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

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.

If merely her glimpse can

arouse the crowd to this extent...

imagine what will happen if

she danced to an entire song!

Get her.

But sir, I don't know who

she is or where she came from.

Well then, find out.

I'm sure someone knows.

If she is present in the song, surely

she hasn't appeared out of thin air.

Find her!

Yes, sir.

This girl will be my

biggest discovery.

Who is it?

What is it?

G... G... G...

G... G... what? Who are you?

I... I... I...

What do you want?

Money!

What's this?

That's one less than hundred.

Why?

I bought this for one rupee.

Are you high?

Should I bring you back to reality?

Forgot everything?

Film... I saw your film.

Ever since then

I've been saving up for you.

You are lying!

I haven't acted in any film.

Go away from here...

get lost!

The middle word in life is... 'if'.

The big 'if'!

If only that bastard Selva Ganesh

had spent five more minutes...

...in the bathroom...

if only he had driven 5 kmph slower...

everybody's life would

have remained the same.

But no.

He was eager to screw me and how!

Even sitting on a

couch didn't feel safe.

The sun arose that morning

to shine bright on Reshma...

and to burn me to ashes.

Baby, should I call for more?

Enough, Amma.

Baby, all the people who've had

breakfast with me in the past...

today enjoy dinner at 5-star hotels.

Join hands with me and the world

will praise you with hands joined.

Have some more... keep eating.

And you will be the best.

I can see it, you have that...

desire.

Silk!

Today onwards your name is Silk.

And your name is Mr. Worm.

What?

Silk is created by worms.

Baby, whether I'm

Selva Ganesh or Mr. Worm...

but all I am is an

opportunity for you.

And this opportunity

won't come by again...

it will only go to someone else.

Okay, sir...

music...

One, two, three, four...

Silk, no heat...

no heat!

We want to titillate the public...

not put them to sleep.

And sir, extraordinary shot.

Sir, extraordinary...

but one more, sir, please.

Cut it!

Silk, what are you doing?

Imagine Surya sir is

a log of sandalwood.

And you are a serpent...

wrap yourself around him.

And Surya sir, very good shot.

But she's a newcomer, sir.

One more shot, sir, please.

George...

Surya gives only one take. That's it.

Here I am...

Sir, please, sir...

A day with Surya is worth

a hundred thousand rupees!

Understand?

A good looking fruit

isn't always sweet!

Set up my solo shot.

Hey you...

come here.

What's your name?

Reshma...

Silk.

Two names to go by and you

can't do one silly step.

See this...

plastic cover?

Whether it's there or not...

it makes no

difference to the cigarette.

Similarly...

whether you are in this film or not...

it makes no difference to anyone.

You know something...

if there's no cover and it rains...

the cigarette won't even light up.

Pack up!

Heroine says that it's going to rain.

I've been hit by a

shoe because of you.

But I won't let it happen again.

You made Surya sir very angry.

You go!

And don't ever come back.

What are you doing in here?

I'm here to get tuned, and

then we can make some music.

You switched your

melody pretty quickly.

It's your personality, sir.

I've been admiring you

since I was a little girl.

I was scared to be next to you.

Now that's believable.

If God puts in an appearance...

the devotee is bound to be scared.

Sir, please give me another chance.

Why should I?

I'll be devoted to you.

I'll do anything you want me to.

Don't you read the magazines?

The magazines say that...

I've tuned 500 girls.

But have you ever

tuned one girl 500 times?

- Is it true about the 500... - No...

Sir, Surya won't act with her.

Sir, there they come.

I guess Surya sir is all charged up.

Suryakant may die but he

won't let go of a new girl.

Cut...

What?

She's doing it all wrong again,

she missed a beat.

To hell with the beat,

look at that heat...

she'll set everyone on fire.

Extraordinary, sir, very good, sir.

Mind-blowing, sir,

very good shot, sir.

Madam...

ticket please.

That's your seat, sit there.

How does it matter?

This place is empty.

I don't want problems later.

Go and sit according to your ticket.

Mother...

congratulate me.

Your son has stood first in college.

Bless you, my dear.

You've fulfilled all my wishes.

If only your dad were alive today...

Cut it!

Very good shot, Surya sir.

Excellent shot.

Just like a young boy.

That was... that was very good.

You are very convincing as my mother.

Naylaji!

What a pleasure, what brings you here?

Last month's

magazine hasn't sold well?

Probably because you

didn't grace the cover!

So what's brewing... under cover?

This is new!

Lalitha was the heroine in your

last film and both of you were hot.

And now she is playing your mother?

You see...

youth is meant to be tasted...

not wasted!

A heroine's life...

is like an elected government.

The party lasts for five years...

after that it's there for support.

Sometimes left... sometimes right...

and sometimes even centre!

I've heard that new girl, Silk, is a

passionate supporter of your party.

Everybody is talking about her.

Of course, I gave her a break.

She is very talented.

When God has blessed

her so abundantly...

there's no harm in

taking a piece of the pie.

Right?

You know me...

I believe the more I can be of

help to others, the better it is.

But she is a quite down market.

You write up on her was perfect.

Well, I have to, Surya sir.

To portray men as saints...

women have to be depicted as demons.

Sir, madam is here.

Yes.

See you later.

What about my interview?

We'll do it later.

This is important.

Quick, some filter coffee for madam.

Is Silk here?

The cinema hall was filled with men...

every one of them only to see me.

And as soon as the

song was over, they left.

It was amazing.

Don't be so excited.

Take a look at what
