It crossed 350,000 views on the website within 10 hours. The buzz for the trailer is so strong that even Bollywood beauties like Sonam Kapoor and Raveena Tandon couldn't resist from raving about Vidya's bold and sultry look in the film that talks about the life of late southern glamour girl Silk Smitha.
"Oh my god, just saw the promo of The Dirty Picture. Vidya Balan, I bow down to you.

The first trailer of Karan Johar's much-talked-about production venture Agneepath has so far registered over 400,000 views on YouTube.
Mixed bag Hrithik Roshan's rippling muscles and intense persona and Sanjay Dutt's evil get-up as villain Kaancha Cheena caught the eye of many. A mixed bag of people, including actors, filmmakers and film critics, lauded Agneepath, a remake of a 1991 movie of the same name.
"Agneepath - Brilliant trailer. Looks like a film that has had a perfect casting and it will take an earth-shattering opening...great intensity of Hrithik Roshan is evident in his performance and Sanjay Dutt looks truly terrifying," trade analyst Komal Nahta tweeted.
Actor-director Roshan Abbas wrote: "Blown away by the Agneepath trailer! Dharma [Productions] does things in a spectacular manner!" The trailer of director Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar, which has Ranbir Kapoor in the title role, has also received a promising response online thanks to its crisp packaging, music and Kapoor's different looks.
"Really have to share this — Rockstar is by far the best and the most captivating trailer that I have seen. Ranbir looks like a powerhouse performer!" Bipasha Basu tweeted. Southern actor Siddharth wrote: "Still reeling from the Agneepath promo and here comes Ranbir and Rockstar! What a superb first look! [I] saw it three times back to back! Awesome!"
