The Dirty Review

In my last blog, I briefly applauded the movie so I thought I should give I some justice. BTW, this one was long overdue. First and foremost, RESPECT !!! \m/

I must be honest when I say that I judged the movie by its trailers; something I often never do. Nonetheless, when I heard there is this movie in which Vidya Balan shows her skin as a peacock shows of its feathers, I was far too discouraged to even bother to watch this movie. I am glad I put that apprehension to rest. This is amazing movie and this article will pretty much sum that up.

The movie is a tribute to Silk Smitha, a “B-grade” movie actress but the character Vidya Balan has portrayed is far from that. If Vidya Balan has even acted 50% of what Silk Smitha was in real life, then the movie industry mistook a diamond for something that can sparkle in the sun. The ESP of the movie in my opinion is indeed the skin. But think about it, the same “B-Grade” movies that we shun for its sleaze and cheap sex is something that titillated the masses all over India.

The formula of the movie is pretty much simple. It is the story of a poor star-struck girl who chose to market her body than her talent to reach stardom. But what won me over is the power-packed script and the witty comebacks by Miss Balan. Two of the climaxes of the movie were her first encounter with the serial kisser (Emran Hashmi – undoubtedly gets more talentless by the minute) and the way Silk works her charm. It was like watching Guru, only a much more sexier version of it. The naughtiness and the skin-show have class, truly they were so OOO LAA LAA….

Vidya Balan has won me over. From the idealist but emotionally passionate Lalita in Parineeta, the bitingly witty in Guru, the spectacularly scary in Bhool Bhulaiya, the mentally pragmatic in Halla Bol, the steamingly hot in Ishquiya, the truly magnificent in No one killed Jessica to the spectacularly dazzling in the dirty picture, Vidya Balan is an actress par excellence.

If you still are having second thoughts about the movie, trust my words, it’s a movie you SHOULD watch with your parents and be in awe of the woman who has proved to you that there can be beauty in sleaze.
