Kate Winslet says fans recognise her more for 'The Holiday' than 'Titanic'

Oscar winner Kate Winsletsays that more people recognise her for her role in the 2006 romantic comedy The Holiday than Titanic, the 1997 disaster epic.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show, host Jimmy Fallon asked the actor if she knew The Holiday, a Christmas movie by Nancy Meyers, would be a big hit.


In her reply, Winslet said: "People come up to me in the street more about The Holiday and the episode of Extras (TV show) that I did than Titanic. I promise you. Especially at Christmas."

In James Cameron's multiple award-winning blockbuster Titanic, she and Leonardo DiCaprio starred as members of different social classes who fall in love during the maiden and doomed voyage of the Titanic ship.

The Holiday, however, was the story of two lovelorn women — played by Winslet and Cameron Diaz — from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean who swap their homes to escape heartbreak during the Christmas and holiday season.

Winslet, 48, further said women often tell her they watch the rom-com every Christmas as a ritual.

"What's so lovely is that mothers and daughters come up to me in the grocery store and they say, 'OK, we just love The Holiday. It's our little ritual at Christmas.' And they have things that they eat every year. They sit down, it's a tradition, and I just love that. That's something I never would have expected, this sort of mother-daughter connection around a film like that. It's so nice," she added.

Winslet's latest project is the upcoming miniseries The Regime, a political satire from HBO.

'Thudarum' review round-up: Mohanlal returns to form in a dark, emotional ride that’s winning hearts

Director Tharun Moorthy’s Thudarum has drawn attention not just for its gripping storyline, but for bringing back the Mohanlal audiences have longed to see: an actor rooted in emotion rather than spectacle. With critics praising both the writing and performances, Thudarum has emerged as a memorable addition to Mohanlal’s long filmography, with reviewers calling it a return to form.

Across the board, reviewers highlight how the film presents Mohanlal as Shanmugham (nicknamed Benz), a humble taxi driver and former stuntman who now lives a quiet life in a Kerala village with his wife, played by Shobana, and two children. His prized possession is his old black Ambassador car, a gift from a mentor which becomes central to the plot when it’s unknowingly used, setting off a chain of devastating events.

Can Sreeleela fill the big Bollywood void?

It is no secret that Bollywood is facing a talent drought. While established stars continue to dominate screens, there is a clear gap when it comes to younger actors making a strong mark.

In the past, each generation delivered a crop of newcomers who injected fresh energy into the industry. That pattern has stalled in recent years, with fewer young actors making a lasting impression. Into this space steps Sreeleela, a fast-rising actor from the South who has begun to attract serious attention in Hindi cinema.
