The Dirty Picture
November 30, 2011
Producers Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor are known for accepting challenges and backing films like LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA, RAGINI MMS and SHOR IN THE CITY and along with director Milan Luthria and writer Rajat Aroraa had successfully recreated the bygone era with flourish in ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI. Now THE DIRTY PICTURE continues the legacy
THE DIRTY PICTURE draws inspiration from the struggling female actors in the 80s,THE DIRTY PICTURE silk smitha's character provides reality to millions of viewers, but dies a heartbreaking death. She battles fame, fortune and alcohol. & is Brave & daring.Its about a junior artist who became the most sought after female protagonist of the early 80s. Chronicling the meteoric rise and steep fall of a screen sensation, THE DIRTY PICTURE is set against the colorful and entertaining setting of the South film industry of the 80s.
The writing holds the interest and doesn't let you digress from the screen, except for a few minutes in the post-interval portions. The portions between Emraan and Vidya slows the narrative, though, I'd like to add, it picks up dramatically when Vidya gets conned by a maker of porn movies. The sequences thereafter, right till the finale, take the film to the crescendo again. THE DIRTY PICTURE is with several powerful sequences. the sequence when Vidya seduces Naseeruddin Shah, Also, the first encounter with Emraan Hashmi.
On the whole, THE DIRTY PICTURE has an amazing sex-value and most importantly, script-value.
A must watch for entertainment, entertainment and entertainment.
We give it a Three Star!!!
