Review
Story
Artists Performance:
Vidya is a girl who follows her dreams and her dream is to become an actress. For that, she is willing to defy any norm. She also has a favourite in the form of superstar Naseeruddin Shah. After the initial weeks of struggle, she finally manages a small dance stint for a song. This falls in the eye of the noted producer Rajesh and he christens her as Silk. In no time, Silk also gets a chance to work with her favorite super star and she also becomes his bed partner for more opportunities and growth. During her journey, she comes across the innocent Tusshar, the talented director Emraan who hates her to the core.
However, what starts as a journey of dreams, success, entertainment and stardom for Silk soon reveals another side to it. What happens in between forms the rest of the story.
Technical Departments:
Vidya Balan is outstanding. Right from the rustic girl to a sex bomb to a woman who loses it all, she has shown her versatility to the fullest and carries the film exceedingly well.
Naseeruddin Shah must be saluted. Despite his real life stardom and iconic status, he simply mixed into the script and gave space. His performance was simply superb.
Emraan Hashmi is not a star just like that. There is an uncanny magic about him that makes the audience glued to the screen when he is there. He was good in his role.
Tusshar Kapoor was effective and he does full justice to his bit. Rajesh Sharma was excellent, Anju Mahendroo was apt, Imran Hasnee was neat, Mangal Kenkre was moderate. The others did their bit as required and added value.
Highlights:
* Vidya Balan & Naseeruddin Shah’s performances
* Dialogues
* Cinematography
* Screenplay
* Background score and two songs
Drawbacks:
* Slight drag during second half
* Low emotional voltage in few scenes
Final Analysis:
Though it is a Hindi film, the fact that it has been strongly inspired from the life of Silk Smitha makes it an exciting product for the south audience. The dubbed version’s release is a good convenience. The director ensured that the film flows with smooth precision and no controversies can be raised. The real life for the film comes from the dialogues.
Equally good are few scenes where the peaks are at their best. Of course, with the kind of talented cast the director has got, this was expected. The scenes to look out for are
When Vidya Balan receives an award and addresses the crowds with her thank you speech
When Emraan Hashmi talks to Vidya about his feelings and how they relate to her
When Naseeruddin Shah’s wife walks in while he is making love to Vidya
Overall, this is a film which has a strong dose of reality and a message to the many aspiring girls who are obsessed with stardom. In real life, Silk Smitha stood as an example for glory and the other side of it. This is delivered in the right package through the film. Given the budget involved and the content, there is no doubt that the film will become a commercial hit.
