Rajanna Movie

When India won independence in 1947, Hyderabad was a princely state still ruled by the Nizam, though it had fallen into the hands of the Razakars, a private militia organised by Qasim Razvi to support the rule of the Nizam who did not want to join the Indian Union.


The film opens with the tale of Mallamma (Annie), a young girl brought up in Nellakondapalli village by a village elder she affectionately calls Thatha (grandpa). She is a good singer but incurs the wrath of the village head (the dorasani played by Shwetha Menon) who disapproves of her singling. When she hears about her father Rajanna's tale, Mallamma is inspired to fight for freedom from the British.

Rajanna and four of his friends fight the British, but when he returns to his village he find that the Razakars and landlords (doras) are oppressing the villagers. He inspires and motivates the villagers to revolt through his songs. When necessary, he resorts to arms. He is progressive in his thoughts as he talks of education, health, electricity and reforms for the village.

Akkineni Nageswara Rao's voice-over gives the historical details about how the Razakars and the landlords were exploiting the local peasantry. Music in the movie is excellent.

Power Supply Interruption

Power cuts are back, quite early this year. Every year, we witness power cuts in the summer season but they are longer, frequent and causing more inconvenience this year. The temperatures are consistently hitting the 40-degree mark early in the season this year. This excessive heat wave accompanied by the frequent power cuts is showing a glimpse of the hell to the people of Hyderabad.




According to the Central Power Distribution Company Limited (CPDCL), a two-hour power cut in the twin cities is imposed due to the increase in consumption and decrease in generation of electricity. The power cut is being administered in two spells of an hour each I the twin cities.



Sub urban areas are already witnessing more than two-hour power cuts per day. The two-hour load relief has been extended even to the areas located in the center of the city. Timings of the power cuts in some of the areas in the city are:

Apart from this two-hour load relief power cut, the frequent interruptions in power supply are making it very difficult for the citizens of the city to withstand the heat wave
