| GET A COPY OF CINE FASHION TO GET MORE NEWS ON: |
| Cine Special - Guru of our Times ~ Mani Ratnam |
| With his latest offering GURU, the man has weaved yet another smooth screenplay. The movie bears almost all the familiar elements, which epitomize the genius craftsmanship of Mani Ratnam (MR). But strangely enough, there is a sense of dissatisfaction (at least, for this writer) as GURU draws to a close, a veritable anti-climax as it were, in its concluding scenes and to MR's repertoire ... |
| Director - I was the useless real life Veyyil brother! ~ VASANTHABALAN |
| Vasanthabalan became an overnight sensation with his direction of Veyyil. His touching narrative woven with much care and precision did not go unnoticed by an audience craving for good cinema. Critics and audience lapped it up and we now look forward to his next film to see if he can sustain the very high standards he has established for himself. His movie making style is very reminiscent of the earlier day Bharathiraja. To top it all of he had the temerity to cast someone like Pasupathy to play the protagonist. |
| Actress - Old men are heroes but ravishing Nadia is mom! ~ NADIA |
Watching her in Thamirabharani recently I couldn't help but admire not just the way Nadia has retained her good looks but also the way she has maintained such a good figure! Once again, this elegant lady has managed to upstage the heroine in her movie. Remember her in M Kumaran where she looked just like Asin's big sis? |
| Actor - Joyful Addition from Star Family ~ KARTHI |
| Growing up in such an illustrious star-studded family obviously did have a big impact on Karthi's career decisions. Acting however wasn't his first choice. He was fascinated by directing. He even worked as an apprentice with director Mani Ratnam. But then, director Ameer approached him with the offer to star in an offbeat film named Paruthiveeran and Karthi accepted it. |
| Legend - The Ultimate Tamil Kadhalan! ~ GEMINI GANESAN |
| No Tamil hero can hold a candle against the late Gemini Ganesan, when it comes to having sex appeal as well as flaunting it of course. The stylish actor was way ahead of his times in the way he conducted his career as well as personal life. Of course he was blessed with natural good looks, charisma, good education and most importantly personality in abundance. The kind of frenzy and sexual appeal that Gemini oozed made him the first sex symbol hero of Kollywood. |
| Actor - JEEVA ~ THE MARCH CONTINUES... |
| Super Good Films has produced not only big hits but also a star with huge potential in the form of Jeeva. Born Amar Choudry 22 years ago the young man has gone from strength to strength and today stands tall as a member of the next generation of Kollywood kings waiting in line to stamp their authority. |
| Malayalam Actor - What do you mean by WORLD class film!? ~ MAMMOOTY |
| In a land where most things are equal, one name looms large. He's tall, well built, possesses porcelain like skin, has the sexiest voice of all actors and looks amazingly simple but elegant. He is none other Mammooty. In the 75-year history of Malayalam cinema, if there is one actor who could stand the test of time, it is Mammooty! |
| Telugu Actress - A little Ash, A little Such ~ PARVATI MELTON |

She has walked the ramps in numerous fashion shows and has also modelled for famous designers like Satya Paul -all in the USA.
