The Dirty Picture is poised to take an excellent opening this Friday and not just in single screens but also in the city multiplexes. All credit to the sizzling promos and the super hit song, Ooh La La. The fact that the film is supposedly based on the life of the South siren, Silk Smitha, has also added to the buzz.
Vidya Balan, Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah and Tusshar Kapoor.
Imagine a nobody who became an extra and then the most wanted heroine of the early 80s. Chronicling the meteoric rise and steep fall of the erstwhile screen sensation, The Dirty Picture is set against the colourful and entertaining backdrop of the fierce male-dominated South-Indian film industry of the 80s. The quintessential siren, Silk (Vidya Balan), knew her audiences, and it didn’t seem like anything would stop the ambitious starlet, till it did, in the form of unrequited love. To the world, she was the queen of sensuality. But at heart, she was just another woman yearning for love in a ruthless world.
