Movie Review: The Dirty Picture (2011) (Hindi) - 3/7

 
Rating: 3/7

   This is not exactly a review per se since I haven't watched the whole movie. I came in 15 minutes late for the beggining and left 30 minutes early before the credits rolled in. Yes, I left the theater halfway into the second half and this is my second such incident.

   As for the movie, I hardly think this was based on Silk Smitha's life, and I feel like it's always a matter of coin toss on whether they are lying or not when the producers say it is not based on someone's life story.

   But credit has to be given for Vidya Balan for attempting to play a daring character the likes of which hasn't been done before in Bollywood and also for Naseeruddin Shah for giving a commendable performance as always. There is enough skin show, sexual innuendo's, mindless dialogues, one line punch lines etc for everyone to get through the film. If on the other hand if you were looking out for something deep like a psychological biopic of the persona of a dancer who raised eyes during a point of time when women in various fields were still looked down , then I would suggest you give it a miss.
