Glam Girl Sonalee Kulkarni goes Bollywood way
After working as a model, Sonalee Kulkarni made her acting debut through Kedar Shinde‘s film ‘Bakula Namdeo Ghotale‘ exactly ten years ago. But, as an actress she shot into fame with her notable performance and brilliant dance skills through super hit Marathi film ‘Natarang’ in 2010. Till date, Sonalee has performed in about 22 films, including two Hindi films ‘Grand Masti‘ and ‘Singham Returns‘. Having played variety of roles in different films, she was at her best in films like ‘Mitwaa‘ and ‘Poshter Girl‘, when the directors of these two films exploited her potential.
No actress would admit that a particular role was her best, as she always waits for better and better roles. And, Sonalee Kulkarni is no exception. In the meanwhile, she is updating her social networking accounts, by regularly adding new photos in glamorous poses, on the lines of our Bollywood actresses. She not only releases her latest photos, but also writes suitable photo caption. At present, we find her as a judge in one popular comedy show on television, along with renowned film maker Mahesh Kothare. With her latest postings on social networking sites, we only hope that she finds better and suitable roles in Hindi and Marathi films, in near future. Till then, we can only wish her all the best.
Is Subodh Bhave the most popular actor today ?
We had seen the best from Subodh Bhave as an actor and director through the film ‘Katyar Kaljaat Ghusali‘. But, later, his films like ‘Bandh Nylon Che‘, ‘Fugay‘ and ‘Karar‘ were below expectations. However, one should not forget that Subodh Bhave carried with him the success of films like ‘Lokmanya‘,’Balgandharva‘ and few others. Moreover, he has never let down his directors or his well wishers, when it was judging his individual performance. He has always been at his best giving his 100% with total involvement into his character. Best example was his negative character in ‘BhoBho‘, which he performed very effectively. No wonder, he is still in demand, when a particular film maker is looking for a lead actor with spontaneity.
Incidentally, Subodh has two simultaneous releases ‘Hrudayantar‘ and ‘Conditions Apply‘ on coming Friday, followed by Govind Nihalani’s Marathi film ‘Tee Ani Itar‘ after a few days. There are three more films he has in hand. And, with experience of ‘Aiyya‘ in Hindi and ‘Pinneyam‘ in Malyalam, he has certainly raised the expectations of Marathi film lovers. Fortunately for him, all his three films due for release, have different subjects. So, can we call Subodh Bhave, the most popular actor today, in Marathi film industry ?
