Too many fans seem to be blown away

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The first must-see film of the year.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Typical AK movie focusing on the dark and the ugly in the world, yet gripping to watch. However, I was disappointed with a number of unanswered questions and illogical events. Spoilers Ahead*The mask seller who died had to be the prime suspect all along. Yet the police are so inept that they never mount a serious investigation into his and his aunt's antecedents till the end of the movie. The police even mount a nationwide hunt and recover many abducted children, yet they choose not to pursue the most logical line of investigation till the end. How convenient for the director! Rahul and Chaitanya commit several serious crimes such as armed robbery and assault and buying illegal arms. Yet they walk around free. The robbed jeweler presumably did not lodge any FIR, in order to not make things difficult for the director!It is not clear why Chaitanya had been such a help to Rahul earlier but now wants to help himself to ransom money? He is a prime suspect in the eyes of the police after his first ransom bid, yet the police allow him to walk away, and then make a second bid. The police does not put him under surveillance or confiscate his computer or search his office immediately after the second ransom bid, even though they know he had attempted this earlier. How convenient for the director!Shalini gives away the ransom money but makes no attempt to secure the child in exchange or even convince herself that the child is alive and she will be returned. Who behaves like that?Her father is shown to be well off and loving. She is herself educated and from a good family. Yet she endures ill-treatment from her husbands for herself and her child but does not seek her dad's help.Rahul kills Chaitanya in a rage supposedly because he realizes that Chaitanya has been lying to him about Bose abducting the child. Yet he does not ask himself why would Bose do this for ransom and assuming he did so, why would he release the child later, because his motive is supposedly to frame Rahul and not lay his hands on money.There are many other illogical details such as these. This is the main grouse I have with films and directors that purport to be realistic and intelligent, yet assume that their audience does not have a brain and will accept anything. And looking at the critics raving about this movie and its ratings, who would blame them?

*This review may contain spoilers*Okay so this is my first IMDb review and I think that there was no other movie as perfect as Ugly to start writing.I am a movie addict, and not that guy who just watches Hollywood movies and curses all Bollywood movies. I enjoy Bollyood movies too.Well, I have loved Anurag Kashyap right since No Smoking, Gangs of Wasseypur etc. But this is another level, I am not kidding but this movie is comparable to all the Oscar winning movies ever, EVER. You are expecting a "Taken"-type ending i.e. Dad will find daughter after much struggle and so on.But no, you expect that as a normal movie watcher, even I expected that and then there was the end scene, right before me and I was struggling to decide what to do next. It had literally mind-boggled(I wanted to say something else, but IMDb doesn't approve) me. I did not expect the movie to go where it went...literally.The acting was top notch and perfect. Hope this movie gets more recognition and breaks into the Top 250.

Ugly - A 'perfect and beautiful' neo-noir thriller film comprising of some of the most 'imperfect and ugly' characters ever written for a Bollywood movie smile emoticon The movie is 'gripping' right from the start to end, rarely deviates from the main plot and culminates with a terrific climax. The movie hits the right note in all departments- be it the screenplay, the dialogues, the way the characters are portrayed, the background score and almost everything you could ask for in a thriller. The performances are so 'top-notch' that you are faced with a tough choice to pick out the one that stands out smile emoticon A 'real gem' from Anurag Kayshap and team that shouldn't be missed smile emoticon

Ugly is one of the finest Bollywood movie I have seen in my life. The story seems to be pretty simple but it is really intriguing and keeps you hooked. Anurag Kashyap is among the finest Indian Directors and this movie proves that he is a master story teller who can do wonders with his ability. He is sometimes criticized for making dark movies but the way he depicts reality is simply amazing and leaves a big impression on the audience. All the actors in Ugly have given fine performance and the background music also adds depth and character to the movie. If we can have even five more film makers like Anurag Kashyap we can feel proud of our film industry which is currently borrowing most of its ideas and stories from Hollywood movies...
