Priyanka Tries A GUINNESS RECORD

What Sivaji Ganeshan,Sanjeev Kumar and Kamal Haasan couldn't manage to achieve,our Priyanka Chopra does seem pretty sure of doing it. Ashutosh Gowariker's What's your Rashee does seem to be turning auspicious for Priyanka for her 12 roles ( I don't know whether to sigh or smirk at this point) in the movie. Well,in simple terms,that ought to be 12 times Priyanka in a single movie and that seems like 'apprehensive' news.

Priyanka has clearly beaten Sanjeev Kumar in Naya Din Nayi Raat, Sivaji Ganeshan in Navarathiri and of course Kamal Haasan in Dashavatharam for the sheer number of characters played.Hmmm.These are just numbers, yours truly believes. What matters is quality,don't you agree?At a time when the bold and distinct dividing line between 'stars' and 'actors' seems to be blurring at a rate faster than the releases kissing the dust,and the playing field progressively becoming blinded and bizarre with marketing spiels, one can only imagine.

Speaking of bizarre, and a case in point would be what happened on August 19th,2009 when the 12th Rajiv Gandhi Award for the Best Actress Award was given away to Ms.Katrina Kaif. Excuse me here, but with all due respect - ACTING?Did I really hear that right? Best Commercial Entertainer,Yes! Actress?..ummmm...I'm a little lost here.
Pigs do fly,Senor.Everything goes,as long as it brings in the moolah.

Speaking of flying, a flying Swami is working its magic down South,folks.Our Chiyan is lending his cape to the fiery proceedings on the Kollywood Box -Office. On an opening note of Rs 37 - Crore, Kanthasamy's two-year old debacle has paid off. Rs. 70 Crore is no laughing matter, and to have recovered half in the first week must have gladdened the heart of Susi Ganeshan ( who by the way,also does a cameo).Vikram needed this.And Kollywood is better off with it. After Bheema's release last Pongal (2008,if you please), Mr.John Kennedy a.k.a Vikram still proves the point that he can make the box-office soar.This time,with the help of a caped Kanthaswamy.
