“In much the same manner, a few months ago, a young girl-next-door with confidence and poise made the audience take note of her in Tanu Weds Manu. And no, we are not talking about Kangana Ranaut but the girl who played her friend, 26-year-old Swara Bhaskar. Her great screen presence and wonderful voice made her stand out in stark contrast to the gauche heroine. In a big-star production like Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maaro Dum, 30-year-old Bangalore actor Gulshan Devaiah demanded attention in the throwaway role of drug-peddler Ricky. Twenty-nine-year-old Arjun Mathur impressed with sensitivity and sincerity in the role of Rahul Bose’s lover in I Am. The viewers of Shor in the City came out talking about kohl-eyed stunner Radhika Apte, in the role of a simple, young bride who also happens to be a Paulo Coelho fan. The film also had the mercurial, hyper-energetic tapori Mandook, played by a little-known actor from Bhubaneshwar, 27-year-old Pitobash. And 26-year-old Raj Kumar Yadav, a talent Dibakar Banerjee discovered in his edgy Love, Sex and Dhokha, lived up to the promise as the hero of Ragini MMS, a surprise hit.

You may wonder who they are, you may not be able to put a name to their faces, but each of these actors would have lingered on in your mind much after you walked out of that multiplex. A far cry from larger-than-life, 70-mm wattage stars. Not into multi-crore endorsements. Young, real, like you and me, they are the real triumphs of the recent bunch of Hindi films.”
