Preity Princess

I liked Jaan-e-Mann, but some of Preity's clothes need our attention.


What era is this supposed to be evoking? It's a flashback to the character's college days, so if we assume they're 30ish, that would put us at the mid- to late-1990s. The gothic font trucker cap and princess lingo say 2002, but the torn jeans are more 1993 and the stacks of plastic bracelets remind me of 1984. And the hair beads? No clue.

Whatever the era, the look is clearly, you know, bad-ass. Maybe the whole thing is supposed to be mockable. It definitely is when Anupam wears it.

Also, the white shoes make me itch, even if she is just an extra with a scrunchie.

So Much FUG!

As I've said before, we aim to please. Maya, this post is for you.

Worst-Dressed at 2007 Filmfares?

At Ugly, Ugly, Bollywood Fugly Fugly, we often don't document celebrities "in the wild," but this past weekend's Filmfare Awards gives us a few gems we just can't pass up:







And again, what's with the unfortunate costumes on the backup talent?

fugged on trailers alone: Khullam Khulla Pyaar Karen

I haven't seen this and I don't think I'm going to. According to imdb, this came out in 2005 - 2005 - but surely it was made ages earlier and for whatever reason was released later. Anyhoo. I just popped in Disco Dancer but got sidetracked by the delights in this trailer.


I don't like vests. With straw hats, even worse. Poor Preity. Govinda is maybe wearing snow pants at Niagara Falls in the summer (and despite popular opinion, Canada is not in fact freezing all the time, especially in summer).


Patterns can be mixed, but not like this. And again, poor Preity, they put her in a short-sleeved hoodie, which is mainly just stupid rather than interestingly bad.


Sometimes recoiling in confusion is really the only possible response.

There are plenty more where this came from, but Mithun beckons (and these are too pixely to do the thing justice).
