First Look at "Iti Mrinalini"

Among a few Konkona's upcoming films, the most awaited one for me is "Iti Mrinalini" , a film by "Aparna Sen", life of an actress whose career spans two decades, starting from the 1950s. The Time of India has an articel about the film,where Konkona plays the younger version of the actress.

It includes the first still I've seen from the film, in which Konkona with her c0-star Shaheb Bhattacharjee (who plays Mrinalini collage love interest), uploaded above. There is still no release date, hopefully for a fall next year release.

Reviews on Konkona SenSharma for "Wake up Sid"

Watching "Wake up Sid" is like visiting an oasis while living so long in a desert. I really delighted every single moments of Konkona on screen ; while she leads from the front with her simple yet gorgeous looks. Her sensuous and soft dialogue delivery wins over the viewer in the first scene itself. Konkona handles Ranbir just like a mature understanding lady, in love with a young innocent boy.

(special mention is this time I get impression on Ranbir, who is a supremely talented actor! just wow)

Here are review from various sources (emphasize on Konkona SenSharma)

• Konkona as Aisha is simply outstanding. Her performance underlines how good actors instil regular part with real soul. ( Avijit Ghosh-Time of India )

• Konkona is natural to the core and the best part is, she's so effortless. Here's another winning performance from this incredible performer.( Taran Adarsh - bollywoodhungama.com)

• Konkona Sen Sharma is dependable as usual and is expressive in her act.(Gaurav Malani, Econominc Times)

• Konkona treads familiar territory. There are occasions when she evokes a strong sense of déjà vu but the actress still finds ways to make her Aisha unique with a mix of patience, warmth, effortless sensuality and wide-eyed romanticism. (rediff.com)

• Konkona Sen also impresses and plays her part confidently.( Pankhuri Kapoor - Total Family)

• Konkona, not known for her glamorous image, keeps pace with the cute Kapoor lad. The two look fabulous together. It's only a tight script and a good director that could weave this magic. (Martin D'Souza - Bollywood Trade News Network)

• Konkona SenSharma has played these independent, career driven roles before. But despite a sketchy part, her natural enthusiasm is an asset to the film. (Anand Vaishnav . Buzz18 )

• Konkana Sen Sharma is good yet again. Frankly, she doesn’t need dialogues, her eyes and facial expressions do the trick. And although she looks slightly older to Ranbir, the role she plays is of a older woman. ( Indicine Team )

For me I really proud for whole team of "Wake Up Sid" (Aryan, Konkona, Ranbir and Karan) and thanks for giving us such a delightful movie ! For Koko I want to see more of her =)

Guys ! I am so excited to see her in "Wake up Sid" , she looks so beautiful in promos.

Cannot wait to "Wake Up" !!!

(First couple photo featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona SenSharma from "Wake Up Sid")

Now, we've got a glimpse of the upcoming "Wake Up Sid'', Konkona SenSharma's second film of the year. Despite of it's promising trailer , I hope the film itself make the own distinguished history ( may be critically or commercial) . I ( actually we all ) love Konkona's looks in glamor ways and the unusual pair (Ranbir & Konkona) can share the great on-screen chemistry.

Here is the Konkona's character outline (by Sid's point of view) -

"God, there's so much to say about Aisha... She's new to Mumbai, and completely infatuated with the city. She left everyone and everything she knew in Kolkata to go after her dream of becoming a writer for this cool urban magazine called Mumbai Beat. She's creative, ambitious, focused, driven, brave... phew, basically everything I'm not!"

Her character is obviously serious ,smart , intelligent and thinking middle-age woman , and story line on how she fall in love with such lazy , fun and doing-nothing guy will be really interesting. And the way how they will menage their relationships , may be the best part of movie.

Overall I hope she has a big juicy role, and I can't wait to see the film.

Theatrical Trailer of "Wake Up Sid"

Aisha Bannerjee's first looks!

The official website of "Wake Up Sid" is lunched ! Here check out . The official trailer will out at 10th of August at the site and here is the small picture of Konkona's character and Sid's point of view on her . Check it . By the way Konkona looks so beautiful in this small picture .

Pressure to be Skinny !

It would be safe to say Konkona SenSharma's talent is possibly the best thing since hot coffee on a rainy night and it's clear no one can have enough. But is there a certain kind of pressure to be skinny since she stepped into the shoes of typical Hindi film heroine?

She is currently working in Karan Johar's next "Wake up Sid" and his decision to star Konkona as the leading lady is surprised by many. Karan Johar loves to present his leading ladies as glamor dolls although this movie revolves around a good looking guy (Ranbir) who falls for an older, simple woman (Konkona). So, Karan lived up to his vision by not just hiring fashion designer Manish Malhotra to give Konkona a new look, but he also made her lose weight for the role.

But in few months old article, the creators of "Wake up Sid" didn't satisfied with their heroine looks and they politely requested her to re-shoot some scenes, but Konkona refused to re-shoot them. She proudly declares that they will get her just the way she is. I am, personally, glad that she stood her own ground.

But in Time of India article, after all the shooting is finished, Konkona went back to her original weight and a day’s patch work is needed. So Karan Johar, ask her to take her weight loss program again. He is of the opinion that since it is patch work, the difference in Konkona’s physical appearance will clearly be seen and he does not want that. This shooting is scheduled for the end of August and Konkona remained unavailable for comment.

Konkona thanks St. Stephen's!

Konkona SenSharma has a degree in English from St. Stephen's College, Delhi which she received in 2001. But not many people know that it was in the college Audi that she actually learn all about acting. In recent interview on Time of India, Konkona admits it.

"I was a member of the Dramatics Society in St Stephen’s and that was where I picked up the nuances of acting. The practice sessions during the college days laid the foundation for my acting. Each of my deserving performances is because of what I learn at college"

It's glad to here and Konkona gives the credit of each good performance to the college!

"Yeh Aaj Kya Ho Gaya? ," Luck by Chance (2009)

Today song is cute bit of sweetness from Konkona's classsic Luck By Chance - "Yeh Aaj Kya Ho Gaya?" . I absolutely love song which begins on a happy note, courtesy the lively arrangements and the overall feel good factor of the number.

This songs capture on beautiful Konkona , after spending their first night with her new boyfriend, and she keeps romancing with her dreams. This also highlights some of the cuter aspects of her character , Sona Mishra, that are on display in the first half of this film, before all her dreams are broken.



Personally, I think she looks extremely sexy in her own ways and I love the way she eats her cake. So watch the videos, and enjoy.
