By P. Sreekumaran

The’ migratory bird’ is homing in, at last. Stumped as to the identity of the person?

Well, it is none other than Mamta Mohandas , who had hopped over to neighbouring Tollywood after making her cinematic debut in Malayalam cinema.

Mamta did attract attention in her maiden film, ‘Mayookham. A realistic movie, directed by veteran Hariharan, saw Ms Mohandas impress with a subdued performance.

Bollywood diva Madhuri named for Padmi Shri

Bollywood diva Madhuri named for Padmi Shri

Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, who won many hearts with her million-dollar-smile and returned to the silver screen with Aaja Nachle after a five-year hiatus last year, has been named among the Padma Shri awardees this year.

The ravishing actress has several hits to her credit, including Tezaab, Dil, Dil To Pagal Hain and Devdas.

Though her comeback film, after marriage to a US-based doctor and two kids, proved to be a dud at the box office, Madhuri remained unfazed. "I have never been a part of number game and we are not the racing horses who should be numbered. Either the work you do is good or bad. I have come back not because I miss the media archlights or being written about... it's secondary. I missed my craft!" she was quoted as saying.

No second chance in Bollywood: Amrita Rao

No second chance in Bollywood: Amrita Rao

Monday, 14 January , 2008, 14:40

Bollywood actress Amrita Rao, who struck gold with her girl-next-door look in Vivah, is back after a year-long gap with My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves. She says that she doesn't take any chances while selecting projects.

"I was working for the Telugu film Athidhi. Also, my films, which are slated for release this year, kept me occupied," Amrita told IANS.

"I have always been very careful about picking up projects because there is no second chance in Bollywood. If you go wrong with a movie you have to pay a very heavy price.

"I must say I am very selective. But I wouldn't deny being fortunate as good projects came my way. Otherwise, I would have just dreamt about doing something different," she said on her recent visit to the national capital.

The actress, who is essaying the role of an assistant director in My Name..., started her stint in the film industry with Ab Ke Baras. She earned rave reviews for her performance in films like Masti and Main Hoon Na.

Bollywood's sexiest singers

Bollywood's sexiest singers

Earlier, a good voice was the only critera to sing playback in the movies. But today, the stress seems to be on looks as well.
Good grooming seems to be as big a requirement as singing well. Reality shows know this well, and make sure their top contestants look better as the rounds progress.

Of course, this sweeps in Bollywood music as well. After all, stage shows are a big part of today's music scene, and even Himesh Reshammiya goes to extremes to cut an image for himself.
