Fashion Movies

  well guys you know the fashion industry. some like it some don’t, well it doesn’t matter what I amgonna talk about is the new Hindi movie “Fashion”, I got a chance to watch it last day.. well honestly I’m not a hindi movie lover but I went for it. so I write what I feel about it.. first thing that I felt about the movie is it’s flow.. I don’t knw I felt that it’s out of it’s flow and the movie is so fast. the objective of the movie is no where it suppose to be. If you guys have seen the movie “The Devil Wears Prada” you will feel that this looks the same.. try it and see.But I like the costume design and the colors.
   Fashionis a 2008 Indian film co-produced, co-written, and directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. The film has a massive star cast which includes Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and newcomers Mugdha Godse and Arjan Bajwa. Based on the dark side of the world of fashion, the movie depicts it through the protagonist's eye. Kangana plays a former supermodel who faces downfall and comes to the streets; though the story resembles the biography of Geetanjali Nagpal, the director has denied that it is based on her life story. Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut won awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively, at the 2009 National Film Awards for their roles.
    Aspiring model Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) expresses her wish to go to Mumbai and pursue her dream of becoming a supermodel. Against her dad's wishes, Meghna leaves her house with dreams in her eyes to strike it big in the modeling world but it is not a path of roses for her. She experiences some major difficulties in her initial days auditioning several times but being rejected. But she gets a good helping hand with an old acquaintance, Rohit (Ashwin Mushran), an aspiring gay designer who assists big shot designer Vinay Khosla (Harsh Chhaya).
      She keeps bumping into another struggling model, Maanav (Arjan Bajwa) while making the rounds of modeling agencies for auditions.She visits Rahul Arora's fashion show where she comes face-to-face with reality of the major people in the industry including the reigning supermodel Shonali Gujral (Kangana Ranaut). She is mocked by the show choreographer Christine and is advised to visit hotshot photographer Kartik (Rohit Roy) for her portfolio. To pay Kartik's high fee she attends functions and even shoots for a lingerie advertisement, all the while mentored by another smalltime model Janet (Mugdha Godse). Subsequently, Meghana's lingerie pictures appear on the cover of a magazine found by her relatives. Meghna becomes good friends with Maanav and even starts sharing his apartment after she faces accommodation problems. Meghna is noticed by a top official Anisha Roy (Kitu Gidwani) of a major modeling agency Panache who brings her to her boss, Abhijit Sarin’s (Arbaaz Khan) notice. Abhijit gets impressed by her ambitious nature and go-getter attitude. Panache’s face is Shonali but though very successful, her drug abuse starts becoming a problem for her and subsequently for Panache.
   Abhijit decides to terminate Shonali’s contract and ropes in Meghna as Panache's new face. Shonali warns Meghna that she will just lose herself as she did.An angered Meghna, unable to believe what happened, resorts to alcohol to relieve herself. She gets into a verbal fight with Janet, when she tells her that she's ruining herself and on the same night attends a rave party where under the influence of cocaine, she unknowingly ends up in bed with a black male bouncer. Later when she comes to her senses, she feels guilty of her act and realises how low she had fallen. She leaves Mumbai to return to her parents in Chandigarh.
