A Tragedy Called 'Fashion'




There are bad films, then there are those which are outright crap, but Fashion is a tragedy which should be avoided at all costs!

The world of fashion is full of free sex, alcohol, glamour, bitches and queers. We all know that, but it is also full of some really hardworking people who have talent - A fact which Bhandarkar seems to have forgotten completely.

Bhandarkar has a lousy research team, I can totally imagine some old dirty paunchy bloke who has a lot of old filmfare issues from the 90's and got all his research from there. For there is no other justification for such an atrocity!

Bhandarkar seems to have learnt a few new terms - Show Stopper and Coke. For all throughout the movie there is just talk of that! For godsake models dont walk on the runway and raise their arms as if they're being crucified and call it drama...Also all designers are NOT gay and even if they are, they aren't all flaming queens just one step away from being Priscilla, Queen of the desert. Neither do models drink or smoke while getting their make up done, for the smell of smoke cant go away from garments even if u dryclean them and what designer would want a tipsy model on the runway anyway?

Also I do think it is absolutely unfair to repeat real incidents like Carol's unfortunate malfunction on screen with such similar detail. Bhandarkar has a fit formula now...small town girls comes to big city to become someone, hooks up with a biggie, gets a nice boss, becomes someone, then breaks up, hooks up with someone else, gets pregnant and an abortion and the boss brings her down. Then she realises her mistake and makes amends. Blah Blah Blah.

The saving grace you ask me? I would say Mugdha Godse(inspite of her Tranny wedding dress) and Piggy Chops.
