At Empire - Titanic starring Leonardo DeCaprio, Kate Winslet, BillyZane, Kathy Bates, Bernard Hill, David Warner, Bill Paxton and a cast ofundreds of extras. Directed by James Cameron, a 20th Century Fox and Paramountpresentation.
This film like the fateful ship itself had a jinx - it took nearly twoyears after its worldwide release to reach Sri Lanka. Once here on ourshores being exhibited in two cinemas in Colombo and one at Kandy, ourfilm reviewers from The Sunday Times and the Lankadipa had a time in viewingit which they couldn't although they were armed with an invitation. Reason- No seats All Booked. So how come the invitation?
Finally one reviewer appealed to a Cinema Manager in Colombo who agreedto accommodate him for a Sunday morning show. A good Samaritan, this Manageras this reviewer was frantically trying to view the film in order to givehis copy on Monday. At least this Manager had a soft spot for the media.
The screening of Titanic in Sri Lanka is an anti-climax as it comesafter the Titanic fever has subsided. Anyway this film that was blown upout of all proportions could be a cultural phenomenon. It caters only tothe hoc plloi plus a dash of the middle class, so it seems. For the restit is just an ordinary film though millions have been wasted on it.
The story is narrated to the filming team by a survivor, the leadinglady in the film, who is now old and feeble almost in her nineties. Thebest performance in the film I thought was this old lady's, who narratesthe story as it happened with an inner feeling that is most touching albeitinfections.
The other striking sequence was the Titanic itself specially built forfilming and the demise of it - part by part swallowed up by the ragingand relentless sea..... and the special effects gone into the making ofthis film.
Apart from these few credits there's nothing much to crow about thisfilm.... although a colossal sum has been spent on it. It is an ordinaryfilm.... disaster of a steamship on the high seas with an enormous costof life. There have been better films than this which had not unfortunatelywon any Academy Awards. The fact that this film won 11 Academy Awards blewit up out of proportions resulting in Titanic fever. See it if you mustbut do not expect too much out of it.
Note: This reviewer, thanks the Sirasa and the Maharaja Organisationwithout whose help in obtaining tickets he would not have had the chanceof viewing this film and writing this review. It was one of their complimentarydays. Thank you very much.

Kushboo, the beautiful star of the Tamil screen born with the GoldenSpoon is of Persian origin. Her real name is Nakkath. At the age of 17she entered films in a big way. Before that she had acted in a few Hindifilms as a child star. But the real break came when she was offered a rolein Tharmathin Thalaivan co-starring with Prabhu - Shivaji Ganeshan's son.And this set the ball rolling for Kushboo and also the tongues waggingas more than one writer linked her name romantically with Prabhu to thediscomfiture of his family and especially Shivaji Ganeshan the great starof the Tamil screen.
This film although not very successful became the launching pad forher zoom into the milky way of filmdom, as her next film this time withher favourite co-star Prabhu, SINNATHAMBY, became an all time hit, grossingmillions wherever screened. For this film both Kushboo, Prabhu, music directorIlayarajah and the very director won awards and rave reviews wherever screened.
Yes this was it. Kushboo really hit the top with this film. Sinnathambybroke all first day, first week and first month records. What's more onits 100th day celebration run this film had to be shown in 5 theatres inChennai with 4 shows daily which went on for nearly a week.
Other films that she had starred in and shone brilliantly were:- MANNANwith Superstar Rajni Kanth where both Kushboo and Rajni were at their best,Annamalai which heralded a new line in Tamil films where the rich got theworst of the confrontation with the poor, Rajni taking the side of thedowntrodden, ITHU NAMMA BHOOMI with Karthik, KILAKKU VASAL with Karthik,Kilakku Karai with Prabhu.
Then came another twist - she began acting with off beat actors likeNapolean, Ettuputti Rasa which shot this rough and tumble tough man intostardom, then again with Rajni the film being the musical PANDIYAN whichwas dubbed into Hindi and Telugu too.
A while later she starred in the thriller CAPTAIN MAGAL with handsomeRaja as co-star and Napoleon as the villain. In this film she did the stuntscene of climbing up a windmill where Napoleon was waiting for her withan axe. She got rave comments for enacting this scene.
