Movie Review: Fashion; Movie star Cast: Mugdha Godse, Priyanka, Kangna, Arbaaz, Harsh Chhaya, Madhur, Karan Johar, Manish Malhotra, Neil Mukesh, Arjan Bajwa, Sameer Soni and Kitu; Director: Madhur Bhandarkar; Rating: ***1/2
Fashion begins in Chandigarh, where aspiring model Meghna Mathur (Priyanka) expresses her wish to go to Mumbai to her parents. While her dad (Raj Babbar) out rightly denies her permission, her mom (Kiran Juneja) is supportive. Against her dad’s wishes, Meghna leaves her house with dreams in her eyes to strike it big in the modeling world. But it is not a path of roses for her as she experiences some major difficulties in her initial days in Mumbai. But she gets a good helping hand with an old acquaintance, Rohit (Ashwin Mushran) an aspiring designer who assists big shot designer Rahul Arora (Sameer Soni). She keeps bumping into another struggling model, Maanav (Arjan) while making the rounds of modeling agencies for auditions. Meghna becomes good friends with Maanav and even starts sharing his apartment after she faces accommodation problems. Meghna gets noticed by India’s top modeling agency Panache’s top official, Anisha Roy (Kitu) who brings her to Panache boss, Abhijit Sareen’s (Arbaaz) notice. Abhijit gets impressed by her ambitious nature and go getter attitude. Panache’s face is Shonali (Kangana) but though very successful, her drug habit starts becoming a problem for her and subsequently for Panache. Abhijit decides to terminate Shonali’s contract and ropes in Meghna in her place. Soon, Meghna is everywhere – right from being the showstopper at the biggest fashion shows in town to fashion magazine covers to print ads to TV commercials. The overnight success spoils Meghna and the budding love relationship between her and Maanav also comes to an abrupt end. What happens after Meghna reaches the pinnacle of success in the modeling world and how her journey also invariably leads to the downfall of Shonali and what shocking things further await Meghna forms the rest of the film.
After Chandni Bar, Page 3, Corporate and Traffic Signal, Madhur has hit a master stroke with Fashion exposing the murky underbelly of the most glamorous profession in the world. Never getting preachy and avoiding stereo types Madhur efficiently handles the subject without getting judgemental even once. He has outshined himself in the technical department making Fashion is most slick product till date. His perfect casting also lifts the film to a completely different level. In fact one wouldn’t be surprised if Madhur manages to win a National Award with this film as well! Also, perhaps for the first time his climax is not dark where the protagonist ends up being a loser! The film has a bitter-sweet ending.
The screenplay by Madhur, Anuradha Tiwari and Ajay Monga peeks deep into the reality of the fashion world and touches every single aspect of the industry such as casting couch, gay designers, wild lifestyle of models who can’t handle success, backstage dramas during major fashion shows, manipulative head honchos and attitude problems of successful people. After holding the audience’s attention captive for a major portion, the screenplay tends to drag towards the finale moments. Niranjan Iyengar’s dialogues strike a chord.
Priyanka in the most challenging roles of her career, delivers the goods successfully. Kangana despite a short role ends up giving an award worthy performance. Even though it is her debut film, Mugdha Godse shows extreme confidence. Arbaaz Khan is good and so is Sameer Soni. Arjan Bajwa acts well. Kitu Gidwani is graceful whereas Ashwin Mushran is very like able.
Fashion is a must watch for many reasons so go for it and trust us you wont be disappointed.

The review which is given is a …. The movie is Bakwas. Never listen to review . Golmal is far better than fashion
*** off rajesh its very good movie.
**** you golmaal returns
A Good Film, well directed which covers the Glamorous World of Fashion which is not just a glamor at all. Its about the real life of Models & Fashion Industry. A Good Experience for those who don’t know much about Fashion Industry. I m 100 % sure that 99% of people who have watched the movie haven’t noticed the Designers like Rohit Bal & others behind these faces.
Well, its your way of watching movie, what you hv noticed or not??? So go & watch again!!!
Must watch……………
Great movie must watch….priyanka was too good especially the climax
excellent movie go ahead dont miss this one ….kangana was **** drug addict ….and priyanka was hot and gorgeous….god bless the director for a grt film !!!
Movie is must going to hell very borring movie
the movie tell about fashion world, hidden thinges and fashion industries is dominated by man.
Movie started well but pulled like an elastic towards the end. I am not quiet happy with Madhur Bhandarkar this time. Looked like issues were exaggerated to the core. Liked Kangna Ranaut. She was awesome, loved the attitude she carried. Her acting’s worth an award.
Can see it just once. I give the movie 2.5 stars out of 5.
-Thanks
Heyyy can someone give me a summary of the movie ??
Hey guys, Dont believe in these reviews . I have seen the movie yesterday 1st half was ok but 2nd half is really stretched(k-serials type) and too much predictable. I think director lost the track in 2nd half and just filled the time…..
My rating 1/5
Ok guys streched or unstretched admit it its a damn good movie, the story, the characters and roles have all been really well executed.
Ps to people who preferred golmal to this get real there aren’t many people who can deliever good stories well , comedies are just too easy.
Nice Movie loved it.
in the first half it was looking like a common story and was really bored of these same old stories but in the second half the movie was a bit good .
god knows how d movie is… but dont confuse me any more…. we’r goin 2 watch golmaal!!! and we dont have enough money 2 watch both!
movie is too good. i think that movie is batter than golmaal returns.movie is about fashion world.don’t miss this movie and go to watch it.
my ratings 4/5
movie is superhit.the movie shows the reality of fashion world. madhur bhandarkar is also win this time.don’t miss it

Wow! This is absolutely hilarious. This reviewer doesn’t even seem to know what he is talking about; makes me wonder if he has even seen the stupid movie, and not just punched in this **** from a press release that Mr Bhandarkar has given.
Throughout the movie, the director preaches like a goddamn priest and as for stereotypes, the movie is full of them. As for it being Fashion being the most slick product till date, I think Mr Reviewer needs to go wash his face and watch this movie again.
Don’t know how he would do, anyways. I couldn’t, for the life in me…
KANGNA IS ROCKING MUST WATCH TO SEE HER PERFORMANCE
Superhit Film … Go watch it
nice movie. was unable to stop my tears. i mean dis glamrous world really sucks.
priyanka rocks.
go n watch this movie. y r u wasting ur time here?
Madhur has treated the subject well but in some cases things were blown out of proportion like in Kangana’s case.Ok these things exist in the fashion world but the models do seem to enjoy their life,not like the are forced to stay in this industry.Afterall ***, money is wat people wantand the models have it all.
this film is very good
It’s an inspiring movie to watch. Worth it. It’s I guess the best stroke of Madhur. Priyanka, Mugdha, Kangna, everyone has a distinct role to play which marks a spot and will compell you to give a thought about the situations after the movie. You will find yourself related.
Watch it guys..gr8 film
movie really ROCKZZZZ…
fantastic performence of priyanka & also kangana
a great movie…….people sud watch it…………prianka nd kangna hav a great attitude……..
kangna was superb…for her performance,looks etc etc…..which puts her in seductive character really great work
awesome movie…. must watch
hey…. fashion is a movie worth watching… fantastic concept. if people go through all this in the world of fashion…. then that’s not happening…. what a thought-provoking movie… thanks to madhur bhandarkar. he’s never disappointed us… me atleast!
must watch movie… Madhur bhandrkar maks good movie no dobt on… M lukin for anothr realistic movie of mahur…
btw in movie ever1 did good jog
blah blah not interested =P
I like the director but I’m hesitant to watch this film in fear of typical bittersweet ending where everything is predictable. In my opinion, Page 3 was the best way to present a movie where ending felt natural and not forced. I prefer ending like that to this.
#EXCELLENT# MOVIE GREAT CONCEPT AND EVERYTHING WAS GREAT ACTING TRACKS EVERYTHING .I THING FASHION PART 2 SHOUD RELEASE SOON
GUIZE MUST WATH IT ……. *FASHION KA JALWA* ROCKZZZZZZZZZ
