Rating: Okay

I had an opportunity to watch the movie, last week. As the name itself suggests the movie is about the Fashion Industry. Priyanka Chopra plays the character of a middle class girl with the determination to become a Super model.

We see the fashion industry through the story of Meghna Mathur (Priyanka). The plot was good but the presentation was not. Perhaps the director had lots of information gathered and wanted to push in everything. At places it was too dragging while at others, confusing. Probably the film meant to show the hardships and not-so glamorous activities in the glamour world. But her foray into the fashion industry didnt seem to difficult. Whatever hindrances came, it all went off the way soon, never giving her a chance to wander. The only time she is far from the industry is when she leaves everything behind and goes off to her parents. But even when she comes back after a gap of around an year, her entry is too smooth, except for the freezing on the ramp part.

The performance of Kangana was superb. She had given a good performance and perhaps her character was more believing. One more thing - the director gives us a notion that the industry is full of gays.

No offense meant to anyone, but seriously, I expected something more better!
