Fashion -- A must watch

MOVIE: Fashion
Cast: Arbaaz Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut,
Director: Madhur Bhandarkar
Review by: R Aishwarya

Here is a "stop and think twice" warning for those who are desperate to make their way into the glam world. Fashion captures the journey (Up the ladder, down the ladder and the comeback) of an ambitious Meghna Mathur (Priyanka Chopra) pursuing her dream of becoming a "super model". She achieves it by replacing the reigning show stopper (Kangana Ranaut) only to realise that it isn’t rosy at the top.

Elsewhere the not so successful model (Mugda Godse) opts to play safe by entering the institution of marriage, prioritising personal life over her career. Of the two (Priyanka and Mugda) who made a better choice of their order of priorities is for us to watch the movie and decide!

The screenplay revolves around the success story of Meghna. Initially success is bliss; slow it begins to take its toll; and to make things worse for her, she is too naive to realise that people around her are not as nice as they appear to be. By the time the realization dawns it’s sort of too late.

Priyanka is at her best in the movie. Kangana is as impressive as ever. Arbaaz Khan(who runs a top notch fashion brand) and Arjan Bajwa (yet another model who has made his debut in the film)come in at the right places to create the necessary twists in the story.Sulaiman's good music adds value to the film.

The bottom line is: if one takes a stock of success vis -a -vis what one has lost in the bargain, and if the latter is overwhelming, is it really worth it? "Fashion "is a must watch.
