EARLY LIFE: Born to Krishnan and Uma Krishnan, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu the Tamil actress got her higher education in Ethiraj College, Chennai. Later, she modelled and won Miss Salem in 1999, Miss Chennai in 1999 and Miss India Miss Beautiful Smile in 2001. In school, she participated in several cultural activities, sports and school band. She studied at Sacred Heart Church Park School, in Madras.

She started her career as a model, appearing in many TV advertisements including that of Fair and Lovely and Josco Jeweller. She also starred in Falguni Pathak's music album Meri Chunar Ud Ud Jaye.

[edit] Film career

Trisha Krishnan first made her debut in films when she was offered a small cameo in the film Jodi. However, the first movie in which she signed up to enact the role of the leading lady was Priyadarshan's Leysa Leysa. A string of flops marked the beginning of her career, such as Manasellam, and Alai. However she was well suited for her role opposite Surya in Mounam Pesiyadhe and won critical acclaim. She is well acclaimed for her facial expressions while acting. She then played Vikram's lady love in the mega blockbuster Saamy. The next huge film she took part in followed immediately afterwards, was Ghilli with Vijay, which was a remake of Telugu blockbuster Okkadu.

In 2004, she starred in Varsham in Telugu which went on to become the biggest hit of the year and turned her into an overnight sensation. In 2005, she starred alongside Siddharth Narayan in the Telugu flick Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana as the village girl Siri. The movie is about a rich boy, who tries to marry a girl - however her brother opposes. It is directed by Prabhu Deva, was successful at the box office,[4] and Krishnan won two awards for the film which include the Filmfare Award and Nandi Award.

She appeared in Mani Ratnam's Aayutha Ezhuthu which was remade into a hit Hindi movie Yuva. The Tamil version included Siddharth Narayan, Madhavan and Surya. Her later movies, Ji, Aathi and Aaru did not do well - though Aaru was received well by critics and both dubbed in Tamil and Telugu and produced by Saran, who had previously directed several successful movies.[5] Her 2006 Telugu movie, Pournami, directed by Prabhu Deva, was a flop. However, another 2006 film, Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum, where Krishnan acted opposite Jayam Ravi, did well at the box office. Something Something ... Unnakum Ennakum is a remake of the Telugu movie, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana where she plays the same role.

Her Telugu film Sainikudu with Mahesh Babu was released on November 30, 2006. There were high expectations in the trade circles from this film especially after the smashing hit Pokiri, but this high budget film started off with below average reviews. Despite receiving bad reviews from the film trade, the film managed to get a decent opening in India and overseas.

Her next release after Sainikudu was Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule where she was cast opposite Venkatesh. This film was Selvaraghavan's first film in Telugu. The film released on April 27, 2007. The film is a family entertainer and received good response especially from the family audience. The box office returns exceeded the collections of later releases like Aata and Munna. Krishnan's performance is one of the highlights of the movie.

In Kireedam with Ajith, Krishnan tried comedy and received rave reviews. Kireedom opened with high expectations and received good reviews from media and audience. Her 2008 films, Bheema and Kuruvi failed to succeed at the box-office, whilst Krishna with Ravi Teja, opened to rave reviews. Her other movie Bujjigadu starring Prabhas, directed by Puri Jagannadh was released during Summer and made a decent run. However Radhamohan's Abhiyum Naanum became a super hit and Krishnan was praised for her performance. King starring Akkineni Nagarjuna directed by Sreenu Vaitla was a December release and it became a blockbuster. In 2009 her movie Sarvam with Arya did not do well and became just an average grosser. She has a Gautham Menon film opposite Simbu awaiting for 2009 release.

She is said to be the highest paid actress in south India and she takes home 2crores in Tamil and 1.25 crores in telugu.

Krishnan recently replaced Rani Mukherjee as the Brand Ambassador of Fanta India. She is the brand ambassador of Scooty Pep+, for which she has replaced Preity Zinta. She endorses Perk chocolate, for which also she has replaced Preity Zinta. She is also the brand ambassador for Fiama Di Wills, a product by ITC.

LONDON DREAMS

Amadeus, anyone? We'd suggest you don't even mention the name of the legendary film, which went on to win eight Oscars, in the same breath as London Dreams, the film that is ostensibly inspired by it. Only then will it be possible to savour the finer aspects of this desi dosti pix that follows the relationship between two childhood buddies who share a similar passion for music. If Milos Forman's Amadeus traced the stormy comradeship between Antonio Salieri (F Murray Abraham), the Vienese court composer, and legendary genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce), then London Dreams sees a lesser talented Ajay Dvgn articulating a similar angst as his gifted friend, Salman Khan, steals the thunder, despite his disinterest in super stardom.

But the similarity ends there. For, the plot of London Dreams is completely simplistic and linear, often bordering on the implausible. Devgn's journey from Bhatinda to London, his formation of a rock band with a bunch of stragglers, his rise to popularity and his sudden climactic outburst lack all depth. Salman's fall from grace is kiddish too. Suddenly, from sniffing cocaine, thrust on to him by a mysterious girl, he grows into a diehard junkie, only to de-addict himself with equal felicity. And then comes the climax, running helter-skelter from Devgn's jealous outburst to rushed repentance, with Salman signing off with the moral of the film: Pra toh pra hota hai, pra! (A brother is a brother, brother, so no sorrys.) Then again, it's pronto to London, to fulfil the still unfulfilled London Dream of making it big in Wembley with Devgn's desi band. Truly, this one's a poor piece of script writing by Suresh Nair.

But there's a lot that works in the film's favour. Topping the list are the performances by both Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan who once again share a scintillating chemistry after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. It's refreshing to see Devgn return to his angry young man mould as Arjun, a role he's played to perfection in films like Company and Omkara. Salman, as Mannu, the libidinous village yokel, reprises his brattish avtar, playing to the gallery with his throwaway lines and his devil-may-care attitude. There is an effortless spontaneity and ease to everything he does, be it being stripped to his boxers at Heathrow or playing the trumpet in the local Raja Rani band in Bhatinda. The first half of the film, set mostly in the village, has a rustic charm and innocent banter as the two buddies try to catch up on their dosti. The second half -- the dushmani track -- intermittently bursts into life when a self-flagellating Devgn raves and rants against the injustice of God. Why did you give him the talent and me the passion, he clamours, swearing to bring down his best buddy who has become more popular than him. What's more, he's managed to walk away with pretty girl, Asin, too, despite his playboy ways. Truly, a double jeopardy for our angst-ridden hero who become a victim of envy and rage. It's the weight-and-wild combo of Devgn and Salman which imbues the film with most of its appeal and draws you into it with the strength of the performances. Asin too is effervescent, though she has little to do. MTV hero Rannvijay sadly ends up as a sidekick, hanging on the fringes as Devgn's shadow. But the biggest let down of the film is it's music. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's songs are completely out of sync with the rock band flavour of the film. Can't remember a single foot-tapping number, other than the ode to Hanuman.

Nevertheless, watch it for the Devgn-Salman thunder and for the simple reason that this is definitely one of Vipul Shah's better films.

A word about...

Performances: Salman Khan plays it over the top, creating a lovable, earthy Mannu. Ajay Devgn excels in displaying shades of grey as the jealous Arjun. Asin is adequate eye candy, having much less to do than her vibrant Ghajini act.

Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's score is a complete non-starter. Now that's ironical since the film is actually a musical about the highs and lows of a rock band. Remember the foot-stomping numbers of Rock On? The only song that strikes a memorable note is the hip hop rendition of the Hanuman Chalisa. The rest is forgettable.

Choreography: What's Asin doing aimlessly swinging her arms as the chorus girl? And what's Devgn doing standing static -- and awkward-- as the rock star. Yes, the dance moves are uninspired, considering there are six choreographers credited to the film.

Dialogues: Salman walks away with most of the applause with his rustic and homespun Punjabi, peppered with street lingo and fond abuses. His term of endearment -- Chennai Express -- for girlfriend Asin is an absolute charmer.

Story: Suresh Nair's clunky and illogical story is the sore point of the film. It fails to anchor the friend-turned-foe emotions and crumbles in an unconvincing climax.

Cinematography: Sejal Shah's camera captures both the rural ambience of Bhatinda and the foreign locales of London and Paris with artistry. The midnight bonding sequence between Salman and Devgn under the starlit sky in their village deserves a special mention.

Styling: Devgn sports the tattoos; Asin oscillates between salwar-kameez (at home) and tights (on stage); Salman flourishes the keffiyeh (wonder when did the Arabic scarf reach the backwaters of Bhainda!). The style quotient of the film is average and not really London chic.

Inspiration: The film draws the plot and characters from Amadeus, the cult classic that won eight Oscars. But the high-tension rivalry between Salieri and Mozart gets transmuted into a lukewarm dushmani between homespun Devgn and Salman.

Ajab prem ki ghazab kahani

Gazab comedy, this one. Really, Ranbir is a revelation, Katrina is full of beans and the newly formented Ranbir-Katrina chemistry sets the screen on fire in this mad hatter's tea party that takes you on a roller-coaster ride as Raj Kumar Santoshi tries to retrack his way to his Andaz Apna Apna days. The Salman-Aamir comic caper may not have stormed the box office in the 1990s but today, it has devoted fans who don't miss it on its umpteen TV re-runs. Ajab Prem... might not suffer the same fate and may kick up some fun moments in the here and now, rather than the future.

And why not! For not only Ranbir and Katrina, the rest of the cast is in crackling form too. Of course, leading the brat pack is Ranbir's ninth-drop out Prem, the president of the Happy club, who hangs out with all the losers in town, calls a Ferrari a Fawwari and abducts young girls to send them packing to their boyfriends, for a living. He falls in love with Jenny (Katrina Kaif), the prettiest newbie in town, who's smart, sassy, orphaned and in need of a friend. And yes, she's also a vegan, with a penchant for pudine ki chutney with moong dal pakodas. But that's a home truth our hero takes time to learn, along with another fact of life that makes it difficult for him to cross the thin line between best buddy and boy friend. But the Ranbir-Katrina dosti draws its flavour from the other characters too. Like, Ranbir's adorable mum-dad (Smita Jaykar-Darshan Zariwala) who love him any which way and the local don Sajid (Zakir Husain) who has neither a functional cell phone nor a loaded gun. All he has is hot air. The plot progresses like a jolly ride into cuckoo land as Ranbir tries to bring Katrina's love story to a logical end. Of course, he does manage to succeed, despite his bumbling ways and ends up stealing the show with his crazy antics, his witty one-liners and his comic sense of timing. Katrina matches him step by step, creating the perfect tango that has just a few moments of tedium: a tardy middle and a clumsy climax where most of the gags have a been there done that feel.

But that's just a minor irritant. For some of the scenes give you all your paisa-vasool entertainment. Watch Ranbir chaperone Katrina to a dance party, with a permanent waltz in his step and a goofy grin on his lips or see him don her girlie pink top to save her skin and carry on a monologue with Jesus: it's fun unlimited. Add to this Pritam's peppy music score with Neeraj Shridhar, Atif Aslam, Hard Kaur, Sunidhi Chauhan and Mika raising a toast to high-spirited song and dance and Raj Kumar Santoshi penning some of the funniest dialogues in recent times and you have a great escape awaiting you at your favourite audi this weekend. Go, have a ball.

A WORD ABOUT IT
PERFORMANCE;   It's a Ranbir Kapoor show all the way, with an electrifying companion act by Katrina Kapoor. Ranbir's Prem is goofy and gung-ho as the loser you most definitely lose your heart to, while Katrina's Jenny is a delighful blend of oomph and innocence. Together, they make a sizzling pair that manages to transcend the intermittent tedium of the script. Watch out for their next: Rajniti.

MUSIC : Pritam's audio score simply rocks. It captures the youthful exuberance of the film without diluting the melody. More importantly, it channelises the talent of Bollywood's hottest crooners. Surefire chartbusters: Prem ki Naiyya, Tu jaane na and Tera Hone Laga Hoon.
 
Choreography: It's a whirlygig of colour and motion up there, as choreographer Ahmed Khan strikes a twenty-something beat to his foot-stomping numbers. Watch out for Ranbir's tribute to grand uncle Shammi Kapoor. He's on fire.

Dialogue: Raj Kumar Santoshi gets witty and colloquial, peppering his script with some really funny lines. Sample this: Bholenath's third eye open, I go phus! Ranbir tells Jesus. Or else: Kya ladki hai! Baal silky silky, gaal milky milky, ekdum vanilla ice cream...Tacky yet teasing.

Story: Inconsistencies in the story do bring down the tempo of the film. Parts of the second half -- the Upen Patel track -- puts the brakes on the merriment and the climax is a shoddy bunch of gags.

Cinematography: The camera goes into soft focus, creating a colourful small town peopled with lovable simpletons. Thiru's artistry however explodes in the romantic duet, Tu Jaane Na, shot luxuriously in Turkey. The camera serenades Katrina like never before.

Styling: Fluoroscent is fun: That's the buzzword here as Ranbir and Katrina flaunt a palette brimming over with bright yellows, greens and oranges. While Katrina revels in her Alice band (read girlie) attire, Ranbir flaunts his pinks and manages to sashay down the screen with bizarre combos too. Like, a blue shirt with red pockets...Now how outrageous is that!
