Story:
THE DIRTY PICTURE is a biopic on the life and times of Silk Smitha, a sought-after actress of the 80s who revolutionised Item girls. Set against the backdrop of colorful and entertaining setting of the South film industry of the 80s, the movie has captured the highs and the lows of the sexy siren.
The story begins with Silk smitha (played by Vidya balan) who just have one dream, to make it big in the industry and she is ready to do anything for it. She gets whatever she wants but loses her identity of a small town girl. As Suryakant (Naseeruddin Shah) who plays an aging South Indian superstar of the 80's era puts it in the film, she becomes the dark secret of the film world that cannot be acknowledged in daylight. The first half shows how she becomes the most wanted for films to work and the second half shows the lows of her career.
Performances:
Vidya Balan has done a dare-bare act that's going to take the viewers by complete surprise with her sizzling show. She delivers an astounding performance, pushing the envelope yet again. She has put on 12 kgs for the film and is shown bulky but manages to look good, apart from a few scenes where here tummy is focused more on. Tusshar Kapoor did a decent job playing a writer who is in love with Silk. Emraan Hashmi has a mystic charm to him. He entertains with his dialogue delivery and is refreshing to see him in a different role. Naseeruddin Shah is a gem. He is par-a-class. The rest of the supporting cast has been an added advantage and have done their part well.
Conclusion:
Director Milan Luthria is brave and intelligent for stepping out of the comfort zone to narrate the tragic story of an actress. He did it in 'Once Upon A time in Mumbaai' and he does it again. The film takes you to the 80's era successfully and how films were made those days and what worked. Sex sells, just the package changes. Background score is totally perfect. Music is a blend of the 80's with Bappi Lahiri's 'Ooh La La' already a chartbuster while 'Ishq Sufiana' is in sync with the on-going trend. Milan manages to recreate the 80's era and it's refreshing to see for the younger generation who haven't witnessed the actual. Bobby Singh is good with his cinematography. Dialogues are well written and laudable. On the whole, Balaji Motion Pictures have a winner at hand.
Verdict : Will surely work for 3 reasons... 'Entertainment, Entertainment and Entertainment'.
