bajirao mastani
the string of poorly received films ended when chopra starred in madhur bhandarkar's "fashion", a drama about the indian fashion industry which followed the lives and careers of several fashion models. she portrayed the ambitious supermodel meghna mathur, a role which she initially thought was out of her depth, but after six months' consideration she accepted the role, inspired by bhandarkar's confidence in her. for the role, chopra had to gain and steadily shed the weight during the production as the character progressed in the film. both the film and her performance received critical acclaim, becoming a major turning point in her career. rajeev masand wrote, "priyanka chopra turns in a respectable performance, one that will inevitably go down as her best." for her performance, she won several awards, including the national film award for best actress, the filmfare award for best actress, the iifa award for best actress, the screen award for best actress, the stardust award for actor of the year - female (with dostana) and the producers guild film award for best actress in a leading role. with a worldwide revenue of , "fashion" emerged as a commercial success, and was listed by subhash k. jha as one of the best films of the decade with women protagonists. it was noted for being commercially successful despite being a women-centric film with no male lead. she said in retrospect, "i think actually "fashion" kick started ... the process of female dominated films. today you have so many other films which have done well with female leads."
