Aishwaria Vs. Samara

Comparing the two throws interesting results. While one of them is a teenager who died some 30 years ago, other is a 30 year old for whom many teenagers will die! Samara Morgan has ensured a box office collection of $360 million worldwide (from 2 movies) for its producers while Aishwaria Rai has mustered less than $150 million.

This comparison tells us something interesting-: The importance of going Global. Original Japanese movie ringo in which Samara featured had far less collections than Aishwaria movies, till someone in L.A thought of importing her to U.S and then exporting her to Britain.

Hence while most of us prefer the face of 30 year old damsel in question, it is the ugly teenage ghost who is minting more money. Aishwaria will probably leave Samara behind soon( not true for many other Miss Worlds in Bolywood) but only because she has gone global.

Indian IT industry has achieved the scale it has because since inception it was always focused on foreign markets . A lesson for many beautiful ladies of Indian corporate world sitting happy on peanuts.
