Strangers rescues Nandana

Nandana Sen would have certainly wanted to forget a misadventure called Marigold: An Adventure in India but she would be ending the year on a happier note with her performance in Strangers coming for much appreciation.

She may have been making selective appearances over the years (My Wife's Murder, Tango Charlie, Black) and not really taken seriously by the big daddies of Bollywood but the sensual actress has made much more than just her presence felt in Strangers.

Enacting the complex part of a woman who is seeing her husband (Jimmy Sheirgill) drifting away into a strange domain with no earnings or emotional support to boast, Nandana gives a good account of herself in this Aanand L Rai debut directorial venture.

Required to demonstrate various traits in her character while using her Western accent to her advantage, Nandana comes up with a convincing act in this film which has started finding its audience at select multiplexes.
