The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Kabir Sadanand once an actor now a filmmaker who gave us some films like Popcorn Khao Mast Ho Jao, Tum Milo To Sahi.etc FUGLY is also a production of Akshay Kumar The film seems a mix of Rang De Basanti,Fukrey and Shaitan and some more films though however the film is quite well handled at most places. The manner in which the friends get into trouble due to Chautala are well handled, however at times scenes do seem far-fetched. The message it intends to convey is well handled but at times it gets predictable while at times too filmyDirection is decent and Kabir shows improvement,writing could be better Music is decentAmongst actors, mostly newcomers Mohit Marwah is raw but does show potential, Kiara Advani is decent Vijendra Singh is alright, Arfi Lamba is good Jimmy Shergill is superb as Chautala in a role that seems to be tailormade for him rest are okay

This is possibly the only movie which could beat "Gunday" as far as IMDb ratings are concerned, and in all likelihood it definitely will.By far the worst movie of the year, this movie has no self defined meaning or statement which it wants to portray. It starts off with a bunch of very amateur actors who more often than not over-act their part and mess up the scenes. Besides Jimmy Shergill, who was exceptional with his part, the others are bunch of moronic actors, especially the girl Kiara Advani who was given too much focus for little reason.The storyline itself is so pathetic, that no movie should ever be attempted with such a script. 4 absolute loser guys end up kidnapping a guy (supposed puny minor criminal) to teach him a lesson and assault an officer in duty. This is good enough reason for them to be killed and the movie should end there itself.Next, I hate that the fact that this is a Hindi movie with over 50-60% of the script being told in a Haryanvi accent. Dev Majumdar, who must needs be a Bengali is portrayed by Mohit Marwah, who doesn't even come close to having any semblance of Bengali culture/accent in him. Terrible direction, screenplay. Seriously seriously bad movie. Period.

F*UGLY, the name seems unusual and hatke, I kept wondering what it really meant, well the beginning credits clarifies the same; it meant "FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE". The hatke quotient stops in the name itself.So Fugly delves in the latest trend of exploring our Capital Delhi. The story is of 5 friends, Dev (debutant Mohit Marwah), Devi (debutant Kiara Advani), Gaurav (Boxer Vijendra Singh) and Aditya alias Haggu (Arfi Lamba), who lead a chilled and care free life. In one incident wherein Devi is molested by a grocery shop owner and the friends decide to teach him a lesson and kidnap him and en-route they have an accident with a police van and they meet Police Inspector Choutala (Jimmy Shergill). This incident changes their life forever and Choutala starts blackmailing them and how these friends fight against Choutala and the system constitutes the rest of the story.The first problem is the story by Rahul Handa which is Rang De Basanti Meets Fukrey,it hangs between being comedy or a serious issue based movie and does not have the punch. The second problem is with the screenplay which is slow and the sequences look too half baked and without the punch and the transition from flash back to present looks disjointed. The songs have no relevance to the story and look forced. And the biggest is the climax which does not justify the overall narration. The dialogues by director Kabir Sadanand and Rajveer Ahuja ranges from being witty to unintentionally funny. The characters look too monotonous and repeated.Performance wise it needed more punch from the debutants, Mohit Marwah as Dev looks too stiff and needs diction lessons as his dialogues are not clear. Boxer Vijendra Singh sleep walks through his role of Gaurav and is average as the fun loving Jat. Kiara Advani as Devi is crackling and justifies her character well and she shines amongst the other debutants Mohit and Vijendra, watch out for this girl. Arfi Lamba as Aditya becomes quite monotonous after a point and his comedy tracks look forced. Jimmy Shergill as R S Choutala is the bright spot of Fugly, he is just superb and rises above the writing with his brilliant portrayal, another under rated actor of Bollywood. Rest of the cast sleep walk through their portrayal.Another problem is the editing by Shounok Ghosh, it is not crisp and overall flow looks bumpy. Cinematography by Milind Jog is good and captures Delhi & Ladakh well.The Music by Yo Yo Honey Singh sounds repetitive and other music directors Raftaar and Prashant Vadhyar does not impress.Kabir Sadanand took a topical subject but fails in the narration, it neither falls into the category of serious cinema nor a comedy. Kabir also stumbles is extracting a crackling performances by the cast excluding for Jimmy Shergill and Kiara Advani.

Direction is very bad. Even the opening frame of film gives a hint that director has some alien vision. A person sets himself ablaze and walks like he is under shower!!? Might be Director had never burnt his finger with even a match stick. Person is deadly convinced about this step but it can't make him walking like fire is nothing has to do with him. After watching this scene, I was damn sure that I am going to witness another bad film. Story has nothing new, sensible to offer. Screenplay makes thing more idiotic. Dialogues are good at places. Director was so desperate to make a unique film that without justifying anything he stuffed all i.e love track, corrupt policemen, opportunist politician, drug deal, murder, comedy but final outcome is bitter. Pre climax is very slow and I couldn't able to understand the climax. Performance wise all three lead are hardly OK. Kiara Advani as Devi is very good. She emotes well in emotional as well as in dramatic scenes and looks pretty too. Jimmy Shergill as R.S.chautala is impressive. Musically two tracks Fugly fugly and Dhup chik are foot tapping and give the most required relief. Other tracks slows down further the already slow film.
