What was so SPECIAL about BRIDE and PREJUDICE?!!

😉😆 So, when I look back at Aish's career, she had some milestones. Everyone knows her for Devdas, HDDCS, Taal, Jodhaa Akbar, Raincoat, Chokher Bali, and her sexy role in Dhoom 2. But, noone talks about Bride and Prejudice that much. In the interview I just posted, she says it was a milestone in cinema. But, when I watched the movie, it was strictly okay. I am glad it was a success internationally. But, Gurinder Chadha never had a hit film after that. Why is that? 😲 I remember the film was panned in India because critics were hard on Aish for doing an English film. Aish is the only actress that has had a hit film in English. So, I will always hold that film special for this very reason. What was so SPECIAL about BRIDE and PREJUDICE?! Please share your thoughts.

Nothing really special.

Just that whole big talk about Bollywood entering Hollywood. The lead actor wasn't even known in Hollywood then. He was some actor from NZ programme called Shorthand Street

Nothing at all.

Martin Henderson as Darcy was a total misfit.

Bring on as many versions as you can, Colin Firth will always remain Darcy!

Coming to the movie, it was silly. Really. You read the book and try watching the movie, you'll wanna throw something at them. It's plain bad.

There were parts of that movie that I found funny. But overall, I didn't enjoy it as much. Aishwarya always brings in that weird accent. Even if it's not fake, there's something weird about it. But she's so gorgeous that it doesn't even matter. They could have casted some better known opposite her and that could have helped.

This movie was so crap. 😳

That movie was seriously the worst adaptation of pride and prejudice!!! and I just couldnt see elizabeth bennet in Ash and not to say anything about darcy!!

I feel like Richard Armitage needs to play Darcy or Michael Fassbender if they do another version (not like we need anymore), but these 2 men are so under-rated in their periodic pieces. Armitaged in North and South and Fassbender in Jane Erye were excellent.

🤗 Yes, yes, yes! RICHARD ARMITAGE was the only one who kinda dethroned Colin Firth for me. I can't ever forget North and South. It's like...there...with Sherlock!
My two best shows ever.

I've watched Jane Eyre too. And yes, Fassbender was good...but you know Armitage's eyes. Nothing tops him, IMO. (Except maybe Cumberbatch)

Yes, but Aish participated and benefitted from it a little bit. I am glad she did something different whereas we see other actresses do the same rhona/dhona for most of their career. 😛
