If Paoli���������s comments are anything to go by, both her performance in Vimukthi Jayasundara���������s ���������Chatrak��������� as well as her costumes in Cannes have been appreciated a lot. Says Paoli, ���������At the press conference, people asked me how I got to know Vimukthi. They have liked the film as well as the music. The shlokas that have been used at the film���������s end have been appreciated many.
I was pleasantly surprised when someone uncorked the bubbly to welcome me. I also met Italo Spinelli (with whom Paoli was supposed to do ���������Gangaur���������) at the Festival. He liked my work in ���������Chatrak���������.���������
Producer Vinod Lahoti, who has accompanied Paoli to the Festival, says, ���������Just before our official screening, a crew at the Director���������s Fortnight section called Paoli a ���������princess���������. People are admiring her work. Her Indian attire is making her stand out in the crowd.���������
Make-up artist Aniruddha Chakladar, who is in Cannes with Paoli, says, ���������It���������s been an amazing experience. Hollywood celebs have all gone for international brands. It was a conscious decision for us to not go for that and wear Sayantan Sarkar���������s creations. No Versaces for Paoli. The simplicity of an Indian beauty is the talk of the town here. Sandy has done the stylling. Even people on the streets of Cannes are walking up to her to appreciate her outfits. That���������s a huge high for all of us.���������
