Priyanka Chopra as Everyone know She is Miss World and know about Fashion world deeply also. Madhur Bhandarkar chose priyanka in lead role that's good luck to him and kangana ranaut is best actress undoubtely. A Girl how start her dream career in Mumbai that was showed awesome. And the models are how trap in other ways and the risk of fashion life Cleverly implemented. Madhur always comes with good stories this is perfect modeling story, He has showed in that screen very hypothically. Priyanka and Kangana are best performance on the screen, as Priyanka worked in modeling world earlier that is great advantage to win National Award through this film and Kangana also won best supporting actress. Then Everyone know how the movie was judged by National awards team to announce the awards. N Number of films will come in future on fashion and modeling this is the best picture ever. Priyanka,Kangana and Mugdha Godse so cool leading roles in entire movie. Thanks to Madhur Bhandarkar to made a good picture in bollywood on modeling.

Bollywood movie industry has started making realistic films. This movie explores the world of fashion and all those who wish to be model won't get inspired after watching this film. "In the world of fashion you have to compromise more than just your morals." Models here are alcoholics and drug addicts.Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) is a small town middle class girl who wants to be a model, especially after winning a beauty contest. After many procedures she becomes one and many problems starts to occur.Movie is directed well with lots of effort from the cast and the crew. Costumes are all nice showing the present day fashion. Priyanka Chopra surprisingly delivered a good performance. She has taken a lot of effort for role. Kangna Ranaut's role was more challenging and she pulled it off easily. The newcomer Mugda Godse also did her part well.The songs are good and the background score is excellent. The title music of fashion is stupendous. Overall it is a good movie especially towards the end. The last one hour is the best in this film.7/10

I saw this movie yesterday and Priyanka Chopra's role as a Fashion Model was fantastic. The movie portrays the dark side of Indian Fashion Industry. Meghna Mathur (Priyanka) an ambitious girl from Chandigarh moves to Mumbai to become model, without the consent of her father. She struggles hard to become a model and faces the dark side of fashion industry. She becomes top model very soon but she becomes too much arrogant and involves in all immoral activities. Her career graph begin seeing downfall and she looses all friends and relations because of her excessive pride.The role of Kittu Gidwani and Priyanka reminds me of Meryll Streep and Anna Hathway from "Devil Wears Prada". Both movies are somewhat long and have similarities.The Cast in the movie is superb and well selected- Priyanka Chopra, Kangna Ranaut, Mugdha Godse, Arbaaz khan, Kitu Gidwani all were superb."Mar Jaava", " Aashiyana" Songs were also excellent and suits very well to theme of movie.A must see movie from (real life) film maker Madhur Bhandarkar.

Madhur Bhandarkar's all earlier films, were no doubt based on realistic themes, but with "Fashion", he dives more deep into the human psyche of ambition and greed. Unexpectedly, "Fashion" comes out to be a more emotional and psychological experience along with being hard hitting on the fashion fraternity.Everyone was expecting that "Fashion" will target the designer world and would try to reveal its hidden secrets like we had seen in "Page3". As expected everything is there in it, the casting couch, the gay world, wardrobe malfunction, women jealousy, professional rivalry, one night stand, all is in there. But "Fashion" goes beyond these commercial inserts and comes out to be a more powerful movie with some great shocks and performances. Truly speaking I was not expecting the strong philosophical and emotional angle in the second half from Madhur Bhandarkar.In business sense, "Fashion" may not be a huge successful movie as many viewers can find it too emotional, slow and preachy. It can also be said that Indian audiences are not used to this kind of cinema as in the west. Indian viewers believe in more glossy and imaginative world of movies, so I have my doubts on "Fashion" being accepted by them. But since we are all developing our tastes with World Cinema in our home TV channels, so let's hope for the best.Coming to the movie content, it has beautiful ladies with gorgeous looks, delivering best performances of their entire careers. The top most performer is the girl with the minimum scenes and dialogues in the movie but she still manages to burn the screen with her hot talent. She is "Kangna Ranaut". The Bhatt camp has a great sense of talent discovery, this is a proved fact again as Kangna was introduced by them. Kangna undoubtedly gives the best of her career after "Woh Lamhe". In one way the role is an extension of what she did in her debut movie. But here she says it with her eyes and on the ramp, she just gives shivers to all real life ramp walkers.Priyanka Chopra too scores on the performance chart and after "Aitbaar" this is her best movie till date. She is expressive, especially in the second half. The scene when she wakes up and finds a Negro sleeping next to her is mind blowing and one can just imagine the state in which a girl would be after experiencing that unwanted tragedy. We see her best when she loses his confidence and freezes on the ramp and also in the scene when she is given the news about Kangna just before she is going to step on to the ramp. Another actress who wins your heart is Mugdha Godse, as Priyanka's close friend who introduces her to the city and its lifestyle. She really acts and acts well. A great find by Madhur, who once again proves that models can be actors.All others in the supporting cast have also contributed their best. Arbaaz Khan however seems to be stiff. Suchitra Pillai, Harsh Chhaya, Samir Soni and Kittu Gidwani get full marks. Raj Babbar and Kiran Juneja don't do anything new as Priyanka's parents. But one more performer stays in your mind, and he is the bald gay friend of Priyanka, who later also takes her back in his show with open arms. You must have seen him in many TV comedy shows. He gives a superb performance and his contribution must not be forgotten under the shadow of big names.Musically, the film has one great song, "Fashion Ka Hai Yeh Jalwa", which should have been used as the theme music with repeated play at times in the background. But Madhur, opts using it only once in the ramp show. No other song was needed anywhere in the narration.Now, onto some weak points I felt needed attention. First in a movie called "Fashion" there are no major talks, discussions or display of designer clothes. Instead there are more talks of advertising agencies and their top models. There are only indications to the rivalry in fashion designers but the story revolves more around the models and their agencies. Secondly, its hard to digest that a small time girl coming to Mumbai, bags the supermodel tag with only minor struggle in the city and manages to meet the right persons with luck. And lastly, post interval, the movie becomes a bit lengthy and heavy which leads to loss of interest.Madhur did his extensive research before writing the script and he adds all the real life incidents in the story innovatively. It's really impressive how he uses the wardrobe malfunction and the mentally disabled Delhi model references in the movie with dignity. But it's not all glossy, shining and fashion all the way. The long awaited movie has its moments to enjoy but at the same time it is also slow and dragging in its last hour.So if you want to see a sensitive movie along with entertainment, then "Fashion" is a must watch, but I think instead of "Fashion", it should have been titled "Models".
