Bollywood (now hollywood) actress Mallika Sherawat is enjoying the company of snakes. The actress, who plays a snake-woman in her forthcoming film Hisss, brought real snakes to unveil the film at the ongoing 62nd Cannes Film Festival. “All the Sssnakes have just entered the Majestic Hotel in Cannes! Hissstory is being made:) (sic!),” Mallika wrote on her Twitter page.
“Headed to the Vanity Fair event at hotel Du Cap... For 2morro’s Hisss event, @NuclearMango is gonna live-stream me and the Sssnakes:) (sic!),” she had written in an earlier post on the micro-blogging website.
Directed by Hollywood’s Jennifer Lynch, the film also stars Irrfan Khan and Divya Dutta. Mallika is also promoting her other new film, Love, Barack, which will be screened at the film festival. A romantic comedy directed by Doug McHenryset, it is set during Barack Obama’s campaign for the US Presidency and the shooting of the film was completed in Los Angeles last month.
Mallika is having a gala time at Cannes as she has found a new friend in Hollywood actress Salma Hayek, with whom she had dinner. “Hung out last nite with my new friend Salma Hayek. Adore her!!” Mallika tweeted.

RAAVAN - Music Review
Beera, in true Rahman style, takes a spirited, free-flowing life of its own; the energizing tune, completely fresh vocals of Mustafa Kutoane’s literally African sound and Vijay Prakash’s spritely rendition…it all adds up perfectly. Behene de is gorgeous! Resembling the style of Taj Mahal’s Kuliridhu is a massive advantage, even as it takes many fascinating turns midway. Karthik is in dazzling form in this track!
Thok di killi’s exotic sounds and energy have it in great stead even beyond those occasionally predictable Arabic’esque phases, thanks in large doses to the energiser bunny-level liveliness of Sukhwinder Singh. The way it ends, in almost a frenzy, is a nice touch! Ranjha ranjha, with its methodically ascending orchestration and earthy vocals by Rekha Bharadwaj, offers instant gratification.
Add to that, Javed Ali’s polished vocals, some scintillating interludes and sheer lyrical drama by Gulzar – this is a clear winner! Khili re is Rahman-template in every note…that semi-devotional, heartfelt rendition by a lady – sounds functional, but is also the sole mildly-appealing track. Kata kata is a euphoric victory, but immediately catchy and hummable, with enough mindboggling layers hidden to unravel on multiple listens. Mani, as always, continues to bring the best out of Rahman!
