The Film is surely gonna be a D(HIrT)Y PICTURE!
The film starts with a Ooh..Aah.. and ends up in the couch with a bigger ouch! It then moves on to Ooh. La..Laa and at the end of the film one can say Voila! The film is definitely a DHIrTy Picture! Sexcellent and Outstanding! Yes, the film deserves to get a Standing Ovation and lots of applauds and all the awards for Vidya Balan in the season of awards to follow.
Mind It! Whoever had criticized right from the beginning of this films start that Vidya was a bad and a wrong choice to play the sensuous Silk on screen, take back your words as I truly say, No other actress would have done justice to the character of Silk. And today, Silk from above, would be a happy soul to see that a film on her life is portrayed and is received with dignity and respect.
If one even try not to accept it, I certify this that: The film is a truly inspired by Silk Smitha’s life! No doubts about it!
Although its rated as a Dirty Picture, with a little bit of sensuous, erotic and sexual scenes thrown in the film (which is the main essence of this concept), the film truly is a Masterpiece and one of the best films of 2011.
The sets of Madras (not Chennai) in 1980's is brilliant with the entire scenario being Tamil film posters, Magazines and Hoardings. The costumes, the jewellery and the props (tamil magazines, telephones, condoms, cigarettes) all reminds you of being in Madras. Even the smallest of smallest characters are all South Indian with lungis and half sarees. Except for the Hit Tamil Song Nakka Mukka repeatedly in the film, there is Not even a Single Tamil dialogue in this Hindi film, which actually can easily be taken as a South Indian Film.
The film deserves a special mention for the witty and excellent dialogues. One will smile throughout and even laugh out loud at the dialogues. It’s too good and penned with lots of creativity. If the film brought a lot of smile on my face it also got down tears down my cheeks too! Not to forget, some front benchers watching the film in B & C grade centers would go Wettt in their Lungies too! (Lots of such Punch line and dialogues in the film are clap worthy).
The Performance of the 3 men who lust, love and hate Silk got their best tailor made role for their career and with frame 1 to frame - The End its Vidya Vidya and Vidya entertaining the audience from 16 to 60 - Class and Mass audience, irrespective of guys, girls and the other sex too! (Let me add here: Its Woman Power as the multiplex was with 60:40 audiences - the Woman being on the higher ratio)
Finally, as the tag line goes: Films run on 3 things: Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment and Hats off to Ekta Kapoor, Milan Lutharia and Vidya Balan for Entertaining with a 2 hours 25 minutes long Sexcessful (I mean Successful film)
As a South Indian, I would say: Sooooper Hittt Picture Machcha!!! - Highly Recommended. Watch it and get the Poora Paisa Vasool!
