MUMTAZ

Mumtaz originally of Iranian origin was born to Abdul Saleem Askari and Sardar Shadi Habib Agha in Bombay, India, on July 31, 1947. She entered Bollywood at the early age of twelve.
When asked which performances she is most proud of: "I was okay, nothing great at all. I liked Khilona that fetched me the Filmfare Best Actress Award. I also liked myself in Roop Tera Mastana, Aaina and Tere Mere Sapne. I should have won the Best Actress Award for Tere Mere Sapne. I really deserved it. Instead it went to Asha Parekh for Kati Patang in which she wore white and stood in front of piano doing precious little. Khair, jaane do (let it go). God has given me so much."

Mumtaz married millionaire Mayur Madhvani on May 29, 1974. They have two daughters Natasha and Tanya. Natasha, the elder daughter, married actor Fardeen Khan, son of Feroz Khan, in a lavish ceremony, in December 2005. In June 2008, she was honored for her "Achievement in Indian Cinema" by the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) in Bangkok.

She started in films by accepting some small roles in big films like Mujhe Jeene Do and big roles in small budgeted stunt films like Boxer, Samson, Tarzan, and King Kong. In the 1960s, she starred in as many as 16 action films with freestyle wrestler Dara Singh and was labelled as a stunt film heroine. She first gained attention in a supporting role as a vamp in the A grade color hit film Mere Sanam (1965). The memorable sexy song yeh hai reshmai was picturized on her. The success of the film led to another sizzling song "Aye dushman jaan" in another big-budget film Patthar Ke Sanam.

Finally, she gained major attention when she played one of Dilip Kumar's leading ladies in Ram Aur Shyam (1967). The film became one of the top hits of the year, and she received her first Filmfare nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Suddenly, Mumtaz was flooded with offers, but still not for major leading lady roles. She supported Sharmila Tagore in several films in the late 1960s, such as for Saawan Ki Ghata, Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi, and Mere Humdum Mere Dost. She had a memorable song and dance number ("Aaj kal tere mere") with her then-boyfriend Shammi Kapoor in the hit film Brahmachari (1968).

Mumtaz then at those times also accepted acting in sexy roles. Due to her great and killing looks she easily had several more hit films. She acted in over a hundred films in a career that spanned just 12 years. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for one of her favorite films Khilona in 1970, and she was "very happy that the audience accepted her in an emotional role." Mumtaz starred in many movies with Feroz Khan and her other popular pairing have been with great actors like Jeetendra and Rajesh Khanna. She has also acted with Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar and other top heroes of her era.

She quit acting after her appearance in Aaina (1977) which was a flop, even though it had co-starred Rajesh Khanna and was directed by famous director Kailasam Balachander. After that, she left films for marriage to a millionaire and only returned for one final film appearance 12 years later in the 1989 film Aandhiyan, which flopped and she turned down other film offers. In 1996 she received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.

Mumtaz had done a great collection of films in her career which are as follows:

In 1961 she had done in Stree. 1962 Wallah Kya Baat Hai. 1963 Sehra, Rustom Sohrab, Mujhe Jeene Do, Gehra Daag, Faulad, Ek Raaz. 1964 Veer Bhimsen, Samson, Rustom-E-Rome, Qawwali Ki Raat, Hercules, Baghi, Aandhi Aur Toofan. 1965 Tarzan Comes to Delhi, Tarzan and King Kong, Son of Hatimtai, Sikandar-e-Azam, Rustom-E-Hind, Raaka, Mere Sanam, Khandan, Kaajal, Jadui Angoothi, Hum Diwane, Do Dil, Boxer, Bedaag, Bahu Beti. 1966 Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi, Sawan Ki Ghata, Saaz Aur Awaaz, Rustom Kaun, Pyar Kiye Jaa, Pati Patni, Ladka Ladki, Jawan Mard, Daku Mangal Singh, Daadi Maa, Suraj. 1967 Woh Koi Aur Hoga, Ram Aur Shyam, Patthar Ke Sanam, Hamraaz, Do Dushman, CID 909, Chandan Ka Palna, Boond Jo Ban Gayi Moti, Baghdad Ki Raatein, Aag. 1968 Mere Hamdam Mere Dost, Jung Aur Aman, Jahan Mile Dharti Akash, Golden Eyes Secret Agent 077, Gauri, Brahmachari, Apna Ghar Apni Kahani. 1969Shart, Mera Yaar Mera Dushman, Mera Dost, Jigri Dost, Do Raaste, Bandhan, Apna Khoon Apna Dushman, Aadmi Aur Insaan. 1970 Sachaa Jhutha, Pardesi, Khilona , Humjoli, Himmat, Ek Nanhi Munni Ladki Thi, Bhai Bhai, Maa Aur Mamta. 1971 Mela,Ladki Pasand Hai, Kathputli, Jawan Mohabbat, Ek Naari Ek Brahmchari, Dushmun, Chaahat,Upaasna, Tere Mere Sapne, Hare Rama Hare Krishna. 1972 Tangewala, Shararat, Pyaar Diwana, Gomti Ke Kinare, Dharkan, Apradh, Apna Desh, Roop Tera Mastana. 1973 Pyaar Ka Rishta, Bandhe Haath, Lofar, Jheel Ke Us Paar. 1974 Chor Machaye Shor, Aap Ki Kasam, Roti.1975 Prem Kahani, Lafange, Aag Aur Toofan. 1976 Nagin. 1977 Aaina. 1989 Aandhiyan.

ASHA PAREKH

Asha Parekh was born on October 2, 1942 is a One of the most popular Bollywood actress from the past times. Presently she is a director and producer. She was one of the top stars in Hindi films from 1959 to 1973. She is supposed to be the star of more hit films than any other actress.

Being born in a middle-class Gujarati household Asha ji started her career as a child artiste under the screen name Baby Asha Parekh in the film Aasmaan (1952). Then Bimal Roy saw her dance at a stage function and cast her at the tender age of twelve in Baap Beti (1954). This film failure dissappointed her but did some more child roles. Rejected from Vijay Bhatt's Goonj Uthi Shehnai (1959), she was picked up by film producer Subodh Mukherjee and writer-director Nasir Hussain as the heroine in Dil Deke Dekho (1959) opposite Shammi Kapoor which made her a huge star. Then they cast her in more six films: Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai (1961), Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (1963), Teesri Manzil (1966), Baharon Ke Sapne (1967), Pyar Ka Mausam (1969), and Caravan (1971). She was only cosidered as a glamour girl/excellent dancer/tomboy until she had done some serious roles in Do Badan (1966), Chirag (1969), and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978).

When asked if she missed having a husband and children, her response was: "I don’t think so. There was a time when I did want to get married. I used to love children, I still love children, but now I feel that I am happy I am not married and don’t have kids, because I don’t think I would have been able to cope up with them."

She also had done various supporting roles like in Bhabhi, which she called as the "awkward phase" of her career. So she stopped acting in films. Then on the advice of her friends she opted for the television direction. She formed a production company Akruti and produced serials like Palash ke Phool, Baaje Payal, Kora Kagaz and a comedy Dal Mein Kaala. She was the president of the Cine Artistes' Association from 1994 to 2000. Asha was the first female chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification (Censor Board) of India. She held the post from 1998 to 2001 for which she received no salary but plenty of controversy for censoring films and for not giving clearance to Shekhar Kapur's Elizabeth. Later, she became the treasurer of the Cine and Television Artists Association (CINTAA) and also was later elected to be one of its officebearers.

Asha has remained unmarried:

Asha remained unmarried, claiming that her reputation of being unapproachable made people hesitate in asking her hand in marriage. There were rumors that she was romantically involved with her married director Nasir Hussain. In her later years, Asha said that she had a longtime boyfriend but declined to elaborate on the relationship, only stating that "it was nice while it lasted." She said she hadn't seen Nasir Hussain the last year of his life, as he became reclusive because of his wife's death, but she did speak to him on the phone the day before he died in 2002. A devastated Asha attended his funeral.

Today, she concentrates on her dance academy Kara Bhavan, which has produced many skilled dancers. The Asha Parekh Hospital in Santa Cruz, Mumbai is named after her because of her many contributions. Her considerable wealth provides for many of her social and charitable causes.

Asha Parekh has acted in over 50 films some of them to name are as follows:

Madhavan with Jet Li and John Abraham

Madhavan was one of the volunteers at the 'Habitat For Humanity' event held in Bangkok recently. He joined John Abraham and Pooja Bedi from India, and Jet Li from China, who were among 3,000 Habitat for Humanity volunteers who dedicated 166 homes in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Laos and Cambodia.

The houses were built or repaired as part of Habitat's annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project, where the former US president and first lady helped raise awareness about the need for affordable housing and built homes in partnership with low-income earners.

Jyothirmayi's answer is big NO !

Denying reports that she has decided to bid adieu to acting career, Jyothirmayi says she very much wants to be part of film industry and there is no questing of quitting movies.

"There is no truth in reports which claimed that I am planning to say good bye to acting. It is just a rumour. I love this profession and would like to make a mark before I quit," says the actress from Mollywood.

She adds: "It is true that I am not acting in any Tamil new film after 'Vedigundu Murugesan'. That is because I have not come across any interesting offer after that. Many offers are coming way. But I want to be part of an engrossing film which has enough importance to my character."

Saying that she is currently acting in two Malayalam movies besides a Kannada project, Jyothirmayi adds: "I am also getting ready for an abroad trip to take part in a couple of stage shows."

Hansika comes to Kollywood!

Dhanush’s Maappilai has started rolling in Chennai and all eyes are on its leading lady Hansika Motwani the new entrant to Kollywood, where there is a dearth of heroines.

She is just 18, and has already done 10 films so far in Hindi and Telugu and one Kannada film out of which 8 are super hits.

So is this striking new face going to give the current hot favourite Tamannaah stiff competition?

She has already snatched the youngest heroine tag from Tammu, but the cute looking Hansika says: “I’m competing with myself first, as my aim is to improve my performance in every film of mine. I’m not bothered about what others are doing and I want to excel in what I do”.

Interestingly, Hansika was to make her Kollywood debut in director Vishnuvardhan’s Sarwam, which did not happen. But now she is happy, as she considers Mappillai as a perfect launch film in which she plays heroine to Dhanush, one of the top heroes in Tamil cinema.

Adds Hansika who has the perfect balance of glamour and quintessential girl-next-door looks: “I am having a blast shooting with Dhanush, and Vivek in Chennai. I am open to do more Tamil films”.

So are Kollywood film makers listening?

Namitha –Some like it hot!

After the Jaganmohini debacle, Namitha is desperately in need of a hit to salvage her position as the oomph queen of south cinema.

She is banking heavily on her latest film Nil Gavani Ennai Kadhali, a dubbed version of her debut Malayalam film.

Namitha plays Laura a bar dancer in the Malayalam original titled Black Stallion opposite Kalabhavan Mani and Bala directed by Pramod and Pappan which is ready for release.

The buzz is that the buxom beauty has exposed like never before including hot bedroom scenes, a rain dance in a swimming pool and a song shot in a house boat in the picturistic backwaters of Kerala!

The film is also releasing simultaneously in Telugu as Iddaru Monagallu.

Asin Bollywood Journey

Not many girls have journeyed from Changanacherry, Kerala, to Bollywood, with a surname that can be a tongue-twister in Mumbai – Thottumkal. But Asin Thottumkal has made a stylish entry.The 23-year-old actor, however, is the least bit convinced. Ask her about her performance in ‘Ghajini’ and she says. “I am not satisfied. I feel like doing this film all over again and working on my flaws,” she says, over the phone from Mumbai where she is spending holidays with her family. That’s strange, considering she has done the Tamil version of it as well. There must be something that she likes. “Well, I couldn’t have asked for a better start,” she says. “And I certainly didn’t expect to receive a thumbs-up from a national audience.” She is, in fact, on a roll. After romancing Aamir Khan in her first Hindi film, Thottumkal is shooting with Salman Khan for ‘London Dreams’.She says since she has already worked with the director AR Murugadoss, and she was comfortable in Hindi, the Bollywood debut was not too daunting. “But Aamir was the cherry on the cake,” she giggles.She was just three when Aamir came out with ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’ and she has danced in her school pinafores to ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ songs, but his ‘Ghajini’ role has won her over. “It has been a long time since one saw Aamir in an action film,” she says, before lapsing into reminiscing about the on-sets fun. “The crew was entirely from the South, so it felt like home. However, Aamir had a tough time understanding the conversations on the sets so I would become his translator. He even picked up a few Tamil words by the end,” she says. Asin Thottumkal is planning for a long haul in Bollywood. Get the hang of that surname.

I can't wait to start our family: Shilpa Shetty

Barely two days after the wedding, and Shilpa Shetty-Kundra, that's how she wants to be known now feels she's on top of the world.

"I plan to get married only once! This has been the most exhausting week of my life. And also the happiest. I've waited so long for my wedding. Outwardly, the only thing that's different is the chudas (heavy gold bangles) and the way I'm dressed is different. Inside me, everything feels the same. I've known Raj for so long that it feels no different otherwise," says Shilpa. "I have a severe jaw ache from all the smiling that I did at the reception on Tuesday. Now I know why my colleagues avoid wedding receptions. It really does get impossible to manage the crowd."

Apparently, there were more gatecrashers at the reception than guests.

"At the wedding too, there were people climbing trees and walls to take photographs," Shilpa giggles. "But it was a far more intimate, private and controlled affair than the reception. My sister Shamita kept saying she felt she was part of Punjabi wedding sequence in a movie. The wedding was very traditional and simple. I felt I was going through a dream. My marriage was exactly the way I had imagined it," Shilpa adds.

The couple will now leave for their honeymoon followed by a Mediterranean cruise for the entire family. We're going to the Bahamas for our honeymoon. Then after we return, Raj is taking our entire family, all the Shettys and Kundras on a Mediterranean cruise for Christmas. He thought everyone needed break."

Regarding her plans of dividing her time between Mumbai and London, the actress reveals: "I have to get acquainted with Raj's circle of friends in London, get used to socialising with them. We'll have two homes now. In any case I was always travelling to and fro. Now I'll be doing this even more. I've my film-production company in Mumbai. So I can't be in London only."

Motherhood is also on the anvil. "I certainly want to be a mother. I can't wait to start our family."

I can't go around asking for roles: Neha Dhupia

Neha Dhupia has been around for more than six years now and has done films as diverse as Mithya and Julie. But she neither believes in boasting about her body of work nor is she keen to approach leading actors and filmmakers to rope her in for their films.

"This is the way I have been throughout my career. I am not the type who would go and tell everyone what I have done in the past," said Neha.

After having debuted opposite Ajay Devgn in Qayamat (2003), she has worked in close to 30 movies.

"What's the point in doing that when you have your work to speak for itself? This is not to say that I am less ambitious than anyone. I work as hard as anyone else. It's just that I can't serve myself on a platter," she said.

This is the reason why she is not complaining even if she is playing a supporting role in films like Singh Is Kinng and just released De Dhana Dan with Katrina Kaif as the leading lady opposite Akshay Kumar.

"There is a thin distinction between lead and supporting roles today. You may not be a romantic lead in a film, but then you have to see the kind of value you bring to a film.

"For example, when Vipul approached me for Singh Is Kinng, I asked him why he was giving me that role. When he told me that he could visualise only me to be doing that role, I took it as a backhanded compliment."

Same held true for De Dhana Dan where Priyadarshan felt that he could see a naughty opportunist girl in her. In the film, Neha plays a club singer who has a 'bindaas' attitude towards life and is a 'huge advantage taker'.

"I am happy that he felt so. My role is quite spunky in De Dhana Dan. There is a lot of spark in it.

"When it comes to commercial cinema, I have to thank people like Vipul, whose sensibilities I completely agree with, and Priyan Sir, with whom I have worked in Chup Chup Ke and Garam Masala earlier. They have always approached me whenever there is something good in the offing," Neha said.

However, she has the trio of Rajat Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla and Vinay Pathak to thank for the complete shift in mindset that she went through at a crucial phase of her career.

"These are the people responsible for opening up different avenues for me. By working in movies like Mithya, Raat Gayi Baat Gayi, I Am 24 and Pappu Can't Dance Saala, there is an altogether different dimension that I have been able to explore.

"I owe a lot to them," said Neha who is happy to be juggling between hardcore commercial mainstream movies and new age offbeat cinema.

NO LUCK SECOND TIME AROUND

China appears to be the new centre of the beauty pageant universe. A day after the conclusion of the Miss International pageant in Chengdu, the Miss Model of the World pageant ended in Shenzhen. The pageant was won by Miss France, with Miss Turkey in second and Miss Ukraine in third.

South Africa was represented by former Teen Miss World, Charlotte Smith. Back in 2006, she placed in the Top 10 at this pageant as a blonde. This time around, as a brunette, she failed to make the Top 10. No luck second time around.

AGEISM AND PAGEANTS

The latest topic of discussion is the upper age limit of contestants in beauty pageants. Whilst the Miss Universe pageant has always imposed a limit of 26, the Miss World pageant had a limit of 24 up until a few years ago. It appears that the limit is now also 26. Oddly enough, whilst the upper age limit of contestants has gone up, the average age of winners has gone down at both international pageants.

Times have changed and the ever growing modelling market has ensured that pretty young girls no longer need a beauty title to secure a career in that field. There are also a number of international model search competitions with girls as young as 14 walking off with the title. By the time they are past their modelling "sell by date" at the age of 21, they are ready for the pageant world.

Previously you went from pageant winner to supermodel (in many cases), but now it's the other way around. A number of pageant organisations are now securing the participation of their national supermodels (the photographic types, not the bland ramp numbers that have their hands super-glued to their hips) so as to improve their chances at international pageants.

A case in point regarding the "shelf-life" of a pageant contestant is my sentimental favourite, Venezuela, that appears to be heading for yet another non-placement at the Miss World pageant. 26-year-old Maria Milagros Veliz has failed to make an impact in any of the fast-track events. If anything, her failure goes to prove that the Miss World Organisation likes 'em young.

Whilst the Miss SA Organisation is constantly on the look-out for a more mature, independent title-holder that does not need constant supervision, they should take cognisance of the fact that a Miss SA that is one click away from the Violet Kuny, Grey Away and Salusa 45 brigade is not going to make an impact at an international pageant.

Lets be honest, a 26-year-old pageant winner is as bad as a 45-year-old rave queen (complete with "e", bottled water and balsam). Possible, but not desireable.

13 DOWN, 7 TO GO

After the Top Model fast-track event yesterday, at least 13 of the semi-finalist placements are all but guaranteed. In addition to the 5 fast-track winners, another 7 contestants have made the Top 12 in both the Beach Beauty and Top Model competitions.

Also, at the last two editions of the pageant, the Top 3 in the Top Model competition have made the semi-finals, so Martinique is added to the list. The list of semi-finalists should now include the following:

Barbados
Canada
France
Gibraltar
Japan
Jamaica
Martinique
Mexico
Panama
Scotland
Sierra Leone
South Africa
Vietnam

Kashmira shah doing an Item number inthe film Worldcupp 2011

Hot and sexy-siren Kashmira Shah will be soon seen in the film World cupp 2011, film debutant by Ravi Kapoor. She is dong an item number in this film. This film is based on a backdrop of cricket bookies and portrays the picture of Underworld. The film is Ravi Kapoor's debut in both acting and direction.


The director confirms the news of Kashmera’s item number in the film, which also has Zakir Hussain, Suresh Oberoi, Prem Chopra, Ehsan Khan and Manisha Chatterjee. Yes, Kashmera had been roped in for an item number and she looks like a true diva.” World Cupp 2011 is being produced by A. Gems Pvt. Ltd. and is slated to release on Dec 18.

IS THE CROWN SLIPPING AWAY?

Despite my earlier comments about an "acquired win" for Miss SA, Tatum Keshwar, at the Miss World 2009 finals next month, a token runner-up spot appears to be all that is on the cards. Although she has made the Top 12 in both the Beach Beauty and Top Model competitions at the pageant, she has not placed in either of these categories that are supposedly her "strengths".

It might just be "smoke and mirrors" to make any potential "win" (thereby securing a free pass to World Cup activities for the MWO) less conspicuous. Only time will tell.

SA UNPLACED AT MISS INTERNATIONAL

South Africa's Bokang Montjane failed in her bid to win the Miss International crown in Chengdu, China earlier today. She was also excluded from the Top 15 at the pageant featuring representatives from 64 countries around the world. Diane Webster remains South Africa's only semi-finalist (1965) in the 49 year history of the pageant.

The crown went to Miss Mexico, Ana-Gabriela Espinosa, who was also a semi-finalist at Miss World 2008. The runners-up were Miss Korea and Miss United Kingdom. Laksmi Rodriguez could not sustain the now-famous “Venezuelan Three-Year-Cycle” and win the pageant when she only made the Top 15.

Double impact - Nakul

The puppy fat has gone. And, six years after director S. Shankar's path-breaking musical Boys, Nakul has transformed into a lanky, fit youngster who still retains his bubbly charm.

For five years after Boys released in 2003, nothing happened in Nakul's life, “except a Telugu film, Keelu Gurram, which probably ran for two-and-a-half hours and sank without a trace.” What kept him going then was music. ‘Jayile Jayile' in Boys led to ‘Kadhal Yaanai' (Anniyan), ‘X-Machi' (Ghajini), ‘Karka Karka' and ‘Manjal Veyil' (Vettaiyadu Vilayaadu) and ‘Hooray Hooray Hip' (Vallavan).

“My film career didn't take off after Boys. The Telugu film didn't help. Singing was keeping me alive, but that wasn't what I wanted to do. Everyone used to ask me: look at your contemporaries — Bharath, Siddarth and Thaman Sai (music director). What have you done? That stirred something in me. I told myself that I must make it as an actor.”

And then, Kadhalil Vizhunthen came his way; with a catch, though! That he tone up. “The director told me: This is your chance…our chance…either we make it big or sink,” recalls Nakul, who hasn't looked back since that 2008 hit.

Soon after, he signed up for the well-received Masilamani and soon-to-be-released Kandhakottai (with Poorna as heroine).

Talking about his struggling days, Nakul, brother of actor Devyani says: “Even when I auditioned for Boys, I was among the 1,500, and was sure I would not land a role. But, I suppose I have been a bit lucky — a few good roles, some good songs, and now, Kandhakottai. I learnt a lot from director Shankar. He knows exactly what he wants. His methods are unconventional but the end result is like no one else's. I learnt that if you have to succeed, you have to have single-minded devotion.”

A shy person who is not given to excessive partying and socialising, Nakul is quite a home bird. “Only I know how much I miss home when I am away shooting. But, it is an occupational hazard.”

And, he's clear about making it in his chosen field. “I have decided to do one film at a time, and do justice to that role, rather than burn myself out. I want to be at the top, and on my terms,” says Nakul. He remembers the time when, after Boys and Keelu Gurram, many nondescript roles came his way. “Many of them were sleazy, and I am glad I stayed away. Today, when I listen to scripts, I tell my directors: ‘Please, for the sake of my career and the film, give me a bound script and don't make any major changes half-way through the film.”

Nakul considers himself a natural in front of the camera, whether it is dancing, running around trees or fighting. "I really didn't find it necessary to learn acting in an institute or go for horse riding and fencing classes. I learnt from director Shankar that if the director knows what he wants out of his actor, and if the actor has total confidence in the role and characterisation, he will deliver his best. All one has to do is follow instructions and observe the director when he enacts a scene.”

Now, that's what you call confidence!

Neelathaamara Review

The film scripted by M T Vasudevan Nair and directed by Lal Jose, is perhaps one of those movies which you will like for its inherent innocence and goodness more than its presentation or technical aspects. It's the remake of a film with the same title, made 30 years ago and in all fairness, the story has been made to look relevant and fresh.

The story happens in a sleepy but picturesque Valluvanadan village where the young, beautiful Kunjumalu (Archana Kavi) comes to an old tharavadu as a maid. Malukutty Amma (Sreedevi Unni) lives alone there as her son Haridas (Kailash) is a law student and stays in the city. Soon after, Haridas comes home and is instantly smitten by the ample charms of the new maid.

The poor girl believes that he is in love with her, but realizes her mistake, when he marries Rathnam (Samvrutha Sunil) sometime later. Now, the story is being narrated as a flashback and the characters have grown much older.
Though Neelathamara is focused on the life of Kunjimalu, it never delves deep enough into her mind and as a result, her anguish doesn't affect the viewer much as well. She falls prey to his flirtatious ways a bit too easily, but it is curious why his mother never realized about what was going on behind her back!

Certain characters like Sharathe Ammini (Rima Kallingal) and the old man sitting at the temple premises, for instance, seems half-baked at best. The film creates an ambience for sure and succeeds in taking the viewers to a different world, but it is generally done on a rather superficial level. The obvious feeling is to think about films like Nandanam that have narrated similar themes, but in a more effective way.

Debutante Archana Kavi has done a fine job, imparting the required innocence and charm to her character, which in fact is the soul of the story. Her resemblance to Parvathy, who has done her grown up version, looks nice on screen. Kailash too has done a decent job as the hypocritical youth, who conveniently forgets the young girl, after using her. The rest of the characters have limited roles to play, especially considering the impact they have in the story.

The highlight of the film could be the visuals by Vijay Ulakanath and to a certain extent, the music by Vidyasagar. Even in these days when mindsets and lifestyles have taken a complete change from the days when he first wrote the script, the inimitable M T Vasudevan Nair has succeeded in presenting the story in a refreshing tone. The film has its moments and Lal Jose presents it, in a beautiful way.

In the story, Neelathamara (blue lotus) blooms in a temple pond when a believer prays wholeheartedly to fulfill a wish. The film is definitely worth a watch and we sincerely wish such films happen more often in Malayalam.

Vikram turns producer

South Indian super star Vikram has launched his own banner to produce a Tamil film featuring newcomers. According to latest reports, Vikram has been nurturing the idea of turning producer for a long time and is expected to rope in sensational director Sasikumar of Subramaniapuram fame to direct the film.

In an exclusive interview with a leading newspaper, Vikram said, "I have floated my own banner and our first untitled venture will be directed by Sasikumar. The film will feature newcomers. The technical team will comprise cinematographer Kathir and music director James Vasanthan, who have worked with Sasikumar before. After watching Subramaniapuram, I wanted to do a film with Sasi. I read the script, set in Chennai, and found it fantastic. I’m sure it would turn out to be a signature Sasikumar film."

Asked whether he would do a cameo in this film, Vikram said: "I would love to make an Alfred Hitchcock type appearance, but it will be Sasi’s call." Vikram recently completed Mani Rathnam’s Raavan and a three-week Ladakh schedule for Selvaraghavan’s film.

PRETTY MAIDENS, ALL IN A ROW

I've just happened upon this photograph of the Miss SA 2009 finalists, and it only serves to confirm one thing: There are only two contestants that appeal to me in every photograph I see of them. One is my favourite for the title, Nicole Flint, and the other is Joanne Cronje.

Whilst I have yet to hear Joanne speak in public, Nicole is very eloquent and going places at Jacaranda FM where she works as a production assistant and part-time broadcaster on the Breakfast Show. Whilst it would never happen in a million years, I would not mind seeing these two contestants in the Top 2 come 13 December.

Shilpa Shetty with husband, Raj Kundra at their wedding reception at a hotel in Mumbai on November 24, 2009.

The mob at the doors of Hotel Grand Hyatt – Mumbai, was enough to judge, the grandeur of Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s reception. First of all, the reception totally washed away the complains that wedding is not at tended by Bollywood Stars. Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh and Aishwariya Bachan, Ameesha Patel, Hrithik Roshan and Suzzanne, it was a star studded night.

Shilpa Shetty was wearing a golden glamorous sari. The wrap of the sari was heavily sequined and embroidered. She was wearing a necklace with white and red colored stones and a matching set of ear rings and bangles. The bra was also heavily sequined and embroidered. Raj Kundra was wearing a black Sherwani and black trousers. Raj Kundra and Shilpa were all smiles and looked perfect love birds. Shamita Shetty was as sexy as ever wearing a revealing marine blue sari. Shilpa’s father was wearing a simple black suit and mother was wearing a pink colored sari.

Ameesha Patel received a lot of attention in her skimpy dress.

Shilpa’s career on silver screen started with the film Baazigar in which she appeared with Shah Rukh Khan. People especially wanted to see Khan in the ceremonies and he made the fans’ wishes come true. Looking bit old but graceful in black dress with his wife Gauri. In the start of her career Silpa Shetty was seen with Akshay Kumar and most recently she had to appear in court for getting kissed by Richard Gere.

AKSHAY KUMAR was not seen at the ceremonies for obvious reasons.
