I agree with Mad Munky.. The captions totally had me ROFL :D:D<br /><br />I see no hope for Hindi movie heroines.. They still have to have a man in their lives to be happy, to be successful etc etc.. In films of course.. I guess our desi society will not accept anything less.. <br /><br />Talking about Priyanka&#39;s acting abilities, did you hear about Ashutosh Gowarikar railing against Priyanka Chopra usurping Aishwarya Rai at all award functions for best actor - female.. Created a huge ruckus in the industry I hear.. And I also read that it was Jaya Bacchan who incited him to bring this point up at the awards function.. Good to see MIL fighting for her DIL.. No saas bahu kissa here.. :-))<br /><br />ps: Going back a few posts on how much singers charge for a song, here&#39;s a link I read this morning. Pritam charges Rs 15 lakhs for a song :-O<br /><br />http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Bollywood/15-lac-for-a-song/articleshow/4729528.cmsDeepahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05713277760418137480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-47012740012907869142009-07-02T23:08:34.358-05:002009-07-02T23:08:34.358-05:00I hated Fashion - melodramatic cliched storyline and bad acting. I won&#39;t even rant about the racist scene with the black guy. arghh<br /><br />I can&#39;t believe Priyanka won awards for this lifeless performance. She has dead eyes - no emotions show through to reflect what she is feeling. Kanga has played the same type of role in all her movies thus far.<br /><br />BTW it was not a sleeper hit. The movie did average business from the multplexes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-43477463988965287522009-07-02T15:14:40.945-05:002009-07-02T15:14:40.945-05:00I suppose it shouldn&#39;t be lost on anyone that Priyanka&#39;s character propels Fashion - and it was the biggest sleeper hit of recent times.<br /><br />Hmmm...wonder what the audience demographic was like?Aspihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060207061740733110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365538972650430145.post-55478336973785945652009-07-02T13:53:10.290-05:002009-07-02T13:53:10.290-05:00great post...the captions crack me up!!! *still laughing*<br /><br />i quite enjoyed the film - kangana&#39;s just born to do those roles...she doesn&#39;t even have to try to act unhinged.<br /><br />your &#39;bhais&#39; comment reminded me of oe of my favourite movie lines - &#39;gayi bhais paani mein&#39; from Mr India.
