Looking back at 2005’s Nazar, Subhash K Jha shines the spotlight on the film, directed by Soni Razdan that featured the debut of Meera.

The heroine tries to smoulder over the sea-splashed boulder. Yup, the beach is back..and the intentions are bolder! Or so the film’s voluptuous publicity suggests. Alas, for those who expect a whole lotta oomph to be crammed into the thriller, there’s bad news.

Meera’s Bollywood debut proves her to be a competent actress. But she doesn’t have that oomphy quality which would have elevated the film’s mass-acceptance level.

Given its limitations, Nazar is a bit of a damp squib. The director Soni Razdan’s loose grip over her plot is matched by an absence of technical wherewithal in the story.

All through the longish drama, we are treated to the protagonist’s purportedly eerie hallucinations.

Meera can ‘see’ the dead before they die.

Actress Shazahn Padamsee, who is known for her work in movies like ‘Rocket Singh: Salesman of the year’, ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’, etc revealed why she wants to be known by her nickname Sashaa.

Talking about the same, Shazahn said she initially decided she wanted to be known by her nickname Sashaa simply because ‘it’s easier to pronounce’.

But she also feels that the name Sashaa which is an acronym of her real name, signifies both personal, and professional growth as the coming year holds exciting projects for her.

The daughter of legendary advertising and theater personality Alyque Padamsee, Sashaa has had a notable career in the entertainment industry.

She will be next seen in the upcoming Hindi film ‘Pagalpan Next Level’, in which she portrays the role of Harman Mann.

Having acted in Bollywood films like ‘Housefull 2’, Sashaa has garnered recognition and acclaim in the Indian film industry.

Kaamyaab

Starring Sanjay Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal,Sareeka Singh

Written & Directed by Hardik Mehta

Kaamyaab is a very rare and precious film. It takes us into the lives of those unsung senior artistes who are not ‘junior artistes’—that derogatory term given to the blur of people who stands in crowds – but aren’t stars neither.

We could call them the Nowhere People, na idhar ke na udhar ke…Think about Om Prakash, Kanhaiyalal, Manmohan Krishna, Nasir Hussain, Iftiker,…They are all gone remembered for the way they blended into the fabric of the films that they kept appearing in with stubborn persistence. Kaamyaab has quaint cameo space for all the fringe players. In fact the film is dedicated to one of them Viju Khote who passed away in October 2019.

But the film belongs to Sanjay Mishra who plays Sudheer a bit player like the potato in a vegetable dish which...
