Entertainer, Without Flaw! Dirty picture to me:)

I am an 80's kid too. The one deprived of watching a "Silk Smitha" movie at an age when she conquered hearts.(?) Neverthless, I was too small to classify her into any brackets then. Just two popular Malayalam songs, "Olangale" and "Puzhayorath" featuring her and reading bits and pieces of news about her death as a 10 year old is all what I remember.

My curiosity for 'The Dirty Picture' was quite natural. Vidhya Balan, Nasseruddin Shah, A real life story, and all the media praises to follow. Contrary to usual, Murphy dint strike back and I managed to get into a Regal Cinema's on a Sunday evening( Just 3rd day of the movie release).

I had my presumption about how the story would progress. An aspiring actor/dancer, days of struggle, followed by stardom, and then getting lost in the doom of it, to see a downfall!! Humm, I am pretty impressed the way I conceived the story!
But, what makes me write it down is a few performances and the audacity the makers had. And that makes the movie worth the attention it demands. Not to disregard the ENTERTAINMENT^3 factor:)

A quick word on the show stoppers according to me.
Vidhya Balan: Versatile. A Vidhya show it is majorly. The very fact that a so called main stream artist ventured into being Silk is appreciable to me. All the variations the character demands is well portrayed. Most convincing being, the final few scenes of wanting to be loved and losing herself in drugs. I would give Vidhya a 4 on 5 and also think its a sure National award Nominee performance.

Imran Hasmi : Actor. " All your pictures need not be dirty, Mr Imran" . A very impressive performance, by the serial kisser. I am sure the actor in you comes out when the script demands it. And you dint fail to impress the umpteen "Bollywood" fans. Thanks to "Ishq Sufiyana".

Apart from this, I feel it was
A safe attempt
Good Choice of Actors
Commercial Element right in measure
Carefully scripted with apt/smart dialogues.
And an Entertainer, without flaw!

Dirty picture on an average deserves not less than a 4 star!!!!
