The Dirty Picture -

"movie ne sirf touch kiya, chuaa nahi. Too much of dialogue- baaji & bad use of melodrama in the second half restrained it from reaching at the level of the 8/10 movie, which i was thinking after the amazing first half. At least they should have respected the Silk, on whom life the movie is based.
But afterall it was all about entertainment, entertainment, entertainment. "
