The first time Time carried Hindi cinema on its front pages, they put a 
picture of Parveen Babi on the cover and called her Zeenat Aman. This time 
they’ve put a tanned-on-the-Photoshop, Aishwarya Rai on the same page, and 
called her the “New Face of Film.” Not could be/should be/may be the new 
face of film, but ‘is’. For anyone who’s watched “new” films, leave alone 
Ms Rai’s (Dil Ka Rishta and Kuch Naa Kaho), it’s so flawed and rushed an 
observation, it doesn’t even merit a debate.
