Madhur Bhandarkar, the undisputed king of realistic fares, comes up with yet another hard-hitting film that enlightens you, moves you, motivates and deflates you, even shocks and surprises you and of course, entertains you.

Fashion, this tells the story of one small town girl with a dream and the determination to make it a reality. Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) knew that she was meant to be famous. Ever ambitious and bright with stars in her eyes, even as a girl with a conservative background, she dared to dream of bright lights and the big city. The world of fashion - the clothes, the colors, the make-up, all of these form a part of the fascinating world that Meghna has longed to be a part of. She reaches the peak of her success and rises to walk the ramps for leading designers across India. The fashion world lies at her feet - the parties, the brand endorsements, the photographers, the models, the romance and of course - the shows, the shows, the shows!

What Madhur Bhandarkar has done extremely well with the story is how he has handled these three important characters and connected them – giving us an overall feel of the industry through their eyes. They each represent a different side of the lives of models in the fashion industry. On the one side we have Meghna - an innocent, small town girl who heads to Mumbai with nothing but confidence inside of her. As she gets to know this world of fashion, she realizes that there may be certain choices she may have to make which she normally wouldn't. What's great to see is when we do see her changing it seems very natural – almost expected, even - which really is a result of great acting and storytelling.

Mahesh Limaye's cinematography captures every aspect of the fashion industry to the fullest. The screenplay [Madhur Bhandarkar, Anuradha Tiwari, Ajay Monga] is perfect, except for the penultimate portions. Niranjan Iyengar's dialogues are fantastic. Nitin Chandrakant Desai's production design is truly upmarket. The costumes and styling are top notch, a feast for the eyes. Salim-Sulaiman's music is well synchronised as well. 'Mar Jaava' and 'Jalwa' are lilting creations.

On the Acting Front Mugdha Godse Done a Fantastic job, Arbaaz Khan is treffic surpurise in the movie he does very well. Arjun Bajwa does well, Harsh Chhaya is the role of gay Fashion designer perform extremely well his role is very natural. Ashwin Mushran, Priyanka's confidante, is top notch. Samir Soni is good.

Not just in multiplexes, the film is sure to make high wavesacross other centres too.
