Calendar Watch: Dabboo Ratnani 2009
January 8th, 2009 at 8:01 pm . by PayalUpdate: A lot of you guessed it right, right away!
Dabboo Ratnani’s 2009 calendar is out and can I say I am not impressed! Why would I want to buy something I have already seen before. Case in point, the month of November which features Amrita Arora pulling off a Lara Croft.
Now, why does that seem familiar? That’s because we have already seen this spread before in the July Maxim India issue!
The calendar has lots more (four stars to a month) but none quite impressive. The only one that stood out was the B&W closeup below and only because it took me a while to figure out who the lady in this picture was and I think I finally know who it is! Can you guess?
You can check out all the months from the calendar here.

deepika?
The sultry b&w is of the highly talented Ms. Sen Sharma….aka Koko aka Konkona!!
B&W poster lady looks like KoKo.
Amrita’s look is very dated- and comparing yourself to Angelina Jolie is a very very very baaad idea
My first thought was Jessica Alba- but that can’t be right- can it?
thats konkona!!! and she looks great…..such mystique
actually i take that back…thats kajol…phew! took me a while…now I’m a little disappointed coz I realized dabboo ratnani would never get konkona for his calendar
Is that Konkona Sen Sharma???
its konkana
Konkona SenSharma
I knew who it was from the first glance, its konkona sen!
yay i was the first to post!
Sonam, Vidya, Ayesha, Ash, Kareena looks fabulous. Rest are sooo bleh..
Looks like either Kangna or Ameesha but that can’t be correct???!!
konkona
P&P, it is TOO easy… that’s Konkona Sen Sharma!!!
Looks like Konkana Sen…very seductive.
konkana?
It’s Kajol in the black and white…isn’t it??
if you wanted to buy the calendar, where can you buy it from?
konkana?
Koko?
i love sonam, ayesha’s really cute n sushmita is fierce.. but yes there is nothing new about the calendar.. it looks like i have seen these before..
Konkona Sen!
Koko aka Konkana Sen. She looks so 60′s..both impish and innocent
ITS KONKANA SEN SHARMA
OR DEEPIKA…looks more like KONKANA THOUGH!
its kajol!
I know! I know! I know! Will wait to see if I am right.
Who’s the one in the lower- boobs-hanging-out pic? Kangana? I am kind of scandalized by it.
Its Konona. I guess you won’t be approving my comment then ;) it took me three good viewings to figure it out.
I meant Konkona!
Who is February? The lady showing a lot of skin, next to Shahid Kapoor.
I can’t for the love of God figure it out, it’s bugging me!
koko!!! nice!
i actually think that deepika, priyanka, aishwarya, sonam, vidya & shilpa rocked the calendar.
Lack of theme works against the entire calendar.
Arjun Rampal’s picture is by far the best, simple and not crass like many of the others.
The women are very disappointing, unfortunate. I mean one of them looks like a watch ad. And another a soap ad.
I know…I know..Konkona sen sharma…I hope I am right
is the b and white one of konkona?
konkana sen sharma?
this one is Deepika Padukone!!
No idea who that is whatsoever…plzzzzzzzz end the suspense!!!
konkona sen sharma
The mysterious lady is def none other then Koko… better known as Konkona SenSharma
huh
I think its konkona sen sharma
konkona…
The B&W pic is Deepika Padukone. I had it at first glance!
who is june?
obviously konkana sen
Konkana Sen !! Wow!!
The black & white photo is that of Konkona Sen Sharma
konkona sen sharma
is it konkana sen?
God knows why i feel its konkana… tho it really cant be!!
The B&W is Konkana Sen..right?
I am going to guess Konkona Sen Sharma!
And very drab calendar indeed. I liked the Kingfisher one better, it was very creative and beautiful locales!
Complete lack of creativity and add a lot of hype to that…just doesnt help, does it??
@ Jesse: thats exactly what I felt when I saw it. They all look like scans of Ads. Seriously…could he not get Aishwarya to do soemthing different FOR ONCE!
The only one that caught my attention was Abhay Deol
I’m guessing its Konkona Sen.
i think the close up is of deepika……
i think that feb could be Deepika Padukone.. is that right?
Konkona!!!
yep…it is Kangana…it is scandulous but artistic. Only she can pull it off with those naturally tight abs.
O gosh this is really poor form for the photographer in question. A vain attempt at being arty-farty. Plus, am still laughing my head off at Abhishek Bachchans picture (I think it was him anyway tugging pseudo-sexily at some item of clothing or another).
deepika i think
That’s Konkona Sen Sharma!
not as impressive as last year the lady in B&W i think is konkana sen sharma
Priyanka looks like she’s modeling for some very ordinary lingerie in Vic’s Secret. She’s had some much better pics!
It’s Konkona!
that woman is konkona…..I got to know in first look itself…
On second thoughts, i like ajay, arjun and kunal as well..
Konkana
My guess :Konkana
Shamita Shetty??? Now I look closely and it looks like Konkana….waiting for you to tell us!!!
I actually love Abhay Deol’s and Kunal’s pic..but I am biased! Ayeshas is cute and I like Bobby Deol’s old school look. Viveks is cool and Akshay is always a fav, same with Aish! Shahid, Rani, Kareena’s pics were some of the most boring ones!!
Sonam and Ash are BY FAR the most stunning
and OH MY GOD IS THAT KOKO?!?!
aishwarya looks good, but she looks the same all the time! boring.
Konkona? :?
I have no idea why we one would have a calendar which repeats the same month twice…
@ Jesse, that is Kangana Ranaut!!
The lady is Konkona?
Vidya Balan?
Oh what the hell, I’m going to hazard a guess… Konkona?
This is NOT a calendar… not by any standards. Mr. Ratnani needs to go check out the Campari or Pirelli calendars, to name just 2, to find out what a real collectible calendar should look like. His is just a collection of bad portfolio shots, fit only for the pages of a film mag.
My hubby says that it is Konkana Sen Sharma in B&W close-up :)
Agree with Jesse, No theme. I cant believe they made a calender and expect to sell it with these pics ! Other than Ajay Devgan’s pic…I dint like anything else. I think this one is Konkana Sen…
I think you guys are right, Konkona’s pic is the best, closely followed by Sonam’s. The calendar-shoot is not creative at all, some of the pics look like they’re straight from movie promotions; others are not artistically pleasing at all.
Konkana looks nice…I have nothing to say about Amrita!
Poor Vivek Oberoi, they made him a clown. There’s Imran Hashmi for the laughs. :-D
Its DEEPIKA PADUKON! Konkona doesnt ve feature which is tht sharp!
thats vidya balan
The BW picture is Ameesha Patel.
isnt that deepika??? it doesnt look like konkana!
Arre its obviously Konkana. Quite clear!
200% sure..its KonkSen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KANGANA R…Koko’s features are not this sharp…Deeps eyes are long, almond shaped. Kangana these days has been spotted wearing under-eye kajal….but both Kangana and Deeps have been featured elsewhere in the same calendar (Feb and June resp)… GOD pls help!!
and duh!! the bottom black and white pic is of konkana…com’on guyzzzz not that hard..only took me a glance to figure it out :p
it’s konkona, it can’t be deepika or amisha as they have other pics, no actress is repeated.
I can’t guess who is the woman in August next to Fardeen pics????
Why is it that in this calender nearly every other pic is of a kindda nude actress, seriously daboo lost all sense os creativity this time and just did face close ups and naked style pics.
Even kajol and ayesha have very similar sitting on a vehicle pic – how boring!!!!
Its definitely DEEPIKA..the chin gives it away.
It’s konkona although it does look a bit like Deepika too..
deepika padukone – looks to me ..
Konkana Sen! The nose is a dead giveaway!
And I agree – most pics in the calendar have been seen before. Nothing special and Abhishek Bachchan’s totally laughable!
Changed my mind.. Konkana Sen -CD – You are right about the nose! Deepika’s nose is much sharper
shame..most pics r really vulgar esp kangana, amisha, raima…seem more like they r posing for playboy
Ash is the only one who looks amazing (she looks like her olden days in this picture). Hrithik’s pic is cool too (love the way they used the sword), rest is all blaaah.
im only able to view the 2008 on the D-R website calendar gals!
am i missing something??
P & P …plz tell us who she is…
Tamanna,
It IS Konkona!
preeths,
Not sure, but I checked again, and the link does point to the correct calendar.
koko looks wow!! so WOW!
