"Is Pal Main Hoon" , Aaja Nachle (2007)

Sorry for my long absence !
Here is the loving song from "Aaja Nachle" featuring Konkon and Kunal , which also one of the songs from " Laila-Majnu" play. I really get a great moments for this film and especially dance sequences .

Konkona is very cute in the whole movie especially the last 30 minutes. Love her !

Here is the English Translation of the song -

is pal main hoon, ya tum bhi ho
(am i alone in this love filled moment, or is it you too)
ya dono ho ke bhi na hain
(or, are we both in this moment, yet lost in each other)
kyon ho kya ho, ho bhi ki naa ho
(are we really in this moment, if so, how and why)
ya kehna sun-na manaa hai
(or should silence overtake, the precious moments together)
.........

tumhe dekh ke yaad aayi, vahi bisri kahaani
(one gaze at you, reminds me of that eternal love story)
deewane ka kissa, ya phir ik deewani
(the story of that lovelorn young man, or perhaps a damsel)
dono sang sang rehte hardum
(accompanying each other each moment)
aisa ye, maine suna hai
(or so, i have heard, and it so reminds me of us both)
.........

I love this song for the beautiful lyrics, meaning and especially Konkona's cute looks !

Moreover , Konkona get the nomination in Stardust Award as Best Supporting Actress Award for both "Life in a ... Meto" and "Aaja Nachle" ! Wishing Konkona win this trophy.

Here , is the link for Filmfare Award polling form and vote for Konkona ! I myself voted her for "Life in a Metro" !.... Good Luck Koko!

News update !

Unfortunately , Konkona lost her Star Screen trophy again. But there are a few award functions left and I hope she will tie with in one of these.

I found an information at indiafm.com that Konkona will star in remake of Goutam Ghose's Paar : the original film starring Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah and both win National Awards respectively. Even without reliable sources , I hope this project will come out.
Meanwhile , I am seriously looking forward Aparna Sen's The Japanese Wife : unusual love story based on the novella by Kunal Basu . I haven't read any works of him but I am looking for this book , which will has been published soon. Even Konkona will not stars this film , I hope this will wonderful film like Aparna early works. And also I feel Raima Sen is awesome too.

Now , Omkara prequel ?

Last 2006 is the year of sequel and may 2008 be year of prequel ! Vishal Bhardwaj’s masterpiece Omkara was praised by critics and audience as also included the brilliant of all the star-casts including Konkona Sen.

Now producer Kumar Mangat states that they are in process of working on a prequel and they just hope things fall in place before it takes off. Wow , interesting na?

Currently the director Mr.Bhardwaj is now in Pune to work on a script, and that it maybe be the script for the prequel.

What will be in Omkara's prequel ? In my opinion, there is no space for Dolly and may be the love (relationship) between Indu and Langda . Hopefully this project takes out and Konkona will get the leading role instead of her supporting role in Omkara.

Konkona is noimnated at Star Screen Award Best Supporting Actress for Metro

Wow ,
Now is the awards seasons for Bollywood and very firstly Star Screen Award nominees are announced .
This nominees list is just announced and Konkona is nominated at Best supporting actress category for "Life in a Metro" .
Other competitors are -

• Chak De! Girls - Chak De! India (nonsense what the single award represent the whole team)


• Tisca Chopra - Taare Zameen Par ( really nice performances as suffering mother)


• Konkona Sen Sharma - Life in A… Metro ( magnificent )


• Shefali Shah - Gandhi My Father ( outstanding performance )

I cannot consider who should win the award because most nominees are really perfect for their respected role and we just have to wait . Good bless Konkona and wish she win the trophy (Last year she lost this Screen Award to Kirron Kher)

Looking Back , Looking Forward

Happy New Year for All ,

At the end of a year , like other I am wishing the coming up years will be the best of all.
In 2007 , Konkona make herself as an actress in mainstream Hindi film industry . Only one box-office success from four films of Konkona , doesn't dim her star-power.
Her performances , glamorous looks and new style attracts more Marsala film in the future.
For my suggestions, stop playing second fiddle and more meaningful projects , please.

Having these Releases,wish Konkona, get your second filmfare award (for Metro or Laaga Chunari Mein Daag) and having brighter future in 2008 . Please more films , we are not satisfied enough.

Konkona Sen Sharma in Mira Nair's Shantaram .

Wow , what's a good news again. I still cannot believe this news on indiaFM.com
This article ,states Konkona will play a small but vital part in Mira Nair's Shantaram. I still very excited for her more than Konkona herself. Konkona first step to Hollywood. Even though Konkona is Mira's first choice for "The Namesake" , finally Tabu stepped in. Anyway I am really excited this film since I have been read the novel.

Acclaimed director Mira Nair's confirmed that "In addition to Johnny Depp and Amitabh Bachchan, I'd confirmed Irrfan Khan in a major role and Konkona Sen for a one big dramatic scene. I've also been in talks with Prabhudeva, Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Ranvir Sheorey. I'd also love to work with Pankaj Kapoor. We have such an extraordinary bunch of great actors in India!"

Hopefully Konkona have a big-deal in small role like her previous "Traffic Signal".

Konkona in Zoya Akhtar's next "Luck by Chance"

I got that news this morning, just before I go and sit for my exam. But for this big project of Konkona, my tired mind get refresh.
A Time of India article states, Konkona signed for Zoya Akhtar directional debut film Luck by Chance , opposite Farhan Akhtar aslo his actor debut. Actually this is really a big project on India Film Industry different from "Om Shanti Om" and "Khoya Khoya Chand".A lots of actors and actresses are approached for the lead roles like Hrithik Roshan, Madhuri Dixit, Kareena Kapoor , Karishma Kapoor and recently Tabu. But Tabu want to change some scripts and finally Zoya signed Konkona.

Hopefully this film comes mid of 2008 and we will see Konkona in meaningful role again.

Screen Caps from "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" - (2007)

I just finished watching Pradeep Sarkar's film "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag" which can consider Konkon's first song and dance Hindi film masala. Konkona is just the second leads after Rani Mukherji but her role get some goodies. I personally don't like this film especially for the final parts which are not balanced with the circumstances . But I love Konkona's looks so much as well as her performances. (All performances are A grade) .Look here are Konkona's looks and her performances. She is simply beautiful and stylish.

"Amul" Commercial : Cute?

This is a "Amul" butter ad. ! Reflected from movie "Aaja Nachle" , featuring comics of Madhuri Dixit , Konkona Sen Sharma and Dalai (who plays Madhuri's daughter in Amul Baby looks) holding breads with Amul butter. I feel this ad is so cute and cannot stop smiling it :D

Konkona's upcoming films

After the two biggie releases of YashRaj, what will be Konkona's next?
Currently Konkona is host for "My Brilliant Brain" TV programme at "National Geographic Channel" , and after that there is two release in coming 2008.

Sunglass

Awaited film by art house director Rituparno Ghosh having very attractive casts like Jaya Badhuri , Raima Sen ,Naseeruddin Shah and Tamil superstar R. Madhavan. This film will have two versions: Hindi and Bengali and Konkona will be leading lady in both. This film is about extra-marital affair and hopefully this will release in early 2008.

Right Ya Wrong

Another commercial flick again Konkona as leading lady. Co-stars are Sunny Dole , Ishaa Koppikar , Irfan Khan and Deepal Shaw. Report states that Konkona palys a lawer , Sunny'swife and hopefully this will not be neglected.

So far, for this certain releases there are few projects that Konkona may do in future ;

• Aparna Sen's first hindi film named "Jewellery Box" ( Govinda , Sharmila Tagore , Soha Ali Khan)
• Aparna Sen's "Gulel" ( Abhishek Bachchan) and
• Shyam Benegal's next (but recently states that this project gone to "Amrita Rao")

Anyway , I am waiting forward all Konkona's films ; more meaningful films as well as some international films.
