The Dirty Picture | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

yash b There are a handful of movies in which an actor or actress completely owns every second they are on the screen and gives a performance that makes the movie worth watching. When it comes to somewhat recent Bollywood movies, Vidya Balan's lead performance in "The Dirty Picture" is one of those moments. This movie isn't perfect in terms of its storytelling as it does have a second half that isn't as well put together as the first, but I still really liked the movie because the acting was so top-notch. The movie also makes an interesting statement comparing movies that are designed to be a commercial success as opposed to movies that are a critical success. Despite the profound statements the movie tries to make, they are a bit held back because some of the supporting characters felt a bit cartoonish at times and it took me out of the movie here and there. Nonetheless, this is still a very memorable movie because Vidya Balan is just so good in it and her commitment to the role really shows throughout the movie.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member The "Movie Info" is a bit lacking. This is a really good movie. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Yeah Vidya Balan's plush acting skills can not alone save this ship fitted with a time bomb thats heading on a collision course with an ice berg. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member I am very selective when it comes to viewing Bollywood movies. This was took me by surprised. I love Vidya, she blew me away. Knowing that all she has done to make this role realistic. She was committed and sold the story based on South Indian Actress SILK. Told in typical Bollywood style, songs, dance, costumes, it is well done. Taking us back to the 80's really clinched it all. I highly recommend it!
