Actress Ayesha Dharker gets a special welcome as she flew down from London to attend the screening of Santosh Sivan's critically acclaimed The Terrorist.

Dharker won rave reviews for her realistic portrayal of a human bomb in the film. More recently, she was hailed for her role as vamp in Andrew Lloyd Webber's $7 million musical Bombay Dreams, which opened June. Starring Preeya Kalidas and Raza Jaffrey, it had its music scored by India's A R Rahman.

Already a hit at London's West End, Bombay Dreams is poised to hit New York's Broadway and perhaps Mumbai, too.
