What did he say...?

Warning: Spoilers
Was this a Bollywood story in English? Where does it go with the Bollywood movies? It's not Indian anymore. This story is about a woman who gets beat up by her husband, and kills him for that. She goes into prison.

This should be a true story, but is not believable because of the worse acting and appearance of Aishwaria. Aish's acting is horrible! Besides that, the language spoken is English. But I could not understand some people because they were talking not clearly. Like the boss of the police. When he talks, even the subtitles don't understand what the guy is saying. And the dutch subtitles in Bollywood movies are very bad. I think they are translated by a computer or something.

Every time when Aishwaria Rai is saying; "I'm sorry", the subtitles say; "I'm sad". It does not make any sense. Even the English subtitles are not correct.

Okay, I cannot judge a movie by the subtitles, because in most bollywood movie the subtitles don't work proper. The way the movie is made makes women who watch the movie wonder to kill her husbands when they hit them even once.

Or when a husband shouts at his wife once, he should hide all candles and matches, otherwise he gets burnt. Like all women are victims. And so what if you kill your husband? Prison life is great! You meet a lot of female friends who will help you climb up your way to get free. Because when your husband hits you, you must not run away, no, you must kill him! Come on! Who made up this crap? And why do independent women have short hair like men? The woman who wants to fight for Aish's rights, has short hair. She is not female because she does a man's job? The should have given her role to Aishwaria and vice versa. But the other woman is not a celebrity and not pretty with short hair. That fact is in her way for fame. Yes, she cannot act, but Aishwaria cannot act either. She is only pretty like the horrible actress Priyanka Chopra.

In Bollywood there is one major thing; if you know the right people in your family, then you will become famous in movies. It doesn't matter if you can act or not.
