Directed by Milan Luthria and made by Ekta and Shobha Kapoor, The Dirty Picture is an excellent film with explosive dialog and a bang on performance by Vidya Balan, also starring Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor, The film is just a story about a make-up girl who becomes a supplementary and then the most wanted heroine of the early 80s. Yes, the chronicle rising and the steep fall of the screen sensation Silk Smitha has been perfectly depicted by the quintessential Vidya Balan. Set contrary to the colorful and the entertaining backdrop of south film industry of the 80s, The Dirty picture is just a biopic on the life span and time of Silk Smitha. It shows her struggles, man in her life and her insecurities.
Director Milan Luthria has given an outstanding piece of cinema. Stepping out from the rut to narrate the tragic story of an actress, the film at no point looks immodest or vulgar. The music composer Vishal Shekhar delivers an excellent soundtrack. "Oh la la.." is easily the song of the year sung by Bappi Lahiri and Shreya Gosal, While "Ishq tu piya na.." too stick out one of the lot. Other songs like "Twinkle twinkle little star.." and "Honeymoon ki raat.." needs special mention. Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Watch Online
Silk Smitha aka Vidya in the film came really long way from her struggling days. Making her debut in the TV serial "Hum Paanch", Vidya's bold and seductive avatar is just a complete shocker. Vidya's sizzling show and dare bare act doesn't make her character vulgar or tasteless. She is one of the major causes why anyone would watch this film. Sometimes, while watching the movie, you wonder why you can find Vidya-less scenes in this movie. She's dared to wear no makeup in the next half the movie, which will be very rarely seen in Bollywood movies. She even put on weight because of this role in the movie. The clothes she wore is just a reflection of that time period she is going through. Naseeruddin Shah who has been cast being an aged south superstar with no doubt provides a flawless performance. Emraan Hashmi too stands out as a headstrong, hot blooded, rebellious director. Tusshar also plays his part decently well. Overall, The Dirty Picture is true shocker of the year that is at the top of sex values. Portrayal of an ordinary person rise from scratch to extraordinary high and her subsequent fall has potential to set the bucks register bringing.
