Top ten fun and fundoo

No expectations please. There is no orchestra in the background striking up the tune - Baharon phool barsao mera mehboob aaya hai. This is not a disclaimer, it is a claimer claiming that the following jodis are fun and fundoo and wicked sometimes. There are 6 listed in reverse order that have already been seen on the screen. There are 4 more (totalling 10 duh !) from my ultapulta wishlist. Here goes:

6. Aishwarya -Zayed:

Her movies were flopping left right and centre and he was the fresh face on the block. Debutante Leena Yadav brought them together as the adulterous (almost) couple while a brooding Sanjay Dutt looked on - wanting grist for his writing mill. The movie had some lovely songs - Khoya Khoya sa teri nighahon mein, with both of them prancing carefree. A giggly Aish managed to look quite good with a puppydog like Zayed. Movie recommended strictly for the goodlooking people peopling it.

5. Meghna Reddy - Anil Kapoor:

Chocolate was probably based on some hollywood potboiler I havent heard of. A journalist (Meghna) and a hotshot lawyer (Anil Kapoor) are thrown together into solving a case which entails long conversations with Irfaan Khan and Tanushree Dutta. At one point Meghna is so miffed at Anil Kapoor's obvious attraction towards the sexy Tanu, that she is compelled to draw Anil's attention to the fact that she is a 'bra-wearing' girl too. Apart from that one aberration, Meghna plays a tomboyish devil-may-care girl which is a change from the usual correct sugarwontmeltinmymouth kind of roles the heroines play. She is the opposite of the correct and formal Anil Kapoor.

4. Dimple-Akshay Khanna:

He was a young artist and she was a troubled single woman trying to deal with her life without her daughter. She looks at him as a good friend, but he adores her. Their friendship never gets passionate but it causes a rift between Akshay and friends. His dil chahta hai, but the lady wont consent, preferring to die - a la Love Story - probably of a wasted liver. Dimple is beautiful, gorgeous. Akshay's adoration makes them look great together.

3. Vidya-Saif:

She was an unproven newcomer from the middle-class with girl next door looks, and he was a well acknowledged talent and a nawab to boot. Parineeta was the tale of a woman's unstinting devotion to her neighbour, a rich, arrogant, quick-tempered Shekhar. Vidya is all grace and smoothness to the rough edged (as played in the movie) Saif. A perfect mismatch.

2. Rekha-Akshay:

If Madam Re is still missing HIM, she didnt let it make her morose and reclusive. She went her merry way picking up 'good friends' and toyboys. Akshay Kumar was one of those. Khiladion Ka Khildi had Akshay in an encounter with Maya (what an apt name for Re). Re plays the vamp to the hilt. I am sure the heroine, Raveena Tandon, felt quite useless and threatened. Way to go Re, live it up.

1. Mallika Shehrawat-Rahul Bose:

She is taller than him, gorgeous and sexy and famed more for kisses than activity above the nose region. He is a cerebral actor famed for his serious roles. They came together in a sexy comedy Pyaar Ke Side Effects. The story (esp the ending) needed some more work - playing runaway bride twice over ??? But the movie had some good gags and able support from the likes of Ranveer Shorey. Surprise, they do manage to look good together! It couldnt have gotten as diverse as this !

Now comes my totally thinking out of the box section. You may pelt stones at me for these- I will enjoy them.

4. Emraan Hashmi - Karisma Kapur

Blows your mind off ? Same here. An insolent nepotic actor on the lowest rung of the food-chain, not famed for either looks or great talent. An actress with pedigree and looks and moderate talents. The khatiya days are firmly behind her, so are her pink cottancandy dresses and curly hair. She is a hot mother, slim and suitably surgeried into gorgeousness. A rani and a rank (pauper).

3. Amir - Sushmita:

He is diminutive and choclatey, She is tall and statuesque. He is cute, she is regal. The lady and the tramp?

2. Sanjay Dutt -Smriti Irani Tulsi:

Sanjay Dutt pairs easily with anyone. He did Khoobsurat with Urmila, Munnabhai with Vidya Balan, quite a few movies with no heroines just some male bonding, Kaante, Plan, Anthony Kaun Hai. In one of his movies with Govinda he was paired with the infamous Monica Bedi. So it would be hard to find a heroine who would look really way out with him. Now this, I think is a real way out choice. She is the correct bahu mouthing platitudes at every turn. Her moves are always dramatic, dress strictly over the top behenji. He is cool and can manage bhaigiri with gandhigiri effortlessly without making the combo look ludicrous.

1. Aishwarya Rai - Pankaj Kapur

Clash of cymbals please. They have everything facing in different directions. She is young, he is not. She is beautiful, he is not. She is tall, he is not. He is a powerhouse of talents that makes his physical shortcomings fade away. All her beauty cant win her accolades in the acting department.

Shut up Kitty !
