Bollywood fashion is best restricted to films. Ashish Shakya checks out the D:2 collection and explains why...

If you're a Bollywood fan, and spent your life savings on Thakur's shawl from Sholay, then you might wanna go a step up and check out the Dhoom 2 collection by Pepe. Although with some of the clothes on sale, we think you're better off wearing Thakur's shawl. Like for instance this brown leather hole-ridden vest worn by Uday Chopra. Wear it only if you want to look like Uday, and then you too can ask your daddy to make films for you (because no one else ever will).

Hrithik carries off the cool blue ensemble quite well here. But then you're not Hrithik, so buy this only if you can carry it off. If you still fit into your 7th standard school uniform, or have bigger tyres than your car, then do the world a favour and stick to what suits you.

Abhishek goes pink with a vengeance (although 'pink' and 'vengeance' in the same sentence just reminds me of this hot movie where there are these 3 chicks and they...err..never mind..). The Rolling Stones logo on his T is embedded with rhinestones that glitter and sparkle like the interior of a dance bar. Wear it only if you want to be called Julie, and imitated by irritating comics on the The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.

Hrithik's red shirt here is an example of 'How to Badly Design Ripped Clothes and Sell Them to Gullible...

Sods'. We're wondering if the rest of the world missed this teeny-weeny (ok maybe not teeny-weeny) detail, or they're just being polite and ignoring it. Anyhoo, politeness was never our forte, so look at the picture reaaaaly 'hard', and you'll notice Hrithik saying Salaam Namaste to the world.

Moving on to the women now. Bipasha Basu looks hot here, but you should seen her in the bikini....woohooo! *Mind.drifting.Must.Control*

The jeans are actually good, although a tad expensive at 2000 bucks.

Other good stuff includes that little grey number flaunted by Ash in the movie. Sexy and sequinned, it's worth the price tag.

The short white skirt goes great with tank tops, and Aishwarya goes great with the mute button. But then again, if you're the human equivalent of an ST bus (or even an Omni for that matter) then just gaze at it, bitch about the women who'll actually fit into it, and walk away.

JAM says: The menswear is ideally suited for junior college students at Mithibai college. The girl stuff is strictly okay.

In fact, the non-D2 collection at Pepe is far better.
