Asin keeps the boys waiting



The Ghajini girl has a life outside of Bollywood.

For starters, the girl is a bookworm! “I used to have a huge library at home, so reading has been a habit since childhood. And even today, I just can’t do without a book...,” said Asin when we met her recently. So the girl is ‘booked’ in some sense of the term... but about being booked in real life, love still hasn’t happened to Asin.

The hooking and booking may have to wait for a while she tells us. As she is more engrossed in books and films, the boys will just have to wait. And we are sure they’d be willing to wait for this hottie.

Pics: What's been happening in tinseltown

Asin unveils her Filmfare cover, Vidya Balan at a musical concert and some more


I am Number One: That is what Asin seems to be saying


Too Much: That's Asin on the cover. We aren't fans. And her red and gold combination is a bit too shiny and loud. Tone it down, girl!


Bored: Vidya looks bored at a musical concert. And she shouldn't step out without her make up and hair done


Wah Ustaad Wah! That's the musical genius performing


Twosome: Kay Kay Menon and Rukhsar at a press meet for the Stoneman Murders


Grrr: Priyadarshan at the launch of horror film Grrr.

Asin’s success is pukka!

With Valentine’s Day round the corner, looking sexy in red Asin is gracing the cover of a Filmfare this month.

With the success of Ghajini working wonders for the actress, Asin talks to us about being the face of the magazine, her next film London Dreams and being one of the most net savvy actresses in Bollywood today.

How do you define Filmfare?
Filmfare is the most renowned film magazine we have today and for me it's really special…not just now but since the day I was working down-south. They have helped me a lot and given me space in their magazine.

What’s been keeping you busy since Ghajini?
I am doing London Dreams with Ajay and Salman opposite me. We have completed the shoot in London.

We heard that you bond really well with Salman?
It's not that way…I share a pukka professional relationship with each one of my co-stars; whether it’s Aamir, Salman, Ajay, or even down south.

Any transformation in you nature post Ghajini?
This question can be answered by my close friends better then me. But as far I know there is no change at all. Earlier too I used to keep in touch with my fans through my website and now too I interact and reply to their mails.

All the stars are going internet…
But I have had my website for a long time as I am pukka net savvy. I like reading online…

We hear you have signed an international film with Kamal Haasan…

Yes…. The lead actor is a Japanese star Tadanobu Asano and also Kamal Haasan. It will be in three languages. But I think it's too early to talk about the film. The pre-production is going on right now and probably the shoot will start in August.

Your career seems to be a lot like Deepika’s. The big A list stars to debut with… then an action film.
I don't think so! I have my own way… the way I am looking at my career. It's just a coincidence but 19th Steps… it’s not a pukka action film…it's more of a war drama.

Tell us something we don’t know about you.
I’m a complete book worm! I remember when I use to flick books and hide it from my dad! And pukka is my new favourite word… I say it all the time.

Asin has a lot of plans!



The pretty Asin could do with some beauty sleep.

Post-Ghajini, the actress hasn’t been able to rest much. It’s no surprise that everyone wants a bit of her success pie. “Forgive me if I sound low, but I have been sleeping two to three hours and running from one shoot to another,” explains Asin, as we catch up after another exhausting shoot. Sleep apart, Asin has no complaints. After playing the girl-next-door in Ghajini, the South actress gets to glam it up in her next movie London Dreams. And to add to it she gets to star opposite another Khan — Salman — in this one! So, which Khan does she prefer? “You can’t expect me to choose between them. That’s not fair, both are legends,” she exclaims adding, “You can’t compare them. They are poles apart and yet similar. The common factor is that they are both genuine people.” And yes, SRK is on her wishlist too. “He seems to be a very charming person. I hope something comes up soon,” she prays.

It’s been a year now that Asin has moved to Mumbai from Kerala. Moving to Bollywood was a natural step for the 23-year-old. “It wasn’t a planned move. Ghajini was being remade and since I had worked in the original I was offered the remake. Everything else was a big bonus,” she smiles.

Though her first movie has brought her a lot of accolades, she also had to face some nasty rumours. So, is she ready for the fireworks? “I am never ready for rumours! The best way to deal with them is to ignore them. We are a small family and my father looks after my career. He is always with me, so they know whatever I am upto,” she shrugs. And what about the alleged catfight with Jiah Khan? “Our portions were shot entirely at different times. We came together only for one scene and even then we got along like a house on fire. When I got to hear of the rumours I was surprised and I am sure so was Jiah,” she says.

Ask her to describe herself and she says, “I know it sounds a bit corny, but I would say I am sugar, spice and everything nice.” And yes, she’s absolutely single too. “At the moment, the only man in my life is my dad,” she laughs.

Despite Ghajini, Asin needs London Dreams hit

Aamir Khan’s Ghajini has had not one but two success parties - one of relief after the film was a declared a hit over its first weekend, and the other after the film crossed Rs 200 crore.
But the film's lead actress Asin hasn't managed to reap the benefit she would have expected to, after being seen as the next big thing in Bollywood.

“When it was learned that Asin had been signed opposite Aamir in Ghajini, Bollywood looked up and took notice. She soon became one of the faces to be watched out for. But her kitty of films is not really showing it. Her next big film is London Dreams and that was signed even before Ghajini had released,” says a source close to the actress.

Another thing that may have backfired for Asin is the next to no interaction she has had with the media. And that, the source said, was deliberate.

“Both Asin and Jiah had been kept completely away from the media. She was barely there for an event or two. Also the fear that she can’t speak Hindi properly is unfounded and she can hold her own in an interview. In fact the media in the south know her as one of the best interviewees," the source said.

The only thing that did come Asin’s way by way of business after the release of Ghajini was an advertisement with Ghajini co-star Aamir Khan for Tata Sky as well as one for Tanishq.

Initially Asin was considered as a big threat for the other well established actresses in Bollywood especially because she was very famous in the South. But then after seeing her role in the film, producers and directors aren’t overly excited about putting their money on her.

"In the current economic conditions , everyone wants well established actors who can ensure a hit," said one producer, "and as far as Ghajini is concerned it was an all out Aamir Khan film."

Asin and Jiah had relatively small roles in the film and so haven’t really been able to show their talent. "Asin’s now banking on London Dreams to really get her established,” said the source close to her.

On Set: London Dreams in Chandigarh

From London to Paris and now finally Chandigarh, London dreams has moved the shoot near Kurali railway station, in Chandigarh. This is the last leg of major shooting for the film. Sallu reportedly stopped shooting for his forthcoming film Veer, to shoot for London Dreams. Vipul Shah plans on shooting between January 5 and January 16. A few song sequences have been squeezed into the schedule as well.

The movie, London Dreams is about a rock band based in London. The protagonists, Slaman Khan and Ajay Devgan, play childhood friends in the film. The film is set to release on August 14th, 2009


Chal Mere Bhai: Ajay seems to have some grip on Salman.


Jat bana Salman: If Salman plays the man in a turban; does Ajay play the man in tight pants?


All smiles: Behind this pretty face is there really a stubborn, tantrum-throwing actress?


Lighting it up… … with a cigarette: Ajay takes pleasure in lighting up on screen… and in real life.


Untouched, uncaring: Devgan seems to be oblivious to the ban on smoking in public places.

Asin's starry tantrums

The tremendous success of “Ghajini” and a rocking response from the audience to her performance seem to have led Asin to throw starry tantrums.

The 23-year-old actress, who is currently shooting for “London Dreams” with Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan, has started acting difficult on the sets.

Apparently, the makeup artist and the designer have already quit because of Asin.

Vipul had appointed Manzoor Khan as the makeup artist for Asin. But she did not get along with him. When contacted, Manzoor confirmed the story and said that he had a very bad experience with Asin. She never liked the makeup that was done on her and always gave him instructions on what should be done. He kept his cool and continued for two days after which he got tired of her and decided not to do Vipul's film.

Designer Niharika Khan too had the same problem and therefore decided to quit the film.

However, Vipul had a very different story to tell. He said the team was not happy by the look Manzoor gave Asin and hence he was told to quit the film. “It was not Manzoor who left us but it was us who told Manzoor to leave,” said Vipul.

We suspect Vipul is covering up for Asin…

Ghajini is a historic hit

Ghajini is the first Bollywood film to cross the Rs.100 crore mark in one week, leaving Rab Ne… and Singh is Kinng far behind.



Posters across the city read, "Historic Hit in 14 minutes and 52 seconds."

The spokesperson for Ghajini says, "Ghajini has had the biggest box office opening and collections this year. It is the first movie to cross more than 100 crores in a week. The collections, as of 31st December, were Rs. 140 crores and we are still counting."
She further adds, “The poster reads 14 minutes and 52 seconds because Aamir loses his memory every 14 minutes and 52 seconds. The money Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi earned in 3 weeks, Ghajini took a week to earn."

The cast and crew of Ghajini recently celebrated with a success party on December 30. Ghajini had already made Rs.110 crores by then.

In spite of the unfavourable reviews, Ghajini smashed all previous opening-week records. It earned Rs.90 crores during the Christmas weekend because of all the pre-release hype the film generated. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi earned 63 crores in its opening weekend. It grossed Rs. 90 crores in its first week. Singh is Kinng earned Rs. 29 crores in its opening weekend and its total earnings are Rs. 128 crores. 2007’s biggest hit Om Shanti Om has earned almost Rs. 156 crores worldwide.

Commenting on the success of the film, Aamir says, "I am very happy that Ghajini has broken so many records. Numbers don't matter to me as people's appreciation is more important. I was really stressed before the release, especially with the case, but everything's going well now."

Regarding who the number one actor is, Shah Rukh or him, he said, "People decide who is number one."

B.O. update:- 'Ghajini' has unprecedented start, collects Rs. 10cr. to Rs. 12 cr.

The keenly-anticipated GHAJINI fetched the biggest start ever, shattering the record held by SINGH IS KINNG and GOLMAAL RETURNS, the two big openers of 2008. The paid previews were packed to capacity on Wednesday night and the film ran to almost 100% response throughout the country on Thursday.

Studio 18, the distributors of the film, were in for a pleasant surprise. Having released two of the biggest openers this year -- SINGH IS KINNG and GOLMAAL RETURNS -- and also one of the biggest openers of 2007 [WELCOME], they couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the figures pouring in from all over. Exhibitors across the country were going into raptures, stressing on the cent per cent occupancy on Wednesday night [paid previews] and also Thursday [Christmas].

This writer was in constant touch with several exhibitors, who couldn't hide their excitement. The common feedback is, the crowd was uncontrollable, that the crowd inside and outside their theatres was the same, that the film was packed in advance for the entire weekend.

Talking of numbers, the film collected approx. Rs. 2 cr. + in paid previews [a record], while the Thursday numbers were approx. Rs. 9 cr. According to early indications, the film collected between Rs. 10 cr. to Rs. 12 cr. nett, as per Studio 18. It's a new record, it's creating history!

Asin unveils the Ghajini paintings made by Salman Khan


Salman Khan being an avid painter is a fact that's now as old as the hills. The brawny actor is known to even gift his exquisite paintings to those whom he considers truly special. The latest person to benefit from Salman's generosity and love is none other than Aamir Khan.

Aamir and Salman have been good friends for a while now and the story goes that Sallu was so impressed by Aamir's performance in his latest flick Ghajini that he decided to gift him two special paintings, done by Salman himself of course. The paintings, in keeping with the somewhat dark theme of the film, are in black and white and a noticeable aspect of both the paintings is the fact that both of them depict Aamir's by-now-famous Ghajini hairstyle.

The paintings were unveiled at a special function at a Mumbai multiplex by Ghajini's lead actress Asin. For those who came in late, Asin not only stars opposite Aamir in Ghajini but also plays the romantic lead in the Salman Khan- Ajay Devgan starrer London Dreams.

Aamir's performance in Ghajini has surely caught Salman's fancy. Now one will have to wait and watch if it manages to impress the janta-janardhan when the film opens across cinema halls this Christmas.

Ghajini - Movie Review



The wait is finally over! An Aamir Khan film is nothing short of an event. The supremely talented actor acts in one film a year and no two films are ever identical in terms of plotline. No wonder then that you await an Aamir starrer with bated breath.

GHAJINI, the Tamil version, has been a massive hit and so was its dubbed Telugu version. Will the Hindi adaptation live up to the humungous expectations? The hype is unmatched and you expect no less than a present-day masterpiece.

Now the good news: GHAJINI demonstrates how strong film-making can enhance and elevate an already solid concept.

GHAJINI is a revenge saga, one ingredient that has been the staple diet of Hindi films since time immemorial. It is a powerful film. It has the power to sweep you off your feet from the word 'go'. It has a riveting story, which has been told with flourish by director A.R. Murugadoss. And, of course, it has a knockout performance by Aamir Khan. If at all there's a shred of doubt whether Aamir is The Best in the business, all you've got to do is check out GHAJINI.

Flaws any? Running time [almost 3 hours]? Not at all! There's so much happening in every scene and the screenplay is so gripping that you don't feel the need to look at the auditorium ceiling or at your watch at brief intervals. You aren't restless. As moviegoers, we've watched countless good versus evil fares over the years and although GHAJINI belongs to the same family, not once does it take the beaten track. The story has been told differently and most importantly, the story offers so many twists-n-turns that you just can't guess what would unfold next.

Is it violent? It is, at times, but the violence here is justified. In fact, every time the protagonist bashes up the evil-doers, you clap and root for him. The climax is jaw-dropping -- dissimilar from the original, but it's an out of the world experience nonetheless.

To sum up, GHAJINI is commercial Hindi cinema at its best. The film has 'Hit' written all over it. Let me put it this way: Cancel whatever you're doing today and go watch GHAJINI instead.

Aamir Khan is suffering from acute short-term memory loss set off by the violent murder of his girlfriend Asin. He's got to work around this handicap, but with methodical and meticulous determination. Aamir etches a path of clues that lead him on his road.

To aid him in his quest, he carries around a sheaf of Polaroids and when he is really sure of a piece of information, he has it tattooed on his body, which stands in for the damaged part of his mind. His indelibly marked torso is the repository of his grief, his rage and his reason to go on living.

Any more revelation would do gross injustice to the film and to its viewer.

First things first! GHAJINI is not MEMENTO. There're minor similarities, but GHAJINI takes a completely different route to tell its story. Director A.R. Murugadoss tells this one differently. It starts off with what happens in the past, comes to the present-day, goes back in time again and returns to the contemporary again. This is a breathless, exciting story, heart-breaking and exhilarating at the same time.

Hindi movies have often depicted people suffering from amnesia/memory loss, but GHAJINI is poles apart because the protagonist recalls events only for 15 minutes. The story is its USP, without a doubt. But what adds sheen and glory to the story is Aamir's portrayal of a man suffering from short-term memory loss. Aamir hardly speaks. In fact, the leading lady [Asin] speaks more than Aamir in the film. But Aamir speaks volumes with his eyes, he conveys whatever has to be conveyed through his body language, he says it all with his facial expressions and that only makes GHAJINI a memorable, never-seen-before experience.

Director A.R. Murugadoss deserves brownie points for not just coming up with an interesting story, but also presenting it [refreshingly] differently. The storyteller balances the light moments and the ones demanding intensity with expertise. There's dum in every sequence. Even if the director has to depict violence, he doesn't resort to blood-n-gore or knives-swords-pistols for effect.

A.R. Rahman's music is top notch. At least three numbers have the unmistakable stamp of a genius -- 'Guzarish', 'Behka' and 'Kaise Mujhe'. Ravi Chandran's cinematography is stunning. The film bears a stylish look all through. The action sequences are brilliantly executed. The Hindi moviegoers haven't seen such scenes ever.

Aamir delivers his career-best performance. In the first place, it requires courage and maturity to name the film after the villain. Knowing how egoistic our stars are, something like this is next to impossible in Hindi films.
A lot has been said and written about the GHAJINI look -- Aamir's hairstyle and his dream physique. It's awe-inspiring and if more and more people adopt the 'Aamir look' or hit the gym, it would be courtesy the actor.
As far as his acting is concerned, he's natural as the tycoon, but like a wounded, ferocious tiger when he goes on an avenging spree.
Without doubt, it's a concentrated, layered performance. He acts with his entire being. His body movement, the details of his performance, everything rings true. He is both vulnerable and hard. The pain in his face when he can't remember, is palpable. It's not only the plot that carries GHAJINI. It's also the mood and the expression on Aamir's face that makes GHAJINI a treat.

Asin is fabulous. To share the screen space with an actor of the stature of Aamir Khan and yet remain in your memory even after the show has ended is no cakewalk. She looks fresh and photogenic and acts her part brilliantly. Pradeep Rawat, the villain, is first-rate. Jiah Khan impresses, especially in the sequence when Aamir follows her to a shopping mall.

On the whole, GHAJINI is a winner all the way. The film will set new records and has the merits to emerge one of the biggest Hits of all times. The weekend business should be historic, the Week 1 business should be unparalleled, the lifetime gross should be amongst the biggest of all times. In short, GHAJINI has 'Blockbuster' written all over it.

SMS reveals 'Ghajini' climax

Read only if you want to the know the film’s possible ending

Just when the audiences started queuing up for booking their tickets for Aamir Khan-starrer “Ghajini”, a chain SMS started playing spoilsport by revealing what could possibly be the climax of the film.

“Someone killed Aamir's girlfriend and he lost his memory. Then he tries to find out the killer. Suspens... Aamir himself is the killer. Now enjoy 'Ghajini'!” says the SMS that has been doing the rounds on the mobile phones for the past few days.

Whether the SMS is true would only be clear once the film releases on Thursday. However, several people have received this SMS through known as well as unknown sources.

Says 22-year-old Surbhi Pant: “I received this SMS a few days back. I was very irritated after reading it because I wanted to watch the film. Now I don't know if it is true or not. Just in case this is the story of the film, I would be really disappointed, as I know the plot now. Eventually, I thought I should forward it to all my friends.”

The film is the much-hyped Hindi remake of director A.R. Murugadoss' Tamil hit with the same name.

While the original "Ghajini" featured southern actor Surya Sivakumar along with actress Asin Thottumkal, Murugadoss cast Aamir to play the main lead in the Hindi version and repeats Asin in female lead.

“Ghajini” is the love story of a rich businessman Sanjay Singhania (Aamir) and a model Kalpana (Asin). The story takes a U-turn when Kalpana is murdered and Sanjay suffers temporary amnesia due to a brain injury. Sanjay's character sets out to take revenge from those responsible for Kalpana's death.

While in the Tamil version of “Ghajini”, Sanjay finds the murderer and completes his revenge by killing him; the ending has been altered in the Hindi version.
