Kylie Minogue’s Bollywood debut, Blue, has been panned by critics, describing her “as sexy as a housewife in a kaftan”.
The film, which cost $30 million to make, opened in India on Friday and received less than stellar reviews.
The pop princess was reportedly paid $1 million to star in the film, the most expensive Bollywood film ever made.
Her inclusion in the project was intended to increase the film’s appeal to Western audiences, but according to critic Anil Verma, “She doesn’t look good or even sound good.”
The dance song ‘Chiggy Wiggy’ was supposed to be Kylie’s showstopper, but it seems the critics don’t agree.
“The music by A.R Rahman is strictly average; even the item song by Kylie Minogue can’t save the film from reaching its watery grave,” said critic Rajeev Masand.
Kylie’s CV is already overflowing with accomplishments —, singer, songwriter, actress, lingerie designer, perfumer, cancer survivor and entertainer; surely this one setback won’t stop the ‘singing budgie’ in her formidable tracks.
Your say: Do you think Kylie was a good choice to star in a Bollywood film? Who would you like to see in a Bollywood film? Will you go and see Blue? What do you like about Kylie?
