Fashion:
Its been long that a movie like Fashion was released. Hats off to Madhur Bhandarkar with equal accolades to Priyanka Chopra to carry off the role so well. This movie did have a definite taste of his own and Madhur did not make it the same as his previous movies. This was a movie which was a bit hatke as compared to his last few like Corporate and Page 3 where there was more emphasis on the story and the b
ackground on which it was different. More so they had had a very grim and heavy ending, leaving everything to be so evil. But this movie is different. Its more about individuality and the struggle he or she faces while rising up the ladder to success.
The story starts with Priyanka Chopra as a middle class Chandigarh girl who dreams big and whats to make a mark in the fashion industry,after she wins a local beauty contest. but like most middle class families she meets with a strong no co operation from her father.Still determined to make it big,she enters the fashion world and her struggle to stardom has been beautifully depicted by Madhur Bhandarkar. The real situation starts when success gets into her head and her attitude turns into arrongance. And then begins her fall. But with time and encouragement from her closest few she struggles to rise up again. The difficulties that one faces in that situation when one starts again from the begining and how tough then it becomes,even more tough than it was starting new is once again very well depicted well by Bhandarkar. The emotions involved,the weight of self expectation and the expectation of others with their real faces upfront more so on the ground that you have lost your self confidence and hope from your own self is very well shown here. Ultimately Priyanka manages to do it..albeit once again,which is actually the tough part.
This Movie is Priyanka's. Hats off to the actress for the splendid performance. She will surely take it all this time. Her day has come now. All the film fare awards would be singing only one name:best actress Priyanka Chopra. Madhur has indeed done a splendid job and he has left no stone unturned to show the darkness behind the glamour world.
The stroy which essentially is the stroy of the struggle
, rise and then fall and then again struggle and rise finally has been beautifully told with the Fashion industry in its background. Kangana Ranaut too has given a great performance, but nothing much can be added to her role. Over all the movie in simple words is superb. 
The essential theme is all about the ambition of a person that he/she does not realize that in the pursuation of this ambition he looses so many things and he/she is not conscious about the cost that he has to pay for the ambition he/she fulfills. As long he/she is conscious about the price that he/she is paying then its fine. If not then it indeed is a big price that he/she has paid when he/she looks back and sees it. Its all about being ambitious and knowing where you are going and conscious about the price that you are paying. As long as you acknowledge that you would always enjoy the success for when you reach the pinnacle,its very lonely up there,and one must be aware of this fact. I don't mean to say that given this fact that one must not pursue success,its just that one must acknowledge the reality of success.
The other aspect of the movie which has been beautifully shown is the fact that one most not judge others on one's own barometer of success and one must learn to accept others as they are as well as where they stand today in life and whatever compromises they have made.This is one theme that has been beautifully shown. Hats off to Madur Bhandarkar once again. I guess there are thinking filmmakers surely out there, but if you want to see an intelligent film maker,then Madhur Bhandarkar surely fits the bill.
