Reports are that Aishwarya Rai 's classic film Chokher Bali has been dubbed in Tamil and being marketed as a sleazy film.
Titled ‘Aishwarya Rai ..Ulaga Azhagi’ the publicity for the film has stills of Ash’s bare back and a teasing caption under it.
Directed by Rituparno Ghosh , ‘Chokher Bali’ is based upon Rabindranath Tagore's famous novel of the same title.
The movie has Ash playing a young widow named Binodini. While the character of a widow – a subtle temptress who uses her beauty and charms to entice men. Ash plays a character caught between her widowhood and her desires most of which have sexual connotations.
So the distributors of the dubbed Tamil version, to rake in some extra bucks, have made the Bengali version look like a sleazy film, but sadly even that hasn’t helped their purpose, because the posters haven’t helped in drawing the audience to the theaters.
