Review of The Dirty Picture (2011) by Sathi S — 12 May 2012
Vidya Balan - entertainment, entertainment, entertainment, & she definitely was the entertainment in this flick. It's obviously not the typical Indian film that one can watch with the whole extended family but I liked that it showed the reality of not only Silk's (South Indian - film star) life but that of many others who don't get to be the IT girl in but settle for roles like these. They're judged by society, however the same society that judges them promotes them and their role by watching these types of movies.
Emraan Hasmi was superb in his role. The arrogant artsy director who hates the Silk type and wants more for the industry and ultimately he wins but loses.
Naseeruddin Shah played his part well, a little too well. He definitely depicted that sleezy, aging superstar who lives two lives; one with his female costars and the other with his presentable, respected wife.
