The more I think about the Myth, the more I think it was all about Mallika Sherawat. I liked the film, despite it's rather disappointing finale, but on reflection, it was mostly because of Mallika. I mean, I'm a huge Jackie fan, but in the Myth, Mallika totally stole his thunder. I could watch all her scenes, especially the Kalari Payattu and the rat glue trap scene, over and over and over. I confess, I'm a Bollywood fan too. After travelling in India, Bollywood hold a special fascination for me (and not just the hotties like Mallika). Also, here in Fremont, we have the largest Indian cinema in America, so Bollywood film is pretty big out here.

Mallika is in this new film, Darna Zaroori Hai, which is receiving a fair amount of buzz out here now. I think Mallika is a Bollywood starlet to watch, if you're into Asian film.
