Sara Ali Khan’s dramatic entry in the first few minutes of Netflix’s latest film Murder Mubarak is reason enough for everyone’s eyes to stray towards her. As Bambi ‘vidhwa’ Todi, she takes a tumble and mutters a ‘F**k’ under her breath before sheepishly grinning at everyone. However, what also caught the audience’s attention and approval is her on-point dressing for the film.
Speaking about her character Bambi Todi, Khan had said in an interview, “It's been some time since I portrayed an urban and glamorous character. It's not my usual style. I'm more inclined to keeping my hair casual and wearing traditional attire like a salwar kameez.” Indeed, in many of her films, including Kedarnath, Atrangi Re and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Khan has mostly been seen in traditional attire. Even off-screen, the actress is mostly seen in salwar-kameez and prefers going makeup-less.
In the murder mystery which sees her in the esteemed company of actors such as Pankaj Tripathi, Vijay Varma, Dimple Kapadia, Sanjay Kapoor and Tisca Chopra, among others, her sequinned dress in shades of green, pink and gold in the entry scene show off her toned midriff and makes her stand out amidst the sea of well-dressed upper-class Delhi ladies at The Royal Delhi Club’s tambola night.
In another sequence from her wedding anniversary party, she appears in a figure-hugging shimmery gold dress and bold red lipstick. Her choice of colours for her gym-wear and swimwear too comprises neon greens, oranges and bright pinks. For the most, in Murder Mubarak, Sara Ali Khan's character Bambi Todi dresses in semi-formal blazer pants, short dresses and skirts, accessorizing them with bracelets, rings and neck-chains.
In an interview with Vogue last year, the actress who has her next film, Ae Watan Mere Watan, coming up for release on Amazon Prime Video, had mentioned that she wears her honesty with more pride than any designer clothes. “In fact, I don’t have a single pair of designer clothing in my wardrobe. I know people initially judged me for it but I’m happy that they can now not only appreciate but also identify with me because of these very reasons.”
