Sonam – The hottest ‘Cover’ girl!

Sonam Kapoor stood out in Saawariya in spite of her not getting the privilege of playing an author backed role! All eyes are on Sonam yet again as the talented girl will be seen opposite Abhishek Bachchan in Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra’s forthcoming film Delli 6. However, it is not just films that are keeping Sonam busy these days. Where aspiring actresses make their debut as a model to get into Bollywood, our Kapoor girl has gone the other way round!

Sonam is the new sensation of Bollywood to make a foray into the modelling world as she has flanked the cover of almost all the international fashion magazines in India! Elle, Grazia, Verve, LOfficiel…Sonam has been on the cover of all which prompted us to interview this gorgeous young actress.

Since the November of 2007, when Sonam shot for her first cover for LOfficiel magazine, she has been gracing the covers of various magazines non-stop! “I might be the only actor who has had her face on some or the other magazine since the last November”, says Sonam excitedly. “I am really into fashion”, says she stating the reason for those shoots.

She further elaborates, “I understand fashion and all these young girls working in these magazines are my age and I like to work with them as they are kicked about doing new things just like me! Their idea of fashion is not jaded and I too have no particular agendas when I do a cover shoot for a magazine. I am open to different things and experimenting with my look. I tell them I am fine with a buffon, sober Indian look, boho, grunge… etc and they love to play around with my look.”

Soon to grace the cover of Elle magazine for their August issue, where Sonam will be seen sporting a green Rohit Bal creation, we ask her to give us a lowdown on her hottest covers so far.

Four things you should know before you read this article: I’ve seen “The Dark Knight.” You haven’t. I promise not to spoil anything in the paragraphs that follow. And yes, I do realize what a lucky bastard I am.

Rather than a traditional review, when it comes to the year’s most anticipated film, you just want to know one thing: Is it good? With that in mind, here are eight key factors that make a superhero movie sink or swim, and the movie’s ratings — from 1 to 10 (10 being best) — in each category:

The “Wow” Factor

This is the strongest category for Christopher Nolan’s new masterpiece. Your mouth will drop every time Heath Ledger’s Joker walks onscreen, you will want to own a Batpod, and you’ll marvel at the increased powers and flexibility in Batman’s new outfit. Nolan engineers some brilliant chase scenes, cuts together violent montages reminiscent of “The Godfather” and mixes in enough beautiful cinematography to make the film feel Oscar-worthy. Do yourself a favor and see it in IMAX. Rating: 10

The “Cheese” Factor

Nolan’s greatest triumph with “Batman Begins” may have been banishing any semblance of camp from the franchise. History has shown, however, that the longer a “Batman” incarnation continues, the more cheese begins to sneak in. While “Bam!” “Pow!” “Biff!” and nipple-suits are nowhere to be seen, there is an increased reliance this time around on evil henchmen. As these faceless minions are beaten to a bloody pulp time and again by Batman, you might find yourself a bit concerned. While it’s doubtful that Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mr. Freeze will be the villain in the next film, all those lackeys seem like a baby step toward Schumacher-ville. Rating: 7

The “Quote” Factor

Like Jack Nicholson before him, every line out of Ledger’s mouth feels like it should be on a T-shirt. Every word from the mouths of Michael Caine (as Alfred Pennyworth) and Morgan Freeman (as Lucius Fox) are pearls of wisdom. But the Batman himself speaks a bit stiffer than in the last film, and Aaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent/ Two-Face won’t have you changing your e-mail signature anytime soon. Rating: 7

The “Surprise” Factor

Even if you’re the sort of Internet geek who has read every MTV.com Batman story over the past few years, freeze-framed the trailers obsessively and participated in all the guerrilla marketing, you’ll still find plenty of unexpected pleasures in “Dark Knight.” My only hesitation in this category’s grading is that the ending isn’t nearly as surprising or unpredictable as that of “Batman Begins.” But suffice it to say: Chris Nolan has no problem killing any character at any time. Rating: 7

The “Comic Book vs. Movie” Factor

Much like “Batman Begins,” Nolan continues to reinvent the characters as he sees fit. When it comes to the Joker, every move made by Nolan and Ledger is a masterstroke. Unfortunately, Two-Face often pales in comparison. For the most part, however, all of Nolan’s choices are as good as, if not better than, his source material. Rating: 8

The “Repeat Viewing” Factor

When this movie ends, you’ll want to leave the theater, buy another ticket and go back in for the next show. The film moves very fast, and the plot often becomes quite complicated for a “comic book” movie. Repeated viewings should provide further insight into the motivations of certain characters and will also allow you to savor the finer moments of Ledger’s bizarrely beautiful performance. That said, is this the kind of movie that places a reference to the Flash way in the background, fueling team-up talk for sharp-eyed fans? You’ll have to go see “Iron Man” again for that kind of thing. Rating: 7

The “Darkness” Factor

There is some messed-up stuff in this movie, and I mean that in the best possible way. Conversely, there are also a few too many deaths that occur off-camera. Ultimately, the film uses Joker’s insanity, Harvey Dent’s honor and Batman’s struggle somewhere in the middle to explore the thin line between hero and villain. You’ll leave the theater not only discussing all the cool gadgets, toys and action scenes, but also the psychological tipping points of these men. Ultimately, such intelligence is the most powerful weapon in the “Dark Knight” utility belt. Rating: 8

The “Sequel” Factor

Overall, “Dark Knight” is superior to “Batman Begins.” Much of this stems from the film’s eagerness to pick up within moments of the last film’s conclusion, without any need to explain the origins of anyone. Once the film gets going, you’d better keep up, because things move more rapidly than in “Begins.” It’s the best “Batman” movie ever made, hands down. Rating: 9
