Ever-Beautiful (Late)Soundarya in Apthamitra!
On friday evening, i rented the (much awaited) VCD of the film 'Apthamitra' (Kannada)...This movie was on my wishlist from past 3-4 months...but due to one thing or the other, could not make it...but the time came day before for this! [Thatz y ppl say, everything is time dependant!] :)
The film is very good in this kannada version (i had seen the Tamil version, starring Rajnikanth, titled Chandramukhi, 2 months back, but somehow did not impress me much! The orginators of this movie are Malayalam folks, then came Kannada version and then Tamil version...wait for sometime, u vl get Telugu version and Hindi version also!!) where the ever beautiful (Late) Soundarya plays the role of the beautiful dancer 'Nagavalli' (i dont know why the name has been changed here, since the original Malayalam script had 'Chandramukhi' name for this dancer and the Tamil version also retained that and named the film after this lady!)
Soundarya has played superbly in this movie...Ironically, this was her last movie performance before her ill-fated death the week before this movie was to hit screens! :( She is/was/will be one of the finest actors of cinema, who won peoples' hearts by her smile, her charm, her acting, but not by exposing her skin in front of the cameras (like the ones' now...) Her memories will definitely be cherished by all her great fans for the years to come! RIP her soul...
Anyway, this film took my time on friday evening and saturday morning! It was worth watching the film...a very gud one! {That too a Commercial Kannada film, directed very decently, a family movie, which has become a super-hit and won Filmfare awards! U dont get this chance very easily...This has come after a huge gap of around 6-8 years , when 2 nice, decent, family movies (read: commercial) had hit Kannada screens, called 'Amruthavarshini' and 'Nammoora Mandara Hoove'...Both these films won filmfares and many other awards}
