No Malfunction in Fashion

During the 2006 Lakme India Fashion week Carol Gracias’ halter top fell off exposing her breasts, while she was sashaying down the ramp. This minor malfunction caused a huge furore and inspired Madhur Bhandarkar to make a movie based on the lives of Indian supermodels namelyCarol Gracias, Shivani Kapoor and Alecia Raut.

The most talked about single scene in this movie might just not make it to the big screen. Yes, we’re talking about Kangana Ranaut recreating Carol Gracias’ loss of clothing while walking the ramp in Madhur Bhandarkar’sFashion.

Kangana donned a body suit for filming this crucial scene and seemed comfortable enough for it to be part of the movie but now editors have decided to blur the scene and only her back will now be visible. The focus they say will be on Kangana’s face and the expression of horror when her top falls off.

The decision came about as the unit was wary of the Censor’s scissors and hurting the Indian sensibilities. Of course when the actual incident took place every news channel played the footage of Carol’s top falling off a million times and nobody was worried about hurting Indian sensibilities…

So this looks like another grand case of publicity stunts and the downside being that  we will now have to rely on Kangana’s acting expertise to pull off a wardrobe malfunction with just the expressions on her face. This sounds like a complete case of cinematic malfunction Madhur!
