First Speech by First Time CM Mr.YSJ Reddy...
Today, Mr.Yeduguri Sandinti Jaganmohan Reddy (YSJ Reddy/YS Jagan) sworn in as Andhra Pradesh State's Second Chief Minister for the First Time. After his swearing in ceremony, he addressed the people and in his first speech, he spoke about his plans for developing the state, implementing his manifesto, having good and inspiring governance. His speech seems to have a canny resemblance to a dialog in the Telugu Movie 'Mass' in which Mr.Nagarjuna is the lead.
To note, in that film, Mr.Nagarjuna, fondly called as Yuva Samrat (YS), delivers a dialog giving dates and relevant activities to be done on those respective dates, as a part of reaching his goal. Likewise, today Mr.YS Jagan delivered his speech with similar pattern of announcing various dates and relevant activities to be done on those respective dates; such as, Pension Scheme in June, CM Call Center by Aug 15th, Govt Jobs by Oct 02nd; in this year of 2019. Pretty cinematic view, yet very coincidental.
Here is a link for the speech during the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0StpO4tTkTo
May the best happen for the State and Society during his reign and the best results in the interest of the people, to be seen. All the very best to the Nava Yuva Neta (New Young Leader) from YSR Congress Party, an acronym for Yuvajana Sramika Raithu Congress Party which literally means Youth, Labour and Farmer Congress Party; to have a fruitful term leading the State. ఎన్నిక(ల)కు ముందు "రావాలి జగన్, కావాలి జగన్...", ఇక ముందు "వచ్చాడు జగన్, తెచ్చాడు జగన్..."!
P.S: The Hero in the movie 'Mass' fights against a Father-Son duo to end their tyranny in Andhra Pradesh State (Vizag City). Current CM, a leader of 'Masses' also probably claims to do the similar.

Maharshi - A mix of roles played by Aamir (in 3 Idiots - Brilliant Engineering Student), Salman (in Dabangg - Fearless with power to dent), Shahrukh (in Swades - Rich Returning Non-Resident); the character played by 'SSPMBG' in his 25th movie has the shades of all three super KHANs of Bollywood, a story penned by three writers, financed by three producers, with making time of three years, running time of almost three hours, a title of three letters (in Telugu), revolving around three main characters, along with loads of other characters with seasoned actors for unreasoned logic, songs and music without much magic and for the audience, no kick. The lines like "Success is a journey, not a destination" and "Farmers need respect, not any sympathy" are fine, but do not shine. The concept is good, about the one who produces food; however, it is not new and this movie seems like 'Srimanthudu-Two', the father in which becomes foe of the show-off hero in this film. 25 films as a hero in 20 years seem a journey with not much success by books; but by looks, still as a 25 year old hero even after two decades, is definitely a success for Mahesh, if not for Maharshi. It was Bekele then, Mo Farah now, someone later; similarly it was Lewis then, Bolt now, somebody later. Success might be a journey, be it short or long; but the travellers keep changing all along; and successful are those who know LEAFing (Learning, Evolving, Adapting, Flourishing) and passing on the fruits to the next before falling off and LEAVing the path/track. Those will earn respect irrespective of any aspect, like the old farmer shown in the film, a Maharshi (Maha-Rishi/Great-Sage) in his own right.
P.S: A scene in this film, a conversation between the hero and his professor about success, short sprint and long race; it was similar to the one which I had in my life with my manager, a decade ago. Similar references and responses, nothing in specific now; but for me, a moment of deja vu/wow.
