Aishwarya Rai gets a miss in most Pink Panther reviews

Pink Panther 2 which releases on February 6 has received very bad reviews from people who have seen the film at the premiere and Aishwarya hardly has a mention in the reviews.



The film has an 11% freshness rating and 3.5 on 10 score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Empire Magazine's William Thomas' verdict is 2 stars out of 5 and "A mirthless shot in the dark that misses the target by some distance." Aishwarya Rai isn't mentioned in the review at all. Owen Gleiberman of The Entertainment Weekly has given it a B- and 2 stars. There is no mention of Aishwarya Rai here too.

The Boston Phoenix calls it an "all too familiar stink," giving it 2 stars out 4
According to Boston Phoenix, the plot is razor thin and it is full of ninny nonsense. Aishwarya Rai is only mentioned as a "Bollywood Beauty."

Roger Moore of The Orlando Sentinel has given it 2 out of 5 stars, saying the movie "is somewhat less of a desecration of the memory of Peter Sellers than Martin's first outing as the bumbling French detective. Martin still hasn't bothered to learn a faux French accent. The editing doesn't hide that even the simplest stunts are now done by fellows in snow-white wigs." Aishwarya Rai is just mentioned as an "Indian."

David Germain of Bennington Banner isn't impressed with the film. Aishwarya Rai is just mentioned with other cast members. According to him, "there's a huge error behind "The Pink Panther 2" — other than the mistake of producing the sequel in the first place — it's pairing Steve Martin with John Cleese, and then failing to capitalize on their potentially explosive verbal exchanges." Harald Zwart's direction amounts to "90 minute slapstick stretches, each trying to heighten the level of Clousseau's idiocy."

It must be noted that the first film also got bad reviews but was a commercial success. The fate of this film and Ash's Hollywood innings is yet to be seen.
