fitoor<br />
A mere adoption of a popular script like<br />
‘Great Expectations’ and making it as a<br />
film, does not do it all. The popularity of that<br />
script even carries a lot of responsibility.<br />
In that lines, Fitoor could not do well. Most<br />
of the emotions in the film are the artistic<br />
kind of nature or to say far from the reality.<br />
That is the reason, one finds it tough to<br />
relate it personally and so tagged Fitoor as<br />
an intellectuals entertainer rather than a<br />
layman’s.<br />
However, Aditya Roy Kapur’s performance<br />
is the only hope for one to turn to the<br />
theaters and again Katrina Kaif is a let<br />
down, for her poorly narrated character.<br />

Neerja<br />
When Neerja was said to be a biopic based<br />
on the real life brave heart ‘Neerja Bhanot’,<br />
several felt Sonam would not suit for such<br />
realistic brave role.<br />
However, the makers still went forward<br />
believing in Masakkali girl and finally, their<br />
confidence was kept up by Sonam, giving<br />
a flawless performance. Being regarded as<br />
the top most movie of Sonam, the success<br />
and appreciations gave a good boost to the<br />
actress to plan several other women based<br />
biopics. If the same trend continues, even<br />
the heroes would have no other option to<br />
concentrate on some male biopics, as they<br />
would find hard to convince an actress to act<br />
beside them as the heroine.<br />

krishnashtami<br />
While the comedian turned hero is finding tough<br />
to concrete his position as a hero, Krishnashtami,<br />
being a product from Dil Raju factory, was out into<br />
the theaters with the huge expectations. Several<br />
thought that it would fetch Sunil good and makes<br />
him bounce back in his career, who is facing bad<br />
fortune for quite some time. But unfortunately,<br />
Josh fame Vasu Varma directorial again is a let<br />
down at the box office.<br />
Sunil’s macho looks and energetic performance<br />
were a breathing point of Krishnashtami.<br />
However, that alone could not save the movie<br />
from facing the bad fortune. Though the shooting<br />
of the film was completed long back, the makers<br />
had to wait for a right release date. Finally, with<br />
no big movies nearer to it, Krishnashtami took its<br />
release in February and that is making at least the<br />
buyers of the film get into the safe zone.<br />

prema gadha<br />
Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha might be<br />
the only film, that received a unanimous positive<br />
talk from all over the world after a long time in<br />
Tollywood. Right from the first show itself, along<br />
with the audience, all the reviews declared<br />
the movie to be a super hit. With this film, now<br />
the so called natural star even opened up his<br />
market in the mass areas. The film is doing well<br />
in the ‘C’ centres too, giving a hope to Nani, to<br />
do the mass films with the big makers from now<br />
on.<br />
The well planned screenplay, including healthy<br />
comedy and attractive narration skills, makes<br />
Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha, a sure<br />
watchable.<br />

Fitoor<br />
2.5/5<br />
The first half of<br />
Fitoor has been<br />
decent but not<br />
completely<br />
impressive. Though<br />
the audience get<br />
delighted with the<br />
visuals and poetic<br />
narration, the<br />
pace has been<br />
dead slow.<br />
Story :<br />
Fitoor has been inspired from<br />
Charles Dicken’s novel Great<br />
Expectations. The movie starts<br />
with Noor (Aditya Roy Kapoor) and<br />
Firdaus (Katrina Kaif) during their<br />
childhood days. They bond up with<br />
each other and as they grow up,<br />
their relation gets stronger and<br />
slowly they fall in love with each<br />
other. It is then Begum (Tabu)<br />
opposes their love because of her<br />
dark and painful past. She tries to<br />
get married Firdaus to a politician<br />
in Pakistan. The rest of the movie<br />
is about how Firdaus and Noor<br />
take their love forward<br />
Analysis :<br />
The first half of Fitoor has been<br />
decent but not completely<br />
impressive. Though the audience<br />
get delighted with the visuals and<br />
poetic narration, the pace has<br />
been dead slow. The songs have<br />
been shot well and they have<br />
been placed right. The pre interval<br />
episodes have been shot well and<br />
they bring up the interest but the<br />
complete first half has been just ok.<br />
The second half of the movie falls<br />
badly in every frame. The movie<br />
dips down and gets killed because<br />
of the narration. The plot has<br />
been sidelined completely and the<br />
director surprised the audience as<br />
he failed to bring out the needed<br />
elements in the movie. On the<br />
whole the complete second half is<br />
a debacle.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Fitoor has impressive<br />
performances and stupendous<br />
visuals but the movie fails to<br />
impress because of the slow pace<br />
and deviated narration.<br />

Neerja<br />
3.5/5<br />
The naturally<br />
narrated<br />
family<br />
drama has<br />
been lovely<br />
and slowly<br />
the focus<br />
moves<br />
towards the<br />
major plot.<br />
Story :<br />
Neerja Bhanot (Sonam Kapoor)<br />
aspires to become an air hostess<br />
or a model and she dreams big.<br />
With great support from her<br />
family, Neerja Bhanot becomes<br />
independent and well matured<br />
in thoughts. Finally she turns air<br />
hostess and it is her big day. The<br />
very first flight takes her to an<br />
unusual incident when a batch of<br />
terrorists hijacks the flight carrying<br />
300 passengers. Neerja struggles<br />
a lot to save the passengers and<br />
the rest of the film is how Neerja<br />
Bhanot saves their lives sacrificing<br />
her life forms the story of Neerja.<br />
Watch the film on silver screen to<br />
completely know about it.<br />
Analysis :<br />
The first half of Neerja has been<br />
well written and it takes some<br />
time to bring an impression on the<br />
characters. The naturally narrated<br />
family drama has been lovely and<br />
slowly the focus moves towards<br />
the major plot. The movie has been<br />
narrated with good pace and it<br />
never comes down throughout. The<br />
director made sure that he added<br />
enough commercial elements. On<br />
the whole the first half of Neerja<br />
has been completely impressive.<br />
The second half of Neerja too<br />
continued the same pace and the<br />
audience stick towards their seats<br />
waiting for the next interesting<br />
episode.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Neerja is a movie that should not<br />
be missed. A great narration with<br />
some stupendous performers on<br />
board makes Neerja a must watch.<br />

Krishna Gaadi<br />
Veera Prema<br />
Gaadha is a<br />
must watch film<br />
this weekend.<br />
Nani’s natural<br />
performance<br />
and the flawless<br />
direction make the<br />
film sit on the top.<br />
Story :<br />
Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema<br />
Gaadha is the story of Krishna<br />
(Nani) who opposes violence who<br />
is quite shy and stays under rated.<br />
He has a cute world and he loves<br />
Mahalakshmi (Mehrene) from his<br />
childhood. But Krishna keeps his<br />
love under the wraps because<br />
of her brother Rama Raju who is<br />
a goon in the town. Time comes<br />
when Krishna will be assigned a<br />
mission. This is the time David<br />
Bhai (Murali Sharma) enters the<br />
country and gets caught by ACP<br />
Ashwin (Sampath Raj). The rest of<br />
the movie is about the mission of<br />
Krishna and his relation with David<br />
Bhai and ACP.<br />
Analysis :<br />
The first half of the movie has<br />
been pleasant with lot of feel and<br />
loads of entertainment. Krishna<br />
Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha<br />
has a very cute untouched love<br />
story which gets connected to<br />
everyone. The character of Krishna<br />
and Mahalakshmi have been<br />
well written which are the major<br />
highlights. The songs have been<br />
placed well and the music has been<br />
melodious. With all the ingredients<br />
mixed well, the first half of Krishna<br />
Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha<br />
makes the audience completely<br />
satisfied.<br />
The second half of the film too<br />
carries the same pace with huge<br />
dose of emotional drama though<br />
the entertainment levels come<br />
down. The action episodes have<br />
been shot well and Nani delivered<br />
out his best for the movie.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema<br />
Gaadha is a must watch film<br />

A perfect and<br />
engaging<br />
thriller which is<br />
worth watching<br />
which will end<br />
up minting<br />
some good<br />
commercial<br />
figures too.<br />
Story :<br />
Kshanam is the story of a baby<br />
girl Riya who goes missing. Her<br />
mother Swetha (Adah Sharma)<br />
searches for the baby in all the<br />
available ways and before she<br />
loses hope she calls up Rishi<br />
(Adivi Sesh) who was once her<br />
boyfriend. Swetha seeks help<br />
of Rishi who flies back to India<br />
from to USA to find her missing<br />
daughter. In this process he<br />
comes to know about many<br />
unusual things about Swetha and<br />
her husband. He starts searching<br />
for Riya and slowly comes out<br />
with a clue after which he gets<br />
another. The rest of the movie is<br />
about finding Riya and if Swetha<br />
really has a daughter called Riya.<br />
Watch Kshanam to know about the<br />
complete story.<br />
Analysis :<br />
Kshanam is an unusual concept<br />
that has been written well, framed<br />
well and projected well with lot of<br />
interest. The audience will stick to<br />
their seats eagerly waiting for the<br />
next twirl that comes as they have<br />
lot to get surprised. The process<br />
of searching a baby girl has been<br />
narrated in an interesting way and<br />
the complete movie has been laced<br />
with loads of human emotions<br />
that touch you. A mother’s pain, a<br />
father’s restlessness and a guy’s<br />
struggle has been told in the best<br />
available way with Kshanam. The<br />
complete first half of Kshanam will<br />
leave you amazed throughout and<br />
the audience get habitual of the<br />
next twirl and they get prepared for<br />
the coming suspence.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Kshanam is sure a lesson for many<br />
mindless pot boilers that we have<br />

Miruthan<br />
2.75/5<br />
The pace in the<br />
second half gets<br />
a little slower,<br />
sometimes,<br />
making one<br />
wonder if there<br />
would be a<br />
respite at all<br />
from the ghastly<br />
happenings on<br />
screen.<br />
Story :<br />
Jayam Ravi plays a traffic cop<br />
in Ooty where he lives with his<br />
baby sister Vidya (Baby Anikha).<br />
Catastrophe arrives in the town<br />
in the form of a sudden outbreak<br />
of a virus attack that proves more<br />
dangerous than expected. What<br />
happens later on? Is there a<br />
way out? Is respite in the offing?<br />
Miruthan deals with all these<br />
answers. Watch the film to know<br />
about it completely.<br />
Analysis :<br />
the director spreading his premise<br />
neatly. There is the brother-sister<br />
sentiment that could work for<br />
emotion-seeking audience although<br />
it is a little difficult to digest a small<br />
girl mouthing age-inappropriate<br />
dialogues.<br />
The pace in the second half gets<br />
a little slower, sometimes, making<br />
one wonder if there would be<br />
a respite at all from the ghastly<br />
happenings on screen. There are<br />
also occasions when Miruthan<br />
takes on the form of hero-building<br />
exercises way too far and it<br />
appears to be a one man army<br />
battling against the hordes of<br />
affected populace.<br />
Final Word:<br />
Miruthan is sure a new experience<br />
for those who have never seen<br />
Hollywood zombie films. A decent<br />
work from Jayam Ravi and Shakthi<br />
Sounder Rajan.<br />

Why not?<br />

One needs to be very brave to attempt a<br />
concept like Aligarh, which is far from the<br />
commercial, comedy, action and any other<br />
regular form of entertainment, we got used to<br />
watch in the movies.<br />
Aligarh movie is based on the real<br />
life gay professor and author Dr.<br />
Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who<br />
loses his job, upon the charges of<br />
homosexuality and that leading to<br />
his suspicious death.<br />
As the concept itself is bold,<br />
though the trailer or the movie did<br />
not expose much of homosexual<br />
scenes, the censor board<br />
awarded ‘A’ certificate.<br />
Before the release itself, the<br />
movie has several appreciations,<br />
after it was premiered in the film<br />
festivals – Busan and London.<br />
But as the content of the film is<br />
bold, it is going to witness a ‘No’<br />
sign board in both TVs and also<br />
to children in theatres. But is the<br />
homosexuality, really that vulgar<br />
or something to be objectionable?<br />
Homosexuality<br />
influence on society<br />
With a history and culture, where<br />
gay love and poetry have been<br />
no less than legendary, ironically,<br />
homosexuality is taboo in this<br />
post colonial nation. It is rather a<br />
painful farce to hear conservative<br />
harangues against gay love in the<br />
media and elsewhere.<br />

As expected<br />
before, Aligarh<br />
movie could<br />
not tackle<br />
with the<br />
commercial<br />
thing, but<br />
is doing<br />
exceptionally<br />
well, with the<br />
limited number<br />
of audience.<br />

Introduced by British<br />
colonialism, Section 377 of<br />
the Indian Penal Code (IPC)<br />
criminalizes homosexuality<br />
in India. In the present days,<br />
it has become an article of<br />
faith for people of different<br />
religious moralities in India,<br />
in a strange show of colonialminded<br />
solidarity with<br />
backward masters.<br />
If political sovereignty really<br />
means the sovereignty of<br />
thought and existence, India<br />
should stand by its open<br />
culture, embracing all kinds<br />
of sexualities within its ways<br />
of life.<br />
Shrinivas<br />
Ramchandra Siras<br />
When, Prof. Shrinivas<br />
Ramchandra Siras was found<br />
dead in his residence on<br />
April 8, 2010, the case has<br />
created a huge controversy.<br />
After getting suspended by<br />
the university, Siras faced<br />
an enormous degree of<br />
intrusion, as his private life<br />
turned into a spectacle for<br />
public consumption.<br />
Manoj Bajpayee as<br />
Siras<br />
Six years after Siras<br />
death, now Manoj Bajpai<br />
playing his character and<br />
also speaking out clearly<br />
against criminalizing sexual<br />
preference, is heartening.<br />
Not to the surprise of many,<br />
Aligarh openings have<br />
started on a slow note in<br />
the beginning and as the<br />
mouth talk was found to be<br />
positive, people now started<br />
moving to the theaters. As<br />
expected before, Aligarh<br />
movie could not tackle with<br />
the commercial thing, but<br />
is doing exceptionally well,<br />
with the limited number of<br />
audience.<br />
On the other side, the film is<br />
receiving equal criticism from<br />
a few sections of audiences,<br />
saying that, is destroying<br />
and hurting the human<br />
sentiments.<br />
But whatever be the case,<br />
Aligarh is a thought provoking<br />
film, where at least at a point<br />
of second, while watching the<br />
film, it makes the audience,<br />
question themselves, why<br />
not?<br />

Exclusive Interview<br />
Aligarh will leave<br />
everyone Speechless<br />
Manoj Bajpayee<br />
Manoj Bajpayee is one of the finest actors we have<br />
in the country. His hunger for innovative roles never<br />
dies. His recent movie Aligarh released recently and is<br />
creating enough buzz all over. Here are the excerpts<br />
of his interview.<br />
AHow excited are you about<br />
Aligarh?<br />
I don’t do any film and every film. So<br />
I am excited about this movie, because<br />
every film becomes very important<br />
to me. And Aligarh is more important<br />
because I am playing a 64 year-oldman<br />
and somebody who's completely<br />
different from the world I have come<br />
from. The film says about the right to<br />
privacy, which is very close to my heart.<br />
Hansal Mehta and me are coming<br />
together after almost 17 years. The<br />
response the film has been getting is<br />
stupendous.<br />

Exclusive Interview<br />
What is the best<br />
compliment you<br />
received about the<br />
movie?<br />
I have been never nervous<br />
about my films but I only<br />
think if I can do justice to the<br />
role assigned. I have been<br />
heaped with compliments all<br />
over after the film’s release<br />
which made me relaxed.<br />
It means that I have done<br />
justice for the character.<br />
Did you feel any<br />
discomfort playing<br />
this role?<br />
No. I'm an actor and I'm not<br />
judgmental about the roles<br />
I play. I was excited by the<br />
journey of this old man and<br />
his fight for the justice. This<br />
character was a challenge<br />
for me and I was excited to<br />
take it up.<br />
What sort of<br />
research have you<br />
done for your role?<br />
You don’t have to go<br />
anywhere to do research any<br />
more. Everything is available<br />
on the internet. I did 15<br />
days of workshop in my own<br />
house. I spent 2-3 days in<br />
Bareilly. I got completely<br />
into Dr Siras’s skin. I was<br />
38
I'm an actor<br />
and I'm not<br />
judgmental<br />
about the roles<br />
I play. I was<br />
excited by the<br />
journey of this<br />
old man and<br />
his fight for the<br />
justice. This<br />
character was<br />
a challenge for<br />
me and I was<br />
excited to take<br />
it up.<br />
living his life. People are<br />
appreciating my role so<br />
I'm very happy. This film is<br />
creating lot of debate, which<br />
is fantastic. This film isn’t just<br />
a film, it has gone beyond<br />
that. It’s leading a movement.<br />
You have worked<br />
with Hansal Mehta<br />
before. What is your<br />
equation with him?<br />
Hansal and I have been<br />
friends for the last 22 years.<br />
We made Dil Pe Mat Le<br />
Yaar together but I knew<br />
him well even before that.<br />
I've done a television serial<br />
with him before. Even today,<br />
we meet 2 – 3 times a week<br />
even if we are not making<br />
a film together. In these<br />
years, Hansal has evolved<br />
tremendously as a director. I<br />
am so proud of his growth.<br />
How was the<br />
experience of<br />
working with<br />
Rajkummar Rao?<br />
I appreciate Rajkummar as<br />
an actor and as a human.<br />
I pray that he continues to<br />
work even better. He should<br />
get full justice and credit and<br />
continue to get work. He is a<br />
very good actor and a gem of<br />
a person.<br />
Which directors<br />
would you like to<br />
work with?<br />
I have worked with quite a<br />
few directors and know many<br />
more even though we’ve not<br />
worked together. Anurag<br />
Kashyap is my favourite. I<br />
love him, admire him and<br />
simply adore him. I’ve known<br />
Imtiaz Ali since many years.<br />
Vishal Bhardwaj is my good<br />
friend. I could not do Haider<br />
because I was busy with<br />
Tevar. I would like to work<br />
with him and Imtiaz.<br />
What are your<br />
upcoming projects?<br />
I have Saat Uchakke up<br />
for release. Missing which<br />
I have co-produced with<br />
Tabu is also coming soon.<br />
Traffic is also an amazing<br />
film. I wonder why it is getting<br />
delayed.<br />
Are you content<br />
with your life?<br />
Not content but happy with<br />
my life. All I want is to keep<br />
on working and get good<br />
assignments throughout my<br />
life.<br />

Shah Rukh Khan<br />
The shoot of Raees was stalled a few days back<br />
as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) members<br />

NEERJ
A<br />
Real thing Really<br />
When the film has something to deal with the real<br />
life incidents and real life people, unless the scenes<br />
are projected in a realistic way and the casting is<br />
perfect, one cannot get the feeling, they intended to<br />
get, after entering into the theatre.<br />
I<br />
In that line, Neerja<br />
completely scored<br />
full marks in<br />
delivering a right<br />
and realistic film.<br />
Based on Neerja<br />
Bhanot, a real life<br />
brave heart, who<br />
succeeded in saving her<br />
passengers from a hijacked<br />
flight, Neerja movie was<br />
made.<br />
That real thing is<br />
perfect<br />
Not just one or two, after<br />
watching the film, one can<br />
understand that there are<br />
several scenes, the makers<br />
took special care in bringing<br />
out the reality, and for that,<br />
they even did not mind to<br />
break the movie making<br />
trend and entered the danger<br />
zone too, with the intention<br />
of bringing the pure realistic<br />
feeling.<br />
Not super lady<br />
To list out a few, firstly though<br />
Neerja has got to do several<br />
brave things in the film, to<br />
prove that it is the situations<br />
that made her act brave,<br />
the makers made sure, that<br />
she does not appear as a<br />
super lady, who got some<br />
supernatural powers.<br />
Even the mind work, Sonam<br />
character played in the film to<br />
make her passengers go into<br />
the safe zone, is brilliant and<br />
lively.<br />
For the fear of losing certain<br />
section of audiences,<br />
generally the makers<br />
have the habit of mixing<br />
some spicy masala item in<br />
between, obstructing the flow<br />
of the script. But there are no<br />
such issues for Neerja film.<br />
Fortunately, not even a single<br />
45
46
Hope Neerja’s success<br />
would inspire the makers to<br />
concentrate on many other<br />
inspiring real life female<br />
oriented subjects.<br />
scene appears dramatic<br />
and that is the major plus of<br />
Neerja, to hold up the tag<br />
called a realistic entertainer.<br />
Climax steals the<br />
show<br />
To talk about the drawbacks,<br />
with the intention of making<br />
the emotional climax as the<br />
highlight of the film, one can<br />
feel that the makers rushed to<br />
the climax within no time.<br />
But the hopes, makers kept<br />
on the climax are fulfilled<br />
completely, as the audience<br />
are now accepting that, climax<br />
is the major highlight of the<br />
film, saying that, they are<br />
coming out of the theatre, with<br />
the weighted hearts and teary<br />
eyed.<br />
Why is it banned<br />
in Pakistan?<br />
atmosphere to Pakistanis. But<br />
after watching the film, one<br />
falls into dilemma, as to, what<br />
made Pakistan government<br />
ban the film, which has<br />
nothing to insult Pakistanis in<br />
any way.<br />
Society needs<br />
movies like Neerja<br />
Neerja is an absolute realistic<br />
entertainer, which features the<br />
bravery of a woman, who is<br />
committed to her profession<br />
and gets ready to do anything<br />
for it.<br />
The real life characters,<br />
especially inspiring ones and<br />
that too women, has got lot to<br />
do with present day situations<br />
in the society. Hope Neerja’s<br />
success would inspire the<br />
makers to concentrate on<br />
many other inspiring real life<br />
female oriented subjects.<br />
After knowing that the film got<br />
banned in Pakistan, several<br />
felt that the movie might<br />
possess some scenes, that<br />
creates an uncomfortable<br />

A Safe<br />
Game Now<br />
Aditya Roy Kapoor<br />
Be it Shah Rukh Khan through<br />
‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, Salman<br />
Khan through ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’ or<br />
any other, an impact few heroes<br />
create among the audience, would<br />
not be erasable throughout.<br />
In the recent years, such type<br />
of impact was created by<br />
Aditya Roy Kapoor, through<br />
his Aashiqui 2 movie. His<br />
chemistry with Shraddha<br />
Kapoor has absolutely killed<br />
the country, big time.<br />
Not on race<br />
Generally, an actor after<br />
creating such huge impact,<br />
securing huge blockbuster,<br />
would be on a race to accept<br />
all the offers, surrounding<br />
his gate. But making the<br />
audience feel that, he is not<br />
such an actor and giving a<br />
message that he is only<br />
bound to do quality films,<br />
came back with Daawat-e-<br />
Ishq.<br />
Churning out himself into<br />
a fine actor, he made up<br />
his mind to appear on the<br />
screen in a unique way, that<br />
is far away from Aashiqui<br />

TARRYEYED<br />
2. Fortunately, his intention<br />
was appreciated even by the<br />
audience, attending his Daawat in<br />
large numbers.<br />
Unwilling to stick to<br />
something<br />
After Daawat, Aditya again<br />
was in vigorous search for the<br />
right scripts. Even though many<br />
makers approached him with<br />
scripts, unwilling to do the films,<br />
in the similar genre like Aashiqui<br />
2 and Daawat-e-Ishq, Aditya<br />
rejected them.<br />
Finally, Aditya, who was<br />
impressed with novel ‘Great<br />
Expectations’, came forward to<br />
do a movie, which is based on<br />
the novel. The movie was out<br />
this month into the theaters. But<br />
unfortunately, it could not do well<br />
as his earlier films.<br />
Debacle disturbed<br />
The poor narration and predicting<br />
screenplay, made Fitoor a let<br />
down. But the analysts say even<br />
a debacle like this, would be<br />
helpful for Aditya, as he brought<br />
out his stupendous acting skills,<br />
even for the poor narrated script.<br />
However, Aditya, who is currently<br />
sounding low, due to the debacle<br />
like Fitoor, is planning to bounce<br />
back with a rocking hit again.<br />

Unwilling to<br />
take the risk<br />
committing<br />
to new<br />
projects,<br />
Aditya has<br />
decided<br />
to move<br />
forward with<br />
a proven<br />
project.<br />
Time to play safe<br />
game<br />
Unwilling to take the risk<br />
committing to new projects,<br />
Aditya has decided to move<br />
forward with a proven project.<br />
Aditya has signed the remake of<br />
a Tamil film called ‘Ok Kanmani’,<br />
which was directed by Mani<br />
Ratnam. Shaad Ali, who had<br />
an experience of remaking<br />
Maniratnam’s Sakhi in Bollywood<br />
as ‘Saathiya’, will take up ‘Ok<br />
Kanmani’ project too and direct it,<br />
titling it as ‘Ok Janu’.<br />
Struggling to repeat<br />
Aashiqui 2 magic<br />
To be on more safe side, Aditya<br />
opted Shraddha Kapoor as the<br />
female lead, with the intention<br />
of repeating Aashiqui 2 magic<br />
again.<br />
There are several instances,<br />
where South Indian entertainers,<br />
worked out well in Bollywood.<br />
Hope ‘Ok Janu’ falls under<br />
the same genre and reproves<br />
the magic of Aditya-Shraddha<br />
combination.<br />

Uncompromising<br />
Style<br />
Sonam Kapoor<br />
To keep up the tag of ‘one of the<br />
most fashionable celebrities’, Sonam<br />
Kapoor never got compromised<br />
with her style.<br />
Being the daughter of the<br />
senior actor Anil Kapoor, entry<br />
in Bollywood for Sonam was a<br />
cake walk. Kapoor got her debut<br />
Saawariya opposite Rishi Kapoor’s<br />
son Ranbir Kapoor in the male<br />
lead, which is again a debut for the<br />
latter too.<br />
Though that movie could not do<br />
well at the box office, it brought a<br />
fresh fragrance, sprinkling several<br />
boons to Kapoor.<br />
After a thought provoking movie<br />
like Delhi 6, she was again seen<br />
in ‘I hate Luv Stories’, making it<br />
as her first commercial success.<br />
Since then, Sonam continued to get<br />
several noted films and joined the<br />
group of the highest paid actresses<br />
of Bollywood.<br />
72

TARRYEYED<br />
Superstar of<br />

Along with nominating for<br />
the several popular awards<br />
like Filmfare, Sonam won<br />
“Stardust Superstar of<br />
Tomorrow” award. Adding to<br />
her credit, People’s <strong>magazine</strong>,<br />
named Sonam as the ‘Best<br />
Dressed Celebrity’ of 2009.<br />
Bang with the brands<br />
Apart from the films, Sonam is<br />
even associated with several<br />
corporate brands like L'Oreal<br />
Paris, Electrolux, Spice<br />
Mobile, Mont Blanc and Anant<br />
Diamond Jewellery (a sub<br />
brand of Gem and Jewellery<br />
Export Promotion Council).<br />
Neerja renewed<br />
Sonam<br />
After ‘Prem Ratan Dhan<br />
Payo’ opposite Salman Khan,<br />
Sonam’s role in her recent<br />
outing Neerja has become<br />
much talked about one now.<br />
She was offered a real life<br />
character named Neerja<br />
Bhanot, who was a flight<br />
attendant and saved the lives<br />
of passengers on the flight<br />
from the hijackers.<br />
Hinting that the movie will<br />
completely revolve around<br />
the flight attendant, even the<br />
74
"<br />
Sonam earlier<br />
worked as<br />
an assistant<br />
director for<br />
Sanjay Leela<br />
Bhansali’s<br />
Black and it<br />
was then, she<br />
came to the<br />
screen through<br />
Saawariya.<br />
"<br />
movie is titled as ‘Neerja’.<br />
Needless to say Sonam<br />
played the lead character<br />
and she perfectly took on the<br />
responsibility, carrying the<br />
entire film on her shoulders.<br />
After watching the premiere<br />
in Mumbai, several biggies of<br />
Bollywood said that, Sonam’s<br />
performance in Neerja would<br />
be an inspiring masterpiece,<br />
which will make India proud.<br />
Aspiration to hold<br />
megaphone<br />
Sonam, who was thrilled<br />
with the response from the<br />
biggies, expressed her wish<br />
to direct the stories of many<br />
other strong women.<br />
“I will certainly become a<br />
director as I think there are<br />
more women required in<br />
that field. I think, in the next<br />
couple of years, I will direct<br />
a film that will talk about<br />
incredible stories about strong<br />
women,” Sonam recently<br />
said.<br />
It is to be noted that, Sonam<br />
earlier worked as an assistant<br />
director for Sanjay Leela<br />
Bhansali’s Black and it was<br />
then, she came to the screen<br />
through Saawariya.<br />
With that experience, she is<br />
now aiming to direct femalecentric<br />
films. Moreover<br />
boosted with the success of<br />
Neerja, Sonam is currently<br />
inquiring about the lady<br />
oriented biopics.<br />
Hope the young aspiring lady,<br />
will soon direct a film and thus<br />
make a difference from her<br />
fellow actresses.<br />

called ‘Kat’ did not take much<br />
time to speed up her career<br />
in Bollywood, after scoring a<br />
huge blockbuster like Sarkar.<br />
Expensive to South<br />
Indian makers<br />
After doing one or two films in<br />
Telugu and Malayalam, Kat<br />
concentrated on Bollywood<br />
steadily and in a short time,<br />
became expensive actresses<br />
by the south Indian makers.<br />
Not to the surprise of many,<br />
Kat started her career as a<br />
model, that too in her teens<br />
and succeeded in falling in the<br />
eyes of the filmmaker Kaizad<br />
Gustad, who was immensely<br />
impressed with Kat’s beauty<br />
and offered her a role in his<br />
film ‘Boom’.<br />
Building up her career with<br />
many notable entertainers like<br />
Welcome, Namastey London,<br />
Partner, Singh is King, Ajab<br />
Prem Ki Gazab Kahani etc,<br />
Kat emerged as a huge star of<br />
Bollywood.<br />
Not just for old-age<br />
At a point of time, where she<br />
is only being offered movies<br />
opposite old age stars like<br />
Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol,<br />
After doing<br />
one or two<br />
films in<br />
Telugu and<br />
Malayalam, Kat<br />
concentrated<br />
on Bollywood<br />
steadily and<br />
in a short<br />
time, became<br />
expensive<br />
actresses by<br />
the south<br />
Indian makers.<br />
Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan,<br />
several felt that she would<br />
only suit to the senior stars<br />
because of her height and<br />
personality.<br />
But it did not take much<br />
time for Kat to slash all<br />
those speculations with the<br />
blockbuster like ‘Azab Prem<br />

the makers vision to choose<br />
Katrina opposite young<br />
heroes, it even helped to<br />
develop a bond with Ranbir,<br />
which took on for several<br />
years, giving an ample<br />
amount of news for the<br />
enthusiastic writers. After<br />
the years of love bond, the<br />
couple recently broke up,<br />
disappointing all their fans.<br />
Had to surrender to<br />
Salman<br />
However, Ranbir was into<br />
Katrina’s heart, only after<br />
Salman was out of it. While<br />
Katrina is struggling to build<br />
up her career, it was Sallu<br />
Bhai, who is always the first<br />
one to extend his support to<br />
hot beauties, supported Kat,<br />
by giving back to back offers<br />
as the female lead in his films<br />
like Partner, Hello, Yuvrajj etc.<br />
Needless to say, one cannot<br />
expect from others, to extend<br />
their hands for you, while you<br />
are folding the hands. Even<br />
the intelligent Katrina knows<br />
this logic and offered his<br />
heart for a few years to the<br />
handsome hunk of Bollywood.<br />
Not a professional<br />
break up<br />
However, new entrants found<br />
the need of Salman’s back<br />
up and obviously, with no<br />
option left, Salman had to<br />
put a comma to Katrina. This<br />
comma turned into a full stop<br />
after Ranbir entered Kat’s life<br />
and unfortunately, even this<br />
young guy, could not tackle<br />
the long leg lady.<br />
But that did not stop her sign<br />
the Bollywood offers opposite<br />
Salman or Ranbir. After her<br />
last outing Fitoor, she still has<br />
two releases this year – Jagga<br />
Jasoos opposite Ranbir and<br />

Stuck<br />
to Sensible<br />
Nani<br />
It seems, direction is just being used as an entry<br />
pass to enter into the film industry and the fact is,<br />
most of them joins cinema, with the intention of<br />
turning out as a hero.<br />
Several young heroes like<br />
Siddharth, Sandeep Kishan, Ravi<br />
Teja etc, tried to pose as the<br />
directors and made their entry<br />
saying that, they would restrict to<br />
off screen.<br />
But over the period, the luck<br />
turned favorable to them and<br />
turned as the heroes. Adding to<br />
that list, Nani is another young<br />
hero, who attained a good fame,<br />
with his notable acting in all his<br />
decent films.<br />
Second lead to the<br />
super lead<br />
Director Mohan Krishna Indraganti<br />
first considered Srinivas<br />
Avasaraala in the main lead and<br />
101

Bhargavi in the female lead<br />
for Ashta Chemma movie.<br />
But later, after getting into<br />
the script deeply, he thought<br />
Nani would be more suitable<br />
to the role he wrote, and so<br />
opted him into the lead and<br />
put Srinivas Avasaraala in<br />
the second lead role.<br />
Fortunately, Ashta Chemma<br />
worked out well for Nani and<br />
from then, the pretending<br />
assistant director, started<br />
eyeing on the hero roles and<br />
to his luck, he is blessed with<br />
several good entertainers.<br />
If a young<br />
hero has<br />
huge star<br />
background,<br />
there is no<br />
much risk<br />
in opting<br />
experiments,<br />
even in his<br />
early career<br />
102<br />
Experiments<br />
from the<br />
beginning<br />
Not limiting himself to a<br />
particular genre, Nani tried<br />
to experiment on a wide<br />
variety of roles in the movies<br />
like Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu,<br />
Janda Pai Kapiraju, Yevade<br />
Subramanyam etc.<br />
If a young hero has huge<br />
star background, there<br />
is no much risk in opting<br />
experiments, even in his<br />
early career. But Nani, who<br />
has no such background,<br />
never took a back step in<br />
doing experimental films.<br />
However, most of his<br />
experimental films gave him<br />
a negative result at the box<br />
office, but there is no doubt<br />
in saying that, those kind of<br />
films, enhanced his stamina<br />
as an actor and made him,<br />
what he is today.<br />
Hyped the humor<br />
Nani was mainly identified<br />
well for his humor sense. Most<br />
of his comedy entertainers<br />
like Pilla Zamindar, Ala<br />
Modalaindi and even the<br />
recent Bale Bale Magadivoy<br />
movie, scored huge<br />
successes at the box office<br />
and even brought him<br />
craze among the fun loving<br />
audience.<br />
KVPG gave the<br />
kick he is waiting<br />
Continuing the fun legacy,<br />
his recent movie ‘Krishna<br />
Gaadi Veera Prema<br />
Gadha’ is again doing well<br />
at the box office. More<br />
than the movie, it is Nani’s<br />
adaptability to Krishna’s<br />
character and his lively<br />
performance, is making one<br />
stick to the seats.
Nani could perfectly bring in,<br />
his emotions of a ‘C’ class guy,<br />
through Krishna’s character.<br />
Be it comedy, aggressive or<br />
any genre, he excelled, giving<br />
a stupendous performance this<br />
time.<br />
Hope the simple star,<br />
who believes in doing<br />
sensible roles, giving clean<br />
entertainment, progresses in<br />
his career more, in the coming<br />
days.<br />

ELEBRITY<br />
OF THE MONTH<br />
Born in Belwa, a small<br />
village in Narkatiaganj, Bihar,<br />
Bajpayee aspired to become<br />
an actor since childhood. He<br />
relocated to Delhi at the age<br />
of seventeen, and applied for<br />
National School of Drama,<br />
only to be rejected for three<br />
times. He continued to do<br />
theatre while studying in the<br />
college.<br />
Bajpayee made his feature<br />
film debut with the one-minute<br />
role in Drohkaal (1994), and<br />
a minor role of a dacoit in<br />

Shekhar Kapur's Bandit<br />
Queen (1994). After few<br />
unnoticed roles, he played<br />
gangster Bhiku Mhatre in<br />
Ram Gopal Varma's 1998<br />
crime drama Satya, which<br />
proved to be a breakthrough.<br />
Bajpayee received the<br />
National Film Award for Best<br />
Supporting Actor and Filmfare<br />
Critics Award for Best Actor<br />
for the film. He then acted in<br />
films like Kaun (1999), and<br />
Shool (1999). For the latter,<br />
he won another Filmfare<br />

wives in Zubeidaa (2001),<br />

Bajpayee won the Special<br />

a series of brief, unnoticed<br />
roles in films that failed to<br />

about the disparity in the pay he<br />
commands, in comparison to the<br />
top actors in the film industry.<br />
He has cited Amitabh Bachchan,<br />
Naseeruddin Shah and Raghubir<br />

He is getting ready with his next<br />

were of a naxalite in Chakravyuh<br />

ELEBRITY<br />
OF THE MONTH<br />
Tabu<br />
Irreplaceable<br />
An actress who attained<br />
good success in one<br />
language movie, might<br />
not be able to do the<br />
same in other languages,<br />
because of the difference<br />
in the other language<br />
audiences taste.<br />
112
113
ELEBRITY<br />
OF THE MONTH<br />
But the stars like Sri Devi<br />
crossed those boundaries and<br />
secured a star status in all the<br />
languages she acted. Another<br />
such actress is the long leg<br />
lady, ‘Tabu’, who even went<br />
to Hollywood, starting with the<br />
Indian films.<br />
Among the very few actresses<br />
of the country, who rose to<br />
fame, in all the languages they<br />
acted, Tabu is one.<br />
Characters over<br />
commercials<br />
If one can observe Tabu’s<br />
film career, they can identify<br />
that, Tabu only fell back of the<br />
characters, where she can<br />
bring out her acting capabilities,<br />
rather than limiting to the<br />
glamor doll or commercial stuff<br />
roles.<br />
Movies like ‘Maachis’, ‘Virasat’,<br />
‘Hu Tu Tu’, ‘Chandni Bar’,<br />
‘Cheeni Kum’ etc, extracted the<br />
acting potentiality in her, to the<br />
best.<br />
Along with Bollywood and<br />
Hollywood, she played some<br />
noted roles in several Telugu,<br />
Tamil, Malayalam and Bengali<br />
films.<br />
Height, a curse?<br />
The sex appeal of Tabu is<br />
her height. That made her<br />
the perfect choice for several<br />
114
Tabu again gave her<br />
identical performance,<br />
making one note again<br />
and again, that none<br />
can replace her in the<br />
film.<br />
senior star heroes and<br />
unfortunately that height even<br />
turned as a curse, as she was<br />
avoided in the young heroes<br />
films, who could not match her<br />
height.<br />
But that did not stop her<br />
to zoom in her career with<br />
some quality entertainers in<br />
Bollywood.<br />
Apart from Indian films, she is<br />
critically appreciated for her<br />
notable roles in international<br />
films like ‘The Namesake’ and<br />
a supporting<br />
role in Ang Lee’s<br />
highly successful<br />
adventure film<br />
‘Life of Pi’.<br />
Mother’s child<br />
Willing only to be<br />
identified as the<br />
mother’s child<br />
after her parents<br />
got divorced at<br />
her early age, Tabu said, “I<br />
have never seen my father. I<br />
don’t think I would like to meet<br />
him. For me it is my mother<br />
who is my father”.<br />
She did her schooling in<br />
St. Anns High school in<br />
Hyderabad and later moved to<br />
Mumbai in 1983 and studied<br />
at St. Xavier’s college for two<br />
years.<br />
Started in<br />
Tollywood<br />
After doing few roles as a child<br />
artist, her first film as a full<br />
fledged heroine is Coolie No.1<br />
in Telugu, opposite Venkatesh.<br />
She later went to Bollywood<br />
and started her career with<br />
two flops and then got to<br />
prominence with her glamor<br />
role in Vijaypath movie. Not<br />
just fame, she even secured<br />
the prestigious Filmfare award<br />
in the best female debut<br />
category.<br />
Fame in<br />
Bollywood<br />
Since then, she has not had<br />
to look back on her career<br />
and packed all the bags to<br />
Mumbai, after she got busy<br />
with the back to back films in<br />
Bollywood.<br />
Tabu was last seen in a special<br />
role in the film ‘Drishyam’ and<br />
now even Fitoor was out into<br />
the theatres. Regardless of the<br />
result of the film, it is Tabu’s<br />
character, which gains good<br />
marks.<br />
Following her versatility path,<br />
she again gave her identical<br />
performance, making one note<br />
again and again, that none can<br />
replace her in the film.<br />
Hope the terrifying Tabu<br />
continues to choose the quality<br />
roles like these and spread her<br />
acting wings further.<br />

LEGEND OF<br />
THE<br />
MONTH<br />
The action<br />
Definer<br />
Sunny Deol<br />
The legacy of a legend will no doubt have a grand start,<br />
but the further journey cannot be put on the identity of<br />
the legend, but should strictly be carried on one’s own<br />
shoulders. That is what Ajay Singh Deol aka Sunny Deol did,<br />
being the son of a legendary actor Dharmendra.<br />
116<br />
Betaab being the debut film<br />
of the actor, no doubt got the<br />
biggie behind, but it was his<br />
acting potentialities in the film,<br />
that brought him the Filmfare<br />
award nomination for the<br />
debut film itself.<br />
King of action<br />
sequences<br />
When there comes the<br />
discussion of the action<br />
sequences of Bollywood, it<br />
would not complete without the<br />
discussion of Sunny Deol. That<br />
is the impact, he created in the<br />
action genre.<br />
Though most of his movies<br />
in the beginning of his career
117
LEGEND OF<br />
THE<br />
MONTH<br />
were doing well, somewhere<br />
Sunny was unhappy, as<br />
he was unable to mark his<br />
identity in those. This even<br />
worried Dharmendra and<br />
finally, after their years of<br />
wandering for a right film,<br />
Ghayal came forward.<br />
Ghayal- A huge<br />
turning point<br />
Dharmendra who thought that<br />
Ghayal would be the right<br />
film to take Sunny, the next<br />
level, produced it under his<br />
own banner. As expected, the<br />
film went on to be the major<br />
milestone in Sunny Deol’s<br />
career, earning him a huge<br />
craze among the masses.<br />
Not just being a huge<br />
blockbuster, Ghayal even<br />
brought the first Filmfare<br />
award and first national award<br />
to Sunny Deol, tagging him<br />
in the best hero category.<br />
That movie concreted his<br />
position as the action hero<br />
in Bollywood and from there,<br />
Sunny did not had to look<br />
back in his career. He moved<br />
on and on with a quality<br />
number of hits.<br />
Did not mind to do<br />
supporting roles<br />
Even after attaining popularity<br />
as an action hero through<br />
Ghayal, Sunny did not mind<br />
to accept supporting roles.<br />
That attitude made him the<br />
best supporting actor in<br />
Damini (1993).<br />
Ghatak (1996), Ziddi (1997),<br />
Border (1997) are the other<br />
noted films of Sunny in those<br />
times, which showed the<br />
118
Hope the action definer, continues to reach<br />
several milestones in his career and thus prove<br />
that age is never an obstacle to target new<br />
heights.<br />
huge influence among the<br />
Bollywood audience.<br />
Direction<br />
Following the footsteps of<br />
his father Dharmendra, even<br />
Sunny wished to explore<br />
other crafts of cinema. That<br />
zeal made him direct Dillagi<br />
(1999). He even acted in<br />
that film, along with his<br />
younger brother, Bobby Deol.<br />
Unfortunately, that film could<br />
not do well at the box office.<br />
Multi-starrer<br />
One cannot forget that easily,<br />
the impact Darr (1993)<br />
created. It was Sunny’s first<br />
collaboration with the king<br />
khan, Shah Rukh Khan. The<br />
multi-starrer film revealed the<br />
romantic angle in Sunny.<br />
Success with family<br />
films – Apne and two films in<br />
Yamla Pagla Deewana series,<br />
and proved that success is<br />
inevitable, if legendary family<br />
appears on the screen, at a<br />
time.<br />
Ghayal 2<br />
Finally, to remind the magic<br />
of his milestone film Ghayal,<br />
Sunny took megaphone into<br />
his hands again and released<br />
the sequel of Ghayal.<br />
Unfortunately the movie could<br />
not do well. But it is to be<br />
remembered that only movie<br />
was flop, but Sunny as an<br />
actor, managed to bring that<br />
fierce in Ghayal, even at this<br />
age.<br />
Hope the action definer,<br />
continues to reach several<br />
milestones in his career and<br />
thus prove that age is never<br />
an obstacle to target new<br />
heights.<br />
He even acted along with his<br />
legendary father Dharmendra<br />
and also his brother in three<br />

Katrina Kaif in equally meaty<br />
roles, we bring to you a list of<br />

ARIES<br />
Sun enters in Aries on the 21rst of March and Mercury also on the 23rd, expect your<br />
level of energy to jump high after these dates. The beginning of the month is confusing<br />
in your relationship with a group of friends, it looks like there are some gossips or embarrassing<br />
secrets and you are in the middle. Aries have a tendency to speak out too fast or too loud, be<br />
careful, stay discreet and keep confidences to yourself.<br />
GEMINI<br />
Career is priority in March, you will<br />
be highly focused on your future.<br />
Promotion or change of company,<br />
you are obsessed by the desire of<br />
progressing. The opportunities are finally<br />
happening and you are open to anything<br />
that can make you happier at work. You<br />
are ready to work hard, you have no<br />
problem with that, you want something that<br />
is interesting and exciting, with incentives<br />
also, recognition and money.<br />
CANCER<br />
Use your creativity and imagination<br />
at work, you will find solutions<br />
to problems that are becoming<br />
obsessive. You have to make extra efforts to<br />
be part of your team or interact with people<br />
inside your company, it will work, so it is<br />
worth being engaging. Little by little you will<br />
be closer and know some of your coworkers<br />
better. You spend more time with a sibling<br />
or a cousin talking about childhood, good<br />
memories<br />
TAURUS<br />
Friendship is going to keep<br />
you busy this month of March,<br />
birthdays, engagement<br />
parties, newborn babies to celebrate,<br />
housewarming, any opportunities to<br />
celebrate anything that is an important<br />
moment to share with your friends. You<br />
are ready to organize the events and it<br />
is a pleasure to do so. At work, some<br />
reorganization are being prepared, don’t<br />
stress<br />
154<br />
LEO<br />
March is a month of great<br />
transformation in your life. Single, a<br />
relationship starts to become more<br />
important than you thought at the beginning,<br />
love is in the air for you Leos. You feel more<br />
alert, happy and energetic than ever. If you<br />
are in a couple, you get a great chemistry<br />
between the 2 of you, as good as the first<br />
days. Mars and Saturn are in your love<br />
sector and it gives passion and depth
VIRGO<br />
Jupiter is excellent for you in March. Virgo, you are all about love and long lasting<br />
relationship. A new story may be turning into long lasting one, take it step by step<br />
but the more you find common ground, the happier you get. For once you let optimism win in<br />
your heart. Doubts may come later, but not now. You enjoy your life, one day at a time. And<br />
if you put a little weight on, it does not matter as you are feeling so good in your body.<br />
SCORPIO<br />
Such a romantic month for you<br />
Scorpios. Single may meet<br />
somebody unexpectedly and it<br />
creates such a strong attraction that you are<br />
obsessed, you may spend too much money<br />
on clothes, perfumes, creams and everything<br />
that makes you look your best. In a couple,<br />
you just think about vacation together, sea,<br />
sex and sun. At work, you are not the most<br />
motivated person<br />
AQUARIUS<br />
The planetary power is getting ready<br />
to shift from the East to the West<br />
this month, but in the meantime the<br />
planets are mostly in the East – but not an<br />
overwhelming percentage. Personal initiative<br />
and independence still matter and can still<br />
lead to success. Some 90 per cent of the<br />
planets are in forward motion most of the<br />
month<br />
SAGITTARIUS<br />
You are very close to your family<br />
in March, you visit the ones who<br />
don’t live in the same town as you,<br />
you call to get news, and you organize<br />
dinners with as many relatives as you can.<br />
Sharing important moments, making photos<br />
of you and your parents or grandparents,<br />
eating together, it means a lot to you. Love<br />
is important also and Mars and Saturn in<br />
Sagittarius bring intensity<br />
CAPRICORN<br />
You feel like learning something<br />
new this month. You will jump at<br />
any opportunity of getting a training.<br />
If it is paid by your company, it is better of<br />
course, but if not, you will still find a good<br />
deal. Your mind is open. You overcome also<br />
some childhood complex and that leads you<br />
to take some risks. Family relationships will<br />
be tense and you may oppose<br />
LIBRA<br />
Work, work, work, this is your<br />
life until March 20th. It piles up<br />
endlessly, you feel overwhelmed but<br />
you don’t complain, you try doing your best.<br />
Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance, no need<br />
to play the card of doing it all by yourself. You<br />
are not going to look better by doing so. By<br />
the end of the month, love is getting priority<br />
again. Your sweetie will appreciate to be<br />
number one again.<br />
PISCES<br />
Venus, Mercury, Sun, south node<br />
and Neptune are in Pisces almost<br />
the whole month, you are in an<br />
important month, and lots of events will<br />
happen, many choices will be offered in love<br />
and work. It can be confusing as the month<br />
will be very active in many directions at the<br />
same time. Like meeting somebody new for<br />
love the same day as a new job is offered.<br />
Accept the intensity of the rhythm. Take<br />
some vitamins if necessary.<br />
