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 Ranauts 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 Bhandarkars 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.

Thanks for your strategies. One thing I have noticed is always that banks as well as financial institutions really know the spending patterns of consumers plus understand that many people max away their real credit cards around the getaways. They wisely take advantage of this real fact and then start flooding the inbox and snail-mail box by using hundreds of no-interest APR card offers shortly when the holiday season ends. Knowing that in case you are like 98 in the American community, you’ll get at the possible opportunity to consolidate financial debt and move balances towards 0 interest rates credit cards.

One thing I want to touch upon is that weightloss system fast can be performed by the perfect diet and exercise. People’s size not simply affects the look, but also the complete quality of life. Self-esteem, depressive disorder, health risks, plus physical capabilities are affected in an increase in weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the reason. While excessive food and never enough work out are usually guilty, common health concerns and trusted prescriptions might greatly help to increase size. Many thanks for your post here.

Many thanks for your post. I want to write my opinion that the expense of car insurance varies greatly from one coverage to another, given that there are so many different issues which give rise to the overall cost. One example is, the brand name of the car will have a tremendous bearing on the charge. A reliable old family auto will have an inexpensive premium when compared to a flashy sports vehicle.

Thanks for giving your ideas on this blog. Also, a fantasy regarding the banking institutions intentions if talking about foreclosed is that the standard bank will not have my payments. There is a specific amount of time that this bank will require payments here and there. If you are also deep within the hole, they’ll commonly require that you pay that payment 100 . However, i am not saying that they will not take any sort of repayments at all. In case you and the financial institution can find a way to work something out, the foreclosure method may end. However, should you continue to skip payments wih the new strategy, the foreclosure process can just pick up exactly where it was left off.

An attention-grabbing dialogue is value comment. I believe that it is best to write more on this matter, it may not be a taboo topic but usually individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Thanks for your posting on this site. From my personal experience, often times softening upward a photograph could provide the digital photographer with an amount of an imaginative flare. Many times however, this soft cloud isn’t what exactly you had planned and can usually spoil a normally good picture, especially if you consider enlarging it.

Additionally they know what types of cars are given to higher risk as well as higher risk they’ve already the higher your premium charge.
