    >> Zeenat danced to Laila Main laila from Qurbani.

Urmila in a celebratory mood

    Urmila Matondkar was spotted in a colourful mood while exiting Shabana Azmi's party

    Urmila Matondkar made an appearance at Shabana Azmi's 60th birthday bash at a hotel in Juhu where the actress was spotted leaving the venue post 1.30 am in a celebratory mood.

    Action replay, anyone? Vipul Shah helped Urmila Matondkar out and into the lift at the exit several times.

    Maybe it was at the prospect of meeting her Masoom co-star (Urmila was a child star in the film) or Urmi was generally in a happy mood but the actress appeared to be in great spirits while leaving the party!

    She first emerged out of the lift at the exit with filmmaker Vipul Shah giving her a helping hand. The Rangeela star then decided to go back into the elevator with the Action Replayy producer following suit. After going up and down in the lift several times, the star then decided to step out.


    She waved to onlookers as she stood solo at the exit and then latched on to another guy who led her to her car.

    Still holding on... To whosover wants to help me out!

IIFA weekend opens amidst uncalled for controversies

    The IIFA Awards '08 weekend kick starts in exotic Bangkok from today (June 6). And even before the actual function starts, organizers Wizcraft Entertainment found themselves in a soup with some stars throwing tantrums while others landing themselves in uncalled for trouble.

    Among the first stars to troop in Bangkok were close friends Urmila Matondkar and star designer Manish Malhotra. However, the she didn't have the most pleasant welcome in Bangkok as she was asked by the hotel staff to wait for a while for her room keys. Needless to say, Madame Matondkar threw a fit and cooled down only after the organizers stepped in.

    This was just one of the instances. Another embarrassing moment was at the Bangkok airport itself, when Rajeev (Chimpoo) Kapoor was held by the cops as he was in an inebriated state. Apparently, the actor-director was so drunk that he couldn't even tell his name properly at the immigration counter. Not a perfect start for the IIFA weekend one would say.

    However, on the brighter side the IIFA weekend promises quite a lot of exciting events like the Gala Premiere of Sarkar Raj and some dazzling performances on the awards night. One of the hottest stars in Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor, is set to perform a special act in which she would appear as 'The Goddess of Bollywood'. Bebo would be performing to her latest chartbusters from Tashan, Jab We Met etc. and would have a different theme for each song. The act has been choreographed by ace choreographer Shiamak Davar while Manish Malhotra would be designing Bebo's outfits.

Urmila sizzles with Himesh

    Himesh Reshammiya and Urmila Matondkar recently completed a 40-day outdoor in South Africa and Johannesberg for Satish Kaushik’s Karzzzz. They shot for some dramatic scenes on location and the pair will soon shoot an item song called Tandoori Nights.

    The item song that will soon be filmed on Urmila and Himesh has been sung by Himesh and Sunidhi Chauhan. Himesh says, “It’s a situation which Satishji created and the song is called Tandoori Nights.”

    This song was not part of the original Karz. Urmila is playing the character essayed by Simi Garewal in the original she didn’t have a song.

    Urmila plays a young as well as an older character in the film and the curiosity factor about her look on the film is big.

    Says Himesh, “Urmila’s glam look has been styled by Manish Malhotra, and producer Bhushan Kumar had a certain concept in mind and he told Manish what he wanted. It’s a blend of elegance and oomph, pastels with shimmer and satin.” Himesh’s look has been designed by his sister Rupa.

    This is the first time that Himesh will be seen with Urmila on screen and Himesh is full of praise for his co-star, “She’s a super professional artiste who is always on time and even after working for so many years in the industry she works for a scene like a newcomer; which is commendable.”

How stars celebrate their Holi-Day


    Urmila Matondkar: "I'll be working on Holi-day. So no Holi for me."

    Shabana Azmi: "It would be as usual an open house for friends and family for Holi at my parents' home in Janki Kutir. There will be a generous flow of non-toxic colours, gana-bajaana and khana…a long-standing tradition in our house as part of India's ganga-jumna tehzeeb.

    Shefali Shah: "My husband Vipul and I will be having a get-together at home. We'll have close friends over. Lots of food, bhang, out-of-tune karaoke, dumb charade…and lots and lots of laughter.

    Tusshar Kapoor: "I stopped playing Holi years back. But this year I'll have to attend the Holi bash specially arranged for my new film 123."

    Malaika Arora: "I won't be playing Holi this year as I'm holidaying in Dubai"

    Nandana Sen: "On Holi day I'll be traveling back from Khajuraho to Mumbai. I'll be coming home just for a day. I'll be sad missing Holi, though. It's my absolute favourite among the Holidays in our calendar.

    Manoj Bajpai: "I don't celebrate Holi. I hate being dirty with colour and mud."

    Riya Sen: "I'm not sure I'll be playing Holi or not. It'd depend on my mood."

    Koena Mitra: "I haven't played Holi during the last few years. This year I might go for a Holi bash being hosted by a dear friend. Since it's inside the house and only close friends are invited it'd be safe. I'll therefore go."

    Amrita Arora: "I'll be at home on holi. Who wants to step out?" Celina Jaitley: "I'm shooting on the day before Holi, so no masti. But I'll definitely put gulaal on my buddies

    Ravi Kissan: "Arrey bhaiya, making bhang with my own hands and giving it to friends. That's my pleasure for Holi that no one can take away."

    Anuraag Sinha: "This is my first Holi right after the release of my first film Black & White. I'm going to freak out with friends and family

    Mahesh Bhatt: "22nd March happens to be the day my friend and mentor U.G Krishnamurthy died. I don't play Holi. I'm going to Bangalore to release a book of mine that's been translated into Kannada.

    Jiah Khan: "I'm shooting, and I can't play Holi. I'd have loved to get splashed in colour! Holi is one of the most beautiful festivals of our country and it symbolizes our zest for fun.

    Aryan Vaid: "I'm not a big fan of Holi I'll be in Pune with friends, considering it's a long weekend.

Urmila goes mainstream after 5 years

    October 25, 2002; This was the date when Urmila Matondkar was last seen in a mainstream Bollywood 'masala' when Anees Bazmee's Deewangee (Ajay Devgan, Akshaye Khanna) released. A psycho thriller, the film was a hit.

    October 19, 2007; This is the date when Urmila Matondkar would be returning to mainstream cinema with the release of Vikram Bhatt directed Speed. A film that finds it's inspiration from Hollywood hit Cellular; it has Zayed Khan, Aftab Shivdasani and Tanushree Datta as added star attraction.

    But what was she doing all these five years? Doing a mix of unconventional and offbeat cinema which doesn't quite fall into an end to end commercial mainstream bracket. Pinjar (2003), Tehzeeb (2003), Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Maara (2005) and Banaras - A Mystic Love Story (2006) are just some of the examples.

    What would have made her choose to change tracks? Ponders Onir, director of Bas Ek Pal (2006) which starred her in a pivotal role, "There is a phase in every actor's career when you wish you were doing something different from the ordinary. I guess Urmila too wanted to switch tracks after playing a conventional leading lady for around a decade."

    The move apparently turned out to be counter-productive for her. She got critical acclaim for majority of her films but Box Office success evaded her. There were a couple of exceptions though with Ram Gopal Varma's last horror success Bhoot (2003) being decent while Naina (2005) managing to cover costs at some centers. In both the films, she had to enact the role of a woman who was troubled and petrified due to paranormal events in her life.

    "Don't blame an actor if a movie doesn't perform well", defends her Ek Haseena Thi (2004) director Sriram Raghavan. "If Ek Haseena Thi didn't quite make waves at the box office, it could be due to wrong promotional strategy, market placement or dozen other factors. Did anyone say that Urmila was bad in the film?"

    She may not have been bad but with nothing much happening in Bollywood, her 'Mehbooba' act in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag (2007) was termed by a few as a desperate attempt. Couldn't there have been a better way to return to limelight?

    Argues Sriram, "Firstly I haven't seen Aag. Secondly, I am sure that if the film would have worked, we all would have credited Urmila's dance number as one of the major reasons for the film's success." Concludes Onir, "Don't forget that during last 5 years, she has attempted to carry a movie on her own shoulders."

    Apart from Speed, Urmila would also be seen in a brief appearance as herself in Om Shanti Om. Come 2008 and she would be re-enacting the role made memorable by Simi Garewal in Himesh's remake of Karz.
