Success goes before a Fall
I finally got around to watching ‘Fashion‘ yesterday, and the movie was not as bad as some reviews had led me to believe. I thought there were some good performances and some women with ambition, rarely seen in Hindi cinema. But. What’s with showing every fashion designer as gay and every gay man as lisping, simpering or waving hands around aimlessly? And, while it’s possible that a career like modelling, where top models are often in the public eye, can be stressful, could the director not have shown us atleast one model who was both successful and happy? There seemed to be an autopilot course set - struggle, make it to the top, fight with everyone who loves you, get addicted, fall off your pedestal. To the point, where it got quite predictable. Even when the lead (Priyanka Chopra) makes it at the end, there is a ‘heavy price’ to pay.
After watching Corporate, Page 3 and now Fashion, one is tempted to think that Madhur Bhandarkar doesn’t much like successful women!
