Guzaarish Movie Review
Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Monikangana Dutta, Suhel SethDirector: Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Rating: ****
Breathe a sigh of relief. During a year when cacophonic crassness masquerading as comic entertainment has been sanctioned by critics and the masses, "Guzaarish" comes along to remind us that excellence is alive in our cinema.

Aishwarya who entered the industry with her demure yet sexy look has over the years put on a considerable amount of weight and yet has the panache of looking as beautiful as ever.
Kareena who forayed into films with her baggage of flab, lost kilos thereafter and went on to attain a size zero, only to get back into her normal shape after she kind of got bored with the pencil thin look!
Katrina who till recently had been on the flabby side, of course her bulges were in the right places giving her a
