Debutant director Srinivas Bhashayam’s Paisa Vasool opening on December 19 will be the ultimate chick flick with Manisha Koirala whooping it up with Sushmita Sen in a girls-just-wanna-have-fun mould. Director Bhayasham unhesitatingly describes his two leading ladies as the “heroes” of the film. While the men brawl, the ladies were meant to bawl. But sorry, for now the leading ladies are having a ball. From a daughter who can’t forgive her mother for pursuing a career in Khalid Mohamed’s Tehzeeb, to two room-mates who get caught in a crime budge in Srinivas Bhashayam’s Paisa Vasool, to a middle-class girl who gets trapped in a no-win situation in Sriram Raghavan’s Ek Haseena Thi, to a prostitute who helps a repressed man exorcise his heart of his demons in Sudhir Mishra’s Chameli… the marquee maharanis of moviedom are out to score over their male counterparts in Dec-Jan. Even this week’s release Kal H o Na Ho is in some ways a ladies’ film with Jaya Bachchan, her screen-daughter Preity Zinta and the all-female household forming a large part of the story. Between them, Jaya and Preity Zinta hold up the show splendidly. “I felt I was with my own daughter Shweta,” says Jaya.
