Watched the hindi flick "Fashion" this evening. Guess my opinion of Bollywood remains largely unchanged, and if anything, the large scale mediocrity of Bollywood effort is simply reinforced (I guess Rock On was something of an exception after all). I have no idea why it takes 3 and a half hours to tell this Fashion story that you could have guessed if you knew what the movie was about.
That said, hold you breath... there is one bright spot..... yes, even I admit that there is one brilliant bit. The scene where Kangana Ranaut, the cocaine filled supermodel heavily under the influence of drugs and alcohol transforms from a giddy inebriated shadow of a person into the supermodel that she needs to be as she walks out to open a show .... the only bit about the movie that was subtle yet brilliant. The scene intends to show how supermodels are able to turn it on, when required ... but it goes far beyond that. For one, it demonstrates that Kangana Ranaut is a helluvan actress, and two .... the scene is simply such an outlier in the movie in terms of quality that it was probably not the Directors' idea. It had to be someone elses :)
I can't say the scene makes the movie worthwhile .....so don't waste your time and money. However, if you have already watched the movie and find the scene on youtube, let me know.

Strange...me watched it on Thu evening too. Thought it was a pretty good. Although a bit long with cliched dialogues an above average movie overall.
Yeah, its always so predictable, isn't it ... it never changes ... the plot is usually pathetic, the acting, just ordinary, and the dialogues so obvious, as if the Director was scared that the movie was being produced for robots with limited language and emotion processing capability.
Its amazing that these guys have been making films for a living and there is simply no delta even at a skill level, leave alone imagination and creativity. Its like a bad bricklayer making the same mistake every time he picks up a brick.
Hmm..."Piggy Chops" was awesome in this movie man. Anyways lets hope "Quantam Of Solace" offers something better.
who on earth is "piggy chops"?
"Piggy Chops" is Priyanka Chopra's nickname.
