The Dirty Picture Page #2

Synopsis: Rebellious and uninhibited Reshma lives an impoverished lifestyle with her mother, Ratnamma, in 1980s South India. She is an ardent fan of film actor, Suryakant, and her one ambition in life is to meet and act with him. She runs away to Madras, and like, hundreds of young women, lines up outside Jupiter Studios to try and get noticed. With her plain, next-door-girl looks, she gets ignored but as fate could have it she is given a chance to play a minor role after she manages to sneak into the studios. The role exploits her as a sex symbol, driving males to the cinema houses to absorb her movements and beauty. Virtually overnight she, now renamed Silk, becomes a sensation, and together with the aging superstar, Suryakant, the one she had always fantasized about, she sizzles the silver screen with her sex appeal. Suryakant's brother, Ramakant, an author, is smitten by her - so much so that he would like her to opt out of movies altogether, so that he could marry her. But the rebellious wo

My life has moved from

'pack up' to 'action'.

Now I won't let it slip away.

Hey! Shhh!

Stop talking.

What do you mean 'shhh'?

She is the heroine.

She is the heroine?

The heroine?

If she is the heroine,

can I get a refund?

Is this your song?

No.

This one?

Probably this is your song.

No...

Where is it?

Where is your song?

Miss Heroine...

heroine...

Can I at least have your autograph?

What has she done?

She's there in the whole film.

Reshma...

Madam... can I have your autograph?

People in Hollywood are

probably wondering...

...why I am wasting my talent in India.

I wish you had left for Hollywood

before putting me into a loss.

I would have been better off.

Sir, you haven't

tasted real respect yet.

Nayla has written

such a fantastic review.

Look at the wonderful

things that have been printed.

Hey... You english show-off!

I would've been happy if at

least the tickets were sold.

Sir, you wait and watch...

because of this film, you

will have a trophy in your hand.

And a begging bowl in the other.

Nowhere in the film did

the 'hero reason' come alive.

Not 'hero reason'.

It's heroism.

If you know it, why

didn't you portray it?

Sir, the thing is...

one man thrashing a dozen bad guys and

a dozen hot girls falling for one man...

doesn't click with the audience.

Real films are those that

compel the audience to think.

The audience wants to

feel something else...

and you want them to feel their mind?

Sir...

Abraham sir deleted one song.

That song would have worked wonders.

Which song?

This one... take a look.

Let me watch it.

Dear friend...

you should go to Hollywood.

We will miss you but you should go.

You robbed the film of its life!

Life?

You mean... that fatso...

I will add this song as

a special feature and...

release the film

again in smaller towns.

That will definitely

recover some money.

Abraham, what are you doing?

Abraham...

what are you doing?

What did you do that for?

You've set the positive on fire.

I still have the negative.

Mark my words, this girl

will set the screen on fire!

Hey, What are you doing?

I'm taking a picture.

You can't do that, get out!

Ticket, ticket...

Blackie!

Blackie... listen...

I want a ticket.

Not you again!

The amount you have spent

on watching this film...

would have got you the girl.

- Are you serious? - Of course!

Selva Ganesh has

proved once again that...

he will go to any

length to make money.

This is not a film,

it's a volley of abuses.

This is the respect that I like.

The more these critics pan my film,

the more my film will earn for me.

Well done, Vimal. Good job.

Thank you, sir.

I want this girl.
