The tattoo on her arm, the bangles and bracelets on her wrist and the way she holds the microphone reminds one of Janis Joplin.
Yes, Sushmita Sen is turning a rockstar for director Tanuja Chandra’s movie Zindagi Rocks , which was previously titled ‘Rockin’.
Although rock n’ roll plays an important part of the movie, ‘Zindagi Rocks’ is not just about music. Rather, it is an urbane, progressive love story between a rock singer and a doctor. It is a story of romance between two people with very contrasting personalities.
Besides Sush, the movie stars Shiney Ahuja , Moushmi Chatterjee (in a double role), Kim Sharma and Seema Biswas.
The film has Sushmita playing a rock singer named Kriya. Shiney Ahuja plays Suraj Rihan, a doctor with a tragic past. The film is the story of relationship between these two people. Shiney’s character in the film is very shy while Sush’s is fun-loving and flamboyant. It is she who makes the first move on the reclusive doc.
Also part of the movie’s plot is Sush’s family.
What is commendable about Sush’s character in the film is her styling. There is a goddess tattoo on her arm, bracelets on her wrists and she sports other trinkets associated with rock stars.
The film will have five soft rock songs composed by Anu Malik . Singer Sunidhi Chauhan is Sushmita’s voice for these songs.
Tanuja Chandra has shot the film in Goa on a very skimpy budget.
