Shriya Saran's Hollywood debut trashed
November 01, 2008
Shriya Saran's Hollywood debut, The Other End of the Line, opened in theatres in America to poor reviews. However, critics agreed that Shriya was stunning. The film, written by Tracey Jackson (The Guru) and directed by James Dodson, is a lame cross-cultural romance. It had such a winning premise – a Citibank call centre girl in Bangalore and a
The Other End of the Line

yuppie in New York fall in love on the phone. But the movie apparently fails to treat it smartly. What critics complained of mostly is:

a) That you are unable to see why a vivacious girl like Priya (Shriya) would be attracted to a dull yuppie like Granger (Jesse Metcalfe)

b) Jesse Metcalfe, the hero, is an uninspiring actor

c) It settles for easy, buffoonish comedy

d) Priya gives a speech about finding your roots to her call centre colleagues, only to abandon hers!

Let's hope Shriya has a winner in Mira Nair's upcoming movie.
