Aisha finally hits the big screen

AustenBlog has posted a review of Aisha, the Bollywood update of Jane Austen's Emma. The critique is positive but far from gushing, and the author notes that the movie appears to be a close remake of Clueless, rather than the original book—without, sadly, Clueless's unexpected depths. Not that one lukewarm review with stop me from seeing this, but if you don't happen to live near a theater that shows foreign films, take comfort in the notion that you probably aren't missing much by waiting for this sucker to hit the DVD shelves.
