Moshe Dayan’s watercolour paintings for Sekhar Kammula’s ‘Love Story’ highlight the love stories behind Hyderabad’s well known monuments
The song ‘Nee Chitram Choosi’ from director Sekhar Kammula’s forthcoming Telugu film
Love Story, starring Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya, would have been just another aching love ballad but for the added narrative of depicting Hyderabad as a city of love.
As Anurag Kulkarni croons Mittapalli Surender’s lyrics in the song composed by Pawan Ch, visuals from the film are interspersed with artist Moshe Dayan’s watercolour paintings in the lyric video unveiled on February 14, highlighting Hyderabad’s eponymous love stories.
Negligence of authorities is killing centuries-old Shaikpet Mosque

Hyderabad: Centuries-old mosque at Shaikpet once housed worshippers in hundreds at any point of the day. The structure is currently in piles of ruin and is casually left to. Though the authorities blame the lack of funds, the government’s negligence is what led to its current state.
Apart from the obvious unsightliness, the structure now looks akin to a haunted house with the garden area full of weeds and trees, spider webs, broken and damaged pillars, vandalized walls and the rusted gate covered with weeds and climbers.
