Ash arrives in Cannes

This year, the Cannes competition is interesting and eclectic. But no Indian films are in the fray.

The Jagmohan Mundhra film Provoked, starring Aishwarya and Nandita Das, will be screened out of competition.

Other Indian stars at Cannes -- strictly on promotional trips for their movies -- include Karan Johar, Preity Zinta and Ajay Devgan.
