Ugly Aur Pagli

Pritish 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.

At the cost of being called stupid let me confess, I had Hopes!!!.

Not very high hopes but I expected a movie along the lines of Pyaar Ke Side Effects, I even went prepared with the right company (girls), in fact i even hoped a bit more considering that Ranvir should be able to pull of the hen pecked boyfriend better than Rahul.

But alas it was not to be.

What i got was more of a confused film that went neither here nor there and left me with that Ugly feeling of being let down.

Clearly the weakest part of the movie is the script, Even if we are to believe that a bunch of 30 somethings are in college (better than the 70s i know but...), its hard to believe the madness thats being pushed across as real, THE MOVIE FAILS AT BOTH TRYING TO BE REAL AND LARGER THAN LIFE WITH BOTH TYPES OF SCENES HAVING THE HANGOVER OF THE OTHER.

THE MUSIC SAVE FOR "Mein Talli.." IS SO BAD THAT YOU ALMOST FORGET THE EVEN WORST PLACEMENT AND EDITING OF THE SONGS.

And whats with the sati savitri Mallika in her own words, we don't come to see her fully clothed, hell besides one song where she looked quite sexy (which was ruined because the songs were just so pathetic), she didn't even expose in goa for gods sake.

The only saving grace of the movie was the acting which was decent given the weak script, both Ranvir and Mallika did a decent job but thanks to the badly written script, many scenes looked like they were being hammed. And lets be frank Ranvir cant dance sala, so why is he doing it so much.

I suspect the movie has been copied from some movie because of the scenes were not the kind you normally see in Indian movies. In fact i would like to go on a limb and say it is some Asian movie, who are more atuned to obsessive love and such themes.

In all we have a poor movie that is best avoided, not suitable for any audience, in any mood.

-s script, songs, jokes, editing, songs, songs, editing, script.

+/-s acting or script which is to blamed??!!No exposure.

+s decent acting, A FEW FUNNY SCENES.

total 4/10 (i have factored in the fact that it fell below my expectations but don't want to exclude that and give it a five which makes it an OK movie which it definitely is not, i went with people who expected bad and the got it and those who had no idea they were seeing this and still found it bad so....)

how can they ruin such a beautiful loving and my all time favorite romantic comedy.Luckily i watched my sassy girl before the ugly ..."ugly and pagli" what a horrible movie they have made, this Indian film industry cant even copy properly horrible ....i watched this movie for 30 mins and i couldn't bear the insult of on e\e of my favourite movies so i had to stop[.....gyus if you really want to watch a great real life true romantic story go and watch "my sassy girl" the original Korean version with English subtitles ... not the Hollywood remake which is not as bad as bollywood ..

but still if you want to watch a masterpiece go and watch my sassy girl you will find in btjunkie torrent

Cant understand what to say about this movie. Surely, watching this movie will make you think that this movie is a crap, but the acting of Ranvir Shorey will surely make you laugh. Not only the acting, but the situations are also funny and fresh. But what i think was missing was the right direction, or the inability of Mallika Sherawat to act. Ranvir Shorey has certainly come a long distance and as it seems, he has become capable of being a solo hero, but there is something wrong in this movie, which takes away the charm. Added to that, we have dance numbers, which are forcefully inserted without any reason, Ranvir's funny dancing although he was trying to dance seriously, and the glycerine scenes of Mallika hard to believe. All this have been the offset of the movie. So, even if the situations make you laugh, in the end, you will find that there was nothing new and this was all a bloody crap.

I've never seen such a terrible movie as this one in my whole life. 23 years and haven't seen nothing like it. How low can you go to copy someone's movie frame by frame??, how dumb can u be?. Perhaps the director thought ooh "my sassy girl" is a Korean movie so not much people must have seen it, i'll make my copy and take it to the Oscar. crap ????. Who haven't seen my sassy girl?, probably 1/4 of all people in the universe. I think bollywood should change it's name to HollyCopy or "hollyXerox" cause most of it's movies are Hollywood copies. but this one takes the cake, the director did't bother to use his head and shamelessly copied someone's work. He did't change a thing, can u imagine?. If it was an examination he would have copied even the name, Idiot!!!
