Fashion Movie Review

Director: Madhur BhandarkarCast: Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, Mughda Godse, Arbaaz Khan, Kitu Gidwani, Arjan BajwaFor all that hype around Madhur Bhandarkar exposing the Fashion Industry and its crude realities in this film, sorry to say – Fashion is not as hard-hitting as Chandni Bar or Page 3.The film is built around clichés and stereotypes, which were obviously not expected, not from Madhur at least.

The story revolves around Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra), a middle-class girl from small-town Chandigarh who dreams of becoming a model after winning a local beauty contest. The story is about how she reaches the top and falls from there only bounce back and regain her stardom. Parallel to her is Shonali Gujral (Kangana Ranaut) who has a similar story, the only difference being, she is hit harder by her failure that leads to a complete mental and emotional breakdown.

The film could’ve been more realistic if there were slight changes in the storyline. Our heroine seems to meet too many good Samaritans in the industry who help her to get up there. She is shown to be a very nice girl who makes no compromises on a personal level (except for doing a lingerie advertisement) in her struggling days. She doesn’t manipulate, snatch, and carve her way up, things just happen for her… that feels a little ‘too-good-to-be-true’… especially in the big bad world of fashion where everyone looks towards their own benefit… as Madhur wants to show.

She meets Arjan Bajwa a fellow struggler who she falls in love with but loses him out because their egos clash. She meets Mugdha Godse, a nice hearted fellow struggling model, who doesn’t make it quite big because she is just not the leading lady of the film. She befriends business tycoon Arbaaz Khan who finally ‘makes’ her career only to end up in bed with her. Throughout the film, Madhur gives us reasons to sympathize with Meghna Mathur, he doesn’t leave it to us to decide whether she is worth sympathizing or not.

The movie is fairly predictable. Kangana Ranaut does an extension of her Wo Lamhe act. But she looks extremely professional when she walks the ramp. Looks awesome too. We are expected to sympathize with her too – abusive boyfriend, emotional instability etc etc. Her famous wardrobe malfunction scene is shown as an ‘accident’ that finally leads to her breakdown – positive disposition again – ruins the realism factor.

fas10s.jpg

Gay stereotypes were a bit too many – Harsh Chhaya the best of them. But Sameer Soni deserves a pat for his performance. He breaks the stereotype of the effeminate gay fashion designer and comes across as a very normal, ordinary fashion designer who happens to be a gay. Wish his gay kissing scene was included in the film, would’ve added depth to his portrayal.

So basically Madhur wanted to tell us, through this movie, that Fashion world is all about - bad brutal competition, selfishness, wardrobe malfunction, design theft, drugs, promiscuity, homosexuality, incessant smoking and drinking. Good effort. But this reality could’ve been more real to be as hard-hitting as he’d wanted it to be. Worth a Watch! Rating - 3/5

Aishwarya- A Totally Bankable Star

aishwarya-jodhaa.jpg

Bollywood gurus believe that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most bankable stars in the Indian film industry. Film critic, Taran Adarsh confirms, “Aishwarya’s career graph has been very good though not excellent but she is the only actress who can attract national and international crowds. She is the face of so many international brands and a very good actress also.” Jagmohan Mundhra who directed Ash in provoked said, “She is a superstar. Not only is she a recognised name worldwide; she is a totally bankable star. My personal experience with her from ‘Provoked’ says that the film wouldn’t have worked without her.”

“The best thing about her is that despite her stature, she is completely a director’s actor. She would also give her inputs in the character and would never come back to see a shot once the director approves it. She is thoroughly professional,” Mundhra added. Priyanka Chopra also has some praises to heap on Ash, she says, “She is a gorgeous lady, a very elegant person and a great representative of India abroad and I think she has made some great cinema recently. I’d like to watch a lot more of her in films,”

Kareena Kapoor, as she grows older, is being more and more candid with the media. In a recent interview, she was more willing to talk about things like her diet, Shahid, and Saif. Kareena said she is now a better - calm and stronger person now. She said, “I’m a stronger girl now, far more at ease with myself than I was earlier. I’m doing things, which I want to.” Talking about her break-up with Shahid Kapoor she said, “It was a very difficult perieod. Whatever went wrong between Shahid and me is very personal. I have always maintained that Shahid will always be a part of my life. But, we are better off as friends. There is no animosity… Some times there are no reasones for things that happen in life. Even if there’s one, I dont think its right to talk about it openly.” Moving on to Saif, Kareena says he is her perfect man. “He is fun and extremely loyal. He has all the qualities which I always wanted in a man. He is also very supportive and gives me space.” Marriage she says will happen in about 2-3 years time hopefully with Saif. Till then she just wants to be with him

Meet Kajol and Ajay’s daughter Nysa

Look how much Kajols daughter Nysa has grown  

When Hrithik let his hair down…

Returning home after a long and hectic schedule of his home-production Kites, Hrithik Roshan decided to spend some quality time with his family. And what better occasion than his wife, Sussane's birthday last Sunday to let his hair down? Hrithik invited the crème-de la crème of Bollywood to join him to wish Sussane a very happy birthday.
It so happened that we were passing by Hrithik's house (Palazzo Apartments in Juhu) and noticed some heavy duty lighting and music emanating from the house. The buzz at the Roshan house set us into a fact-finding mission. In fact, the flats of Rajesh Roshan and Rakesh Roshan who occupy the top three floors in the building - floor 8, 9 and 10, (see pic), were also lit up.
So what did the guest list read like? Among a host of Bollywood biggies there were Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Karan Johar, Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, Neelam, Yash Chopra and Uday Chopra.
Our source from Bollywood who attended the party said, “Every year, Hrithik celebrates Sussane's birthday in great style. Unlike the past years, Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukherji were conspicuous by their absence this year.

 

 

Shah Rukh couldn't make it as he was in Dubai. Yashji came in for 10-15 minutes only. Abhishek and Aishwarya stayed late and it was good to see the couple enjoying themselves. Recently, both of them have had a stressful time because of their fathers' illness and it was time that they had a night out.”The party that began at 11 pm wound up only after 2.30 am. Our source close to the Roshans said, “It was great to see the superhero, Hrithik, in a family-man avatar, letting his hair down and shaking a leg to some racy numbers.”

Sameera Reddy joins ‘De Dana Dan’

Priyadarshan’s next comedy “De Dana Dan” has the star-cast of Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Suniel Shetty and Neha Dhupia. Now, an added member to this team is Sameera Reddy.Sameera confirmed the news and said, “I’ve never worked with Priyan before. But I think he liked my comic timing in ‘Race’ where I played Anil Kapoor’s airheaded assistant. That’s how I am in ‘De Dana Dan’ too. I’ve always been a big Priyan fan, by the way.”However, Sameera will have to wait for sometime before she gets to work with Priyadarshan because Priyan has shifted this comedy from November 2008 to January 2009 because he is busy with “Bam Bam Bhole” starring child actor Darsheel Safary of “Taare Zameen Par” fame.And the director sure is excited about it.“‘Bam Bam Bhole’ is not a small arthouse film. It’s a full-on entertainer. And it needs nurturing. Once I release ‘Billo Barber’, I need to promote ‘Bam Bam Bhole’ properly. ‘De Dana Dan’ with Akshay, Katrina, Sameera Reddy, Suniel Shetty and Neha Dhupia has gone forward by a few months.”

Well that’s what has happened to Shilpa Shetty when she was going to Miami from London.Shilpa reveals, “Imagine losing all that you had carried for a long stay abroad. It was such a maddening situation. I lost all my seven bags at a go. It wasn’t just my bags; even my entire staff’s bags were misplaced. It was a nightmare. I lost everything, right from all my basic essentials to creams, shampoos, conditioners, and of course my clothes. I had to buy each and everything within a day as I had absolutely nothing left with me and still had to carry on with my professional commitments. Thankfully, I wasn’t carrying my Dostana costumes designed by Manish (Malhotra).”Shilpa is performing a sizzling beach song in Dostana.
