Madhur Bhandarkar movies are always something to look forward to. The acclaimed director of movies like Chandni Bar, Corporate, Page 3 is back with his take on the Fashion world. The actors have been carefully picked. Priyanka Chopra plays the main lead with Kangana Ranaut, Mugdha Godse, Arbaaz Khan, Samir Soni and Arjan Bajwa in supporting roles. Does the National Award winning director deliver, with such huge expectations riding on the film?
Fashion is about Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra), a girl from Chandigarh with huge dreams of becoming a super model. Like hundreds who land up in Mumbai everyday to pursue their dreams, Meghna against the wish of her father goes to the city of dreams. With great looks, right attitude and the help of a few friends from the Fashion industry, Meghna struggles her way to the top.
Fame, money and a great career in the Fashion world has its own set of negatives. And as the saying goes ‘What goes up, has to come down’. Soon Meghna’s career starts faltering which leads to alcohol and drug abuse. Friends turn into foes and unable to bear the price she has paid for success, the once super model is now psychologically deeply affected. How she makes a comeback forms the rest of the tale.
Fashion Film Review
Madhur Bhandarkar is a master story-teller and he proves it yet again with Fashion. With a bit of shock value attached to it, the director brilliantly presents most of the sad and unfortunate truths of the Fashion world. The only flaw her is, Madhur takes his own time which results in a movie of 2 hour 50 minutes runtime when it preferably should have finished in about 135 minutes. The drug and alcohol abuse in the second half is stretched too long.
Some of the scenes really stand out and Madhur has also conveniently borrowed some real life incidents into the movie.
- The scene wherein Priyanka Chopra takes on Arbaaz Khan in front of his wife.
- Priyanka wakes up only to realise she has just slept with a stranger.
- Kangana Ranaut’s wardrobe malfunction scene, which is heavily inspired by the Carol Gracious incident a few years ago.
- Kangana Ranaut on the streets of Mumbai scene, which again is taken from a real life incident, that of Geetanjali Nagpal, who was found begging on the streets of Delhi.
- When Priyanka freezes on the ramp.
- The romance in the first half too is beautifully executed.
Apart from the length the only other flaw is the climax. For a movie that was so convincing throughout, the writers have penned down a climax which is quite unrealistic. The music and cinematography is just perfect.
Madhur Bhandarkar is known for extracting great performance out of actors and he does it again. Priyanka Chopra has just delivered an award worthy knockout performance. What Kareena achieved with Jab We Met, Priyanka should with Fashion. Kangana Ranaut is honestly overdoing these psycho roles, after several back to back similar roles in the recent past, Kangana needs a change. Mugdha Godse has a great body and screen presence. Arjan Bajwa is good. Samir Soni and Harsh Chhaya are brilliant. Arbaaz Khan surprisingly is very effective.
Watch Fashion for Madhur Bhandarkar’s super direction, watch it for Priyanka Chopra’s best performance since Aitraaz, watch it also to know more about the shocking facts of the Fashion industry and watch it only in theatre and not on pirated CDs or DVDs.
So I go with 4 on 5 stars for Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion and award it a Highly Recommended rating.

Other Notes – A great movie after a long long time. Best since Naseeruddin Shah’s A Wednesday. Looking forward we have 3 releases lined up for next week. Vinay Pathak’s Dasvidaniya, Rajshri’s Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi and Sanjay Dutt’s EMI all release on Friday the 7th of November. Do visit Indicine.com for the reviews and the latest news, videos and pictures.
Again, I request whoever is reading this; not to watch movies on pirated CDs or DVDs. Oh yeah, downloading movies from torrent sites, watching online on video sharing sites is illegal too. A hell of a lot of effort and money goes into the making of every film and the only way the makers of such great films recover the money back is if you watch the movie in theatre.

Great article. It is very unfortunate that over the last one decade, the travel industry has already been able to to deal with terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu, swine flu, as well as first ever real global economic downturn. Through all of it the industry has really proven to be powerful, resilient and dynamic, getting new ways to deal with trouble. There are often fresh challenges and chance to which the sector must yet again adapt and react.
I have seen a great deal of useful items on your web-site about pcs. However, I have the judgment that lap tops are still less than powerful sufficiently to be a option if you generally do tasks that require loads of power, like video editing. But for internet surfing, word processing, and the majority of other common computer work they are fine, provided you do not mind small screen size. Many thanks sharing your ideas.

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any points for rookie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
May I just say what a comfort to uncover an individual who truly knows what they are discussing on the internet. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More people have to look at this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you are not more popular given that you definitely possess the gift.
In these days of austerity as well as relative stress and anxiety about having debt, many people balk about the idea of using a credit card in order to make acquisition of merchandise or pay for a trip, preferring, instead only to rely on the tried in addition to trusted procedure for making settlement – raw cash. However, if you have the cash available to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that’s the best time for them to use the credit cards for several factors.
My brother suggested I would possibly like this blog. He used to be entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not believe just how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
Thanks for revealing your ideas on this blog. In addition, a fable regarding the financial institutions intentions when talking about foreclosure is that the loan company will not have my repayments. There is a certain quantity of time in which the bank can take payments every now and then. If you are very deep inside hole, they should commonly desire that you pay that payment 100 . However, i am not saying that they will not take any sort of installments at all. Should you and the standard bank can have the ability to work anything out, your foreclosure process may stop. However, if you continue to miss out on payments wih the new approach, the home foreclosure process can pick up exactly where it left off.
Thanks for the tips on credit repair on this amazing site. The things i would offer as advice to people should be to give up the mentality that they may buy currently and pay back later. Being a society all of us tend to make this happen for many factors. This includes holidays, furniture, as well as items we really want to have. However, you should separate the wants from the needs. While you’re working to raise your credit ranking score actually you need some sacrifices. For example you may shop online to save money or you can turn to second hand suppliers instead of high-priced department stores for clothing.
I do like the way you have presented this particular concern and it does indeed offer me personally a lot of fodder for thought. However, because of just what I have experienced, I simply just wish as the actual opinions pile on that individuals remain on point and don’t embark upon a soap box involving the news du jour. All the same, thank you for this fantastic point and even though I can not really concur with it in totality, I regard the viewpoint.
Thanks for your post. I also think that laptop computers have gotten more and more popular currently, and now in many cases are the only form of computer found in a household. It is because at the same time actually becoming more and more very affordable, their processing power is growing to the point where they are as powerful as personal computers from just a few in years past.

Thanks for the tips shared on your own blog. One more thing I would like to mention is that weight-loss is not exactly about going on a fad diet and trying to get rid of as much weight that you can in a couple of days. The most effective way to lose weight naturally is by taking it slowly and gradually and right after some basic points which can allow you to make the most from the attempt to drop some weight. You may realize and already be following many of these tips, although reinforcing information never hurts.

Also I believe that mesothelioma is a scarce form of cancer malignancy that is commonly found in those previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous tissues form within the mesothelium, which is a safety lining that covers almost all of the body’s bodily organs. These cells ordinarily form in the lining on the lungs, stomach, or the sac that encircles one’s heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me just as much as this one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I truly thought you would probably have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you could fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.
