This is an article published in the Malaysian magazine called Cinefashion. It has very interesting articles and the grammar and spelling is just brilliant - compared to rubbish like Movieland and the self-praise filled Indian Movie News (IMN used to be so brillaint those days). I will put up Part One now and Part Two later.

Enjoy and comment!! It does not matter if you do not agree with the list - as Jyo is not there (since she is no longer acting), I found the list very interesting.
😃

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~******~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who scores in Cine Fashion's Star Power ranking? The midyear report on the guys and gals is ready and it's based on star value of Kollywood's current young crop of actors and actresses, Factors taken into consideration are recent box office record, contribution to the acting arena, sustainability, public perception, general popularity amongst audience and industry respectability.

1. NAYANTARA

Her amazing metamorphosis from the fresh faced, plump girl next door to being the unmistakable diva of Kollywood is surely one for the records. Nayantara has had every bit of drama thrown at her and yet she has sustained them all and bounced back in style (literally). A very public, failed romance with a fellow young star would have killed the career of most actresses but the way Nayan carried herself through her ordeal deserves high praise. She went off to Telugu, revamped her personality and timed her re-entry so well to become the Ballelakha girl, shocking many to ask if it was the same Nayantara. With her landmark 'appearance' in Billa, a very good response to Yaaradi Nee Mohini and being the leading lady to both Ajith and Vijay in back-to-back movies, Nayan is in cloud nine.


2. TRISHA

The only Tamil girl in our top ten, Trisha has proved her staying power with her consistency. Her demure, charming personality has endeared ger to the younger set of heroes as well as audiences who never seem to tire to watching her with good buddy Vijay. She's also doing pretty well in Telugu and is begiining to take the trouble to be even more experimental with her clothes, hair and even expressions. With Prakash Raj's Abhiyum Naanum, Trish's acting profile should also improve.

3. ASIN

The doe-eyed Kerala beauty has had the most number of box office hits. To her credit, she has even impressed the likes of Kamal Haasan and Aamir Khan with whom she shares credits in Dasavatharam and the Hindi Ghajini. Her movie selection record has been frighteningly good, which is why this talented young miss has now made Mumbai her base. For that reason she loses plenty of marks here.

4. SHREYA

Let's be fair to sexy Shreya. Sivaji undeniably opened many doors for her but it's also because of her gorgeous figure, admirable dress sense and dancing feet!! She single-handedly breathed life into Kollywood's fashion industry and will always be known for her sex appeal and little else. But she's also bagged movies with Vijay, Vikram, Dhanush and even in some Hollywood production, so that should tell you something about her box office appeal.

5. SNEHA

Solid, reliable talented Miss Thousand Watts Smile has managed to ward off so many potentially destructive scandels and yet has landed on her feet every time. No amount of gossip has spoiled her star rating simply because she is one of the best actresses we have at the moment.

😆 😆 Karthi, u are fast. Last night while waiting for my dad, i manage to get this copy and was reading it. I thought of putting up here. Really, did you read the man power too?? The choices was not so right naa. But you only put up the 5, what about the balance 5?? 😉 Second part huh??

But i agree with Nayan at first place. She did a good job in Billa and in YNM 👏 👏. Im suprise to see Sneha name there too. Not much movies from her on 2007 naa. And i thought Asin would be second. Who wud have thought about Trisha ahead Asin 😆😉....

Are you goin to put of for the guys too?

Wait lah, Nets, a lot of work typing the article. Actually I have had CF for more than a week - I always look out for it for the past three months now as it has become my favourite magazine. Some of the stuff they come out are brilliant especially when they seem to reflect our thoughts e.g. Namitha and her sense of dressing.😆 So I will do Part 2 when I am free, and yes, I will do the Manpower article as well. Last month's cover had Surya on the cover. Man....

Yes, I agree with Nayan and I thought that how sad Sneha should be described as solid and dependable. True but sad.

But the article did say that Asin lost out on marks because she has chosen Mumbai as her base. Which is quite correct, if you think about it.

I like the list 😊

It was really wise of them to name Nayan 1st. She has been looking amazingly stunning in her recent movies;not to mention Billa. The fact tht she experiments with her clothes and styles and even her roles too makes her different. Tht's where Asin loses the mark frm me.

It's too early to say tht Asin's left Kollywood. I don't hv much hopes on Ghajini.Aamir Khan is known to give a hit and a flop consecutively 😆If it doesn't click there for her, she'll be back here.

Finding Sneha in the list was surprising. Of course, she has forver been pleasant and charming.but one among the top five? I read somewhere tht Bhavan is no:5 now 😕

Um......Karthi.Surya featured in this magizine's cover page? Do u think u can post it here?😉

haha.. i don't think much fashion can be derived from shreya's clothes since she is rarely fully clothed. there are will always bits and pieces hanging out.😆😆😆 she's more of a handkerchief kind of girl, be it top or bottom. and yes.. she will always be known for her sex appeal and absolutely nothing else.
even trisha and asin both of them whom i really dislike are considerably better actresses than shreya. at least trisha lip synchs well and asin dubs for herself with all the right expressions.😊
anyways that was an interesting article karthikka. can't wait for part 2.😃
