Sunday - Rank 3rd on Box Office in Feb '08

Sunday is ranked at 3rd place during Feb '08 on Box-office. Last week itself, movie has collected near 10 Cr in India. This movie will surely prove to be Ayesha Talkia's come back movie. After Tarzan the Wonder Car - she never been in shown as a center of attraction in any of the movie.

A dead body found floating in a lake... Unexplained scratch marks on her neck... Supari killers out to kill her... A taxi driver who yells 'bhoot, bhoot' every time he sees her...
Sehar's (Ayesha Takia) world turns topsy-turvy when she gets a clue about the missing Sunday of her life, which points to a possible violent attack on her. A.C.P Rajveer (Ajay Devgan) takes up the case to sort out the complicated and jumbled up threads of Sehar's life.
In the process of solving Sehar's case it comes to light that on Sunday, different people interacted with her and amongst them, one could be the accused. The lot included Ballu (Arshad Warsi), the taxi driver and his friend, Kumar (Irrfan Khan), a struggling NSD actor, Ritu (Anjana Sukhani), Sehar's close friend, a scary and suspicious character who resides in Sehar's society, and the group whom she had come across while partying at the discotheque.
While trying to solve the puzzle, Rajveer stumbles upon a murder case whose clues hold up Sehar to be the culprit.
Seher is at first amused, then mystified and then terrified when she realises she has a connection with all these totally unconnected incidents.
But she cannot remember anything,
Her fiancée ACP Rajvir Randhava is convinced that Seher is innocent, but he is also equally sure that she is linked to everything.
Then another dead body is found. And the bracelet found near the corpse belongs to Seher. The evidence is mounting and all dingers point ay Seher.
And still, Seher does not remember anything.
Is Seher really as innocent as she claims to be?
A dubbing artiste by day, is she also a serial killer by night?
Is her bubbly charm but a mask that hides her darker, menacing self?
As Seher desperately fights the fog that clouds her treacherous memory, ACP Rajvir has to fight the fact that the woman he wants to marry may well be a murderer and worse...
What if one day went missing from your life?

Jodha Akbar - Good Opening

Inspite of lot of controversy, the movie has good fairly good opening in India. Many viewers were not convinced with Hrithik as Akbar (we still remember his role in Dhoom-II). And movie rejection by Rajput's in Rajashan was really a bad start for such a grand movie. But slowly its has picked-up Box-Office accross the country.

Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar is the story of the greatest Mughal emperor that ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and a fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Set in the sixteenth century, this epic romance begins as a marriage of alliance between two cultures and religions, for political gain, with the Hindu King Bharmal of Amer giving his daughter's hand to a Muslim Emperor, Akbar. When Akbar accepts the marriage proposal, little does he know that in his efforts to strengthen his relations with the Hindu Rajputs, he would in turn be embarking on a new journey - the journey of true love. From the battlefield where the young Jalaluddin was crowned, through the conquests that won him the title of Akbar the Great ("Akbar' in Arabic means great), to winning the love of the beautiful Jodhaa, Jodhaa Akbar traces the impressive graph of the mighty emperor and his romance with a defiant princess. With Hrithik Roshan as Akbar and Aishwarya Rai as Jodhaa, the film is produced by Ronnie Screwvala and Ashutosh Gowariker.

Sanjay and Manyata Marriage is in Legal Trouble

Munnabhai - Sanjay Dutt’s registered marriage with his friend Manyata might face legal problems. Legal experts says it is a violation of the Muslim Personal Law (MPL). Munnabhai and Manyata had a court marriage on 7th Feb ’08 in Goa.

As per MPL, a Muslim woman cannot marry a man of any other religion unless she converts herself to the religion of her would-be husband or vice-versa, Bombay High Court advocate and MPL expert Neelofar S. Akhtar said here Saturday.

In the case of Manyata, a Muslim by birth, there is no proof that she converted to Hinduism before she married Dutt, save for the fact that she had earlier adopted a Hindu name, Akhtar told IANS.

Manyata’s ex-husband, Meeraj-ur-Rehman, moved a petition in the Bandra Magistrate’s court that his marriage with Manyata has not been dissolved as there was no divorce. As per sources, Neelofar said he must have filed for restoration of conjugal right provided he is having a nikaahnama (marriage certificate).

Neelofar said if Rehman has not divorced Manyata nor has she sought khula (divorce at her behest). This makes her marriage with Sanjay illegal. Now the case would depend on whether Manyata can produce the official talaaqnaama (divorce certificate), or khulanama (divorce at wife’s behest), or mubarranama (divorce by mutual consent). Additionally, Neelofar said while the duo’s marriage in Goa is proper, the marriage certificate issued by the Goa marriage registrar could be struck down as illegal. “This is because though a person can get married anywhere in India under the Special Marriages Act, the marriage can be registered only in the state where he or she is domiciled.”
