Vidya Balan's Variety

I thought she was stunning in Parineeta. Then came the mature and gritty Ishqiya. "No one Killed Jessica" was interesting but this would be worth watching, if only to see how Vidya etches the role of a sexy star in South Indian movies. I believe the movie is based on the life of the late siren of South Indian movies, "Silk Smitha".
