Priyanka imitates Vidya Balan

Priyanka Chopra known for her funny imitation of actors didn't spare Vidya Balan this time around.

Priyanka Chopra is one funny mimic. We liked the way PC imitated Kareena Kapoor's act from Golmaal, Shah Rukh Khan's from My Name is Khan and Salman's from Dabangg in an award show last year.

Priyanka ensured she was as entertaining a presenter for the 'Best Film' category as the famous spoof players Riteish Deshmukh and Boman Irani.

This year for the same award function, Priyanka has apparently aped none other than Vidya Balan!

Onlookers informed, "Priyanka and Shah Rukh posed as Vidya and Naseeruddin Shah from Dirty Picture. Vidya wore the same pink outfit of Vidya's from oo la la and danced just like her. What made everyone laugh was Priyanka's overnight weight gain! She stuffed herself to look fat on stage, like Silk Smitha!"

Spoofing nominees is not a new trend. Saif and Shah Rukh started it. Ranbir and Imran have done the same for Filmfare.

Wonder how will Vidya's fans react to this act of Priyanka's though!

‘The Dirty Picture’ Review

Milan Luthria’s ‘The Dirty Picture’ is a glittering piece of cinema which recounts the life of Silk Smitha, the reigning sex siren of the 80s South Indian film industry. Starring Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah, Emraan Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor, ‘The Dirty Picture’ is the story of Reshma (Vidya), a starry-eyed, small-town girl who wants to make it big in Southern films but comes across frequent rejections until she lands up the role of an item girl, which transforms her from Reshma into Silk - a sex symbol with overnight stardom.

Alas, despite all the fame and adulation, Silk lives a turbulent life of fickle relationships and fleeting fame. The film dwells deep into the psyche of the matinee idol whose single look would make men skip a heartbeat. Back in the 80s, Silk was a stark contrast to the prudish times where her sexual overtures were hard to beat. No doubt she was the symbol of titillation and gratification, of what all men desired but did not accept it openly. While filmmakers like Abraham (Emraan) loath at the very sight of Silk, actors like Suryakant (Naseeruddin Shah) pine for her oozing sensuality. Yet, despite her raging success, the personal life of Silk is ridden with contradictions. If Suryakant fails to acknowledge his relationship with Silk, Ramakant (Tusshar) too disappoints her; as a result, Silk starts losing interest in love and her career is jeopardised. Ironically, when Silk is at the lowest ebb of her life, the only person who sticks around her is the man who hated her the most – Abraham.


In ‘The Dirty Picture’, Vidya Balan is down and dirty and delivers a power packed performance. Naseeruddin Shah plays a southern superstar with flawless ease and displays a solid persona. Emraan Hashmi looks good.

Kudos to Rajat Arora for his brisk screenplay that never loses its sight from the storyline and characterization. A Brilliant direction by Milan, ‘The Dirty Picture’ is awesome first half, though a bit dragged in second half but Vidya Balan’s powerful performance truly compensates.

The film has nice mix of South Indian music with Bollywood sounds. ‘Ooh la la la ’ and ‘Ishq Sufiyana’ is already topping the charts.
