Asin's London Dreams - Review

The much awaited Bollywood musical film London Dreams, directed by Vipul Shah has hit the worldwide screens today(Oct 30 2009). Starring Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn in lead roles, the film also features rising bollywood southie star Asin Thottumkal as the lead female character.

Asin, lovely to look at, is but a bizarre cross between a cheerleader and a groupie, whose talent lies in doing variations of the belly dance on stage. She joins the band at a make-or-break audition after this conversation: "Main kya karun?" she asks Rannvijay. "Just go with the flow," he answers. So, she shimmies and shakes a bit to impress the judges.

You may like London Dreams for its beautiful frames, some paisa-vasool moments between Salman and Devgn, a good background score and catchy songs. For the rest, you need willing suspension of disbelief. And large doses of it >> [ Read complete reviews ]

Today after conquering south India Asin is one of the hottest females in Bollywood following the success of her debut film Ghajini.

So now all eyes are on her as London Dreams is her big ticket to establish herself in Mumbai tinsel town. Asin's birthday celebrations started from Sunday evening at her home.

"Actually I hadn't slept at all. I had been working non-stop for 'London Dreams' for the last one week with just three-four hours of sleep. Anyway I'm making up for the exhausting week with the most peaceful and happy birthday of my life," Asin, who turned 24 Monday, told media.

Asin brought in her birthday with a quiet dinner on Sunday night with her close friends. 'It was eight of my closest friends at dinner. We had a ball. At midnight they made me cut a cake. I felt 12 years old again.'

Earlier in the evening, Asin arrived home to a big surprise. She said, “When I opened the door, the entire house was done up with balloons by my parents, just like they used to for my birthdays when I was a child. I had to burst quite a few balloons because there was no room to even walk. I’ve never felt happier.”

The second half of the day was devoted to spending time with the kids in her highrise apartment. She said, “Fortunately, there was enough cake and chocolates to go around. So it was great fun. This is the best birthday I’ve had.”

Asin is under tension as her second release in Bollywood London Dreams is opening on Friday October 30 worldwide. She is now on five city promotional tour for the film. [ Read more ]
