I noticed on IMDB that Mahima Chaudhry and Shilpa Shetty appear in Mexican director Alejandro Innaritu's new film 'Babel', that is being premiered in Cannes this year. This was the same director who did Amores Perros and 21 Grams, so I'm surprised Mahima and Shilpa got to work with him - I myself would've chosen better actresses than these two.

Does anyone know if this is true or a mistake IMDB made?

5.7/10 I've been reading this movie is getting very much liked by the critics.

As of Shilpa and Mahima...

Thanks for the info. I wonder how IMDB can get things like this wrong. But I remember they made mistakes about the cast of a film before (e.g. the Matrix sequels).

Babel did do well in Cannes and is one of the top two festival favourites to win, the other being Volver.

As for Provoked, from what we hear Ash's acting was better than usual, but the script and direction was poor. But they shouldn't expect much from this since the film's director (Jag Mundhra) mainly made soft-porn films prior to working on this. A big let down for the UK films.
