Happy birthday to Diya Mirzaji.

Happy birthday to Diya Mirza.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to serene beauty Diya Mirza on 9th December, 2011. Although she had acted in more than 30 films, she did not succeed in reaching the stardom of toppers in bollywood like Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif. It is an established fact that ultramodern roles never suited Diya Mirza. She had a calm, quiet, docile image and whenever roles relating to that image were given she had done great jobs.
But whenever ultramodern roles were offered to her she could not adapt herself in the respective role. She was sublime opposite Salman Khan in the film Tumko Bhula Na Payenge. The film showed the loss of memory on the part of Salman Khan.
Salman Khan was a shooter and along with his co-shooter was appointed by the home minister to shoot his rival. But after some time bullets were fired at Salman Khan and he was found in a pond in a village. The father of Arbaaz Khan found Salman Khan and told him that he was his son.
Diya Mirza stayed in the same village and was the daughter of the friend of Salman Khan’s father. She used to visit Salman Khan and persuade him to believe that nothing serious had happened to him. Salman was inclined to know the cause of the loss of his memory. Neither Diya Mirza, nor Rajpal Yadav, told him the truth.
The romantic performance of Salman Khan and Diya Mirza was well appreciated by the viewers. Both of them gave able lips in the songs “yeh bekhudi diwanagi” and “are are yeh kya hua re” sung by Sonu Nigam and others. The other part of the film was related to Salman Khan taking revenge against his rival and death of Sushmita Sen in the struggle.
Her docile image was used by Vidhu Vinod Chopra in the film Parineeta. Her performance was well appreciated along with Vidya Balan. Even her performance in the films Deewanapan and Tumsa Nahi Dekha also had feminine appeal.
Even her performance in the film Lage Raho Munnabhai in the role of the daughter of Boman Irani had docile image. She was very obedient daughter of her father but the moment she knew that her horoscope was redesigned not to let his inlaws including Kulbhushan Kharwanda know that she was manglik, she told them the truth after speaking with Sanjay Dutt (Munna Bhai). She initially wanted to commit suicide but later changed her decision after being briefed by Munna Bhai.
Even her performance in Shootout at Lokhandwala had the feminine. But her performance in the film Cash broke the image, which was not liked by the audience. Her lips in an ultramodern fashion in the song “hey chori zara nachke dikha” along with Esha Deol and Shamita Shetty was not impressive at all.
Diya Mirza has a sweet face and loving image, so should concentrate on those roles which show her feminine docile image, rather than aggressive roles of egoists which can spoil her career. The viewers are looking forward to better performances from Diya Mirza in future.

Happy birthday to sweet star Diya Mirza.


Happy birthday to sweet star Diya Mirza.
The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to sweet star Diya Mirza on 9th December, 2010. Diya Mirza, the decent actress of bollywood films has to go a long way to maintain her stardom and feature in the films of leading producers and directors of bollywood industry. Dia Mirza, better known as Dia Mirza Handrich, was born on December 9th, 1981. She was runner up in Miss India 2000 Beauty contest.
She was the daughter of German interior designer named Frank Handrich and Bengali mother named Deepa Handrich. Her father died and her mother remarried Ahmed Mirza, and she retained the surname of her second father. When she entered films her initial ventures like Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, Deewanapan did not impress the viewers to that extent.
But her film Tumko Na Bhool Payenge, opposite Salman Khan, became very successful. Salman Khan and his friend were brilliant shooters. They were used by the home minister to kill his rivals. At that time Salman Khan was fired by his friend, he drowned in water and lost his memory. He was associated with Sushmita Sen in the first part of the film.
In the second part Salman Khan was saved by some strangers who lost their child in war. So they accepted Salman Khan as their son. Dia Mirza used to visit the family and in that way got emotionally attached with Salman Khan. The music in the film became extremely successful with Sonu Nigam’s title song “tumko na bhool payenge” becoming super hit. Dia Mirza’s performance was appreciated along with the performance of Sushmita Sen.
She got a memorable role in the film Parineeta. Although the role was not as prominent as that of Vidya Balan or Raima Sen, as it was based on novel of Sarat Chandra Chatterji and directed by Pradeep Sarkar, each and every character role was remembered by cinematic audience.
But her performances in films like Dus or Dum did not create a lasting impression with which she could have grabbed leading roles in future. She again impressed the viewers with her decent performance in the film Lage Raho Munnabhai.
She played the role of the daughter of Boman Irani, who showed a forged horoscope to Kulbhushan Kharbanda to get Dia Mirza married to his son. In reality she was a manglik, and people had reservations in marrying such girls. Sanjay Dutt after understanding the path of Mahatma Gandhi told Dia Mirza to disclose the reality. She said it and although Kulbhushan Kharbanda declined to get his son married to Dia Mirza, Abhishek Bacchan, his son married Dia Mirza as the truth shook his conscience.
She was impressive in her role in Shootout at Lokhandwala. But her appearance in films like Fight Club – Members only, or Cash did not impress the viewers to that extent. Her looks reflect the decency of urbanized young girls of good families. Whenever she had tried to play ultra-modern roles it did not pay her to that extent. Roles which suit Esha Deol or Shamita Shetty does not necessarily suit Dia Mirza.
She is presently working for the film Kabhi Bhi Kahin Bhi. The viewers feel that she has to be more choosy in selecting roles in future to stay in the race where Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai had crossed some distance. Dia Mirza has lot of skills and has the capability of reaching the summit in bollywood films.

Review of the film Kissan.


Sohail Khan had come up with a serious subject this time in his new film Kissan. In the film Jackie Shroff, a villager of Punjab brought up his two sons in two ways.
He gave good schooling to Arbaaz Khan, his elder son. Later on he became a lawyer with urbanized background. The younger son Sohail Khan, could not study due to lack of financial support. He ended up helping is father as a farmer in the plot of land where he cultivated crops in Punjab.
Dilip Tahil came to the village and persuaded the villagers of the region to sell their lands for his own personal gains. As most of the villagers were uneducated or half-educated it was not difficult for him to convince them.
Jackie Shroff’s family showed the maximum resistance against such evil plan. For while they were united their fight against saving their land they got disintegrated by more problems accruing due to the issues raised by Dia Mirza and Nauheed Cyrusi. The film took a turn after they entered the drama.
In respect of performance Jackie Shroff did an extremely good job in the character role. Sohail Khan had shown that he had matured as an actor. Arbaaz Khan got a favourable script and did well. Diya Mirza was equally sublime in her respective role.
The director Puneet Sira had experimented with a very remote subject. A lot of films had been made on similar subjects before. Ronnie Screwala and Zarine Mehta were the other producers other than Sohail Khan. The film is expected to do well.

Films like Tumko Na Bhool Payenge did not get the respose they deserved.

Films like Tumko Na Bhool Payenge, did not get the response that they deserved. The film was released few years back. Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Diya Mirza played the major roles in the film.
The film had all the elements of entertainment including action, romance and comedy. Yet with its innovative storyline the film did mediocre business. May be the tastes of viewers in the last few years had become unpredictable.
Salman Khan was a good shooter in the film. He and his friend were used by the Home Minister of Maharashtra in relation to a killing operation in the state. But Salman Khan was shot at that time and he drowned in water and was rescued by another family. Sushmita Sen was supposed to marry Salman Khan but the situation totally changed after Salman was shot.
When Salman Khan was rescued he lost his memory and forgot all the events of his past life. Diya Mirza and Rajpal Yadav tried their best in telling false stories about his past. His marriage was fixed with Diya Mirza. His parents lost their own son played by Arbaaz Khan who sacrificed his life in Cargill War.
His parents were very happy to accept Salman Khan as their son. They ever wanted Salman Khan remember his past and continued to tell him that he was their only son. Salman Khan was even shown to a witch doctor in the village played by Johnny Lever.
All of a sudden during an encounter in the village when Salman’s father was beaten up, Salman Khan had intervened. At that time the real story relating to his past life was unfolded. He left for Bombay to know his identity and save his brother.
When he went to Bombay he found that his friend had married Sushmita Sen and the friend was responsible for the injury that he had suffered. He found out his contacts and took revenge against him. In the process Sushmita Sen died after she tried to save Salman Khan.
The music in the film was very impressive which included hit songs of Sonu Nigam like “tumko bhula na payenge”, “kya hua tujhe”, etc. Sushmita Sen and Diya Mirza gave able lips in the songs that were picturized on them.
In the last few years, there has been a tradition that only comedy films did good business in India. That was the reason why Tumko Na Bhool Payenge failed to do adequate business. Instead of persisting on any one type of subject matter, the viewers should liberally watch every type of film. As long as the storyline, the acting, the direction is good, the films should not suffer at box-office.

Diya Mirza – the sweet performer of bollywood.

Diya Mirza is one of the sweet actresses of recent times who had made decent contribution in bollywood films for the last few years. She was model and was second runner up in the Miss India beauty contest in 2000.
She started her career in the film Rehna Hai Tere Dil Me in the role of Reena Malhotra. She impressed the viewers with her innocent performance in the film Tumko Na Bhool Payenge. In that film Salman Khan was shot and he lost his memory after the incident. Somehow he survived and the members of the family who rescued him treated him like his son.

Diya Mirza ably supported Salman during the period when he lost his memory. The family with whom he lived lost their son in military operation and identified their own son with Salman. Salman went to Bombay to unearth the truth about his past. He remembered that he and his freidn were appointed by the Home Minister for shooting an important person and his friend shot him and married Sushmita Sen who was supposed to marry Salman.
Salman took revenge against his friend but in the process lost Sushmita who died in the encounter. Salman returned back to the family who helped him in the past and met Diya Mirza again. The song in the film “are are yeh kya hua re”, sung by Sonu Nigam became very big hit.

Diya Mirza also featured in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s film Parineeta in a small role, as the central characters were played by Vidya Balan, Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan. She also acted in successful films like Dus and Fight Club.
She got an important role in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, where she played the role of the daughter of Boman Irani, who arranged marriage for her on the basis of false horoscope as the astrologer of the husband’s family considered her unlucky for their son. But ultimately she was married to the same person due to effort of Sanjay Dutt who showed Gandhigiri in the film. With Krazzy 4 and other films to be released in 2008, Diya Mirza is expected to do even better in her following films.
