The play, Eashwar Allah tero naam, began in a breezy atmosphere at the Lamakaan. As soon as it began, its luck ran out with the onset of rain and the audience fled to catch a dry spot. After a brief pause for the downpour, the play resumed full furore. Eashwar Allah tero naam is based on communal harmony. The play is a reflection of communal hatred that seems to be seeping into every open split and crevice of our society. What once was a great land of many positive adjectives, ‘Sone ki chidiya’ is now reckoned with deep-seated anger and violence amidst different faiths and communities. The play was staged suggestive to the upcoming Independence Day. The play suggested that if this communal hatred and violence are given breathing space, it would suck out any remaining peace and ultimately lead to a burning nation.

Movies | Plays | Concerts

Update: BookMyShow has declined to comment on the reason for the ban but confirmed that the ban is for all online players.

Due to Statutory reasons (Govt. of AP), online ticketing for movies in Andhra Pradesh has been disallowed. Ticket bookings are now restricted to the Box Office. We are currently not sure about the online ticketing for Plays. As per the Government’s order, they are not allowing all the players to do online ticketing.

So that would mean KyaZoonga is not honoring the ban or probably no one bothered to inform them. We are waiting for comments from KyaZoonga.

How does govt. really keep a track of this?

Earlier: Online movie ticketing portal, BookMyShow is reporting a ban on online ticketing in Andhra Pradesh. The exact reason for ban is unknown but as per BookMyShow’s update the ban seems to be enforced by the Government of AP.

Due to statutory reasons (Govt. of AP), all online ticketing in Andhra Pradesh has been taken off the web till further notice.

The ban seems to be only for Cinema ticket booking and not for travel or any other tickets. All the official sites of cinema chains like PVR, Fame, Big Cinemas and other smaller cinemas have stopped there online bookings. Most of them are managed by BookMyShow’s parent company, Big Tree Entertainment. Surprisingly, KyaZoonga.com is allowing booking for Hyderabad.

It is still not clear whether it is a ban specific to Big Tree Entertainment or a blanket ban. We have contacted BookMyshow and are waiting to hear from them.

The movie is being colorized by Gold Stone Technologies ltd. It took almost three years for the creative director C. Jagan Mohan to transform the black and white movie into color one. Approximately 165 technicians have made their efforts in making this project. This is the first project to be made so, in south Indian film industry. Super good Films released this movie.

The term extra judicial killing is very pertinent as the need for the so-called encounter killings comes only when the existing judiciary system completely fails to bring the criminals to book.

If and when the law and order reaches a state of high deterioration the existing judiciary system will fail which will put the police under duress from the political system and they will have no choice but to take extreme steps which will create extreme men and extreme situations. Then when things reach to a normalcy all those extreme men who rose up to the situation to save the system become victims of that very same system and this is the highly ironical cycle of the powers within.

The so-called encounter killings happen when the police strongly believe that an individual is definitely a killer but they cannot prove that in a court of law thus ensuring detention and punishment. But since they are under compulsion to save the society from those men, they are forced to kill them in the so-called fake encounters.

Rumour has it that they also do it sometimes to silence a guy from opening his mouth in the court which can cause harm to some higher ups both in the Police department and the Government with regards to their own individual connections with the criminal world.

It also is supposed to happen when a cop starts developing a nexus with one particular gang and either as a favour to it or because of being paid for it he starts eliminating members of the other gangs.

And lastly and most horrifically he could also be doing it for his own personal reasons in terms of his pride, ego and sometimes just for plain one-up man ship.

All the above reasons whether they are true or not, many among us readily believe them to be true and this is because we can connect to the mind state of those people who are put in those kind of positions and situations.

A Police Officer lamented to me how his department just uses him and officers like him when the going is bad and once done just wants to wash its hands off.

A senior Police Official told me that “Even though the judiciary fails, we just can’t fake encounters. A doctor is not supposed to treat the patient by over medication and also there is a difference between the police systems intention and an individual police officers interpretation of it. If a few police officers due to their ego and greed try to become bigger than the system they are bound to end up without their jobs or even in jails”.

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”, said Bernard Shaw in the context of political leaders. But in spirit this is also true for both the underworld and the policeworld.

It is always the organizational difficulties and the politics within the organization which give rise to various complications between individuals in any organization.

Inspite of both the worlds working on different sides of the law, whatever kinds of problems exist within an underworld organization the same set of problems exist even within a police organization by the very nature of their functions.

If you read and hear the stories of Police Officers accusing each other of various crimes and when things reach even to the extent of the unprecedented incident of a Police Commissioner himself being arrested, we can clearly see that the lines drawn in between the men within the department are very thin.

Society at large wants to just have a peaceful existence, a criminal world is trying to disrupt it and a policeworld is trying to protect it. But ironically the forces of both the worlds are identical in nature with respect to their individual egos, ambitions and conflicts.

But then we have to realize and understand that they are all human beings at the end of the day just like any of us and they are all as vulnerable to any and every emotion that any of us can ever get and will be subjected to.

With my long understanding of both the psychological and logistical aspects of both the policeworld and the underworld through my various contacts and sources in and outside the Police department over the past decade, if in my film “Company” I dealt with the complexities of an underworld organization, I feel it’s high time I make a film on the complexities of the policeworld organization. The issue of the encounter cops will only form a small part of it and it would largely deal with the internal problems between the various departments of the police and more so with the internal problems between the people of the same department.

I decided to call this film “Company 2 – The other side”.
