The Dirty Picture
wogma rating: Beg or borrow, but do watch (?)
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!

The Dirty Picture - Preview
The Dirty Picture has hit bull's eye with its first audience interaction - the title of the film. You might hate what you see, but you are curious to see what a film titled The Dirty Picture is about, for sure - age/gender/income/location no bar. The second on-target bullet is the poster. It evokes a reaction - it could be disgust or curiosity. And the final blow is when Vidya Balan talks her slutty talk in the trailers. Sample this -
The trailers collectively give a sense of having a nice story attached to the film and that these other things are necessary to the film but are also marketing gimmicks to hook in the average viewer. Some things like smart witty lines for Vidya Balan and cheesy, corny lines for Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi. That the three men have three different characteristics all say, that there isn't anything terribly wrong in expecting to be engaged and entertained by The Dirty Picture.
Set in the 80's, for better or for worse, I think the film is pretty progressive. I mean, in this age of size-zeroes it is rather brave to flaunt the flab. I'm all for it. Down with anorexia and hail Rubinusque beauty, I say.
Vidya Balan carries of the sultry, unapologetically uninhibited look. And what's not to look forward to in a film that Naseeruddin Shah has chosen. That and the few good films in Milan Luthria's and Balaji Motion Pictures's filmographies make The Dirty Picture a promising film for me. I'm looking forward to this Friday, are you?
Music Reviews:<br /?
Milliblog - "Dirty picture, functional soundtrack."
Music Aloud - "7/10"
Dunkdaft - " a fun album that should perfectly gel with the movie "
Bollyspice - "4/5"
Bollywood Hungama - "3/5"
Happy Sing - "The Dirty Picture is quite dirty, but Vishal-Shekhar here are to be praised for pinpointing the dirtiness. I mean, you can place almost everything and decide what time they are talking about and what they want to express. Not an easy deal."
- meeta, a part of the audience
sattaakkk A slap on the audience's face - The Dirty Picture. The lewd men that watch a film just so they can experience Silk's (Vidya Balan) performance are the one's sitting in the audience right now - you and me. Of course, not me as in literally me, because I'm neither a man nor a lesbian. And sure, not all men enjoy a bold woman. But there are enough of us in the audience for whom Silk Smitha starred in 400+ films! And that's just one sex symbol from the 80s. There were others like Nylon Nandini and Polyster Padmini whose lives collectively forms The Dirty Picture's Silk. Even their names make us smirk, and a second later, we snicker at what their personalities stand for. Yet a sizable number from amongst us watch their films.
The Dirty Picture is about a woman who not only flaunts what she has, but knows its value and encashes it unapologetically. She has accepted herself. How many women do you know who are absolutely comfortable with who they are? And I haven't even asked about them being comfortable with their sexuality. In fact, so relaxed is Silk with herself that she makes us uncomfortable.
The Dirty Picture is an uncomfortable watch. How can someone be so positive about doing something that is so dark-gray in society, that it's almost black? And she is making the same society, us, dance. Add to this discomfort, the torture of having to watch flab and the female lead's stomach tiers, in the 21st century. Hell, we are even uncomfortable with our bodies.
But, Silk is uninhibited and so is the director, Milan Luthria. It's a huge risk to make your female lead look ugly and fat. And to say, "You want gratuitous skin-show? Here, take it. And here's some more." You are literally force-fed cleavage to the point that the guy (yes, guy!) sitting behind me said "It's getting boring now" when there is a half-naked woman on the screen.
Yeah, the second half slips. The first half is breezy and completely entertaining. The second half gets too caught up in showing the pathos that comes with stardom. It does leave you with a "She came. She got you excited. She left." But the lull in the second half might be intentional. Because the said pathos however mundane and predictable, needed to be shown. Maybe the line just before the interval is a warning. It's a clever line.
And so is almost every line in the film. The dialogue in "The Dirty Picture" feels like a twitter timeline composed of extremely witty people. Over-written, maybe, but I thoroughly enjoyed the humor, I laughed out loud, and there were instances when the theater laughed after a pause that it took for the line to register. The wit alone is entertainment enough.
I'm not a huge fan of self-referential jokes in our films because they get repetitive. But, The Dirty Picture has one in which it felt like the director has left an extra second or two, like a stand-up comedian, for the audience to "get" it. And it works. It's a huge compliment to both Milan Luthria's confidence and the actor's performance, because it meant that he made us forget who he is.
Similarly, all your awe for the actor that Naseeruddin Shah is vanishes and you want to slap him for his arrogance and sleaze. Tusshar Kapoor plays a forgettable character, and I mean that as a compliment. Because, his character is meant to be unimportant and he plays it well.
Vidya Balan...almost the whole review is a rave about her. She made me feel for a character who I otherwise would have dismissed as characterless.You could see why men would fall for Silk, and not just for her physical boldness. Like films that glamorize underworld dons, she has glamorized our "sex icons" from yesteryears and you don't feel squirmy. Instead, you empathize and even convince yourself that they have been victims. Even though every decision they make towards that dark-gray zone of society is a conscious one.
Sure, the writing must have its merits for the actors to achieve what they did. But, throughout the film, you feel that you are getting snippets of someone's life, like newspaper cuttings. The flow is missing and you just see glimpses of the layers that make Silk an intriguing person. It also felt like this was done knowingly, to add to the enigma that she is. But, it left me wanting to peel off the mask and see the person behind. A feeling of being told an incomplete story. On the other hand, I'm glad they didn't serve me a sappy backstory.
Usually, something lacking in the story would make me recommend a film a little less. But there are other bits in the writing that make up for it in The Dirty Picture. Especially, the climax, not in the way it's played out, but the reason behind why things end the way they do. It's subtle and it flows by swiftly. But it's beautiful and is one of the few things that work in the second half.
Again, those shortcomings still do not take away from the bravado it takes to show a plump woman for 150 minutes; the pluck it takes to make cleavage undesirable (okay, maybe I'm taking it too far, but it makes cleavage look like breasts - a regular part of anatomy); the nerve it takes to tell the story of a

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Warning: this section has some details that could distort your experience while watching the movie. I strongly recommend reading this only after you have seen the movie or if you have decided not to see it.
Plot Summary
Silk (Vidya Balan) a village girl wants to do well herself and has no qualms about using any means at her disposal.
What Worked
- Silk being in love with her own photographs
- The fun poked at critics. Loved it! :P
- The award scene - I liked it and I didn't. It works but didn't like it because it put on screen what was being told with subtlety so far.
- Vidya Balan's make-up towards the end of the film. Her face actually looks swollen from having had too much to drink.
What did not
- The red sari in the end. Come on, the woman never wore a proper sari in her life! The bindi was ok, I could go with it only because Silk Smitha would wear a bindi with hot pants.
- Vidya Balan's make-up in the beginning. Looked a little too labored. The bra-strap showing all the time, the nail-polish half-removed, was too accurately the same throughout, the unkemptness looked methodical.
- An "amma" knows the name of a producer of a film, really? I thought we knew our films only by their star cast.
- Emraan Hashmi's lines that start with, "kya hai na?" How lame!
- Silk who is obsessed by how she looks seeing her reflection in muck. A metaphor too literal.
- Silk's nastiness with Suryakant's wife, felt out of character.
Parental Guidance:
Looks like you haven't read the review. sigh
- Violence: None
- Language: Lots of sexual innuendoes, they go with the story. But are innuendoes nevertheless.
- Nudity & Sexual content: Lots of sensuous scenes. And Vidya Balan's cleavage is staring you in the face through almost every frame in the scene.
- Concept: The price of achieving stardom.
- General Look and Feel: Bright and engaging.

Meetu : story was just the same old concept skin selling for stardom. Vidya is the only factor.
@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 I'm glad at least some of us appreciate what she has done to herself and what she'll have to do now to get the flab off...for our entertainment. :D
@Suman lead actors 3.5?
