DVD Reviews of 60 Minutes - The Most Beautiful Woman In The World (January 2, 2005)
DVD Review: Such a gorgeous face; such a short video
Summary: 4 Stars
Aishwarya Rai is without a doubt a most enchanting beauty. Virtually every moment of this DVD is captivating. Now, for the review . . .
As "60 Minutes" segments go, this was typical, but quite a bit short. Only 13 minutes; too bad. Hosted by Bob Simon, this show aired on January 2, 2005, and had the "gee whiz" feel of introducing to a supposedly unknowing American audience a gorgeous celebrity and her dilemma of crossing over to a film industry with a different culture and mindset. Good timing, I suppose, because "Bride and Prejudice," Aishwarya's first English language film, was due to open stateside a month later.
The filming/interviews took place in India, so we see throngs of adorers at a temple (the pretty actress got more attention than Ganesh, it seems) plus a couple of delightful scenes: one in a restaurant where Aishwarya orders food with abandon, and another in a clothing boutique where she dons some stunning outfits and gets Mr. Simon to wear a Nehru jacket. Through the narration, we learn that Aishwarya was studying to be an architect, won the Miss World pageant (1994), was a classically trained dancer, and was still living with her family. There's also discussion of why there's no kissing in Indian film, and what Aishwarya might do were she told by an American film director to kiss someone. Aside from one goof, that of proclaiming Bollywood as "India's film capital," the reporting was mildly informative, fairly diverse, and consistent in reminding the viewer of the subject's beauty. Interspersed between interview segments were some snippets of Bollywood film dance scenes, but not enough for the viewer to really get a grasp of the flavor of Mumbai-based filmmaking.
Aishwarya held her composure the whole time, and was very gracious is answering (carefully) what was asked of her (carefully) about personal matters.
I'm a lover of documentaries, so I'll admit to being bummed over the 13-minute run time, and ZERO extras. So much more could have been done with this . . . maybe someday a feature length bio will be available.
