The Dirty Picture Review {4/5} & Review Rating Intermittently, real life is far more appealing and compelling than fiction. And a biopic -- which attempts to recount a person's life story or at least the most historically momentous years of his/her life -- is most demanding for not just the storyteller/s, but also the actors who bracket together with those films. Occasionally, a dash of some imaginary anecdotes are incorporated in biopics, since the moviegoer seeks some diversion and entertainment in a movie, besides enlightenment. Having said that I'd like to add that it's easier to take a recognizable route, to opt for the tried and tested, but it's frightfully difficult to be diverse. Producers Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor are known for accepting challenges and backing films like LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA, RAGINI MMS and SHOR IN THE CITY and along with director Milan Luthria and writer Rajat Aroraa had successfully recreated the bygone era with flourish in ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI. Now THE DIRTY PICTURE fires all powerful bullets to stir your mind's eye. The general feeling is, THE DIRTY PICTURE is a biopic on the life and times of Silk Smitha, a sought-after actress of the 80s. I personally feel that THE DIRTY PICTURE draws inspiration from the struggling female actors in the 80s, whose insurmountable and indomitable spirit made them emerge triumphant and create a distinctive space for themselves in the male-dominated industry. It's a recreation of an era, with the makers seeking motivation from a lot of characters to create this one woman. Let me clear this at the very outset. THE DIRTY PICTURE not only draws attention to the life of a sex goddess, but also makes us responsive of the catastrophe behind the facade. Silk -- the principal character in THE DIRTY PICTURE -- provides titillation to millions of viewers, but dies a forlorn and heartbreaking death. She battles fame, fortune and alcohol. Brave, daring and provocative, THE DIRTY PICTURE doesn't cross the line into impropriety and offensiveness. Envisage a junior artist who became the most sought after female protagonist of the early 80s. Chronicling the meteoric rise and steep fall of a screen sensation, THE DIRTY PICTURE is set against the colorful and entertaining setting of the South film industry of the 80s. The quintessential siren, Silk, knew her spectators and it didn't seem like anything would stop the intensely motivated starlet, till it did, in the shape of unrequited love. To the world, she was the queen of sensuality. But, at heart, Silk was just another woman craving for true love. An unfortunate encounter with deceit and infidelity led to dire consequences! THE DIRTY PICTURE is embellished with several powerful sequences. Note the sequence when Vidya convinces/seduces Naseeruddin Shah, after he refuses to work with her. It's remarkable. Also, the first encounter with Emraan Hashmi. Noteworthy! Much later, the volatile sequence at the awards ceremony [the

A Super Power Packed Performance by Vidya Balan makes "The Dirty Picture" a wonderful cinematic experience in all ways namely beauty,retro look and sensuality. Director Milan Luthria has ensured that the screenplay and the pace of the film are good enough to hold the audiences to their seats without loosing their attention. In addition to the above one foot tapping number in "Oo la la" and a divine song in "Ishq Sufiana" has added to the interest of the viewers. Naserudding,Imran and the actor played by Selvaganesh has done full Justice to the roles given to them. The real star of course of the film is unanimously Miss Vidya Balan and she is sure to have many awards in her kitty. The dialogues of the movie are another hero which are sure to develop a Waah feeling. Overall a strong Thumbs Uppp!!!!! Go and have a blast,you are sure not to get dirty.

the dirty picture is a new page in bollywood cinema.very different.it reminds you of Fashion in fact i think if the movie would have been directed by Madhur Bhandarkar it would have been slightly better.Milan Luthria did a nice job but as always his direction is not that powerful in fact in first half i thought that he could have done better but he didn't do justice Vidya's character properly in first half.Vidya could have done a much much better job if directed properly.direction was strictly above average.rest all the things in the film were perfect.be it sets,costumes,even small things like telephone were perfect.Milan did bring the feel of 80's in this film.his research was very good.Vidya was brilliant.in some scenes she was just outstanding.at some places you do get goose bums when you see her.Naseeruddin was also very good as usual.Emraan was bit different still very good.Tusshar had short role compared to other actors he did a good job.music was very good.overall a good film.a film not to be missed.recommended.

The movie is all about vidya balan and her journey . Vidya balan took her character as silk into the new level. And obviously i would like to mention about Imran hashmi ' he is improving in his every movies . And he delivers a fine act . But the real star of the movie is the Dialogues. From start to the very end Rajat Arora's screenplay and Dialogues are superb. He is the real star of the show. Nasser sir is top rated as always. Tushar is okay.And others in the cast are also very good. Music is very Good. Overall it is an excellent movie from all respect.Its entertaing and also classy.If you are fond of good movies then miss it on your own Risk.
