Roshan comes to number 23. 2+3=5 which is a very strong number.
For success in life his full name should come to number 1 since childhood.
If his name comes to number 14,23,32(series of 5) then his full name will come to number 5+5(surname)=10=1+0 =1
 
Hrehan(23) or Reehan (23)+ Roshan(23)=46.

Lohi lashes out at Meera!

Lohithdas the noted Malayalam scriptwriter and director who made his foray into Tamil films with Kastoorimaan has finally broken his silence on his protégé Meera Jasmine. It was Lohithdas who hand-picked Meera, a small town girl and cast her as heroine in his Malayalam film Sutradharan and subsequently he played the role of her mentor, guardian and Godfather in the industry.
 
Remember that the grapevine was abuzz with news that their admiration for each other had turned into love and Meera’s family had openly accused the director for creating a rift between the actress and her people. Lohithdas popularly known as Lohi was obviously smitten by her and in a moment of bliss, he jumped into the idea of remaking his own Malayalam Kastoorimaan into Tamil without knowing the language or milieu!
 
Lohi had produced, directed and marketed Kastoorimaan himself to promote Meera’s sagging career but the film bombed badly and was shown on satellite channel in less than 50 days after its theatrical release! Lohi is reported to have incurred huge loses on the project and the poor man had to sell his estate in Munnar and his beautiful river-side house in Aluva near Kochi to pay back the creditors.
 
Now Lohi has kept aside his dreams to make another Tamil film and has returned to Malayalam where he is making a film with Jayaram and Kavya Madhavan in the lead. Recently Lohi opened up to the local press and talked about the bitter experience with Meera. Said Lohi: “After promising to do this film, Meera simply backed out saying that she has no time and is busy with her Tamil and Telugu projects. Kavya is a very talented girl with an amazing sensuality and I am extremely happy to cast her”.
 
Lohi continued: “Meera has wavering mind and loses interest in the film half way through. She has no emotional involvement with her character and is no patch on Manju Warrier (again a Lohi discovery, now leading a happy life as superstar Dileep’s wife) and is highly hyped and overrated!” When questioned if he has fallen out with Meera, Lohi was quick to reply: “Why should I? She just did not have dates for my film. Recently she even made Mohanlal and Satyan Anthikkad a top director wait, as she was busy with a Tamil film! After all- this is cinema there are no permanent friends or enemies”.

Kilukkam Kilukilukkam

Movie: Kilukkam Kilukilukkam
Director: Sandhya Mohan
Music: Deepak Dev
Cast: Mohanlal, Kavya Madhavan,Jayasurya, Kunchakko Bobban
 
 
 
Jeepers Creepers! What in the name of comedy and entertainment has director Sandhya Mohan dished out in Kilukkam Kilukilukkam? The film is full of crass comedy and buffoonery and it is really sad to see Mohanlal, the man with the best comic timing being reduced to a joker although he appears only in the last 15 minutes of the film.

It is pathetic to see an ensemble of comedy actors like Jagathy Sreekumar, Innocent, and Cochin Haneefa reduced to nothingness. The film is a sequel to the Priyadarsan’s comedy riot Kilukkam but ends up making mockery of its original. Sandhya Mohan and his scriptwriters Udayakrishnan and Sibi K.Thomas has actually remade and not done a sequel to the original.

The Kochi Mayor (VIjayaraghavan) is killed in front of his daughter Chandni (Kavya Madhavan) by rivals. Chandni escapes from them and runs away to Ooty where she gets admitted to a convent ruin by a loving sister (Bindu Panikkar). Two guys Roy (Kunchakko Boban ) and Balu (Jayasuruya) also reaches Ooty under different circumstances and they get hooked to her. Meanwhile a battalion of comedians like Harisri Asokan, Jagathy, Innocent, Salim Kumar, Cochin Haneefa and others are also after Chandni as there is reward money on her which leads to a merry-go-round. Finally Joji (Mohanlal) comes in the climax, beats up the baddies and saves Chandni.

Help! No one has a well-etched out role in the film. The comedians dressed up as women are terrible and downright rude. Kavya trying to imitate Revathy’s antics from the original has the audience booing! The weak script makes the characters a lot more dumper than they really are as crude slapstick rules. The most polite comment that can be made is that this travesty called Kilukkam Kilukilukkam is a disgrace for Priyan and his comedy classic Kilukkam.
