Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai

“Endhiran”, one of the most anticipated movie of the year is finally on the verge of completion. It is believed to be one of the most expensive budget movie ever made in India. Well, i hope the film “Endhiran” does a little good and recovers what all has been invested in to it because we have all seen what happened with Mani Ratnam’s “Raavan”. If you do to much publicity and make the fans wait for too long, you tend to raise their expectation from the movie. And when you throw in lines like “Last movie of Rajinikanth” or “The most expensive movie ever”, well you just blow the audience mind. Now, it’s very difficult undoubtedly, for a movie this bug, to rise above the fans expectations. Isn’t it?

Anyways, i must be saying all this because i am really depressed with the outcome of the movie “Raavan”. Not only Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan worked hard for the movie but i worked hard on the news and articles as well. And it all goes down the drain! So, i am better off just quietly writing down the news rather than raising my expectations from the movie. Or probably i shouldn’t be expecting anything from the movies now. Period.

Alright, moving back to the topic. Endhiran is almost completed. In fact, it has a release date now. It’s 3rd of September 2010. However, it’s not official yet.

In words of director, S. Shankar “Well… except one song the whole film shooting is completed. The full edited film has been given to A.R.Rahman for background score and Resul Pookutty for the sound effects. Just waiting to shoot the last song and waiting for computer graphics work of the climax and some important scenes to be completed.” So there we have it, the official statement from the director himself. Hopefully we will soon have an official release date as well.

Where are my manners? I am not even talking about our dearest beloved actress Aishwarya Rai. Well, “Endiran” a.k.a “Robot” stars the most beautiful women Aishwarya Rai and the legendary actor Rajinikanth. I am not sure about the story of the movie but the rumor says that Rajinikanth plays the character of a scientist, who builds a robot for a physically handicapped child, to play with. However, things do not go as planned and the robot goes mad, maniac, out of control machine which stars killing people (like all bad robots do ). So the scientist Rajinikanth has to terminate his creation, the robot. Rumor also has it that Rajinikanth plays the role of both the scientist, as well as the robot. Double role ahaaan? So saving money on one more actor and yet the most expensive movie. LOL. Anyways, what is Aishwarya Rai doing in the movie then? Well, i do not know. I have no clue and no rumors about that particular thing either. Strange, right!!!

What i do know is that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is super gorgeous, the most beautiful women i have come across and that she is looking damn sexy in some still photographs that we have from movie “Endhiran”. I seriously hope this movie does well. I have no love for the movie but just for Aishwarya Rai’s sake. I know how much it hurts when your hard work doesn’t pay off. I have 9 years of hard work gone useless, just like that…. so i really know the extent of hurt. Anyways….i am again moving on to same old topic. Move on is what everyone says….so let’s see the pics from the movie “Endhiran” a.k.a “Robot”

Abhi Ash In Vogue

The gorgeous couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan may not have been able to impress the audience with their last movie “Raavan”, but they certainly have made a statement when it comes to fashion and style with Aishwarya and Abhishek featuring on July issue of Vogue magazine.

I think it’s needless to say that Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan looks like a million bucks on the cover issue. And they certainly look extremely hot and spicy and sensuous. Ooooomph! I need some water!!!!

This, apparently is the first time Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek together had some photoshoot for any magazine. So congratulations to Vogue Magazine for convincing the couple for the photoshoot. And hey! Aishwarya and Abhi didn’t just pose for the saucy photographs, but also let their passion peak in the inner spreads of the magazine.

Abhishek mentions in the magazine “It feels like we’ve spent our entire lives together”. Of course, we can see that in you love Abhishek!

The couple are seen wearing clothes and accessories from major clothing brands like Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Christian Dior, among few others. I specially like Aishwarya Rai’s outfit. Don’t ask me why.  I always like her outfits anyways.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek are not exactly known for letting their intimacy out on magazine photoshoots, but this time they seem to have made an exception. Just see the pics from the magazine and you be the judge

Aishwarya Rai

Alas! But it’s true. the so much anticipated Mani Ratnam’s movie “Raavan” was a major flop. It’s true that the movie was one of the most talked about film for Bollywood in 2010. But i guess this over-hype spoiled the fun and raised the fans expectation from the movie. Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, although one of the most loved couples and big stars, failed to weave their magic in the movie.

I, for one, know that the “Raavan” stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Abhishek Bachchan had worked their ass off for this film. They cancelled so many meetings, appointments and what not, so that they can give their 100 percent for the film. Despite the music guru A.R. Rahman magic and the awesome direction of Mani Ratnam, the movie failed to do well at Box Office or anywhere in world. If i had to blame one thing for the failure, i would say that it has to be the extra gimmicks and promotional crap that every crew member of “Raavana” had been doing for past 2-3 months. No doubt such gimmicks bring attention to a wide audience but when over-done, it also brings high expectations. Anyhow, i feel bad for the couple Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan. I know how heart broken they must have been to see the film do almost no business at all.

Such was the disappointment that an outraged fan lashes out his fury as he spits, “Abhishek is just not cut out for films. He is absolutely wooden. His movements are stiff, his face expressionless, his dialogue delivery flat. Not to mention his inability to dance or fight. He is neither goodlooking. Just being six feet tall doesn’t necessarily make one handsome. If not for his parents, Abhishek would have been working as a salesman in some merchant company, doing the rounds of Mumbai from morning to evening. Before he was getting films because of his father, now because of his wife. It is high time that such ‘ZERO-HEROES’ like him are completely thrown out of the film industry.” Oooomph! That was a little harsh i guess, blaming Abhishek for the failure. When a movie is not good, the whole cast and crew are responsible for it. It’s not right to play the blame game.

Amazingly, Reliance opened the film “Raavan” in some 2200 screens in 35 countries. That was a pretty big launch indeed. I am not sure how much the movie raked in, but many a movie halls claim that they didn’t see any house fulls after the first weekend. In fact at many halls, the movie didn’t even make it past the first week. I don’t know if these are rumors or not but i guess that’s what happened considering how much disappointed people really are.

I am pretty sure about one thing though. Aishwarya Rai is a beautiful talented actress. Abhishek Bachchan perhaps not as good as Aishwarya, but he still is in the top actors of the country. Mani Ratnam is a fantastic director as well. A.R. Rahman is a magician with music. So am pretty sure they all will strike back. It’s just one movie at the end of the day. They all will forget about it soon enough. But this definitely is the last time we heard about “Raavan”. I don’t think any “sequel” or “alternate ending” will be planned. Goodbye “Raavan”

Aishwarya n Abhishek

It’s the world premiere of Mani Ratnam’s movie “Raavan” and the lovely couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan arrives in London in style. Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan with wife Jaya Bachchan also came along at the premiere along with the director Mani Ratnam and music guru A.R. Rehman!

The Bachchan’s family along with the cast and crew of “Raavan” arrived at British Film Institute Southbank complex next to the River Thames in central London where they were treated with red carpet with lots and lots of fans arriving to get a glimpse of the stars.

Aishwarya Rai looked resplendent and excruciatingly beautiful in a heavily embroidered Sabyasachi saree. The saree was pretty good, but Oh My God! The blouse was really really terrible. She walked the red carpet with husband Abhishek Bachchan wearing a long sleeve, high blouse with a boat neck that awkwardly revealed a lot of midriff through the sheer pallav of the sari. We didn’t get the point of combining a very modest neckline with a very immodest hemline making the blouse look like something you could wear to the gym for a workout. :lol .

Her blouse sleeves were covered with heavy white floral embroidery. Aishwarya Rai, accessorized with a black studded purse, diamond drop earrings and multiple rings in both her hands. Her hair was retro styled in a face slimming bouffant updo. Her make up was also pretty much retro style: Pink lip color, metallic eye shadow and thick black extended eye liner.

Shah Rukh Khan, wife Gauri and their two children joined the Bachchans on the occasion, adding considerable star power to the event at London’s BFI Southbank cinema.

Aishwarya & Abhishek

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan are off on another trip! After flying to the south of France for the Cannes Film Festival and Paris for the French Open, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan came back to India for a few visits to Delhi and Hyderabad to promote her new movie “Raavan”.

And now the actress is off again! This time she is going to London for the premiere of Raavan with her hubby Abhishek Bachchan. In Paris Ash took in the tennis matches at the French Open and enjoyed spending time with her parents. But after her trip to Europe it was time to get down to business in India and Ash returned to start promoting Raavan in different cities.

Monday night the actress came back to Mumbai from Hyderabad and our photogs were of course there to snap pics of the working beauty! Aishwarya landed at Mumbai airport looking as fresh as ever in a gorgeous green Sabyasachi outfit with golden high heels and a matching purse. But no rest for this busy belle as the team of Raavan is now off to London to promote the flick.

“With team Raavan at the airport about to board a flight to London. Always feels good to be around mani and all. England here we come!” Abhishek tweeted Tuesday morning. “Lack of sleep does funny things to the mind! Thankfully a 9 hour flight should take care of that,” he added. Hopefully Ash gets some sleep as well, they both need it if they are going to take on fans in London who we’re sure are excited to see Raavan!

I think i need some break from my work and got to sleep as well. Coz i sure as hell, am gonna see Raavan, first day but not the first show
