Astrology Point In 'Sivaji' Is Keen and Right

The films 'Murari', 'Baba', 'Bhadra' and even the fresh one 'Sivaji' have made some scenes and dialogues with the subject of Astrology. There is a film 'Relax' that was completely dealt with Astrology. How far the truth prevails in them? When Vakkantham Chandramouli was asked about this, he has given his opinion.

Astro Maestro Vakkantham Chandramouli says, "Films are playing with Astrology many times with false impressions. But in the fresh film Sivaji, the Astrologer says that 'Rajju' aspect in Hora spoils the compatibility of bride and groom and he also emphasizes that if 'Rajju' is not matching the pair shouldn't get married. That's a keen aspect. Rajju is nothing but the meter that measures mangalya balam. That is generally ignored in Andhra but Tamil and Kerala pundits are very keen in assessing Rajju. That way Sivaji's writer appears to have made better research before stepping into writing".

Vakkantham Chandramouli added that the dialogue writer of any film should consult right people while writing subject oriented dialogues- be it Astrology, Law, Medicine or Business.
