Excuse me, which Oscar winning performance of Ms. Rai have we idiots criticized or missed? Was it "Mistress of Spices" maybe?... Oh you mean "Bride & Prejudice." Please enlighten us we are dying to know! Ms. Rai is just another taller Paris Hilton without the dogs, if I may add. Other than the Indian movie "Raincoat" and maybe "Choker Bali" she has done nothing "Indian" worth mentioning, I'll have you know.
Ash is a pretty prop not an actress! Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Burgman, Merrill Streep were/are beautiful actresses with amazing talents. Ms. Rai has a long way to go to make the transition from eye candy to actress. 😡
Aishwarya Rai looks ethereal. In fact, it's after HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM that Ash has looked heavenly and performed so convincingly. She emotes through her expressive eyes and the consistency in her performance is evident from start to end. This can easily rank amongst her prized assignment in her repertoire.- by Taran Adarsh an indian critic my first quote was referred to such reviews by most of the critics, where they merely talk about her looks and costumes and in just a single line will speak about her performance.
If any other actress would have been her place , critics would have talked so much over the top things for their performance and given examples of scenes where they have shined, kike asking readers to just have a look at that scene , or at climax. But when it comes to ash , i think there is dearth of words for critics, and mind u, we expect this from critics only when she gives good performance lke she recently gave in UMRAOJAAN.
Sad, that i got such reply from u miss bunbutt_too.
and yes , i think u seem to be an critic looking at ur reply, and ur posting itself showed what mindset and narrow minded approach u have for writng reviews for Ms. Rai.
Sad, that u r very much enthuastic ,proud n happy to name "MISTRESS OF SPICES" n "BRIDE & PREJUDICE" but when she has done something remarkable in films like "RAINCOAT" N "CHOKHERBALI" and also according to me in "HDDCS,DEVDAS,KANDUKONDAIN KANDUKONDAIN(i suppose this is not indian for u) " then that for u seems " just worth mentioning" .
True , her no. of flops r more than hits, but atleast be fair enough that when person puts forward good work, to praise it fullheartedly rather using "just" worth for thier work.
i think u got enlighten by this, i made u know what u have missed , i supose ,i just tried to.
Critic should be one who praises good thing and critisizes bad thing, but when someone does something good, u r so narrow minded u have to use words "just" worth to talk about a person and particularly for ash.
