Going back behind the camera for the first time since her ill-fated directorial debut, Pooja Bhatt has abandoned adult themes for a fairytale romance. We caught up with the filmmaker and the cast of the film on the last day of the shooting.
Pooja Bhatt’s ‘Holiday’ is over. The producer-director is shooting the last scene of her new film. Evidently inspired by the evergreen Hollywood hit, ‘Dirty Dancing’, Pooja’s ‘Holiday’ is a heart-warming story of a young girl’s search for her identity while on vacation, where she ends up falling hook, line and sinker for her salsa-dance instructor. The film stars newcomer Onjalee Nair and Dino Morea in pivotal roles, and a host of other actors including Nauheed Cyrusi, Kashmira Shah, Sanjeet Bedi and Gulshan Grover.
Most of the film has been shot in Goa, and when asked about the selection of the location, Pooja is quick to retort, “Whenever you think of vacation, Goa comes to our minds. So what better location than Goa for a film called ‘Holiday’. Not only the filmmaker but the cast also enjoyed the destination. ” Goa is absolutely lovely you don’t feel like you are working there. I had a ball filming for the film,” says Nauheed Cyrusi.

It may be true that, as Tennyson wrote: "In the spring, a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love."
For women, though, the season for romance is autumn. That's when we fall in love with fashion, swooning for cashmere and tweed, dreaming over velvet and fur, longing for great tailoring and elegant silhouettes.
Luckily for fashion lovers, fall 2005 offers more romantic intrigue than a Victorian novel in three volumes.
Recent seasons have been flirty and fun, but now it's as if fashion's debutante ball has ended and the ingenue has emerged as a woman, all sleek and soignee and sophisticated.
