Aishwarya Rai, the former Miss World and one of the leading Bollywood actresses, delivered as many as 4 film releases in 2010. And if critical acclaim is anything to go by, then it has been a mixed year with its share of good and bad.
4 Aishwarya-starrer films that got released last year are ‘Raavan’, ‘Action Replayy’, ‘Guzaarish’ and ‘Endhiran’. Out of these 4, only 1 (Endhiran) could rock the box office primarily as it starred the Demi-God of South Rajinikanth. Aishwarya, despite putting up a brilliant portrayal, got largely overshadowed by the peerless prowess of Rajinikanth.
However, despite the fact that ‘Guzaarish’ did a miserable business in the cash windows, it brought laurels and trophies to Aishwarya for her winsome rendition of a doting nurse. For playing that role of Sophie, she raked up trophies for Best Actress (Critics) in Zee Cine Awards and Best Actress- Drama category at the recently concluded Stardust Awards.
But coming to two of the biggest duds of the year, her films ‘Action Replayy’ and ‘Raavan’ licked dust at box office and were torn apart by critics. Even her performance was not up to the mark in these two films for which she has been conferred the Ghanta Awards for Worst Actress of the year.

The proverb “All’s well That Ends Well” is aptly fitting actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. 2010 was a four release year for the actress, with films like Raavan, Robot, Action Replayy and Guzaarish.
Buzz up!
When looked upon critically at all the four film, Robot was a commercially successful film, while Aishwarya was critically liked by people in Guzaarish. Raavan and Action Replayy, got un-noticed getting a lot disappointment both to the actress and her fans as well.

The actress even managed to bag an award for the performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish. Hmm!! looks like

She even managed to pick up awards for her performance in this Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. It was a ‘all is well’ year for Ash.

2010 ended for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with 4 releases – RAAVAN (Hindi) & RAAVANAN (Tamil & Telugu), ROBOT/ENDHIRAN, ACTION REPLAYY and GUZAARISH. The reviews for her performances from critics and the movie going audiences have been over whelming, clearly stating that Aishwarya has been able to create and give a new life to each character she has portrayed. The icing on the cake has been the numerous awards conferred on her for these films.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan started the season of awards with a bang; she was awarded Actress Of The Decade at the Big Star Entertainment Awards. At the Apsara Awards Producers Guild Awards 2011, she was conferred with the PRESIDENTS HONOUR for the cinematic excellence of her work as the leading female actor in the film GUZAARISH. This winning streak continued when she got the Best Actress-Critic’s Category at the Zee Cine Awards held at Singapore and then most recently she got an award for the Best Actress-Drama Category for her role in GUZAARISH at the recently concluded Stardust Awards.

Aishwarya Rai is awarded with the worst actress Ghanta award at the award show which is a rip-off of Hollywood’s Razzies.

Last year Aishwarya Rai had four films. If she won the hearts of her Tamil fans with her Endhiran opposite Rajinikanth, she also bowled over the audience with her beauty and acting in Guzaarish, but her Action Replayy was a big let-down and her detractors didn’t spare her for Raavan too.

So, the actress has been named the worst of the lot at the Ghanta Awards.

Ghanta Awards as the name suggests acknowledges the best of worst in Bollywood from Diwali 2009 – Diwali 2010. Who are the other winners:

Worst Actor – Himesh Reshammiya

Worst Breakthrough – Aditya Narayan (Shaapit)

Worst Couple – Uday Chopra and Priyanka Chopra (Pyaar Impossible)

Worst Director – Sajid Khan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was not feeling well, but she still managed to put on a performance at this year’s Zee Cine Awards.
The dancing queen showed off moves from movies like Endhiran, the Robot and Action Replayy, and the crowd went wild more than once!

It’s easy to see that Ash is not in top shape, but her fellow B-town colleagues, including Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone encourage her from the sidelines.
We’re sure they’ve been in the same situation several times and knows how she feels. Check out Ash’s moves and let us know what you think; hot or not?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has gone slow in signing any new films. This can be confirmed from the fact that the pretty woman doesn’t have a single (yes you read it right) film in hand right now. No, it isn’t because of ‘Guzaarish’, ‘Action Replayy’ and ‘Raavan’ biting the dust. The actress still has filmmakers queuing up to lap her on. However the lady hasn’t given a nod to any of them hence kick starting many a speculation.

“It isn’t surprising at all that Aishwarya has suddenly put brakes on her acting career,” says an industry insider, “Last year was quite tough for her when she had as many as four releases, including ‘Endhiran’/'Robot’. In fact for the Rajnikanth starrer, her only successful film of the year, she had invested more than two years. She couldn’t afford dedicate much time on her personal life.”

Actress Aishwarya Rai walked away with the special jury award for her performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish at the Ponds Gold Radiance Zee Cine Awards 2011 held in Singapore.

Aishwarya was honoured on Friday as the best actress (female) jury choice for her outstanding performance in the sensitive and challenging role of Sofia in Guzaarish that also starred Hrithik Roshan as a paraplegic patient.

The actress also performed at the event on hit numbers from Raavan, Action Replayy and Robot.

The award comes right after winning a gong for cinematic excellence for her work for the same film at the recently held Apsara Awards.

Salman Khan, Shahrukh, Katrina Kaif are the ones who, hitherto, had a good 2010 with their respective films doing well at the box office. But the leading actress Aishwarya Rai hasn’t seen the kind of success she would have liked to see.
2010 was one of the busiest years of Aishwarya’s career with 4 of her films hitting the big screen. But unfortunately, for some reason or the other, the audience chose to stay away from the theatres with the exception of ‘Endhiran’.
All 3 of her Bollywood ventures namely ‘Raavan’, ‘Action Replayy’ and ‘Guzaarish’ sank at the cash box. The success of ‘Endhiran’ was credited to the larger-than-life presence of actor Rajinikanth.

Unfazed by the fate of her films at the box office, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan counts her blessings as she reaps the fruits of years of hard work.

This year, except “Endhiran”, “Guzaarish”, “Raavan” and “Action Replayy” haven’t done too well at the BO. How much does that bother you?
Not at all. I got a great review for each of the films that I worked in, whether it was “Endhiran”, “Raavan”, “Action Replayy” or “Guzaarish”, so for me, it’s been a terrific year. Everything that I set out to accomplish when I took on these movies, as an actor, and in terms of the response I was looking for, I have been able to. Because, as an actor with so many years of experience now, you know when you take on a subject what potential the character per se holds. No one can ever preordain the destiny of a film and I say destiny because it’s literally that. After so many years, you cannot necessarily say that a great film is a superhit or it’s the other way around. I’m happy that the response from critics and audience has been so overwhelming for each of the characters essayed, no matter how different they were from each other.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has indeed been one of the busiest stars in tinsel town this year. She’s amongst those stars who have really managed to grab the top most slots in tinsel town despite having more flops amongst her releases than hits or even super hits.

Right from the movie Raavan, Ash has been given the thumbs down by the critics and the audiences. The block buster Robot did create an amazing frenzy all over but it was soon over. Then came Action Replayy which did not fare quite well.

Her latest release Guzaarish was also not well received by the audiences though she did receive some appreciation for the matured role of Sophia that she portrayed in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali flick.
