Movies are the main mode of fashion advertising in India. Unlike western countries (or westernized eastern countries ) in India fashion is not determined by fashion magazines or fashion shows or red carpet hits and misses. It is bollywood that manages it. Effect of Madhuri's choli in Hum Apke He Kon should remove any doubts.

Then about realism, if you have noticed, western fashions shows dont display cloths that they will actually wear on street. Then what do they give, they tell us was is the coming colour patterns/shades, materials, print paterns etc. So you may not wear madhuris bare back choli but sure the lilac colour, gold prints as well as elbow covering had made a comeback.

See our heros they all wear designer cloths which itself is non-realistic as designer cloths and men are on two poles poles in India. But there dress sense did effect the dressing pattern. Salman Khan started the craze of netted banyan. Most youngsters didn't go for a net but sure thinner banyans hit the market. SRK wore shirts with only one button and masses sure reduced on buttoning.
