Though it did not do well in India, Aishwarya Rai starrer Bride and Prejudice is ruling the box-office in South Africa.

According to reports, ‘Bride and Prejudice’ grossed an impressive collection of $250,596 from 67 screens across South Africa.




‘Bride and Prejudice’ is pitted against two Hollywood biggies - Denzel Washington's 'The Manchurian Candidate' directed by Brett Ratner and the action adventure 'After The Sunset', starring Pierce Brosnan and Salma Hayek.

‘Bride and Prejudice’ is currently being screened in countries like the UK, the Middle East, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Africa and Switzerland. It will open in the United States on February 11, 2005.

Based on Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice," the film by Gurinder Chadha transports the story on another plane by adding an essentially Indian touch that depicts assumptions, gossip and comedy of errors.

The tale of a witty young woman trying to find a suitable husband in a cross-cultural setting that spans 21st century India, London and America, has Ash playing the Indian version of Austen's female protagonist Elizabeth.

The film also stars Martin Henderson, Anupam Kher , Namrata Shirodkar among others and has ample Bollywood elements of dance and music amidst the arresting story of love, vanity, social pressures and the courtship of the two lovers.
