I don’t want to reveal their names over here and want them to be punished. I heard the news that an actress was molested in her car while I was at a shooting set. I was ready to enact myself in a joyous scene, I knew the mental and physical situations she had undergone then because even I too had gone through such situations. The situation in which one is not aware about the happenings around her and is completely helpless. The people behind are the real threat to our society, the cold blooded criminals. I am never a victim to such a crime, I am a surviver who won over them through positive thinking” she continued.

I was assaulted by my co-workers in cinema itself, and I never want them to be published. I would tell to all my sister’s that such crimes often happen in our society and never feel that you are the only one affected.” she added.

Bhavana reveals the bad experiences she had faced that night!

Bhavana had recently described the happenings that had wounded her to a Malayalam monthly magazine. This is what the actress wanted to tell “I know that majority of you know the actual facts that had occurred to me that night. And for those of you who have not known it, this is for you. I wish that no girl in this society should ever go through such a situation, that is why I tell the whole happenings to the world

She began, “I started my journey from Thrissur to Cochin after dusk. I often noticed a catering van which had been following my vehicle, it had hit my car and made a rough scene with my driver on the road. They were later seen talking to the people inside the van.

While I was sitting puzzled, unaware of the situation two from each side of my car had entered and caught firmly both my hands. They had already got my phone and my body started to shiver. They had told me that they have to take the driver on basis of a quotation offered and would leave me unharmed in a safe place. I was a bit relieved now and asked them to drop me at Lal media” she continued.

The catering van was still behind us and had stopped at regular intervals. I spotted people getting in and out of the van and messages being passed through phones. I felt a bit tensed and asked them what they were doing. Soon the guy who had picked me up from the airport during the shoots of Honey Bee 2 in Goa had entered inside my car and told me that this is a quotation that a women had given us to capture a video of yours and would ring you up later to talk about the deal. I felt that death was more easier than giving up myself to them at that instant. He also added that if not I had allowed them to capture the video clip they would take me to a flat at Cochin with a five member gang and would drug and rape me up!

Inside the car they both harassed me physically and mentally. I was helpless and did not know what to do… The only thing that I had found mercy was the hanging rosary in the back-view mirror…” the actress added.

Box office failure for Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai!

Kaatru Veliyidai, another romantic flick from Mani Ratnam started it’s run smoothly at the Tamil Nadu box office. The hype the movie had builded up was massive and the songs were much soothing to the audience. All had expected the old classy Mani Ratnam but to be precise he had not risen up to the mark yet again.

According to the official stats, the movie had grossed Rs. 11 crores from the first three three days of it’s release, which was regarded as an excellent opening. A 70℅ drastic drop was seen in the A class theaters days later, which was a huge downfall. This resulted in the theater responses and the audience had once again blamed the director for his poor form.

The same scenario had been visible from the non Tamil states. Theaters in Andhra and Telangana had to replace the movie due to it’s below average performance reports. In Kerala, though the movie had got mixed reviews it still finds it hard to attract audiences, apart from the initial day. The movie released in the US too showed similar kind of signs. It had collected 1 and a half crores from the US markets, reports a trade source.

Notable positives in the movie just limits to the visual beauty captured by Ravi Varman, the dance sequences along with the maestro AR. Rahman’s melodious numbers. The Mani Ratnam magic which had gone someday still rests in a place where one can never think of. Yet the fans of the legendary director believe that he could find it one day and perform a visual treat that would be soothing for the audience of each kind!
