Aishwarya Rai to act in a Martin Scorsese Movie!
Aishwarya Rai and Martin Scorsese: Charmed, I'm sure.
Aishwarya Rai in a Martin Scorsese film? Wow, this should be good (thank God she finally learnt how to act!) She’s even invited to dinner as his special guest this Sunday, oooh fancy! Apparently he loved her in buddy Sanjay Leela Bansali’s Devdas.
Psst! Scorsese is now working on restoring Uday Shankar’s classic dance-ballet film Kalpana.
Actually, this is kinda cool…
scene from the movie Kalpana
Many Indian filmmakers, including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, consider Kalpana to be the ultimate cinematic dance extravaganza. The 1948 black-and-white classic is written and directed by Uday Shankar (Pandit Ravi Shankar’s brother) and his wife Amala. There’s no full and complete print of Kalpana available in India. But now the World Film Foundation is going to take over the job of making Kalpana viewable across the world. Actor-director Satish Kaushik, who recently met Scorsese in Dubai, confirmed, “Martin Scorsese has definite plans of restoring Uday Shankar’s Kalpana. I saw The Mummy, a 1969 Egyptian film that has been restored.” Cool eh? Whenever I see these people frozen in time (especially in black & white) I wonder what their lives were like. What they did for fun and since they were obviously “celebrities” of their time how similar or different they were to the lot we have now… I always wonder.

I still don’t think she can act. Devdas was like her ONLY good performance. The woman is just pretty, not talented in the least.

Why are Indians always SO eager to put down other Indians the minute they attain the tiniest bit of fame/ recongnition internationally? *sigh* We have to be the most self-loathing race

If Indians were to recognized for their Philosophers, Poets, Physicist no one would object but sadly these field are as barren as the Saharan desert. Why do we always consider fame only limited to starlets and fashions. Very shallow, very limited world view!!

@ Jaya “We have to be the most self-loathing race”
Ain’t that the truth buddy!!! And we have to be the most racist bunch of people ever!

Ash cannot act. She poses and bats her lashes. Even her dancing is mediocre.
Jaya, sweetie, Indians are anything but a single race. Compare Sourabhee Debbarma, Bhavna Menon, and Gul Panag. Check your head!

I gotta say I used to think she had zero acting skill (like in Devdas) but she’s proved me wrong time and again, I think given the right circumstances and a good director she does a pretty good job!

@neha, that is totally la accent. every word.
@jaya, agree totally. indians cannot see anyone else prosper.

The Only thing she possess is beauty.She was never a great actress.
May 1st, 2011 at 12:49 pm
oh..just like she was ‘offered’ the bond girl role? till the bond people had to come out and make an official statement that they never offered her the role! If only the so called ‘actress’ could act ..her PR wouldn’t have to go overdrive with lies…sighh
