Truly Dreadful Film
... View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
... View Morewhat 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.
... View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
... View MoreUnP ran high on anticipation levels since it comes from the same house who gave us Pyar Ke Side Effects. Honestly UnP borrows concepts/ ideas heavily from PKSE and in lots of respects it overkills which is why the movie fails to work. The story/ screenplay/ script lack the punch.Ranvir Shorey:: Gives his usual best.Mallika Sherwat:: Was a misfit IMO. Or probably her character should have been toned down.Zeenat Aman:: Good to see her after a long time.Songs are catchy and good.The climax is straight out of Mills & Boons (read that "cheesy").
... View MorePritish Nandy Productions comes with another experimental movie after its "Pyar Ke Side Effects". But this time the experiment has been done on a borrowed thesis. The film is a loosely inspired from a korean movie "Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo" or "My Sassy Girl" (2001) which was then remade in English in 2008.The story no there is no story but it's a collection of anecdotes about the meetings between a boy and a girl. Its how the boy is rudely shaken and ill treated by her girl friend and then he keeps on trying to cope up with this strange relationship. The director couldn't catch the right spirit of the movie with no particular scene worth talking about.Ranvir Shorey underplays his role but as he doest get any support from the script department therefore fails to impress his fans. He gets very few funny scenes to satisfy the viewer. On the other hand Mallika Sherawat acts pricey and pretends to be the top most actress. She is surely the most sought after actress in one sense but strangely her enigma failed to bring in the crowd this time.Musically film has very less to register with one song becoming famous due to its cheap lyrics, "Main Talli Ho Gayi". Here Poetry takes the back seat once again in recent times. In today's competitive world of young music directors Anu Malik will have to rediscover himself once again.The promos were innovatively planned with good tag lines but the movie is another example of good promotion but bad content. Seeing some recent flicks its time the makers should concentrate more on the movie and its ingredients rather than on its promotional tactics. No doubt, good promotion is a must but you should not fool the audiences with wrong and misleading promos.
... View More"It was senseless."Well, Mallika would have accepted the script 'cause she is kind of "Girls are better than Boys" kind of person, but Ranvir ????? I wonder why he signed it.There were certain emotional moments that couldn't make me empathize (with Mallika mostly).There was a scene about birthday present; now, even the world's most silliest girl wouldn't do that nor even the boy would be so silly. Less comedy, or should I say only two-three situations/lines were good.Well, I feel like my money wasted, buying a ticket. Rather change your TV channel if it is aired. Buying A DVD?? Out of question.I was sheerly disappointed 'cause I liked "Pyaar ke side-effects". The only good thing was Ranvir's acting.
... View MoreWell, there are many kinds of movies. Some of them are outstanding, some are great, some good, some bad, some terrible and then there's something like Ugly Aur Pagli. We landed up getting tickets to the premier show before the official launch in theaters. For some very, and now unbelievably, stupid reason my friends and I felt privileged to have got tickets for this show. In fact, we missed the first few minutes and I was tempted to ask my seat mate about the scenes I missed.Most of the people laughed not because things were funny, but to feel that their hard-earned money was well-spent. I too laughed sometimes, and I felt guilty every time I did. My strong belief is that the writer lost the plot somewhere in the beginning itself. I didn't have high expectations, but I sure felt deceived. Here are my reasons:(1) It didn't have a story (2) If you argue it did, I would argue back (3) Whatever little there was to it, was held intact because of Ranveer (4) I will not deduct marks for a predictable ending. That's a disease faced by most movies. I would never look down upon someone's creative work, but I would feel even more guilty if many people spent good money, time and popcorn on something like this. My honest opinion, and what I strongly believe to be a fact, is that you should avoid watching this well-rhyming movie.Avoid the temptation of a great trailer.
