Silk Smitha aka Vidya in the film came really long way from her struggling days. Making her debut in the TV serial "Hum Paanch", Vidya's bold and seductive avatar is a complete shocker. Vidya's sizzling show and dare bare act doesn't make her character vulgar or tasteless. She is among the significant reasons why anyone would watch this film. Sometimes, while watching the movie, you wonder why you will find Vidya-less scenes in this movie. She's dared to wear no makeup in the next half the movie, that is very rarely noticed in Bollywood movies. She even placed on weight because of this role in the movie. The clothes she wore is a reflection of times she is going through. Naseeruddin Shah who has been cast being an aged south superstar without any doubt provides flawless performance. Emraan Hashmi too stands apart as a headstrong, hot blooded, rebellious director. Tusshar also plays his part decently well. Overall, The Dirty Picture holds true shocker of the year that's on top of sex values. Portrayal of a regular person rise from scratch to extraordinary high and her subsequent fall has potential to set the bucks register bringing.
