Katrina Kaif hit films

Rishi Kapoor was worried about the materialistic society of London and wanted his daughter to be married with an Indian. He got her married to Akshay Kumar who was the son of his Punjabi friend.

She wanted to marry a British boy of her choice. Akshay Kumar explained to her his pains and his simplicity and modesty transformed Katrina and at the end of the film she agreed to return back to India with Akshay Kumar. Both of them well in the film Welcome. In that film Katrina was the sister of underworld dons Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar.

Review of Phoonk

Review of Phoonk

For the last 10 years Ram Gopal Verma had created a brand name in horror films. His viewers expect typical type of films where the anxiety, fear has more importance than the acceptance of the story of the film.

Phoonk had been created in the same lines in which his other horror films like Bhoot, Darna Mana Hai, Darna Zaoori Hai was created. Rajiv was involved in construction business in the film. He found a stone which resembled God Ganesha and refused to build a temple on the request of his workers.

Rajiv got a mini-city project and gave a party at this house to celebrate the occasion. His daughter after sometime started behaving awkwardly in school. The elders in the house realized that she had been overpowered by evil spirit. After that all the family members faced strange incidents in the house and felt in secured in the house.


After the climax of the film Rajiv started believing in evil spirits, while his wife still kept her confidence on medical science intact. The daughter was cured.

Ram Gopal Verma had made similar films in the past and the viewers had appreciated his camera effects and sound effects which had created the horror feeling in the film.

In respect of the acceptance of the story is concerned there are only a certain section of viewers who believe in evil spirits and appreciate them. The rest of them think that is mental element which compels people to believe in the existence of ghosts and spirits.


The performance of Raksha (Ehsaas) requires special mention. The film has elements of entertainment and will do well.

Suchitra Sen has not lost her appeal over the years.

Suchitra Sen has not lost her appeal over the years.

Suchitra Sen had retired from films in 1978 and by this period of time may have lost her popularity for not being in celluloid for over thirty years. But in reality her image became more dignified due to her retirement from films at the right time. She is one of the rare bollywood legends who had acted in only 60 films in her career over thirty years including the legendary bollywood films.

She acted in the legendary role of Parvati in Bimal Roy’s Devdas. It was a landmark film in Indian film history with Dilip Kumar, Motilal and Vaijayantimala doing justice to the classic literature of Sarat Chandra Chatterji. Her docile performance attracted attention of class and mass. Her performance in the film Mamta, the hindi adaptation of Bengali film Mamta had stormed bollywood in the 60s.


She was sublime in the double role of both the mother and daughter. The mother became a tawaif and shed her blood to make her daughter a barrister and killed her husband who wanted to destroy the career of the daughter. Suchitra Sen conducted the famous trial with Ashok Kumar where she pleaded innocence of her mother who was compelled to kill her husband due to grave provocation. Legendary actresses of bollywood including Meena Kumari, Wahida Rehman would have felt proud to perform in majestic role like Mamta the way Suchitra Sen had done.

She was brilliant in the film Aandhi, where her political career was in turmoil and and she shared her grief with her husband played by Sanjeev Kumar who was equally brilliant in Gulzar’s epic film. The film was banned for short period as the story resembled Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s frustration during the period of emergency during the mid-70s. Suchitra Sen’s lips in Lata’s songs “tere bina zindagi me shikwa”, “is mor se jate hai”, “tum agaye ho” composed by RD Burman stills haunts different sections of viewers.


With her success in bollywood films including Champakali with Bharat Bhushan, Bombai Ka Babu with Dev Anand, Suchitra Sen became the uncrowned queen of Bengali films where her combination with Uttam Kumar is considered the most immortal romantic pair of the decade. Her exhibition of powerful personality in films like Harano Sur, Saptapadi, Kamal Lata, Grihadaho along with Uttam Kumar makes the viewers nostalgic about the romantic face of Bengali films in the 50s and 60s. Her films should be restored for the next generation as they are invaluable assets of the country.
