Fashion

Fashion (2008) is Madhur Bhandarkar's Hindi drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Meghna Mathur leaves her hometown of Chandigarh for Mumbai chasing a single dream: not just to model, but to become the country's number-one face on the runway.

At first it plays out like a fairy tale of contracts, magazine covers and applause. Behind the glamour, though, the industry hides another face entirely — backstage politics, a hunger for approval, drugs, and patrons with strings attached. The higher Meghna climbs, the steeper the cost of each step, until the day she loses almost everything she built.

Bhandarkar isn't selling a glossy fantasy here; he's filming a near-documentary look at the business across a full 167 minutes about the price of ambition. Priyanka Chopra won India's National Film Award for the lead, while Kangana Ranaut, as a supermodel coming apart at the seams, may stay with you even longer. Stream Fashion (2008) online on iFILM.
