Fabulous!
This movie is about the fashion and modeling industry where some models descend into despair with alcohol and drugs - a story that has been told many times before (but not as well) by Hollywood (not saying it's a remake). One model falls completely to the bottom of the well of despair while another one falls only half way down and tries to help her up too. This is a quality film and easy to give a 5 but it does not have all the usual attributes that cause me to buy Indian films.If you are looking for an Indian film that is funny and full of songs and dancing with some over acting thrown in here and there, (one of the reasons why I buy Indian films) then maybe this film is not for you. That said, the music and background vocals are the best I've heard in this type of film. Models model clothes that look like they could actually be worn on this planet and real top models (by anyone's standards) model and act in this film.So many actors do such a good job in this film that it is hard to single out anyone. Priyanka Chopra is an absolute goddess of beauty and her acting (in this film) is right up there with the best. Kangana Ranaut (a young actress playing Shonali, (the top model) is brilliant in a tough roll. Mugdha Gogse (a real model who acts in the film) plays a wonderfully light hearted but mentally strong woman who is unaffected by the down side of the modeling industry. The male stars playing gay designers are, in a word, fabulous (they walk the edge without being too much). As in real life, there are 2 groups of people - those who use people and throw them away and those who help people while risking themselves. This is what makes the bittersweet ending so gratifying.

A Great Film
The movie Fashion was very "at the edge of your seat" type of film. Although it was very long, I was still entertained the whole time. The film is about a small town girl Meghna Mathur(Priyanka Chopra)trying to pursue her dream as a supermodel. Meghna's longing ambition and drive for success makes her unreasonable. On her way up the latter of success she encounters a new side of her. This side does not only show her arrogance(Forgetting those who care for her, Affairs, Drinking, Drugs, not showing up for work, etc) it shows her way down the latter. You will be asking whats next.It is worth the buying, the songs will get stuck in your head.

The (IMHO) most beautiful woman on the planet in almost every shot? Well lit, well dressed, and done up? Giving a performance that'll have you hope she'll do a Hollywood movie soon? That's 'Fashion'!This one's MANDATORY for Priyanka Chopra fans.You'll fall in love with the characters and the story. There aren't any cheesy song and dance numbers, which are typical for Bollywood movies. Despite its run time, Fashion has a great pace and there isn't a boring minute.The acting in general is more Bollywood than Hollywood, meaning some overacting and not always entirely believable to many US audiences. You'll see what I mean when you watch Fashion. Which you should. Because it's awesome.

poor quality dvd
Unfortunately the DVD was of very bad quality. No subtitles available and after 15 minutes the whole movie stopped. Within the very short time we were able to enjoy the movie the dvd stopped itself.

One of the best movies ever
By far Priyanka's best role, and Kangana's performance was superb, really good film with a great storyline. Not your typical bolywood film, it is far better and really worth watching. Good enough to watch over & over.
