5. Fashion
The conviction with which Madhur Bhandarkar makes his films is absolutely unbelievable. We’ve heard of actors making a brand for themselves with audiences, but rarely is a director able to create a brand for himself. When audiences walk into a Bhandarkar film, they know they are not usually in for a regular filmy fare and that something hard-hitting awaits them. Fashion is one of Bhandarkar’s best films (and most expensive!) because he has been able to take a very superficial industry and give it depth. Through it’s excellently written characters, Fashion is another film that keeps you glued even if it’s running time is quite long. The attitude, fire and flair that a film like this needs is all there, but coupled with a great story Fashion makes for great viewing.
