Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Nilanjan Chopra I like Priyanka Chopra and i consider her as my elder sister.I like her but I hate this movie.I don't like any movie that shows my Didiji taking intoxicants.I was very angry to see Priyankadidiji taking intoxicants in this movie.I have tweeted her saying that she should cancel any film offer which tells her to take intoxicants for a character in any film.This is a worthless movie and this should be banned as it shows my Didiji taking intoxicants.I am against intoxicants totally.I am against alcohol,tobacco and narcotics.I always tweet Priyankadidiji not to take intoxicants both in films and real life.She does not listen to me.I am fed up with her.But I am hopeful that one day she will not take intoxicants in films and in real life.
sunny155 I saw this movie yesterday and Priyanka Chopra's role as a Fashion Model was fantastic. The movie portrays the dark side of Indian Fashion Industry. Meghna Mathur (Priyanka) an ambitious girl from Chandigarh moves to Mumbai to become model, without the consent of her father. She struggles hard to become a model and faces the dark side of fashion industry. She becomes top model very soon but she becomes too much arrogant and involves in all immoral activities. Her career graph begin seeing downfall and she looses all friends and relations because of her excessive pride.The role of Kittu Gidwani and Priyanka reminds me of Meryll Streep and Anna Hathway from "Devil Wears Prada". Both movies are somewhat long and have similarities.The Cast in the movie is superb and well selected- Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut, Mugdha Godse, Arbaaz khan, Kitu Gidwani all were superb."Mar Jaava", " Aashiyana" Songs were also excellent and suits very well to theme of movie.A must see movie from (real life) film maker Madhur Bhandarkar.
Herag Halli MB, has a gift for film-making.He selects everyday themes and put his own spin on them. 'Fashion," is yet another spin on his bowling score that includes some great movies; including my personal favorite's "Satta," and "Chandini Bar". Even though the movie has a "dejavu" feeling after the interval (wait a minute, did't I see this before-Meghan meets Sarin-same Catwalk-same fashionistas etc etc) The one actor who shines bright is Kangana Ranout who has an edge over Priyanka at least in this movie. She does the "Drug addict" bit to perfection. The movie shows "Behind the Scenes" look into the Catwalk Trade-some exxagerated-some scary and some-pretty convincingly believable. This reminds me of the Life and tribulations of a Joker as in "Mera Naam Joker." where the Show has to go on-no matter what-and it does-meanwhile the audience is intrigued but nevertheless entertained as all of Madhur Bandharkar's films do. One day they will all reach a cult status when the Film Buffs will be quoting his films.
Chrysanthepop With 'Fashion' Bhandarkar, quite obviously, takes us to the world of fashion. The storytelling falls on the same line as his previous films like 'Corporate', 'Page 3' and 'Chandni Bar'. In a way this is a strength and weakness. The good thing about it is that it shows a darker side of the fashion industry, though Bhandarkar does not go as extreme like he did in 'Page 3'. The problem with his portrayal is that there is no good side. The fashion industry is portrayed as hell. Clearly it couldn't be that bad for every model. I'm not saying that Bhandarkar needs to balance both the good and the bad in his film (as his focus is on the negative) but a glimpse of the positive would have been interesting. Bhandarkar's own 'Satta' is an example (and I believe it is his best film to date).What is it that attracts people about becoming a part of the fashion industry? Is it just the glitter and glamour? What is it that attracts Meghna to become a supermodel? These are things I would have liked to see in the film but Bhandarkar pretty much follows the 'small-town girl enters hell' routine. This was also the same problem with 'Page 3' (where all the rich and wealthy are portrayed as bad), 'Corporate' (ditto) and 'Chandni Bar' (society is bad). What Bhandarkar does is simply throw the negative in the audience's face and let the 'heroine' suffer.Moreover, Bhandarkar infuses some deja-vu and clichéd plots such as Meghna getting pregnant (a la Tara Sharma in 'Page 3'). The homosexual characters are stereotypically portrayed (with the exception of Samir Soni's character). Perhaps a more satirical approach could have made this a better film. Where editing is concerned, there are too many walk-on-the ramp scenes. Alright so it's a movie about fashion so that is expected but overdoing commercial isn't necessary (though it is not as bad as 'The Devil Wears Prada') Yet, 'Fashion' isn't all that bad. It does make one aware of the kind of darkness that taints the industry. The storytelling is compelling in parts as I liked the idea of showing the rise of one model leading to another's fall from grace.The performances are good. It's been a long while since Priyanka Chopra's been in a role of substance and she does a good job of carrying the film. Mughda Godse makes a confident debut and definitely does a fine job. Kangana Ranaut is a little too loud and is clearly getting typecast as the damsel in distress. Samir Soni too does a fine job and Ashwin Mushran performs adequate as Meghna's supporter. Kitu Gidwani and Arjan Bajwa make their presence felt and Arbaaz Khan is sufficient.Overall, 'Fashion' is certainly no bad watch. I like that Bhandarkar attempts different kinds of films and the risky subject matters that scare away other filmmakers. There may be a little pretension and one-sidedness but in the end it's the story of an individual trying to make it and then losing herself in an albeit exaggerated biased ruthless bad world.
