Ace Bollywood photographer Daboo Ratani previewed his 2008 calendar, which included 24 Bollywood actors. My first question is: where are the Bollywood actresses? How come the women were excluded from his calendar?
Of the pictures, my favorites were Shiney Ahuja and Upen Patel’s pictures; both had movement, intensity and visual interest. The worst were Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan’s pictures. Poor Salman, he looked like a lost farmer sitting on his bale of hay, while Shah Rukh’s was typical Khan style – vain and self-absorbed. Couldn’t they have done something different with Shah Rukh? It would have been more interesting had his image been juxtaposed in a crowd of faces but still stood out. On a side note, Salman Khan reminds me of Joey’s character from Friends.
Which were your favorites and dislikes?

When did Sanjay Dutt convert to Christianity? Or is it just another Bhansali film?
Maybe he’s appealing to all religions before he serves his jailtime!
Neil Nitin Mukesh’s pic is my favorite. Then there are a bunch of ones I really like. Some others, I really don’t care much about.
the dude who’s licking the lightbulb is rahul bose.
frequent reader of your blog, always makes for a good read.

aditi
Thanks Aditi! I couldn’t figure out who it was, but Rahul Bose is a favorite of mine.
And the picture with the hood for the month of May is Fardeen Khan…and thanks anonymous for the info on Rahul Bose…I thought it might be him but wasn’t sure.
Oh…didn’t realize you wrote your name down Aditi…sorry about that.
