Sylvester Stallone and former
BOND girl Denise Richards'
Bollywood debuts have been
panned by critics - they have
both received nominations for
worst movie performance at
India's annual Golden Kela
Awards.
The American stars appear
together in Kambakkht Ishq
(Unfortunate Love), alongside
Superman Returns actor
Brandon Routh and Bollywood
regulars Akshay Kumar and
Kareena Kapoor.
But their performances have
failed to wow Hindu movie
critics and the 2009 romantic
comedy has landed them
dishonours for the Bollywood
equivalent of the Razzies.
Stallone and Richards will
compete for the Baawra ho
gaya hai ke (Have you gone
crazy?) category, while the
movie itself, directed by Sabir
Khan, is up for a total of eight
awards, including Worst Film.
Meanwhile, Aussie singer/
actress Kylie Minogue has been
mauled for her performance of
Chiggy Wiggy, which she sang
in the movie Blue. The track,
written by Abbas Tyrewala, has
been named in the Most
Atrocious Lyrics category.
The stars' nominations have
prompted religious scholar
Rajan Zed to call for movie
executives to concentrate on
producing quality films, instead
of just attaching big names to
the projects to pull in big bucks
at the box office.
Zed, who is the president of
Universal Society of Hinduism,
says, Both Hollywood and
Bollywood should focus on
quality rather than quantity.
Quantity, mixed with mercantile
greed, resulted in them ending
up in Razzies and Golden Kelas.
The Golden Kelas (bananas) will
be handed out in Delhi on 12
March . (Mt/wn/ig)
