The Dirty Picture - Wogma Readers Reviews

The Dirty Picture

Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi, Tusshar Kapoor, Vidya Balan Dir: Milan Luthria

wogma rating: Buy the DVD already ^(?)

quick review: It's dirty and you'll love it. For its wit even if might seem a little over-written. For its nerve even if the after-taste is that of an under-cooked story. For Vidya Balan because she is entertainment!

Rohit:

Meetu, you write the reviews so beautifully. You tell us all the details without giving away any story. I watched this movie first and then read your review, and it justifies the story, characters and actors as it should.
I reckon you should write reviews for some big newspapers.

Just read the HT review on this film, the reviewer has told every single bit of the story. I preferred your review over his. :-)

Guddu:

Meetu : story was just the same old concept skin selling for stardom. Vidya is the only factor.

meetu:

@Rohit Thank you! I guess I should try newspapers, huh? :P

@Guddu I liked the dialogue too. The two put together were enough for me. This time. :D

Anand Mandalika:

This one's for Vidya what Umrao Jaan was for Rekha and Chandni Bar was for Tabu. Despite a slower second half, the movie on the whole is so well done. I did wonder who in real world was referred to by Naseeruddin's and Emraan's characters. Just hope that Vidya keeps getting such good roles, at least once in a while.

A note about the hard work she had to put in - when I saw SRK and Aamir display their six-packs in OSO and Ghajini, I was quite impressed. But for a leading heroine to put on so much flab just for one movie ? That's the kind of conviction and confidence that one rarely gets to see these days. I just can't bear to think how much the poor dame will have to slog now to lose those pounds :(

surender mohan sharma:

The dirty picture is definitely an outstanding film. It deserves more than 5 full marks. HT is unfair in its rating. Vidya outstanding/startling performance without being vulgar convey hypocrisy of Inidan/Asain masculine society. It should be renamed as The True Picture. My fabulous congrat to Vidya, Nasrudddin Shah and others and to not the least Milin Luthuria and Rajat Arora as well.

Gaurav Gulati:

This guy never went to his village..very sad....people forget everything when God give them something. This is common culture in india not to take care of things they were very much part of something. He could have adopted his village and transform it and could be remembered for whole life.
