All we know of her role is that it is well etched and stands out in the film alongside its strong storyline. The film is about nameless relationships. The film revolves around the Bhuj Earthquake in 2001. The film also stars Manisha Koirala as a socialite. The set up may not be like the page 3 kinds but she plays a hard-core socialite. Kay Kay Menon plays an earthquake victim. All the characters have been written in a way that they look well etched and stand out alongside the story. It is a very emotional story line and has a 70's feel to it. The director Sengupta gives this film as a tribute to Gulzar's Khamoshi and Aandhi.

Manisha Koirala to do an item number in 'Nagaram'
The last time we heard of her in a south Indian film, it was for Kamal Haasan's Mumbai Express. The film didn't work at the box-office and Manisha was forgotten too. Unfortunately for her, she hasn't been in anything big in a very, very, long time. But now, a little birdie from tinsel town tells us that she will be doing an item number in Srikant's forthcoming film titled Nagaram. While we are really happy that we would be seeing her after a long time in Telugu, we wonder what made the makers opt for Manisha Koirala in the first place. Whatever the reasons, we liked her in Criminal and only hope that she will be able to revive her career soon.
