Penny Song: Mahesh, Sitara Groove To Peppy Track

Superstar Mahesh Babu’s much awaited movie Sarkaru Vaari Paata seems to have songs of different genre.

First song Kalaavathi was a romantic melody with soothing composition, wherein the second song Penny is a dubstep dance music with a message about money.

S Thaman adds peppiness to the song with his energetic composition, while Nakash Aziz’s vocals are lively and enjoyable.

Ananta Sriram who provided lyrics for the first song has penned lyrics for this song as well which is an introduction song of Mahesh Babu.

The song also discloses Mahesh Babu’s characterization in the movie.

We get to see more of Sitara’s amazing dances and Mahesh Babu’s stylish moves in this music video.

Sitara indeed added more grace and elegance with her appearance in the music video.

The visuals look grand and vibrant, thanks to R Madhi’s top-notch camera work. Like the first song, Penny song is also an instant hit.

Mahesh Babu will be seen romancing Keerthy Suresh in this family and action entertainer being helmed by Parasuram.

NFL Power Rankings for Week 11: Patriots finding their groove

In hindsight, what was the rest of the NFL thinking? 

Letting Bill Belichick get his hands on a quarterback compared to a young Tom Brady without even having to trade up from the No. 15 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft? 

Sooner rather than later, it might be blasphemous that Mac Jones was the fifth quarterback selected in the first round. In the meantime, it looks like Jones is the right person to steer the Patriots out of a one-year irrelevance without Brady and back into the AFC playoffs, where no team wants to line up against Belichick. While the Patriots are rising fast, it seems almost every other team outside of the top two is sinking. 

Here are The Post’s power rankings for Week 11: 

1. Tennessee Titans, 8-2 (1) 

The Titans have won an NFL-best six in a row. More impressively? After slipping past the Saints, the last five wins are against playoff teams from last season, making the Titans only the second team (2003 Eagles) to accomplish that feat. Jeffery Simmons has five sacks in the last two games. Ryan Tannehill ran for and threw for a touchdown.

2. Green Bay Packers, 8-2 (2) 

You could look at the Packers’ 17-0 win against the Seahawks (3-0 after three quarters) as Aaron Rodgers struggling without a week of practice in his return from a COVID-19-enforced absence. Or you could look at it as dominant defense holding Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson to 34 total points in the last three games. Running back Aaron Jones was lost to a MCL injury. 

3. Arizona Cardinals, 8-2 (3) 

Colt McCoy’s magic touch as a backup quarterback for the Giants in 2020 and Cardinals in 2021 disappeared with two first-quarter turnovers, and the Cardinals ran into an emotional buzzsaw in Cam Newton’s first game back with the Panthers. Kyler Murray (ankle) could return next week. DeAndre Hopkins is missed, too. 

4. Dallas Cowboys, 7-2 (7) 

The Cowboys’ two-week wild ride best epitomizes the wide-open state of the NFL right now. One week after trailing the Broncos 30-0 in the fourth quarter, the NFL’s top-ranked offense walloped the Falcons, 43-3, behind defensive coordinator Dan Quinn’s revenge game against a team he coached to the Super Bowl. 

5. Los Angeles Rams, 7-3 (4) 

The Rams added Von Miller, then lost the next game. They added Odell Beckham Jr., then lost the next game. Who will they add this week? Dan Marino? Barry Sanders? Lawrence Taylor? What a golden opportunity to tie the Cardinals wasted in a blowout loss to the 49ers. Sean McVay’s offense looks broken. 

6. New England Patriots, 6-4 (10) 

Jones threw three touchdown passes, including two to Hunter Henry, in a 45-7 rout of the Browns. Henry has seven touchdown catches in the last seven games. Can anyone think of the last great quarterback-tight end duo to play in New England? 

7. Buffalo Bills, 6-3 (9) 

The jokes at the Bills’ expense after a 9-6 loss to the Jaguars can stop now. Turns out they do know how to embarrass a bad team as shown by a 45-17 win against the Jets. An often one-dimensional passing offense showed a new wrinkle with four rushing touchdowns, but the AFC East is no longer theirs for the taking. 

8. Kansas City Chiefs, 6-4 (11) 

How fitting it was that Patrick Mahomes torched the Raiders for five touchdown passes after it was the Raiders who provided a blueprint for slowing down the Chiefs during a win last season. So, the Chiefs – the rare team without a head-scratching loss – are leading the AFC West after too-soon reports of their demise. 

9. Baltimore Ravens, 6-3 (5) 

The Ravens, Buccaneers and Steelers – the next three teams listed – all suffered stunning results. The Dolphins made Lamar Jackson look ordinary by blitzing safeties Jevon Holland (21 times) and Brandon Jones (17) more times than any defensive backs in any game since 2016, according to NextGenStats. The Ravens failed to score at least 14 points for the first time in the last 51 games.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 6-3 (6) 

The Bucs have lost two straight and are a “very dumb football team,” coach Bruce Arians said. Brady threw two interceptions and the defense allowed a 19-play fourth-quarter touchdown drive to Washington, which avenged its playoff loss. One downfall of fielding an old team is injuries – and the Bucs have too many to list. 

11. Pittsburgh Steelers, 5-3-1 (8) 

12. New Orleans Saints, 5-4 (12) 

13. Indianapolis Colts, 5-5 (15) 

14. Minnesota Vikings, 4-5 (21) 

15. Los Angeles Chargers, 5-4 (13) 

16. San Francisco 49ers, 4-5 (22) 

17. Las Vegas Raiders, 5-4 (16) 

18. Carolina Panthers, 5-5 (25) 

19. Cleveland Browns, 5-5 (14) 

20. Cincinnati Bengals, 5-4 (18) 

21. Philadelphia Eagles, 4-6 (26) 

22. Denver Broncos, 5-5 (17) 

23. New York Giants, 3-6 (23) 

Winners of two of their last three, the Giants have wins over the current No. 6 and No. 7 seeds in the NFC playoffs (Saints and Panthers, respectively). They will draw an angry Tom Brady on “Monday Night Football,” but then the schedule softens, including a slew of offenses that can be contained in the Giants’ defense-first winning formula. 

24. Seattle Seahawks, 3-6 (20) 

25. Washington Football Team, 3-6 (29) 

26. Atlanta Falcons, 4-5 (19) 

27. Chicago Bears, 3-6 (24) 

28. Miami Dolphins, 3-7 (30) 

29. Jacksonville Jaguars, 2-7 (27) 

30. New York Jets, 2-7 (28) 

The Jets have allowed 175 points over the last four games (1-3), which is the second-most in a four-game span by any team since 1970, according to ESPN. The Patriots (54), Colts (45) and Bills (45) made the Jets the first team since the 1966 Giants to give up at least 45 points three times over four games. Yeah, the young defense also is a bad defense. 

31. Houston Texans, 1-8 (31) 

32. Detroit Lions, 0-8-1 (32)

Big Ten Recap: Illinois Ruins Football Season for Penn State, Michigan Stays Unbeaten and Wisconsin Finds Its Groove Again

We gather here today to celebrate the fall of Clemson.

With the Tigers’ 27-17 loss at No. 23 Pitt Saturday, Dabo Swinney has two conferences losses before November for the first time in over a decade, and the “Is this the end of Clemson’s Dynasty?” pieces are already being written.

I am absolutely here for it.

Let’s hit the lowlights from that juicy L, shall we:

Dang. Hate to see that team lose its composure. And what’s this? A pitch-six?

Clemson now sits 4–3 on the season. In five games played against FBS programs, the Tigers have managed to top 20 points just once, and that’s when they got 21 in a 27-21 loss at North Carolina State.

Dabo always said he’d quit if college players were ever compensated. I’m glad to see he’s a man of his word.

But back to why we’re truly here: Michigan moved to 7–0, Illinois shocked everyone on earth, Purdue’s stay in the top 25 figures to be brief, and Minnesota controls its own destiny? Let’s get to it.


Illinois 20, #7 Penn State 18 (9OT)

  Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 OT  
   ILLINOIS 0 7 0 3 10 20
   #7 PENN STATE 7 3 0 0 8 18

I’ve spent the last seven weeks shining up the Big Ten, particularly the Big Ten East. What do I get for it? Penn State, one of the pillars of the East, losing a nine-overtime game, uh, whatever the opposite of thriller is, to what I thought was the worst Power 5 team in the nation, 20-18.

That’s not a typo. This game, thanks to a new NCAA rule forcing teams into an effective shootout – alternating two-point conversions – once a game hits the third overtime, went nine deep and still hit the under, with a meager 38 points scored between Illinois and Penn State.

The game went into the books as the longest in NCAA history – as far as overtimes are concerned, at least – and was every bit as bad as it sounds. Behold:

So how did we get there?

Penn State, playing with gorgeous retro end zones for homecoming, welcomed quarterback Sean Clifford back from an injury that knocked him out of the Iowa game two weeks ago and his 42-yard touchdown toss to KeAndre Lambert-Smith helped stake the Nittany Lions to a 10-0 first-half lead.

But then, Illinois went to work on the ground.

Behind Chase Brown’s 223 and Joshua McCray’s 142, the Illini rushed for a staggering 357 yards on the afternoon, completely manhandling the Penn State defense on the line of scrimmage. It was a lot of this, and it worked.

I mean, Illinois won this game with 38 passing yards. Thirty-eight!

Meanwhile, Clifford, clearly still not 100%, completed just 19 of 34 for 165 yards (and took four sacks), and the Penn State ground game, which has struggled all season, managed 62 yards on 29 carries.

Still, Penn State had several chances to win the game!

After Penn State hit a field goal in the first overtime, Jaquan Brisker dropped an interception on the ensuing Illinois possession. In the third overtime, Penn State dialed up a quarterback throwback that Clifford dropped all alone at the two. In the fourth overtime, the Nittany Lions knocked out Illinois’ starting quarterback, Artur Sitkowski. But alas…

Honestly, if I were a Penn State fan, I’d consider not watching football again this season. That’s how bad this loss was for the Nittany Lions.

Days after Illinois coach Bret Bielema threw his entire roster under the bus, the Illini have their first win on the road against a ranked team in 14 years (and I certainly won’t be the one to remind you, dear reader, of that game).

NEXT:  Penn State (5–2) at Ohio State (6–1); Illinois (3–5) vs. Rutgers (3–4)

#6 Michigan 33, Northwestern 7

  Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4  
   NORTHWESTERN 0 7 0 0 7
   #6 MICHIGAN 0 10 17 6 33

Playing for the newly minted George Jewett Trophy, named for a man who was smart enough to transfer from Michigan to Northwestern, a better academic institution, the No. 6 Wolverines shook off a slow start to dust the Wildcats, 33-7.

The Wolverines are 7–0 for the first time since 2016, and they got there by playing sound, if not elite football, again.

Blake Corum rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns, and his battery mate, Hassan Haskins, chipped in with 110 yards and two touchdowns as his own as they helped the nation’s No. 6 rushing offense to 294 yards on the ground.

Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara went 20 of 27, albeit for just 129 yards, but the Wolverine defense held Northwestern to 233 total yards – with the Wildcats picking up 75 of those yards on an Evan Hall run that went for six in the second quarter.

The Wolverines won their 15th in 17 tries against Northwestern and head into a huge matchup in East Lansing next weekend, with both Michigan and Michigan State ranked in the top 10 for the game for the first time since 1964.

Is this Michigan team somehow likable? Of course not:

NEXT:  Michigan (7–0) at Michigan State (7–0); Northwestern (3–4) vs. Minnesota (5–2)

Wisconsin 30, #25 Purdue 13

  Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4  
   WISCONSIN 7 6 7 10 30
   #25 PURDUE 0 13 0 0 13

Well, I hope you enjoyed your time as a ranked team for the first time in 14 years, Purdue.

One week after chugging beers on the field and knocking off unbeaten Iowa at Kinnick Stadium, the No. 25 Boilermakers were torched by Wisconsin, 30-13, at home.

This one was actually tied at 13 at the half, but five Purdue turnovers – three of them interceptions from the arm of quarterback Aidan O’Connell – spelled doom. Well, that, and the six Wisconsin sacks, and the -13 rushing yards Purdue turned in, and the fact that wide receiver David Bell, who torched Iowa last week, spent the majority of the game invisible, and, well, you get the point.

Wisconsin rushed for 290 yards, with Chez Mellusi chipping in 149 and a touchdown and Braelon Allen going for 140 and two touchdowns on 12 carries.

On the other side of the ball, can we give it up for linebacker Leo Chenal? Nine tackles, 5.5 of them for loss, and 3.5 sacks is a hell of an afternoon.

The Badger run game and defense were so strong that quarterback Graham Mertz finished 5 of 8 for 52 yards, and that was totally fine! It was the fourth straight game in which Mertz has completed ten or fewer passes, and somehow Wisconsin has won three of those games.

With the win, Wisconsin snapped an eight-game losing streak against ranked opponents and head to Iowa City next weekend, where they’ll get a chance for another such W.

NEXT:  Wisconsin (4–3) vs. Iowa (6–1); Purdue (4–3) at Nebraska (3–5)

Minnesota 34, Maryland 16

  Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4  
   MARYLAND 3 7 0 6 16
   MINNESOTA 3 14 14 3 34

Are you ready to say, “Big Ten West champion Minnesota?”

I know, it sounds weird as hell, especially if you remember that Week 4 Gopher home loss to 30-point underdog Bowling Green.

But here we are, after Minnesota’s 34-16 win over Maryland, and these Gophers are tied for the division lead with control over their own Big Ten destiny.

With freshmen running backs Ky Thomas and Mar’Keise Irving becoming the fourth and fifth Gopher running backs to top 100 yards in a game this season – Minnesota becomes just the second Big Ten team to have five backs do that in a campaign – P.J. Fleck’s team rolled to 326 rushing yards and a comfortable win over a suddenly reeling Maryland team.

Minnesota raced out to a 17-3 first-half lead and never looked back, holding Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa to 189 yards through the air to win their third Big Ten game in a row.

And just look at this remaining schedule: at Northwestern (10/30), Illinois (11/6), at suddenly mortal Iowa (11/13), at Indiana (11/20), and Wisconsin at home to end the season on Nov. 27. Do the Gophers really want to catch Ohio State’s hands again in Indianapolis? They might!

NEXT:  Minnesota (5–2) at Northwestern (3–4); Maryland (4–3) vs. Indiana (2–5)


With Ohio State rolling everyone in its path these days, they’re comfortable the top team in this week’s set of power rankings. I don’t see anyone on the Buckeyes’ remaining schedule being able to play within two touchdowns of this team.

Sure, I’m a homer, but I’m also a realist, and this Ohio State team is firing on all cylinders.

Michigan and Michigan State hold down the next two spots in the rankings and meet in East Lansing in six days. That should be a hell of a game and worth your early afternoon attention.

Iowa climbs back up to No. 4, with Minnesota, again the Minnesota who controls its own destiny, up to No. 5.

Penn State slides to six following that embarrassing loss to Illinois, while Wisconsin, Nebraska, Purdue, and Maryland round out the top 10.

I didn’t want to move Illinois out of the bottom of the rankings, but when you go to State College and rush for 350+, I have to give you a little bit of love, despite how bad the Illini have looked this season and how much I personally dislike the man coaching that team.
