Shabana Azmi totally 'bewitched'

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">There are very few actresses who made of the mettle, the maturity and mental makeover that Shabana Azmi possesses. She can boast of the widest array of roles in her ''Hall of Fame'' and she has been voraciously applauded for each one of them. <br />From the helpless Indian woman in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Arth</span> to daring depiction of ''female bonding'' in the controversial <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Fire</span> and the over-powering epitome in <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Godmother</span>, this actress has performed all these characters with grace and finesse.And once again she dares to be different by stepping in to territory that no Indian actress of her calibre has ever done. In music composer Vishal Bharadwaj''s (of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Maachis, Satya, Chachi 420 </span>and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Godmother </span>fame), directorial debut - <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Makdi</span> Shabana Azmi plays a witch. And this is also the first Hindi film to be shot in Cook lens with an advanced 435 camera. And this ain''t gonna be one of those eerie flicks, the likes of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Woh Kaun Thi</span> and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Bees Saal Baad</span>; rather this will be a real treat for our <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">baccha</span> party <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">jaanta</span>, who are literally starved of real rip-roaring entertainment. <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Chalo chalo bacche log</span>...the fun has just begun. </div> </div>
