In Fashion, Priyanka Chopra plays Meghna Mathur who dreams of becoming a super model. Fashion could have been better researched and better documented, it is only the performances which save the day in lack luster movie-Fashion. Fashion does not quite live up to the hype.

It might have been that [...]
