Soha Ali Khan Movies
Two stars find their paths rising and falling within the Bollywood studio system in this nostalgic musical drama from director and screenwriter Sudhir Mishra. It's the mid-Fifties, and Nikhat (Soha Ali Khan) is a lovely young woman who dreams of a career in the movies. When Nikhat meets Prem Kumar (Rajat Kapoor), a well-known actor whose career is starting to go into decline, he helps her land a small role in a film, and soon Nikhat becomes the protégé of studio chief Khosa (Saurabh Shukla). As Nikhat rises to sudden fame, another new face becomes a force to be reckoned with at the studio -- Zafar (Shiney Ahuja), a successful and well-respected playwright who discovers he has a knack for writing movie scripts. After penning a handful of hits, Zafar becomes an important director, with his close friend Shyamol (Vinay Pathak) as his right-hand man. As the studio's leading actress and best director, Zafar and Nikhat become Bollywood royalty, and it surprises no one when the two fall in love. However, in the grand tradition of show biz romances, Zafar and Nikhat's relationship runs into a rough patch when she becomes an alcoholic and he falls from favor with Khosa and his associates. Khoya Khoya Chand (aka Lost Moon) received its American premiere at the 2008 Palm Springs Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Three neglected husbands get the job opportunity of a lifetime in this Bollywood musical comedy. Veer (Zayed Khan), Raj (Fardeen Khan), and Aryan (Sharman Joshi) are three close friends whose lives have taken a turn for the worst -- all three have lost their jobs, and all three have wives who are too busy with their own lives and careers to tend to their husbands in the bedroom. Diya (Esha Deol) is trying to launch her career in show business, Bhavna (Ayesha Takia) is obsessed with her spiritual side, and Sonia (Soha Ali Khan) is occupied with her law practice. Things are so grim for the husbands that they begin pondering suicide, but one Mr. Kothari (Satish Shah) comes to the rescue when he gives them jobs, and then asks a very special favor of them. Kothari has three beautiful daughters who all balk at the notion of having their father arrange marriages for them; to show them the folly of following their own hearts, Kothari wants the three husbands to woo and win the young ladies, and then break their hearts. Veer, Raj, and Aryan are happy to go along, but ending their relationships with the beautiful and willing women proves more difficult than they imagined, and the situation becomes stickier when the eligible bachelorettes strike up a friendship with the three betrayed wives. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
