That exemplified a very sensuous romance. Thanks for linking that. <br /><br />Yes, Akshay had a few of these types of songs. <i>I'd completely forgotten about <i>Tip tip barsa paani</i>. The one song I remember from that film was <i>Tu cheez badi hai mast mast</i>, which, to me, was synonymous with Raveena's graceless dance, made all the more so by Akshay's effortless grace. <br /><br /><br />For such a good dancer, Madhuri's turn in <i>Maha Sangram</i> was quite bad, wasn't it? I blame the choreography for it.</i>Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-60509642545512033442013-06-10T08:35:57.879-04:002013-06-10T08:35:57.879-04:00Chris, she was definitely the No.1 actress down so...Chris, she was definitely the No.1 actress down south when she made the transition to Hindi films, having done a mix of the usual glamour girl roles along with some very powerful ones. Off the top of my head, <i>Moondram Pirai, Pathinaru Vayathinale, Abhinandanam, Johnny, Varumayin Niram Sigappu, Meendum Kokila</i>... these are from Tamil and Malayalam. I'm sure her Telugu fans will be able to direct you to her best roles in that language.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-59411910001042476422013-06-10T08:29:13.698-04:002013-06-10T08:29:13.698-04:00Ah! *smacking head for overlooking the obvious*.

And that showed. My point is, you don't have to care about make-up, but if you are in a profession where looks and grooming are important, then please do take the trouble. And yes, as Madhu points out, the fashions, makeup and hairstyles were atrocious, and she really didn't have a good sense of dress. So, all in all, she looks much better, and is much more, well, put together, if you know what I mean.Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-24938154987887645492013-06-08T07:40:44.553-04:002013-06-08T07:40:44.553-04:00Yves poem though completely different brought to m...Yves poem though completely different brought to mind an English lyric from the middle ages that is somewhat lusty but evokes the cold cold New England spring rains.<br /><br />Westron wynde , when wilt thou blow:<br />The small raine, down can raine<br />So the small rain down can rain.<br />Cryst, if I my love were in my armes<br />And I in my bedde again.<br /><br />The original tune was used as a basis for a mass.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westron_Wynde<br /><br />The sitar surbahar duet that Mr. Agrawal mentioned is available on Spotify.<br /><br />I'll see if I can link to it here.SSWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-20203877112773047222013-06-08T02:01:33.929-04:002013-06-08T02:01:33.929-04:00Modern day rains are different (!)(?), but enjoyab...Modern day rains are different (!)(?), but enjoyable, nonetheless, and as much.Ashok M Vaishnavhttp://amvaishnav.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
