The best vamps are unforgettable in their signature swagger and style.
#HAY RE MERA GHAGRA SONG SKIN#
Once it was a way of distinguishing women who showed their skin and consequently never married the hero. The “item girl" is a superficially evolved vamp. In the recent film Shootout at Wadala, directed by Sanjay Gupta, there are three item songs, one of them with Chopra.

By agreeing to do item numbers, our actresses validate its appeal. They could do with a Priyanka Chopra or a Madhuri Dixit or just any leggy model from any country in the world. It is a way to amass audiences beyond the multiplex-to throw in a raunchy, objectifiable female element that attracts the whistles. For the producer (and director), the item song is not an aesthetic or plot device. What Ghagra does best is reaffirm the importance of the item song in the insecure life of a Bombay cinema actress. Going by the slight effort that has gone into it, the producer and director don’t seem convinced enough by any of these reasons. Why did the producer and the film-maker include this song? Either as a statement, having the diva of Bollywood do an item number for your movie, or as a way of reaching the mass audience, beyond the film’s core audience-the multiplex-goers of metros and A-towns. It has great music, slick production details, beautiful costumes and lavish sets besides charismatic performances. This is a film driven by popular stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Madhuri’s diaphanous dupattas change from one colour to another, the ghagras closely resembling those on mannequins in the hoi polloi fashion shops of Dadar.ĭespite the nonchalance of the makers, Madhuri looks gorgeous her grace can’t hide behind the ugliness of the production. Farah Khan’s choreography is without any flair. Background dancers overpopulate the frames. In the hyper-glossy, hyper-energetic scheme of Ayan Mukerji’s movie, this song is a lazy and hideous afterthought.
