Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her family failed to make it to the premiere of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s broken masterpiece Saawariya due to the failing health of the Bachchan grandmother.

Now, if you were an average person (i.e A person that does not think the sun shines out of your tushy) than if you want to watch the movie, you could just saunter of to the cinema. Or if you’re as rich as the Bachchans you could just buy yourself a cinema. Or pay a visit to your local (fake) DVD shop (Don’t tell me the Bachchans don’t buy fake DVD’s. I hear Eros pays them in fake DVD’s for all their anti piracy ads. And by fake DVD’s I mean money… Which they use to buy fake DVD’s).

However if you’re Aishwarya Rai, you need to phone the director that gave you your first hit, so that he can arrange a special screening for you and your family.

Sanjay Bhansali says,

“The Bachchans couldn’t attend the premiere because of Amitji’s mother’s condition. When Aishwarya called saying the family wanted to see the film I was more than happy to comply. To me the opinion of people who matter to me is very important.”

Wow. I guess Saawariya must be doing badly at the box office, since the only way Ash and Abhi can see it is at a private screening with the director.

I don’t get why they’d want to see it anyway. It sucked to high heaven. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve never been a big fan of artsy movies… But even I can say that Saawariya is less artsy and more crazy.
