Here’s an uncharacteristic (for me) Short review of The Dirty Picture: 
certainly brings alive the Silk Smitha days, Vidya Balan’s got an awesome role for herself and she does well (like she did in Ishqiya), certainly there’s a lot of oomph, story could have had some more depth (post interval, story meanders), awesome dialogs right through. Works reasonably well overall, because as the movie itself says, it’s all about Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment. Story no matter! One thing that intrigues me though: a lot of (80’s style, landline) telephone dialing is shown. And the phones connect each time. On first attempt. No.. that wasn’t how it was, in the 80s, was it?? 🙂
P.S.: I could have used another (bolder) image here, but I am not about to use Silk to ‘sell my blog’.. lol.

At the peak of her career..Films that had lain in cans for years were sold by the simple addition of a Silk Smitha song. TheDirtyPicture
