Quote: "Alert Web surfers will notice how much the DVD cases of two movies under the title -- one with Jennifer Aniston and one with Kirti Reddy -- look alike. In each case, the smiling actress is at right with photos shown at left. The similarities are picture perfect, huh? Pathfinder Home Video is stressing the similarities, because the Bollywood picture is a remake of Aniston's Picture Perfect. Clever, huh?"
