Fashion- a review

Attitude, style, gay designers, limelight & above all being on the top is what Fashion all about.

Tall models ramping on the stage with the only expression of confidence trying to make a difference was all that was portrayed in Madhur Bhandarkar’s recent off the track release ‘Fashion’.

Model Geetanjali Nagpal’s story was reconstructed on actress Kangna Ranawat, which needs no words to describe in terms of acting. She performed as if the role was completely meant for her.

Main lead Priyanka Chopra because of her “goody” actress image wouldn’t have suited the character as much, but her acting skills proved the myth wrong. As per Mr. Bhandarkar’s inside out of the Fashion world, the story seems to be very much obvious in every industry but the platform, music, faces, glitz made it simply larger than life.

The charm of the movie could be only experienced on the silver screen because of its constructed showbiz. The page3 faces, designer wears, parties gave it a complete original look.

The story of a small town girl was very well taken care of, along with other stories going hand in hand which showcased the up’s & down’s in one’s life, filled in with all sorts of emotions which consisted of love, betrayal, competence, jealousy etc. providing a complete entertainment.

Overall, the sync of sound with cinematography, dresses on models, blank emotionless faces were well portaryed. All this captured every aspect of the fashion industry.

Bhandarkar style was portrayed to the best, apart from the film industry business, the coming up fashion week hopefully will witness a hike too.

The Hero Makers!

It was 31st of October, known as peace day, but unfortunately nothing what can be called peace was seen as news headlines.

With an initial protest against North Indians in the starting of the year, leading to a man loosing his life, The Raj Thackrey episode completely shattered my mind, for the story of publicity was no more let it go types.

Having an option of Delhi & Mumbai as two metros to move out for studies, my parents were too keen to opt for Mumbai amongst the two, & the reason being, ‘it’s a safe city’. After shifting their, it was nearly every alternate day, that they use to call me, for there’s news flashing on television. MNS (Maharastra Navnirmaan Sena) members burning postures , hitting Taxi’s and the never ending dadagiri.
Though it never affected me, because generally it’s under poverty line people, who cannot afford to hit back & can just take it with no options in hand.

I never wasted my time thinking about the various publicity stunts that captured the daily front headlines, but media was the main ingredient to make Raj Thackrey, The Raj Thackrey, whose image was portrayed not less than of that of the Prime Minister, may that be in terms of his security or the way everything gets hindered with the slightest disturbance in his policies.

Actually a handsome personality is all what is required to just hit the chords of the target audience & rest can be taken care of gradually. An aggressive leader is the demand of the day that is what even forced the Jet employees to approach a person like him.

Agenda setting is in the hand of the story makers or the story tellers, and unfortunately the masses are in the no option zone. Young Politician like Rahul Gandhi on the screening of blockbusters like Om Shanti Om or Rock on, doest makes it that big; But Raj Thackrey definitely makes an extra large difference for the same situation, which can be indeed captured for an hour’s news feature.

I still remember Salmaan Khan being in limelight for quite a sometime for his wrong deeds, but a bit bad & some better is enough for a clean chit, to play with the usual diehard emotional audience.
And so, no wonder a zero today can be a hero tomorrow, all blessed by the bios communicators.
