Manisha Koirala's shocking comeback

Now this one would go down as one of the most shocking comebacks of not just the current year but for a much longer time period. The actress is Nepali bombshell Manisha koirala.
Imagine a top actress from the past returning to celluloid after a hiatus and let aside any hype or hoopla, there is not enough the slightest hint of awareness created amongst the audience. To top it, the film even has the actress playing the central protagonist in the title role.
Well, the film in question is Tulsi - Mathru Devo Bhava, the film is releasing this Friday on 18th January and the actress is, hold your breath, none other than Manisha Koirala.
Yes, that's right. 3 years after she was last seen as a lead actress in Mumbai Express (2005), Manisha Koirala is returning as a leading lady in Tulsi - Mathru Devo Bhava. In between she was seen as a supporting actress in films like Taj Mahal - An Eternal Love Story (2005), Anjaane - The Unknown (2005), Darwaza Bandh Rakho (2006) and Anwar (2007) but each of them met with a disastrous fate at the box office.
Now even Manisha returns with Tulsi - Mathru Devo Bhava this Friday, there are as good as minimal chances for the film to fare any better since as it is clearly suffering from poor marketing, patchy promotion and haphazard release. What a pity because the film has none other than Irrfan Khan as Manisha's on-screen husband.

Manisha had acted in decent number of films and with different directors. Her other notable films include Champion, opposite Sunny Deol, Lajja, opposite Jackie Shroff, etc. She had done very well opposite Amir Khan in the film Mann.
