An expose on the fashion industry
Madhur Bhandarkar comes up with yet another hard-hitting film that enlightens you, moves you, motivates and deflates you, even shocks and surprises you and of course, entertains you. The solid reason why FASHION works is because Madhur brings alive everything you've read in newspapers or watched on TV as an outsider, to the big screen. And that works and how!
Fashion is the in-thing.
The only unreal aspect about Madhur Bhandarkar movies are the disclaimer tag before the opening credits. Sure the characters and situations in his films are influenced, if not aped, from real-life and paradoxically this is the most original inspiration in our imitated industry.
Watch It!Fashion isn't without flaws though. The only thing that could go against it at the box
Fashion isn't without flaws though. The only thing that could go against it at the box-office is the pace of the film, which is dreadfully slow. It's so slow that it takes a good amount of sheen away from the movie. To sum up, immense amount of hard work has gone into making Fashion and it clearly shows in the final product.
Fashion - Stunning strike by Bhandarkar
Valuating Fashion on the whole, it's strongly recommended for all the audiences. Madhur Bhandarkar has limned the real life drama of Fashion World that offer more surprises as well shocks. Not just in multiplexes, the film is sure to make high waves across other centres too. Hats off to entire team for a flawless and brainy show catering to all audiences… Bhandarkar not just presents the drama, but there is something more educative over here.
Too much yakety yak
Take this. A poke of coke, guzzling gallons of wine, smoking cigarettes like copper chimneys, sleeping around (with Arbaaz Khan, if you please) and modelling outfits that would scare the life out of Dior, Dolce and DKNY: it’s drizzling clichés out here.
Fashion doesn't touch you
Fashion seems to be telling us that a driven, career-oriented woman is destined to be alone and suffer all manner of indignities if a good man isn't around to rescue her. It also seems to say that the only way to be happy is to never become truly successful. Oh yes, it also lectures that true success makes a person arrogant and unlikeable -- thereby paving the path for future failure and disgrace. Now really, is that the kind of entertainment you feel like consuming during the festive week?
A truly outstanding film
Bhandarkar takes us through a labyrinth of emotions, some devastating in their gut-level directness. But at the end, we come away with a film that gives us something to hold on to permanently even as the characters on screen lose practically everything worth holding on to.
Solid performance by Priyanka
But for all I may complain about Bhandarkar, his brand of cinema or his latest film, you have to give it to him- he has made yet another commercial yet uncompromisingly woman-oriented film, and turned that dreaded 'feminist' genre into a successful line of films. And even if nothing else, for making films about women and managing to pull the crowds to actually see them, I doff my hat to you, Mr. Bhandarkar.
Nice but tiring
While Fashion ends up testing your patience, it does have many things going for it. The songs in the film are woven seamlessly into the plot and it is here some filmmakers in apna Bollywood can learn from Madhur. But Madhur ought to have been more controlled, restrained and less indulgent in the subject. Had he done that, ‘Fashion’ might have been a gripping film right to its conclusion.
