The Dirty Picture is nearly flawless and a very raunchy entertainer. Vidya Balan being the heart of the movie, as depicted by the posters, is pushing the lecherousness quotient of the movie to the extreme limits. Even her dialogues are at the height vulgarness.
Besides Vidya Balan, everything else in the movie is also near to perfection. I am quite sure that the critics will be leaving the auditoriums without much criticism.

Everything is a highlight of the movie. Still I would like to detail those highlights as follows:
1. Performances - Vidya Balan is simply awesome and is very well supported by Naseeruddin Shah, Emran Hashmi and Tusshar Kapoor. Even the performers with the smallest of the roles have done their best.
2. Cinematography - It is the second best thing you will notice about the movie. I agree that Bobby Singh’s work was not very hard, but the outcome is simply amazing. The close ups, the stills and the scenes which will make you bet that they are shot by a handheld camera.
3. Editing - I have never liked the black screens during the movie, but Akiv Ali showed me what all a back screen can do. It is used 4 to 5 times and each time to a great effect. May it be using the background voices or just for the fun of delaying the next scene, but again the outcome is pretty lovable.
4. Background score - It has done what it was supposed to do. Filled the long gaps between dialogs, depicted the seriousness of the scene and even added the fun flavor to some scenes. Even a pathetic spectator can decide his emotions towards the scene per the background score.
5. Costume design - Even if Vidya Balan did leave some voids in playing Silk, then those voids are covered by her wardrobe. Most of the male audience will be watching her with their eyes about to pop out and their jaws dropping to the floor. Most of female audience will be hoping to get their hands on all of them and just observe their lovers’s expressions, when they wear those for them.
Despite Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah looked exactly like the superstar of 80s, with his wardrobe full of flashy shirts and tight pants. And Tusshar Kapoor looks like he has mistaken his dad’s (Jeetendra’s) wardrobe for his own, seriously.
6. Art direction/Set decoration - This department had a pretty tough task to perform and they have done an amazingly remarkable job performing it. The sets are really giving you the feel that you are watching some good 80s movie.
7. Story/Screenplay - The dialogs are brilliant. They are one of the most entertaining parts of the movie. The audience loved them so much, that some were even clapping on a few dialogs.
Although, the story is moving at a steady pace from beginning to the end, but the screenplay kept the movie alive for almost 3 quarters. The final quarter gets a bit boring as it is deprived of the obsceneness, both audio and visual, but the ending is pretty convincing. It might not be to some audience, but to me it is.
8. Direction - Last but not the least, the ring master of the circus. Milan Luthria has done an outstanding job. Each and everything is so near to perfection that it seems like he used retake the scene even if a single leaf must have been blowing without his consent. Too good.
There are no lowlights in the movie. Overall, it is a great entertainer. In Silk’s words “log picture sirf 3 reasons ke liye dekhne aate hain ‘Entertainment’, ‘Entertainment’ and ‘Entertainment’, aur main Entertainment hoon” (I might not be word to word correct). Hence, I rate it as follows:
Entertainment rating: 4
Critics rating: 4.5
