Yes! Wishes are horses and Dabboo Ratnani rides them. The famous tinsel town photographer has clinched it again, outdoes what he is best at – making Roman Gods out of not-so-ordinary Bollywood celebrities.

Aptly, the Pirelli of India, Dabboo Ratnani Calendar 2012 like always serves the visual feast, a sumptuous one, garnished with Bollywood stardust featuring seductresses going topless and debonair bald. Also posing alike are cradle-snatchers and ephebes, bringing a refreshing breath through brushes going unrestrained – sometimes dreamy, sometimes winking with ‘hold your knickers’.

The latest edition of the calendar features who’s who of the dream land shot aesthetically in closed spaces, mostly in black-and-white. From covering Amitabh Bachchan peeping out of ripped newspaper to Don 2 hung-over smoke smothered Shahrukh Khan, the man- behind-the-lens Dabboo has amazingly rendered a distinct character to every star while capturing the zeitgeist.

Portraying the glamour with sensuality, the calendar which was first launched in 1999 has had featured every big name of Bollywood. The campiness didn’t go a spec less in an eventful decade where the newest one has serenely dirty Vidya Balan wearing nothing but only few jewels around her neck and glammed up Aishwarya flashing emerald in her eyes. Touché!
