Provoked: A True Story (2006)
nothing original!
Absoluetly poor interpretation of a possible great story. Once again Aishwarya Rai fails to give a performance or director fails to get out the performance from her -whichever.
Screenplay is flawed and forced. The film attempts to exploit the naiveness of Occidental audience about the subject to shake down some emotion. We are emotionally blackmailed by words like "true story" more and more in recent times. However PROVOKED fails to bring up standards of Indian Diaspora Cinema neither it is bollywood nor Hollywood.
Slickness of production can not replace the story or soul of a film.
It is real pity -the film needed a great scriptwriter & great director. It is high time Aishwarya Rai finds a soul-mate in some great filmmaker because she is talented and beautiful.
I would avoid spending any bucks on this movie... sorry.
