Comeback Queen!

Fanaa- Read latest review Apr 19, 2006. [Link]

The secret is out ... and you would have definitely heard it. But it doesn't hurt to say it once more- right? I am probably as excited about as you are.

The girl-next-door Kajol (pic on left) is staging a comeback in Yash and Aditya Chopra's Fanaah, being directed by Kunal Kohli. One website proclaims her as the finest actress on the planet! She's a pretty charming actress: it would have been surprising if it hadn't been so- after all her dad is Somu Mukherjee, mother is Tanuja, Nutan for Aunt, Rani Mukherjee (pic below) and Monish Behl as cousins, and of course Shobhna Samarth as grand-mother.

She gave a string of fine performances in over 25 films, which included DDLJ, Gupt, Minsaara Kanavu, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (KKHH), Kabhi Khushi Kabhhi Gam (KKKG) to name a few, and won 7 Filfare awards. She married her co-star Ajay Devgan and suddenly quit films altogether after KKKG in 2001. Kajol did make a guest appearance in Kal Ho Na Ho for the song Maahi Ve in 2003.

Fanaah has quite a brilliant cast besides Kajol- Aamir Khan (pic on left), Tabu, Shiny Abraham And Abhishek Bachchan. This is Kunal's 3rd major film after Hum Tum and Mujhse Dosti Karoge. Definitely ever-reliable Aamir might steal all the limelight, but Kajol was desperately missed for all these years and I am sure all the fans are waiting with bated breath for this release in 2006.

Fanaah- what's that word? The last time I heard, it was the song Fanaah in Yuva.
