Madhuri Dixit comes straight to the thinking minds whenever we trouble ourselves over the face behind that smiling assassin. Even the late Madhubala whispers into our ears with her million dollar smile that had the entire nation drooling over her hypnotic charm. But, amongst the current rooster of actors, I have picked up the two ruling ladies: Katrina Kaif, the Princess of Popcorn and Aishwarya Rai, the beauty personified.
1. Katrina Kaif: With a complexion as milky as the resplendent moon, her toothy smile gives her an electric look. When she smiles, her eyes narrow to mere slits as men find themselves getting forlorn behind that oozing sex appeal. No wonder, hunks like Salman and Ranbir have been mesmerized by that brilliant spark behind her lips.
2. Aishwarya Rai: She has carried the mettle of the world’s most beautiful woman for close to two decades. From Salman to Abhishek (with a Vivek in between) have fallen preys to those predatory eyes that lighten up when her lips split into a curve. Her killer smile, undoubtedly, adds to her lightning bolt beauty often transporting the male voyeurs into a world of fantasy and dreamy imagination.
So, dear readers, think and vote and be impartial. It’s a battle between Ash and Kat.

Katrina Kaif may be ruling the roost but Aishwarya Rai is the one who is Bollywood’s established veteran with a cemented footing in the industry. Hence, the hype and hoopla surrounding her last Raavan was natural.
However, since it was heavily bombarded by the general public and completely ripped off by the critics; the cast and crew of the film are not exactly in a mood to celebrate. And one of them includes the former Miss World Aishwarya Rai who is all grim and dismal.
So much so that the most beautiful lady in the planet is not confronting the tabloid fearing wraths and disturbing grilling by the blood hound paparazzi. In fact, though, she was gleefully hopping from here to there promoting her film before the fateful D-Day arrived, now that the flick has released and sank, she is keeping low profile and hasn’t yet shown up before the media.
Even her PR machinery has been asked to stay silent till the gloomy phase gets over and things freshen up with newer prospects ahead. Personally speaking, hits and misses are part and parcel of this rat race world. One flop Friday doesn’t erode the accolades and fame Aish has generated over the past one and a half decade.
Nevertheless, for now, the emerald-eyed beauty is awaiting a bright sunshine after clouds of darkness and despair part away…….

Suddenly, all the hype about Aishwarya Rai has come to a halt in the media after the disastrous performance of Raavan film in the box office. Sadly for her, Katrina Kaif’s Raajneeti did very well in the box office in the same month.
The success of Katrina Kaif came at the worst possible time for Rai. Too much was written about Raavan in the media in the last few weeks. Of course, when a movie fails in the box office, it is not the fault of the actress or heroine alone.
Mani Ratnam was the director. The main fault should go with him. Abhishek Bachchan was the hero and he should have his own share of success and failure too. A. R. Rahman was behind the composition of music.
So, it is not clear why Aishwarya Rai felt so disappointed about the failure of the movie Raavan in the box office. She does not need to become silent.
Raavan not only failed in the box office but also failed to get any kind of notable praise from critics both in India and in USA and UK. However, it seems that Aishwarya Rai has taken the failure too personally.

At 36, the still spotless, alabaster beauty of Aishwarya Rai beggars description. The former Miss World has hogged the top spot in Bollywood for many years and has now comfortably stepped into her own niche while the likes of younger beauties like Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoo and Priyanka Chopra vie for the roost.

Once named the ninth most beautiful woman in the world, Ash is still a stunner as is evident from the stills of her upcoming Tamil movie Endhiran.

Directed by Shankar, the film is a sci-fi thriller starring Ash with Rajnikant. It is touted as the most expensive movie to be made in India so far, with its budget touching the whopping figure of Rs 165 crores. While there are still months for the movie to hit the marquee, we bring you some breathtaking stills of Aishwarya Rai in Endhiran.

Is Katrina Kaif the numero uno of Bollywood town after her stupendous success in Raajneeti? And is Aishwarya Rai an ageing passé after her flop show with Raavan? If you have begun thinking on those lines, then tighten your seat belts and gear up to be thrown into a world you have never seen before (unless you are more than 60-plus).

With the release of 2010’s two most talked about films-Rajneeti and Raavan, the cat is out of the bag as to who is the reigning queen of Bollywood- Aishwarya Rai or Katrina Kaif? Katrina Kaif’s Rajneeti has been one of the most acclaimed films of the year 2010 till now while Aishwarya Rai’s one day old Raavan is already facing the thrashings of the critics and the stabbings by the viewers.
Aishwarya’s ride on the ten headed monster was short lived as it was beheaded as soon as it came out of its dungeon since it failed to provide the other riders the topsy-turvy they were expecting. While Katrina’s political ride managed to swing over Abhishek’s sweetheart.
While Rajneeti portrayed the glamorous doll of Bollywood as a woman clad in sari and giving speech to win votes as her people, Raavan saw the stunning beauty queen as Ragini who is tortured by the goon Beera, beautifully displaying the battle which goes on between a woman’s heart and a wife’s mind.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s arch rival and may-be-successor Katrina Kaif may have broken up with her Godfather & mentor cum boyfriend Salman Khan (most certainly, due to a visible age difference with Salman’s skin fattening up and head balding up). But, the Raajneeti actress has found a new love in her life.
Ranbir Kapoor, this may interest you. Kat has confessed her newly found love and unfortunately it has got nothing to do with you. Uncanny & bizarre it may sound but Katrina has fallen for a mouse (and no! We are not referring to the cute, lovable Jerry who has a love-hate relationship with Tom just like a Salman-Shahrukh). The mouse we are referring to sits stationery at Katrina’s house responding only to her touch. (Zara Zara Touch me touch me baby……..)
Actually, ssshh…..but the closely guarded secret is that Katty has been smitten by her computer mouse who takes her along for shopping and ensures that the beautiful maiden doesn’t has to face the hassles of public gaze and fan frenzy.

It seems Katrina Kaif’s cozy days are over as sensuous Aishwariya Rai is coming up with good films that is to go on release very soon.

With few slop down in graph after marriage the tough Aishwariya is ready to get over her former regime in Bollywood with good lot of films in her arms to get set for release on screen this year very soon. As much hype is winding around her Mani Ratnam’s flick ‘Ravaan’ in which she is staring opposite her hubby Abhishek Bachchan while her another upcoming flick ‘Action Replayy’ opposite Akshay Kumar by Vipul Shah are expected to soon set the screen on fire.

Though even Katrina is also decked up against her with her much talk about ‘Raajneeti’ by Prakash Jha, opposite Bollywood flame Ranbir Kapoor in a new challenging role of a political figure and as well as with her lucky mascot Akshay in ‘Tees Mar Khan’ directed by Farah Khan may prove to stand against her.

2010, hitherto, hasn’t been very successful for the Bollywood planet with most of the films biting the dust. Except for Shahrukh Khan’s ‘My Name is Khan’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’, the response has been lukewarm and discouraging.
But, the summer promises to be hotter as two of the sexiest women gear up for a battle ahead.
1. Katrina Kaif- With the IPL fever set to die down, Bollywood’s next awaited release will feature glam doll Katrina Kaif in the most challenging and meatiest role of her career thus far. In ‘Rajneeti’ where she plays a woman politician (loosely based on Sonia Gandhi’s life), Katrina has an opportunity to showcase her acting mettle. For a change, she would be wearing a simple sari and not those itsy-bitsy clothes which have made her a perfect eye candy in a slew of hot films.
2. Aishwarya Rai- Don’t blame it on the climate, if the temperature becomes unbearably hot this summer. As after a long gap, Ash is set to invade the theatres with ‘Raavan’ where she plays Sita (a modern day take of the epic Ramayana). Besides, she will take us back down those beautiful memory lanes of the 70s in ‘Action Replayy’ opposite the sexy Akshay Kumar.
So, it was worth a wait. But, now the time has come for a screen war between the two glittering stars to fight for the crown. It’s experience v/s. experiment. It’s Aishwarya v/s. Katrina. Let the war begin……..
