Umrao YAWN!
I saw Umrao Jaan last night & it really stunk. The first have before the intermussion was basically naptime. It consisted of close ups of Aish's face & frames of Abhishek brooding & looking moody. There was no chemistry at all even though they really tried by overacting.
It picked up afterwards & became slightly more engaging... but still pretty crappy. J.P Dutta wanted to elaborate on Ameeran/Umrao's inner story, but really it ended being more about Khanum Sahib's inner "struggle". What is the point of remaking a movie that was actually pretty good to begin with?
America loves Aishwarya
Umrao Jaan maybe didn't go over so well in India, but the NY Times gave it a good review. It grossed $480,000 in its first weekend in North America.
Umrao Jaan in NYC?
Looks like the Sixth Annual IAAC festival is showing the new Umrao Jaan on Nov 2. So who wants to go? ^o^
