visitors is Singapore's celebrated diversity. It isn't just accepted, it's abundantly welcomed and offers a comfortable environment for both residents and visitors alike.
For students who want to explore different cultures, the melding of so many different cultures in Singapore offers a unique worldview. International students quickly acclimate to life in Singapore thanks to its four large ethnic groups: Chinese, Eurasian, Indian, and Malay, each having their own mother tongues. Notwithstanding the strong language diversity, the official language in Singapore is English, which is spoken by approximately 75 percent of the population.
Singapore is diverse, vibrant, and beautiful. But perhaps its biggest positive is its safety record. Notorious for its extremely strict laws and famous for its correspondingly low crime rates, the city-state is undoubtedly one of the safest places to live in the world.
It's actually regarded as the second safest city in the world by both CNN Travel and TripAdvisor, only behind Tokyo, Japan, on their 2019 lists of the World's Safest Cities. With heavy surveillance and general friendliness, the city streets and public transportation are exceptionally secure for wanderers.
Student life in Singapore
If you're a person of action then you'll love life in Singapore. The city is abuzz with people and activities throughout the day and well into the evening. From opportunities to explore superb regional cuisine, multiple unique attractions, vibrant festivals, and unparalleled shopping, it's hard to be bored in Singapore.
When the sun goes down in buttoned-up Singapore, ties loosen, and skyscrapers shine like rock stadiums. Singapore's vibrant nightlife scene is a surprising contrast to its business-like days.
From award-winning cocktail bars to glitzy nightclubs to spectacular rooftop bars, the 'Lion City' roars loudly at night. As long as you follow the strict alcohol laws (consumption of alcoholic drinks in public is prohibited from 10:30pm to 7:00am) chances are you'll have a great time.
The nightlife scene is as diverse as its population with several after-hours establishments scattered across the city catering to different crowds.
Set around a picturesque body of water in the shadow of the towered CBD skyline in the background, it has one of the best locations in the city. A favourite amongst locals and visitors, rows of swanky bars and restaurants line the colourful boulevards of the historical riverside quay offering great alfresco dining, and clubs like Attica and Zirca.
The iconic three-pronged building dominates the city's horizon. Stunning looks are not the only thing going for this imposing complex. It's also a great place to visit after dark with its 360-degree observation deck on the roof, the uber-cool CE LA VI bar on the 57th floor, and the 15,000m2 24-hour casino.
With spectacular views of one of the most iconic skylines in the world, rooftop bars are a big deal in Singapore. 1-Altitude is the highest with more of a club-vibe than that of the more laid-back and luxurious KU DÉ TA (Marina Bay Sands). LeVeL33 (highest craft brewery in the world), and Kinki (a real sushi-lovers' favourite) are worth mentioning too.
Sentosa Beach Bars
If you want to start the partying early, Sentosa is home to some sumptuous Ibiza-style beach bars that are abuzz by mid-afternoon. Azzura Beach Club or Tanjong Beach Club, which holds monthly beach parties like Smack My Beach Up and Full Steam Ahead, are the liveliest spots.
The vibrant heritage and diverse ethnicities of the city-state lend to some internationally renowned festivities. Here are some of the top festivals that take place annually in Singapore:
Chinese New Year (January/February) – the entire Chinatown comes together for a fortnight every year. Malls and streets are dolled up with extravagant decorations.
Dragon Boat Festival (June) - occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional Chinese calendar. It has a long and rich history of ancient ceremonial and ritualistic traditions.
National Day (August) - the most popular festival in Singapore. The nation celebrates its independence with a National Day rally and parade.
Singapore Night Festival (August) - from traditional performances to original works of street artists, this festival attracts a lot of tourists every year.
Singapore River Festival (August) - a week-long festival in Singapore that entails folk performances, optical illusions, and a heritage show along the river to celebrate the origins of Singapore.
Deepavali (November) - Singapore celebrates Diwali like nobody else does outside of India. Look out for fireworks, light displays, shops full of fragrant garlands, and incense sticks.
Singapore Film festival (November) - a global platform for the best of Southeast Asian and Singaporean cinema where you can attend the screenings of some of the greatest international films.
Christmas (December) - come mid-November the streets of Singapore turn into an enchanting fairyland at night with thousands of glittering lights and bulbs and decorated trees.
The city's commitment to education has helped to make it one of the world's most desirable spots for international students. In the 2021 QS World University Rankings, The National University of Singapore is ranked 11th and the Nanyang Technological University 13th in the world.
Formed from a merger of the University of Singapore and Nanyang University in 1980, NUS is the oldest higher education institution in the country. With over 370 different degrees, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral degrees, and graduate diplomas, it has a lot to offer across its three campuses and 16 faculties.
NUS's multicultural community brings together students and members of staff from over 100 countries around the world.
The university's alumni consist of numerous elite figures including Benjamin Sheares and former prime ministers Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong.
NTU was previously named the fastest-rising young university in the world by Times Higher Education. The institution is committed to extensive research in the fields of engineering, business, humanities, arts, social sciences, and medicine.
Its award-winning courses help two-thirds of its graduates secure graduate employment to companies such as JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank before completing their courses.

WOW. it is the art.

WHAT A TIME to be alive in Trinidad and Tobago! Of course merely staying alive in TT is no mean feat, but to be living in this time is something special. As the Carnival season reaches a fever pitch, approaching the anticlimactic, now perfunctory costumed street parade, there has been a discernible shift in the culture. The soca music, which has been on an accelerated evolutionary track over the past few years, has this season achieved what feels very much like the art form's zenith.
Somewhere along the way, there was a quantum leap in the quality of tunes on offer. Soca artistes really seem to have stepped up their game. This early promise was revealed as far back as last year with entries from the likes of Patrice Roberts (pronounced Pah-treece). Her playfully flirtatious Like It Hot bounces on a spirited "riddim." When Ms Roberts says she likes it hot, one is prone to take her seriously; not lukewarm, not room temperature, but global warming hot!
And who hasn't been there…in the first flush of youth to bounce up with your undeclared object of desire at Carnival time? It makes you want to take a chip, make some memories and who knows...perhaps share an STD or two at the close of play. Just kidding! Safety first.
Nadia Batson's So Long exhibits a level of sophistication more akin to the calypso art form of yore. It's an infectious ditty precisely designed for the purpose about which she sings. Women have claimed their territory in the soca world and audiences are all the better for it.
The men are no slouches either. Perennial favourite and heartthrob among both the young and still-dress-like-they-young female fete goers is Kees Differential. Without a doubt, his most captivating tune for the season is Savannah Grass. This song works as an ode to what is Mecca to the masquerader – the Queen's Park Savannah. It is where most of our Carnival history has played out and not been preserved in any meaningful way for future generations.
Savannah Grass is more powerful than any anthem and can rouse dormant patriotism in even the most embittered citizen. In some ways, it feels like a distillation of what it means to be a Trinidadian-Tobagonian.
The music video, which is a nod to our mas heritage, is pore-raising in its nostalgic qualities. Deeply rooted in an electronic dance music base, but firmly anchored in Trini-ness, Kees manages to sow his appeal across generations.
Then, of course, there's Machel Montalban, the reigning Road March titleholder and prolific soca machine. His collaboration with Farmer Nappy titled Day One is definitely morish and continues an if-it-ain't broke-don't-fix-it formula onto which Monsegue stumbled a few years ago.
If soca were a weapon of war, Machel Montevideo would be napalm. He radiates fiercely intense heat, burns off all of your clothes and is absolutely inescapable.
To threaten the civilian population with a 20-song album seems like more than anyone would need of soca, which is essentially the Styrofoam cup of music. None of this will matter after Ash Wednesday. There will be expectations of new material for the next round of band launches which should begin on Ash Thursday.
Machel's legacy would be better served by focusing more on quality than quantity. Still, few out there have the work ethic, professionalism and performance chops to give fete lovers their money's worth quite like Machel.
This year feels like one of the best in recent memory for soca music. For those of you still pining for the days of calypso, there are always the turbid dirges of Chalkdust and the pro-PNM love ballads of cussbud Cro Cro.
Soca music seems to have finally turned a corner. Our artistes have done us proud by showing a determination to keep pushing for a higher standard. Many of them have twinned a business sensibility with better music production to build a sustainable model. That is the future of the art form.
"Ah like it hot!" Hold on Pah-treece, I hear yuh. I comin' with Bengay, a curling iron and a tawa. Just hold on.

One of Mochi's proudest achievements, which came at the end of this period, is the Ladies of the White House series, created from 1941-1943; commissioned by World Book Encyclopedia. The singular portraits show each first lady in her inaugural gown against a contemporary White House background, from Martha Washington to Eleanor Roosevelt, whom Mochi met upon completing the series.
The result of three years of tireless research and craftsmanship, the works are now housed in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. View Series
One of his first major projects in America, this silk mosaic masterpiece was commissioned and displayed by the palatial St. Regis Hotel in New York City in 1928. The gorgeous silk work shone with an intoxicating array of colors and spread Mochi's fame across the city and soon, the country. At the time, the piece was valued at $100,000—
well over $1 million in today's dollars.
From his earliest childhood, Mochi was transfixed by carts and carriages. His transportation series of over 100 pieces is a labor of love, an on-going project Mochi returned to throughout his life.
As new technology in the late 30s allowed intricate images to be affixed to enamel tabletops, Mochi crafted several outlines for Tepco, the leading purveyor of such tables, still prized by collectors.
View Commercial Work
Like many artists during the Depression, Mochi found success in commercial works, creating magazine illustrations. This leaping tiger, commissioned by Texaco, shows Mochi's singular skill at capturing life in two dimensions.

A rare instance of Mochi's paper work in three dimensions, these window displays for department stores reveal the artist's sculptural training and prowess.

Readers discovered Ugo Mochi through his black-and-white illustrations, each a striking image cut in paper, an ideal medium for his poetry of animals in outline. African Shadows (Literary Guild, 1933) brought scientific attention to the artist's unique work. It led to Hoofed Mammals of the World (Scribner, 1953), an extraordinary collection of over 200 images, cut to scale, is today a rare, sought-after volume. This collaboration of artist and author T. Donald Carter, curator of mammals at the American Museum of Natural History was followed by other artist/author books.
Ugo Mochi's vivid cut images illustrate exploits in the life of a president who was at heart a naturalist in Theodore Roosevelt's America (Devin-Adair, 1955), a book edited by Farida Wiley of the American Museum. For Austin Rand, curator at the Chicago Museum of Natural History, Mochi deftly cut birds in outline that are the elegant chapter headings for American Water & Game Birds (Dutton, 1956).
Another book collaboration ensued. As a student in the mammal department at the American Museum, Dorcas MacClintock had been impressed by the artwork for the hoofed mammals that Ugo Mochi brought in for curatorial approval. Most of all she had admired the small cut outs the artist intended for a story about a young giraffe. Returning east after graduate school, work at the California Academy of Sciences, and a time in East Africa, she asked about the little giraffe. Her inquiry led to a series of books they would do together, as well as to a deepening friendship between author and artist. A Natural History of Giraffes (1976), winner of the New York Academy of Science Book Award, was the first of four books, all published by Scribner. It was followed by A Natural History of Zebras (1976), Horses As I See Them(1980), and African Images (1984).
In 1928, Mochi emigrated from Italy to America. His wife was already here planning a Bach recital. They settled in New York City. It wasn't long before he began work. Sadly, soon after the unveiling of his St. Regis Panel, his beloved wife died. Mochi was again alone in a foreign country. Later, Mochi would marry again and raise a family. America would become his new home.
The Mochi family moved from New York City and settled in New Rochelle, where he worked diligently from his home studio. An active part of the New Rochelle Art Association, Mochi co-sponsored events with Norman Rockwell and other local artists.
