Star Appeal

Aishwarya Rai has worked with some of the finest talents [film-makers], but her success ratio has been on a declining spree, of late. Besides, her last few films, including the latest flick BRIDE AND PREJUDICE, didn't fetch an opening commensurate with the weighty names attached to the films. What she needs most is a blockbuster to consolidate her status. (Figures reflect 1st Week Collections In Mumbai):
