although it contains some cliches , ana hurra effectively puts forward social issues that still need to be addressed in a society that continues to struggle in finding both freedom and its meaning .
as a storytelling group , ana el hekaya continue to weaves stories from old fabrics thought to have been past their prime , and bring them back in surprising new colours and shades .
the group first began work on naguib mahfouz’s palace walk , which has become iconic with its characters el sayed ahmed abdel gawad and his wife amina . next , they selected taha hussein’s do’aa el karawan , which tackles honour killing . then they read al haraam by yousef idris and ana horra by ehsan abdel qudous . the stories produced in the workshops are witty and creative from a unique perspective ; some of them were published in a special feature in akhbar al youm newspaper .
ana horra is an egyptian drama movie directed by salah abu seif . the film , which is an adaptation of ihsan abdel quddous’ novel , follows the story of amina ( lobna abdel aziz ) , a young egyptian woman living with her exceedingly conservative aunt and uncle , who struggles to break free from an oppressive male - dominated society . she stands up to her family as they try to force her into an arranged marriage at a very young age , and fights for her right to pursue an education .
salah abu seif’s 1958 production ana hurra ( i am free ) was definitely ahead of its time . but then again so was the ihsan abdel quddous novel it was based on , published in 1952 .
launching in 2009 with the core group of the four writers , ana el hekaya flourished as its members increased , and they performed in several venues . the core group asked about twenty new women to join ana el hekaya , all of whom have different professions , some have a background in writing and others don’t . their first and major project in 2009 was to read major works of egyptian literature that have influenced our society , and write their own stories from a feminist and personal point of view .
ana horra is one of the great movies of a woman’s fight to gain freedom . in this movie , amina , who is played by lobna abdel aziz , is a young girl who was raised by her aunt to respect the societal restraints on women , but she refuses to follow them , and demands to live freely by her own rules . so she goes to college and gets involved in politics , which put her in jail . that’s what makes her realize that freedom is much wider than what she has always hoped for . throughout her journey , amina discovers that the ultimate freedom in which she wants to live is to be free as an individual in a free democratic country .
believing that art is the best way to carry a message , and reviving a very old egyptian tradition , the founders of ana el hekaya ( i am the story ) began writing and telling tales with qalat el raweya ( the female storyteller said ) , a project initiated with the women and memory forum .
ana el hekaya has performed in important cultural venues such as beit el seheimy and the cairo opera house in celebration of international woman’s day in 2010 . they have also conducted several workshops with young writers of both genders and performed the stories from these workshops in november 2010 , which was directed by caroline khalil .
as the music from eman salaheddin’s oud and the other instrumentalists introduced the first storyteller ; one by one , the members of ana el hekaya took the stage to tell their stories . the original storytellers were joined by younger members and they all told stories of egyptian women in our current times showing strength and resilience . humour , sadness and shocking elements are mixed with the lives of the characters in their stories .
ana el hekaya held a workshop for young writers and bloggers at the end of 2009 . with these young men and women , they read case studies about egyptian women and stories by feminist writers , after which the young writers wrote their own stories . the second part of the workshop took place in the summer of 2010 with a selection of writers from the first workshop . more reading of cases and writing of stories followed .
in early 2009 , four of these storytellers formed their own group , ana el hekaya to further explore feminism and storytelling . the four are mona ibrahim , professor of poetry at cairo university and editor in chief of tiba , sahar el mougy , novelist , columnist and professor of poetry at cairo university and soha raafat , professor of novel at helwan university as well as seham saneya abdel salam , an anthropologist , translator and actress . they are also joined by eman salaheddin , a musician and composer .

i am free has a strong thematic focus on freedom . it also touches upon the feminist discourse emerging at the dawn of the gamal abdel nasser era and the new social dynamics that came with it .
set in the years leading up to the 1952 revolution , i am free starts with protagonist amina ( lubna abdel aziz ) standing on a balcony , in her school uniform , looking at young men in the street making comments about her . her aunt comes out and yells at her for making a scene .
amina lives with her aunt and uncle , who are conservative , controlling parents to her and her cousin ( hassan youssef ) , thwarting his dream to be a violinist .
amina’s whole struggle is to be free . she wants to do what she wants and be free of her conservative society . during the first half , her biggest aim is to go to university ( higher education was not common for women then ) and work to be financially independent .
i am free is also a joy to watch , with its visually descriptive scenes : when amina strolls happily through downtown cairo , having skipped school , for example , or when she plays music with her cousin . both scenes are shot beautifully , with acting that accurately transmits the rebellious struggle for freedom of a generation trying to challenge their conservative upbringings .
i am free is divided into four chapters separated by amina’s dreams . in these dreams she is met with her conscience , represented by a man’s voice . the image is captivating : a silhouette of amina in the middle of the frame with a spotlight behind her as she struggles with her thoughts .
in the first dream she is confronted by what freedom is , and decides to rebel against her family and do as she pleases with no care for the consequences .
the first chapter is shot in two contrasting ways . when she is home , the camera is close to the characters placing them firmly in the frame . while when amina is out on her own with friends , she is filmed from a distance , allowing more breathing room . this contrast helps us feel for her as the plot develops .
when amina takes control over her life , her reputation takes a nosedive in the neighborhood , with everyone talking about how improper she is . in one scene , she confronts the women with how hypocritical they are , saying she at least has the courage to do what she wants .
in a series of encounters , amina proves she is a strong character who is unwilling to compromise her rebellious nature , in a way so firm it is almost spoon - fed to the viewer . but the social double standards toward women she speaks of continue to this day .
in the second chapter , she has obtained her freedom but spends most of her time partying . realising she needs to take responsibility for the freedom she’s earned , she then starts studying hard and succeeds with high grades .
the film highlights the patriarchal society of the time in several scenes , but one part in particular stays with me : although she’s against marriage she agrees to meet a suitor and is taken by his intellect and interest in culture . quickly he starts to tell her how to dress and that she does not need an education , however , so she leaves him .
at this point her dream conscience confronts her on marriage . while her biggest fear is to be trapped and enslaved by a husband , her conscience brings her attention to ideas of sacrifice and understanding .
this is the point when amina’s definition of freedom is questioned , and when the film starts to conform to contemporary standards of cinema and society , diverting from its striking content on freedom . but we don’t get a full sense of this dismissal of all her earlier struggles until the last chapter .
when she’s moved in with her father and starts working in marketing for a petroleum company , it’s surprising and impressive to see the focus shift from her freedom as a woman in a conservative society to the freedom of an employee in a large company , a more gender - neutral issue .
surrounded by signs saying “your time belongs to the company” and “no personal phone calls during work hours , ” she is forced by her employer to take work home and has no time to enjoy the freedom she worked so hard for .
abdel aziz does a good job portraying both amina’s pride at having achieved her goal and her simultaneous frustration at the trap she is in . her father , played by mohamed abdel quddous ( the writer’s off - screen father ) , also adds a strong comedic sense here , so it succeeds both in its message and in entertaining .
the fourth chapter is the weakest part of an otherwise profound and enjoyable film . her conscience tells her to find a cause to utilize her freedom for , to compensate for the emptiness she feels . instead of being true to herself , though , she follows her love interest ( shoukry sarhan ) in his political activism against british colonialism .
the shortcomings of the finale are in part due to the story taking a non - feminist turn , but also because both sarhan’s over - the - top acting and the progression of the script ( by naguib mahfouz ) into the relationship fail to follow the tactfully presented themes of the rest of the film .
in spite of this deterioration , what’s really striking about this film is its depth in tackling the subject at hand . it’s philosophical , with a moving story tackling women’s emancipation , conservationism , workers’ rights and the freedom of an entire nation from colonialism .
abu seif made film adaptations of several of abdel quddous’ novels during this period , resulting in al - wesada al - khalya ( the empty pillow , 1957 ) , la anam ( i don’t sleep , 1956 ) and al - banat wal seif ( girls and the summer , 1960 ) . though not as progressive as i am free , all had female characters in the lead role .
but both abu seif’s and abdel quddous’ other works also tend to focus on women as leading the story . the same can be said for abu seif’s al - zouga al - thanya ( the second wife , 1967 ) and shabab emra’a ( a woman’s youth , 1956 ) , as well as abdel quddous’ al - nadara al - sawdaa ( the black sunglasses , film 1963 ) and embratoreyet meem ( empire of m , 1972 ) .

the greatest movies usually present a powerful story that inspires us to be better people . with some of the most inspiring female characters who faced social challenges , broke norms , and were great role models , here are some great egyptian movies that left a unique mark in history .
the open door , released in 1963 , is a revolutionary movie that represented the egyptian woman taking empowering roles in society . it all started with laila , who challenged the outdated norms of her society , which restricts her to being a housewife , while men are destined to be free and express themselves through work . she believed that she could create success in both home and work , but couldn’t fully express her thoughts due to suppression from her dad and her fiancé . meanwhile , she meets her brother’s revolutionary friend , hussein , who proves that not all men are like her father , which encourages her to start a journey to discover herself . played by the great actress faten hamama , laila decides to leave her fiancé and travels with hussein to pursue her dreams . this is the first movie to show egyptian women joining protests and revolting against injustice . expressing her ideas and beliefs , discovering herself and going on an adventure to prove herself , laila opened the door for egyptian women to freedom and empowerment .
this is the story of esmat , played by the great actress shadya , who gets promoted at the same company where her husband works and becomes his manager . the husband feels proud of her and encourages her to succeed in her new post , but then his enthusiasm decreases as he discovers that she treats him differently at work than she does at home . the movie comes as a surprise as it breaks the norms of having the wife in a higher position than the husband . it also presents a unique role model of the hard working woman who succeeds in both personal and professional life .
this is another story about a professional woman who succeeded in a male - dominated field . fatma , played by faten hamama , became a lawyer after finishing her college education . she was living in the same building with adel , who was a lawyer too and graduated with fatma . although fatma had higher grades than adel , clients wouldn’t hire her , just because she was female . so , her office was empty , while people lined up to seek legal consultations from adel . that was the case until adel was falsely accused of murder . then , fatma stepped in as his lawyer and used her knowledge , intelligence , and resourcefulness to prove him innocent . the movie breaks the stereotypes of women being less successful in certain fields than men , and proves their abilities to gain respect and professionalism in all they aim for .
this movie is one of the most controversial movies as it discusses a very sensitive issue . asmaa , played by actress hend sabry , is a widow with a daughter , lives with her father , works as a cleaner at the airport , and has aids . it is inspired by a true story of an aids patient who had to face that her society thought that aids was only acquired through wrongful doings . although asmaa tried to hide her hiv status , she didn’t stop working or run away to hide when people found out . along with her struggle , it was how people treated her that hurt her the most . nevertheless , she decides to talk about her suffering in a talk show to correct people’s misconceptions , and to give hiv patients some hope and to urge them not to give up . this is the first egyptian movie to discuss this issue , and to present the real facts of the disease through the story of a courageous simple egyptian woman .
in this movie , we find three interesting stories played by three strong female characters , facing the problem of sexual harassment in egypt . the movie is inspired by real stories of women who suffered from harassment , and its name was taken from the name of a public bus , in which one of the characters often was harassed . the three characters are from different social classes , yet they suffer the same offenses in different parts of egypt . nilly , played by nahid al sebaee , is a middle - class young woman who decides to file a case in court for being sexually harassed , which has never been done before . seba , played by nilly karim , is a rich woman who gets assaulted publicly in one of egypt’s squares , which causes her to lose her baby . her husband doesn’t support her , so she decides to divorce him , and starts an organization that aims to stand against harassment and to call for support from society . the third character , faiza , played by boshra , is a young , poor , conservative wife , who can’t afford any other mean of transportation except the public bus , in which she gets harassed daily . the three women get together to raise people’s awareness about the struggles they face and to demand justice from the offenders .
at the end of the 1990s , a group of academics , writers and researchers interested in feminism began a storytelling project . now , more than ten years later , these women continue to tell their stories with the magic of their soothing voices , exciting tales and the intoxicating music of the oud .
these stories were told in a recent storytelling event called ‘fi intizar el nour’ ( waiting for the light ) at the oriental hall at the american university in cairo to an ecstatic crowd .
another performance of ‘fi intizar el nour’ is expected to take place in the near future . this is a performance you wouldn’t want to miss : for more information , visit their facebook page .

as solange knowles wisely said “very often… the outspoken women are painted as angry and bitter spirits . the outspoken men are praised as revolutionaries and heroes . ” this often applies in the film industry ; however , you’d be pleasantly surprised to see that some egyptian movies have been able to break the stereotypes and tell the stories of inspiring women . from vintage 70’s dramas to modern - day productions , we’d like to point out some out - of - the - box egyptian movies that feature strong female leads .
the story is quite controversial , as it tackles some sensitive subjects , and some scenes may have been considered explicit at the time . although the ending may seem a bit idealistic , the film never fails to capture the frustration of becoming a woman in a society that refuses to see women as anything more than potential wives or mothers .
afwah wa araneb , directed by henry barakat , is an egyptian drama film that tells the story of neamat ( faten hamama ) , a single woman living in a rural village with her sister , her alcoholic brother - in - law , and their children . when her brother - in - law tries to forcefully marry her to a wealthy man , neamat runs away to mansoura where she works at a farm . she falls in love with the owner who brings back her hope , and they plan to get married . she goes home to inform her family , only to find out that her brother - in - law has found a way to legally marry her without her knowledge…
the movie addresses a variety of issues , including social inequalities , social mobility , and divorce . the main character is one we can definitely look up to : despite having been lied to , mistreated and disrespected by the men in her life , she decided to take her own destiny in charge , and fought for her right to marry the man of her choice .
this egyptian drama , directed by mohamed khan , tells the story of two working - class women , hind and kamelia . hind ( aida reyad ) is a rural widow , who moves to the city after her husband’s death and works as a maid to provide for her mother and sisters . kamilia ( naglaa fathy ) is a divorced woman who lives with her brother and also works as a maid to support him and his family . the story focuses on the growing friendship between the two women , their struggle , and the obstacles they face as they struggle to create a better life for themselves . the film also sheds light on some important societal issues like poverty and domestic abuse .
directed by mohammed khan , this painfully realistic egyptian drama follows the life of hiyam ( yasmin raeis ) , an impoverished 21 year old worker in a textile factory . hiyam falls in love with her supervisor , and soon finds out the attraction is mutual . when rumors of a pregnancy emerge , out of pride , she does not defend herself , but instead , sees an opportunity to free herself from a society which allows no deviation from traditions . but freedom comes at a very high price , and the young woman faces cruel consequences for her alleged misbehavior .
the film brilliantly captures the lives of working - class women , in an environment dictated by a strict and oppressive moral code , disguised as “religion . ” it serves as an eye - opener , and reminds us that even though the privileged social classes have become more accepting of personal freedom , the less fortunate still struggle with extreme conservatism .
in terms of how women are treated and perceived , egypt still has a ways to go . but as you can see , some filmmakers have had the courage to address the issues , and hopefully , films like those mentioned in this article might help get the message through .

arab writers - already under attack by muslim radicals and censors - may have a new enemy . a publisher is accused of tampering with the works of several famous authors , including nobel prize winner naguib mahfouz .
a suit charges the maktabet misr publishing house with slashing steamy love scenes and toning down the characters of women shown as independent with an eye toward sales in conservative saudi arabia . other supposed changes , particularly in mahfouz ' s works , were seemingly without reason .
helmy el - nemnem , a cultural reporter who first discovered the tampering , called maktabet misr ' s manager , salah el - sahar ,
a frustrated writer
for injecting his own words .
maktabet misr - arabic for
library of egypt
- is charged with making changes in 36 books by the late ihsan abdel qaddous , three by mahfouz and one by the late youssef idris , known as the father of the egyptian short story .
a trial on the suit had been set to begin monday but was postponed until next month because the court was overwhelmed with cases . since cairo courts are notoriously slow , the trial could run on for months .
abdel qaddous , who died in 1990 and whose novels were later adapted as popular movies , seems to have suffered the most . his two sons , outraged at the changes , have brought three suits against the publisher for three novels .
usually if a book is not approved of , it is banned altogether - but never changed . this is a disgrace ,
said one of the sons , mohammad abdel qaddous .
el - sahar denied allegations that he modified the works of mahfouz and idris and called the changes in abdel qaddous ' s books
corrections .
in previous interviews he said he had permission for the changes .
he was quoted in the magazine october as saying he altered abdel qaddous ' works to market them in
a gulf country ,
presumably saudi arabia . moves to tone down writing are not surprising considering the growing constraints put on egypt ' s authors by religious conservatism .
last year , mahfouz , who is 83 and won the nobel prize for literature in 1988 , was stabbed by an islamic radical . his works and those of other authors have been censored by the government for touching on religious sensitivities .
even egyptian movies , once known for liberal scenes , have gotten more conservative to satisfy conservative tastes .
in maktabet misr ' s version , her words are followed by
and she thought in her ignorance that marriage is a restriction , and she lived a corrupt life because of her incorrect understanding of freedom .

it is a love story . suriya and preetha forcibly fall in love with each other . how thier love started , what were the problems and how they rectified those problems , is the story for sandhippoma . radhika and saratbabu rise above the crappy material and give a strong and steadfast performance , lending some credibility to this atrocious waste of celluloid time . prakashraj and ambika are also reasonably good in their respective roles .

meena is trying to act costly these days . earlier she had signed a movie called
vandaanga jeyichanga
directed by guru dhanapal . initially she easily spared a huge chunk of her dates for this satyaraj starrer . but all in a sudden , she stopped cooperating , with a firm demand to hike her rate . she argued that she has been giving consistent hits in tamil and so she would not settle for anything less than rs . 21 lakhs . but as a result of her stand , finally meena is out of
vandaanga jeyichanga
.
besides , in her interviews meena always expresses her desire to act with vijay , the most successful tamil hero of today . but when she was approached to act with vijay in
priyamudan
, meena declined the offer for some unknown reasons . similarly due to unavailability of dates , meena had to lose
yendrentrum kaathal
, another vijay - starrer too .
in her losing spree of movies ,
maavilakku
is another one .
maavilakku
had both meena and jayaram as the leads . but when jayaram lost his popularity in a short time , he was promptly replaced by ajeet . as soon as he became the hero of the movie , ajeet demanded and got meena out of
maavilaku
. the inside story is , during a stage - performance in singapore , ajeet did make some unwanted passes at meena . but infuriated mother of the actress , scolded ajeet in front of everyone .
while she is ready to lose movies after movies in tamil , meenas telugu market seems to be promising again . meena once popular in telugu , soon lost her place to ramyas and soundaryas . but her new movie in telugu with venkatesh , the remake of tamil
suriyavamsam
, is declared to be a box - office hit . with this success in hand , meena is trying to stage a come back in telugu . in the process , she probably does not mind losing a movie or two in tamil , where star compensation is said to be much lower than telugu .
tamil movie industry is in dire straits . in 1997 , some 70 movies were released . this year it looks like this number wont cross 50 even . there are 25 movies on the floor and out of them only 8 are said to be actively under - production .
gemini color lab has declared a 3 day a week schedule , because they do not have enough work . a dubbing theater , which used to gross rs 3 lakhs a month , got only rs 1 , 000 in june . four major preview theaters in chennai , which used to make over 60 shows a month , did not have even 30 in june . prasad studios did not have a single film unit working there , except for an odd tv commercial maker . obviously , the industry that entertain millions is in deep trouble . hope it is just a passing phase and the industry will be resilient enough to recover from this ugly predicament .
soundarya is the numero uno actress in telugu . she is the one lady who debunked the telugu industrys norm of expose - and - succeed , a rare feet which could make even sridevi envy . this fully clad beauty is said to demand a cool rs 25 lakh per film and that too without any hitch !
subsequent to
arunachlam
and
kadhala kadhala
, there is a great demand for her in tamil too . but the busiest lady in telugu does not accept any tamil projects for the lack of time .
recently soundaraya is keen on entering the national market with a new hindi movie , a remake of the tamil original
suriyavamasm
. in the hindi version , soundarya is doing devayanis role and she is paired with abishek bachan , the big bs son .
simran is the heroine of the new movie
kannedire thondrinaal
produced by shiva shakti pandian . pandians earlier movies
vaanmathi
,
kaadal kottai
,
kallamellam kadal vazga
and
kaadale nimati
, were all family - oriented movies with no scope for glamour or titillation . on the contrary the heroine of his current project is non other than the
kavarchi - pooyal
( translated roughly as glamour - cyclone ) simran herself .
no way . .
says pandian . he maintains , like his other movies even
kannedire thondrinaal
will also be a family entertainer with very little scope for glamour or exposing . may be she would appear in modern dresses , but nothing more than that !
but the next question we have is , why simran . . . why not devayani or suva luxmi kind of heroines ? this apparently looks like a total misuse of simrans talents ! with simran fully clad for
kannedire thondrinaal
, no wonder prashant the aiswarya - stuck hero of the movie , is reported to be voraciously reading
mahabharat
in the sets !
ramki , a hero of several low - budget movies , has finally come out open on his clandestine affair with nirosha . though there were several stories published in many magazines , he never bothered to accept or deny his relationship with her . for late - comers , nirosha is a tamil heroine of late eighties and character actress radhikas sister . among her movies , notable ones are agninakchatrum , surasamhaaram and mainthan .
responding to a report about their alleged secret marriage , published in a local daily , ramki maintained that there is no truth in that story . however , he revealed that their marriage is definitely on the cards , probably sometime next year . since both his family and niroshas family approve of their marriage , ramki asserts that there is no need for them to go for a secret marriage .
meanwhile it is reported that nirosha is already staying in one of the houses owned by ramki . but when a reporter from a tamil daily , tried to contact her at that house , nirosha was indifferent and curtly drove the reporter away !
during the making of the movie
engineer
at kaaraikudi , looks like madhuri dixt , the heroine of the movie , had special privileges like a room with air - conditioner , attached bath - room etc . when there was a question about such special treatment for the heroine only but not for the hero aravindswamy , soon he too got all those amenities for himself . but the pity is aravinds salary in engineer is much less than what is paid to madhuri , the ex - queen bee of bollywood . well , this time . . . it is going to be difficult for aravindswamy to claim parity with la dixit , when it comes to his salary .
after a dull start of
jeans
, people predicted prashanth would have no future in tamil movies . even sivashakthi film wanted to fire prashant out of their project
kannedire thondirinaal
. but prashanth soon responded and reduced his compensation to retain his role . currently ,
kannedire thondirinal
is rapidly progressing . also , as soon as he got some positive feedback on the box - office performance of
jeans
, ashok amirthraj has decided to retain prashanth for their next venture too . besides , agathiyan , kavithalaya and
chinna vadiyar
fame tns are the other people who have signed prashanth for their next movies . after his long absence from tamil movies due to
jeans
, finally prashant seems to enjoy the fruits of his patience .
being jinxed in tamil , ramya shifted to telugu movies to become one of the most successful actresses of that industry with her oomph , generous exposures and not to mention about her erstwhile mentor raghavendra roa . once her competition in telugu has become stiff with the new arrivals like soundarya , saakchi and raasi ( manthra ) , ramya tried to get an entry into bollywood with her david dawan connection . but when her
banarasi babu
with govinda turned out to be a damp squib at the box - office , there are no takers for ramya in hindi too .
so now this tamil girl is trying to come back home with the new tamil movie
athai mahan
. ramya will be one of the heroines of
athai mahan
a karthik statter with the other heroine being swathi .
while working for his recent release
priyamudan
, vijay had an accident and hurt his spine . later he and his parents ( s . a . chandrasekar and shoba ) visited uk to treat his ailment . in the process they have also found a girl for vijay now !
on june 22 , vijay was celebrating his birthday in london . during this occasion , chokalingam an industrialist was visiting them with his wife and daughter sangeeta . when vijays parents saw sangeeta , they were very impressed with the way she carried herself and instantly decided that she alone would be the future bride for their son .
like an obedient son , vijay has also agreed to marry sangeeta , but after two years . because he is currently concentrating more on his career .
incidentally sangeeta , a student of medicine , is a srilankan tamil , whose parents migrated to uk long back .
it is a well known fact that maestro illaya raja and kaviyarasu vairamuthu cannot stand each other and won ' t work for any film together . recently director cheran had a song for his
desiya geetham
written by vairamuthu . but when raja came to know about it , he was upset and said he wont work in the project , provided vairamuthus song won ' t make into the movie . subsequently the disputed song was dropped and raja had his own way !
ramba always denied that simrans arrival has not hurt her career even a bit . however at the moment , she seems to have lost the race to simran with not that many tamil projects in her hand . also with her telugu market less promising , she is slowly expediting the possibilities of entering into malaylam movies . it is to be noted here that ramba made her debut as an actress first in a malayalam movie .
knowing that her glamour would not fly in malayalam , this sexy siren is already concentrating on her acting skills rather than her diminishing costumes .
incidentally , ramba counts largely on her new hindi movie ,
gharwali , bhaharwali
. in this anil kappor - raveena starrer , ramba is the second heroine and if it succeeds it could enhance the prospects of rambas sagging bollywood career .
initially the mega budget movie
jeans
from shanker was thought to be a fiasco . many blamed prasanth for its believed failure . so much so , a gang of people stormed into prasanths home with rotten eggs and tomatoes to show their disapproval !
now the scene has completely changed with the movie fast approaching towards its hundredth day and shanker seems to have gone beyond his hat trick with a clean double double .
interestingly , the dubbed hindi version of
jeans
went belly up . hardly within few days after its release , the movie was taken out of the bollywood circuit . in this connection , here is a comical reference to its failure , quoted from a popular bollywood magazine :
even aishwaryas finely rounded bottom could not save the film (
jeans
) from ripping at the seams . people just were not interested in the film . may be it has got to do with the new swadeshi movement in the country . may be the film should have had an indian name . how about langoti , khadi , dhoti , chaddi , lungi , etc . ? sounds as good as any ol jeans !
jokes apart , basically the audience in the north failed to recognize anyone else in the movie other than ash . bad dubbing , confusing double roles and flaky story line are the other attributes for its failure in hindi . nonetheless , financially it was not a great loss because the hindi version of this film , costing over rs 20 crores was sold only for a meager rs 80 lakhs !
also , with
jeans
songs in hindi losing ground , it is yet another set - back to a . r . rahman in bollywood . it is to be remembered that he was not that successful with his earlier hindi movie
duad
too .
as for aishwarya , it is her second consecutive flop in hindi since her debut in
aur pyar ho gaya
and this has made her rivals like manisha gleeful .
currently , both manisha and aishwarya are not in talking terms , because eariler aishwarya had stolen many good projects that were specially slated for manisha . but after the failure of
jeans
, it is manisha who is having the last laugh ! she openly goes around telling that her jeans are not washed out . also manisha believes that all her directors would realize her worth only after they have worked with other girls . probably , director shankar could be one of them , who had worked with manisha in ' hindustani ' but did not repeat her in his next film . may be he too would realize her value by now , like mani ratnam who took her again in ' dil se ' after his close encounter with ash in ' iruvar ' .
the glamour wave created by simran has a definite impact on many tamil heroines . from meena to less known
karuthama
rajasri , everyone in the industry is ready to bare their heart and soul . rajasri particularly is all out to wipe out her village girl image , with her exciting photo sessions filled with liberal exposures .
another one who is desperate to expose for success is easwari roa , the
raman abdulla
girl . in her forthcoming movie
guru paarvai
, easwari appears in a titillating bathing scene under a water fall , clad in a transparent sari with nothing else to cover her top . well , dont have too much hope on this scene guys , because it is doubtful it could escape the hungry pair of scissors from the censor board !
recently a popular tamil weekly , exposed sarath kumar and a famous movie couple about their attempts to threaten and coerce nagama to marry sarath .
but nagma managed to get out this predicament with the help of a high level political source in tamil nadu and moved back to her original head quarters , mumbai . from mumbai nagama is now on an interview spree to bollywood magazines , talking a lot about her broken relationship with sarath .
incidentally its nagamas second failure in her relationships , with the earlier one being with rajeev kapoor son of the greatest showman raj kapoor .
as an aftermath of their split , nagma is replaced by kanaga in saraths new movie
simma rasi
.
simma rasi
is directed by erode sounder and it also has kushbu , vineeth , manivannan , ananda raj , r . sundar rajan , manorama , ' thalai vaasal ' vijai and others . music for the movie is scored by s . a . raj kumar .
last month actress gowthami got married to sandeep bhatia an industrialist from mumbai , under thrilling circumstances . like it happens in movies , while gouthami was eagerly looking forward to sandeep for the muhurat , the johnny - come - lately groom showed up pretty late , guess what ? . . during
yemagandam
, an inauspicious hour !
looks like bhanupriya too is married now ! . recently , bhanu was in the us to visit her sister nishanti ( remember her in
enga oru pattukkaran
? ) .
as it turned out to be , she met this handsome six - foote , adarsh keshav and got attracted to him . subsequently , the couple got married at the sri venkateswara temple in malibu california on june 14 .
right now , bhanu is in the usa with her husband adarsh , who is a hyderabadi , settled in the united states as a computer digital graphics engineer .
besides bhanus mother , her sister nishanti , her husband and a handful of the groomss relatives , nobody else was present during this wedding .
young actress , revealing her behind the screen ordeals and adventures . with each episode turning cruder than other , the story of this actress is nothing but a soft - porn , exposing various popular movie personalities and their bedroom secrets .
these days sivakumar willingly agrees to play fatherly roles in movies , but with a restriction - he does not want to play father for surya ( his real son ) in movies ! recently he refused one such role in
sandipoma
, leaving prakash raj to play that role . sandipoma ' s heroine
is preetha vijayakumar , who is causing ulcers to many of her rivals by grabbing prestigious projects with many leading men like vijayakanth and sathyaraj .
monishas lead girl mumtaj has started speaking in tamil , thanks to t . rajendar . how did he managed to do that ?
hey . . . i have made even amala to speak tamil in my movies . making this girl speak tamil is a peice of cake
says t . rajendar .
in monisha t . rajendar appears in a character called
kaadal dasan .
for this role , his job is to sing an eve - teasing song on a college beauty queen sneka , along with other students .
interestingly , the versatile t . r writes story , screenplay and dialogue for this film . besides , he also takes care of the cinematography !
to make this venture a family affair , usha rajender works as the costume designer and for the first time silambarasan composes music for some of its songs .
most of the starcast of
monisha
are fresh faces with names like rahul saxena , mumtaj , sneha , ravi kishan , swathi paudekar and kunega .
recently tamil nadu government has announced
kalai maamani
award to seventy five people from the tamil movie industry . prominent among them are napoleon , vijay , prasant , meena , roja , manivannan , naazar , raghuvaran , director agathiyan and lyricist palani bharathi .
right from padmani days there were always star sisters invading the tamil cinema . we had ambika - radha and radhika - nirosha in eighties and now the trios nagma , roshini and jothika .
the latest addition to such star sibblings are simran and her sister monal . but for her nose , monal is said to be a look alike of simran .
initially monal had no interest in acting in movies . however when she was visiting her sister simran from mumbai , she has landed into a tamil movie pairing her with none other than prasanth !

handled the camera work . the film released in july 1998 . it was dubbed into telugu as
vishwa ( suriya ) and nilani ( preetha vijayakumar ) fall in love . her mother doesn ' t approve , but goes along with it . complications arise when vishwa exhibits
fashion
photos he ' s taken of nilani , which further upsets nilani ' s mother . then it comes to light that surya ' s father ( prakash raj ) had an affair , and things take a dramatic , tragic turn for the lovers . in the end , both families arrive at airport to prevent nilani from boarding the flight , but to their bad luck , they could not stop it . nilani commits suicide by swallowing poison from her ring and vishwa , who gets hit by a wall , turns mentally challenged with the behavior of a child .
actor sivakumar turned down the opportunity to play suriya ' s father in the film , and was replaced by prakash raj . [ 2 ]
urltoken strongly gave a negative review stating that it ' s basically supporting actors beheading the lead actors and why do actor ' s son and daughter come to act in movies and criticized suriya for his tedious face expressions . suriya and preetha vijayakumar could have just watched how prakash raj and raadhika emote during emotional scenes instead of participating as hero and heroine .

in this indian name , the name sivakumar is a patronymic , not a family name , and the person should be referred to by the given name , saravanan .
suriya is the eldest son of tamil film actor sivakumar and his younger brother karthi is also an actor . suriya married co - star jyothika in 2006 , after having been together for several years . in 2008 , he began agaram foundation , which funds for various philanthropic activities . the year 2012 marked his debut as a television presenter with the star vijay game show neengalum vellalam oru kodi , the tamil version of who wants to be a millionaire ? . in 2013 , suriya founded the production house 2d entertainment .
suriya was born in 1975 to tamil film actor sivakumar and his wife lakshmi as saravanan . he attended padma seshadri bala bhavan school [ 5 ] and st . bede ' s anglo indian higher secondary school in chennai , [ 6 ] and obtained his under graduate degree b . com from loyola college , chennai . [ 7 ] suriya has two younger siblings , a brother karthi and a sister brindha . [ 8 ]
suriya is married to jyothika , with whom he worked in as many as seven films . the couple , after being together for several years , got married on 11 september 2006 . [ 9 ] they have two children , a daughter diya ( born 10 august 2007 ) and a son dev ( born 7 june 2010 ) . [ 10 ] [ 11 ]
before his career in films , surya worked at a garment exports factory for eight months . to avoid nepotism , he did not reveal himself to his boss as sivakumar ' s son , but his boss ultimately learnt the truth himself . [ 12 ] [ 13 ] he was initially offered the lead role by vasanth in his film aasai ( 1995 ) , but he rejected the offer citing a lack of interest in an acting career . [ 7 ] he later debuted in vasanth ' s own 1997 film nerrukku ner , produced by mani ratnam when he was 22 years of age . the stage name suriya was bestowed to him by ratnam to avoid a clash of names with established actor saravanan . the name suriya was frequently used for characters in ratnam ' s films . [ 14 ] vijay , who would also go on to become a leading contemporary actor in kollywood , co - starred with him in the film . [ 15 ] this was followed by a series of roles in commercially unsuccessful films in the late 1990s . in 2001 , he starred in siddique ' s comedy film friends , also co - starring vijay .
suriya confessed that he struggled due to lack of confidence , memory power , fighting or dancing skills in his early career , but it was actor raghuvaran , one of his mentors , who advised him to create his own identity , rather than stay under his father ' s shadow . [ 16 ]
