Bioscope<br />

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 />

3.75/5<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 />

this weekend. Nani’s natural<br />

performance and the flawless<br />

direction make the film sit on the<br />

Kshanam<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 />

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 />

painful farce to hear conservative<br />

harangues against gay love in the<br />

pecial StOry<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 />

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 />

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor starrer<br />

R Balki’s film Ki & Ka trailer is out! The movie<br />

has been talked about for long now coz of the<br />

unusual casting and a very hatke story line. The<br />

curiosity around this Kareena-Arjun film only<br />

went up once the posters were released.t<br />

Katrina Kaif<br />

Recently, she gave an interview to a leading<br />

herself on her 60th birthday she said, “Happy<br />

beautiful children… also grandchildren maybe.<br />

Gosh! That’s ambitious, I’d better hurry up!”.<br />

Shah Rukh Khan<br />

The shoot of Raees was stalled a few days back<br />

as the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) members<br />

protested against Shah Rukh Khan shooting<br />

in Ahemdabad. Though things seemed to get<br />

better, it got very ugly yesterday when the VHP<br />

supporters attacked SRK’s car in Ahemdabad.<br />

vivacious, while he has become quieter, more<br />

intense and serious, but one can see the sheer<br />

chemistry sizzling, sparking romance and quiet<br />

humour between the two.

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 />

was appreciated even by the<br />

audience, attending his Daawat in<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 />

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 />

TARRYEYED<br />

Superstar of<br />

tomorrow<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 />

several felt that she would<br />

only suit to the senior stars<br />

because of her height and<br />

those speculations with the<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 />

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 />

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 />

The Most<br />

Comfortable Actor<br />

who can transform himelf.<br />

Manoj Bajpayee<br />

Manoj Bajpayee is one of the most talented actors<br />

that Indian film industry has. The actor predominantly<br />

works in Hindi cinema and has also done some<br />

Telugu and Tamil language films. He is the recipient of<br />

two National Film Awards and two Filmfare Awards.<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 />

110<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 />

Critics Award for Best Actor.<br />

Bajpayee further played<br />

the role of a prince with two<br />

wives in Zubeidaa (2001),<br />

a serial killer in Aks (2001)<br />

and a hitchhiker-turnedpsychopath<br />

killer in Road<br />

(2002).<br />

Bajpayee won the Special<br />

Jury National Award for Pinjar<br />

(2003). This was followed by<br />

a series of brief, unnoticed<br />

roles in films that failed to<br />

propel his career forward.<br />

He then played a greedy<br />

politician in the political


The actor<br />

struggled a<br />

lot during his<br />

initial days<br />

and even the<br />

filmmakers<br />

who<br />

recognized his<br />

talent offered<br />

less pay during<br />

that time.<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 />

Yadav as his inspirations.<br />

He is getting ready with his next<br />

movie Aligarh in the direction of<br />

Hansal Mehta which is based on<br />

the life of Indian linguist and author<br />

Dr. Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras,<br />

who was suspended from his job<br />

because of his sexual orientation.<br />

Manoj Bajpayee will be seen as a<br />

gay professor in the film and the<br />

movie received critical acclaim in<br />

all the screened film festivals. The<br />

movie has been getting terrific<br />

response all over which released<br />

thriller Raajneeti (2010), which was<br />

well received. In 2012, Bajpayee<br />

essayed the role of Sardar Khan in<br />

Gangs of Wasseypur. His next roles<br />

were of a naxalite in Chakravyuh<br />

(2012) and a CBI officer in Special<br />

The actor struggled a lot during his<br />

initial days and even the filmmakers<br />

who recognized his talent offered<br />

less pay during that time. Bajpayee<br />

is often regarded as a method actor<br />

and a director's actor, and is known<br />

for doing unconventional roles in<br />

films. Bajpayee has also been vocal<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 />

115


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 />

roles, we bring to you a list of<br />

Star Gazing<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 />
