“It was a serious, issue-based film…”

August 7, 2006

“…where I hardly got to wear even a pair of jeans.” Minissha Lamba on her first film, Yahaan.

One sincerely hopes she got to wear something.

And here’s Bipasha Basu talking to CNN-IBN’s Anuradha SenGupta:

Bipasha Basu: Being a model, I knew what fashion was. But looking at some of the outfits that I wore in my first film Ajnabee, I sometimes say “Oh my god! What am I wearing? What is kind of make-up was I wearing in that film?”

I was asked to wear a dark-coloured lipstick, which does not suits me at all. Now when I look back, I realise all these things.

Anuradha SenGupta: So, you keep looking back at your work? That is like having a critically eye.

Bipasha Basu: Yes, I do that all the time.

(CNN-IBN really needs to proofread its transcripts)

Meanwhile, one of the conspiracy theories floating around about Omkara’s supposed lukewarm run at the box-office is that women are being paid to walk out of the film. Well, I’ve seen the film twice already (we managed to see it yesterday evening, during a short window in the downpour - yesss) and I didn’t see anything, uh, incriminating. The sense of dramatic intrigue getting to the Omkara team, maybe? Anyway, this time I liked the film even more.

  1. What more do you expect? Nailpolish shades and matching shoes and designer dresses means world to them, at least for most of them.
