The Dirty Picture (2011) -- Hindi Movie Review.

 Directed by Milan Luthria and made by Ekta and Shobha Kapoor, The Dirty Picture is a wonderful film with explosive dialog and a hammer on performance by Vidya Balan, also starring Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor, The film is a story about a make-up girl who becomes an extra and then a most wanted heroine of the first 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 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 a highly skilled little bit of cinema. Stepping from the safe place to narrate the tragic story of an actress, the film at no point looks immodest or vulgar. The music composer Vishal Shekhar delivers a good soundtrack. "Oh la la.." is easily the song of the entire year sung by Bappi Lahiri and Shreya Gosal, While "Ishq tu piya na.." too be noticeable among 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 attended really long way from her struggling days. Making her debut in the TV serial "Hum Paanch", Vidya's bold and seductive avatar is a complete shocker. Vidya's sizzling show and dare bare act doesn't make her character vulgar or tasteless. She is one of the main reasons why anyone would watch this film. Sometimes, while watching the movie, you wonder why there are Vidya-less scenes in this movie. She has dared to wear no makeup in the next 50% of 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 a reflection of times she goes through. Naseeruddin Shah who has been cast as an aged south superstar without doubt provides a flawless performance. Emraan Hashmi too stands apart as a headstrong, hot blooded, rebellious director. Tusshar also plays his part decently well. Overall, The Dirty Picture holds true shocker of the entire year that's high on sex values. Portrayal of a regular person rise from scratch to extraordinary high and her subsequent fall has potential setting the money register bringing.
