Qalandar

I promise somewhat irregular posts on (in no particular order) Indian politics, cinema, and anything else that catches my fancy... Why "Qalandar"? So-called "liminal" religious traditions are a particular interest of mine, and "qalandar" is the sort of untranslatable, ambiguous, yet enormously evocative word that for me touches upon and articulates the experience of the sub-continent's "little" traditions in a particularly memorable way...not to mention the fact that in popular lingo the word has more than a merely religious/spiritual connotation, and can mean a bunch of other things, including a smart alec, wannabe, what-have-you...



[Rooney from the Shoutbox requested me to put this up; the actress in question is a classmate of his -- Qalandar]

Hey guys! Meet my classmate of law college, Madhurima Banerjee, the beautiful bong, who is making her debut in the Hindi Movie “Toss”. A perfect combination of grace and beauty, she has a killer smile. One look at her and you can see the potential she has, to make it big in Tinsel town. In my opinion, she is one of the most beautiful girls I have seen of the newer lot. She has the hard working streak in her to sail through the rigors of any challenge. She is completely determined and focused on her career.

Knowing her personally as a classmate, I believe that she has the capability to portray a wide range of emotions and establish herself as a very good actor. I have observed that she is a good orator and she has all the oomphs and adas that can sizzle the screen. I also feel that she has a very photogenic face which is meant for camera and the camera only. A face that you see once, you shall not forget. She will fit the bill of modern day Bollywood heroine and can very easily carry the Gennext image that most of us would like to see in Bollywood movies.

From my knowledge of Bollywood, I am sure that she will soon be in the big league and her dreams will be fulfilled. She is definitely star material. A girl to watch out for. A diva.. A GLAM DIVA to the core. Thus leading me to conclude that within few years she will be a name to reckon with. My best wishes to you Madhhurima.

Career-

She began her acting career with a government project, ‘Kadambari’ at the age of 15, for which she was spotted at a music recording studio by the world famous director, GV Iyer who had made the first Sanskrit film in the world, ‘Adi Shankaracharya’. I must mention here that Madhhurima is a good singer too. She debuted in Bollywood with the suspense thriller “Toss”. While waiting for the release of TOSS, she enacted woman oriented lead roles in Telugu movies ‘Aa Okkadu’ and ‘Mounaragam.
Catch Madhurima in TOSS at a theatre near you on August 28th 2009.

I wish her all the best for her Hindi debut.
