7 International Talent Who Failed To Spread Their Magic in Bollywood Collaboration

We all remember Kylie Minogue in the scintillatingly short silver dress chiggy wiggying with our very own Bollywood Akshay Kumar setting our hearts aflutter. Bollywood’s collaboration with foreign talent has been a tried and tested formula for success. However, the memory of Conan Stevens in Goldie Behl's 'Drona' is also seared into our memory no matter how hard we try to erase it. Here is a list of the most regrettable collaborations of Bollywood with foreign talent which has left us all wondering  what exactly was going through our celebs' mind when they agreed to it :

Anyone who has watched a Beyonce performance knows it’s a powerhouse. Aishwarya rai’s attempted to dance in her shoes in fanne khan’s ‘Mohabbat’ and she stumbled. The choreography in the song looks like a weird combination of aerobics and the choreographer, Frank Gatson Jr.’s failed attempt to infuse what she thinks is ‘Bollywood essence’ into it. The question on our minds is where is the aish who set the screen on fire in ‘crazy kiya re’? why would you do this to us aish, why?

Teen Patti  was a movie that went without making any kind of sound despite having the impressive ensemble of actors . Hollywood actor Ben Kingsley role in the movie can be summarized to him spouting drab philosophy in dubbed Hindi which led to loss of all sense and emotion that the actor could have put into them.  Despite all the mathematical probability theories in the movie they couldn’t figure out this movie was a bad gamble. Oh, the irony of it!

You’d think that a movie with the likes of Hollywood biggies like Denise Richards, Brandon Routh, and Sylvester Stallone would be amazing. It has attracted the stars enough to sign it, so it must surely be  one exquisite piece of artistic creation. Sadly, however the movie was a disaster with crude dialogues, utterly inane vulgar comedy and with a ghitta pitta plot sprinkled with drab,unneeded action sequences.

4. Barbara Mori in Kites

This gorgeous Uruguayan actress was seen with the Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan in the much anticipated Rakesh Roshan movie ‘Kites’. However, the movie failed to work its magic on the audience and the sizzling beauty of Mori fizzles away due to a film that is just too melodramatic, and too 1920’s southern America to be believable.

The '36th  Chamber of Shaolin' star,  Chia-Hui Liu starred as the antagonist in the much anticipated movie , 'Chandni Chowk to China'. The action star from Hongkong's major action chops went down the drain as the movie tanked at the box office .

As much as it pains us to say, playing air tablas is the most impressive deed by the famous American rapper Snoop Dogg in the title track of the Anees Bazmee movie, ‘Singh Is Kinng’. The rapper all but vanishes after the first minute of the song, apart from dropping a ‘Singh Is Kinng’ here and there. 

7. Akon in ‘Chammak Challo’

This is the man who sung, ‘Lonely’. This is the man who sung ‘Right Now’. This is also the man who sung ‘Chammak Challo’. Whatever happened to the guy who sung ‘I wanna Love You’ and made us all go weak in the knees.

East meets West. The idea sounds good in theory , however what these collaborations have taught us is that bringing talent from abroad is no good if all they are going to to act as is like a bow on a crappy present . Contributing absolutely nothing except multiplying our frustration at the illusion of a good gift.
