It is no secret, Genelia D’ Souza didn't have a very good 2005.

She herself knows that. After all, the petite actress is a smart thinker and is also known to be very critical of herself. All successful performers are.

Genelia was hamstrung by some poor choice of films. But she is not the one to let the past unduly spoil her present.

The beautiful girl, who made so much impact through films like Boys, Sye, is hoping to have a better year.

The portents are very encouraging for her.

Her first release will be Happy. The movie with Allu Arjun, as everyone knows, is one of the biggest movies of the season.

With Allu Arjun on an enviable hot winning streak, the movie would in all probability set it up for Genelia.

She is also pretty hopeful on the project. ‘It is a nice entertainers,’ she says.

After that, she has been paired with her first hero Siddharth in Bommarillu.

That is also a good augury.

I hope to pick up momentum as I go along, she says.

Genelia is one actress who combines both performance and poise.

She surely deserves a better year.
