How Vidya Balan made black comedy Ghanchakkar a colourful ride. On Monday Masala

Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi’s 2013 film Ghanchakkar completes eight years today. We see how Vidya’s quirky character and bizarre wardrobe made her stand out in the film, despite playing second fiddle to Emraan.

Put Vidya Balan in any film and she steals the show, even if she is not the driving force of the story. The actress demonstrated the same in Ghanchakkar in 2013. It was a through-and-through Emraan Hashmi film. Yet, Vidya’s antics and eccentric wardrobe became the film’s highlight. Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, Ghanchakkar turns eight today, June 28. In this week’s Monday Masala, we trace how Vidya Balan was at her quirkiest best in the dark comedy.
