Deepika at the Film Fare Awards 2012 - I've seen this variously being descibed as a saree...This has got to be a thavani, or as they say in north india - a lehenga. It sure is hot whatever it may be  - pure Sabsayachi style (but I'll vouch it's a half saree from this photo - and hence gaining a place on this blog about halfsarees).
