Americans Empty Bedpans Over Shriya Saran

American moviegoers emptied their overflowing bedpans over the head of ugly Bollywood and Kollywood actress Shriya Saran.

A mediocre and unpretty actress, Shriya Saran will find it very hard to live down the humiliating rebuff from U.S. moviegoers to her Hollywood misadventure The Other End of the Line.

Shriya’s ghastly English movie not only opened to scathing reviews but was also a total disaster at the U.S. box office in its opening weekend (October 31-November 2, 2008).

For the opening weekend, The Other End of the Line had a gross of just $59,078 in the U.S., a beyond pathetic box office response for a new movie.

The crappy movie had an average of $649, perhaps the lowest we have seen for an Indian movie in the U.S.

Shriya Saran’s embarrassment of a movie opened at No-44 at the U.S. box office.

Take a look (below table) at how The Other End of the Line fared vis-a-vis a few other Indian movies:

In its review of The Other End of the Line, SearchIndia.com dismissed the movie as a crappy Mills & Boon tale and ended with the line:

Life is too short to be wasted on trash like The Other End of the Line.

Forget Hollywood, Bollywood or Kollywood, Shriya Saran’s acting has degraded so much in The Other End of the Line that she now seems unfit to star even in her apartment complex’ annual day play.

    Hahaha! This is shocking. I’m curious if you have any figures from a few years back from a “Hollywood” movie like The Guru, the Heather Graham/Jimi Mistry flick, to compare this too.

    Sure.

    For the opening weekend of January 31-Feb 2, 2003, The Guru had a total gross of $613,485 with an average of $9,894. The Guru came in at No-26 for the opening weekend.

    As you can see, there’s just no comparison between The Guru and The Other end of the Line.

    My God, they would have done better to just release the movie straight to DVD and thrown it in those 3 for $10 DVD bins found at Wal-Mart or Target.

    No, No, No. We disagree.

    They should have taken the master print of The Other End of the Line and done what they occasionally do in China with pirated DVDs…crush it under one of those monstrous road-rollers.
