Ungli

After a long time, finally Ungli movie has been released. In which we can see little bit younger Emran, Kangna & Hooda. While Sanjay Dutt is looking very old. Neha Dhupiya & Neil Bhopalam (24 fame) are also here. Shradhha Kapoor is in Dance basanti song and Mahesh Manjrekar & Raza Murad have special appearances. This film describes the fight by the Mango People (Aam Admi) to the corruption, directed by Rensil D'Silva. Story is nice and new. Ploting of emotions and songs are also admirable. One of the plus points is dialogues by Milan Milap Zaveri. Some are too funny, while some are having a perfect punch to hit hearts of the audience. Music is cool and listenable. Sachin-Jigar's Dance Basanti is nice. Paakezah is my favorite. Background score is okay. Sanjay has played his character well. Others have small roles or I can say nothing extraordinary. So, all are fine as per the film, not individually. Kangana looks innocent with her curly hair. Emran and Randeep act as usual. Rensil has directed the film nicely. Some point of time, it is little bit slow and boring. Concept is new. Even climax is also remarkable. But, I felt some portions slow. If that portions could have been faster, the film will become a marvelous one. Although it is a nice workpiece, but box-office collections will not be higher than 50-60 cr. I would suggest this film to the youth of our country. It's not a predicting movie, I'm sure you will enjoy it from starting to ending. You will get more than your expectations.

'Ungli' has a good premise & to an extent, it does justice to it. But, overall, the Writing Material, despite its noble & genuine intentions, doesn't work entirely. Its interesting in parts, not totally.

'Ungli' Synopsis: A gang of friends decide to take justice into their own hands & turn into vigilantes. Things take a turn when a cop goes undercover to grill them.

'Ungli' makes an honest attempt to take upon the burning issue of corruption that exists in our country even today. The film begins well & the 'Ungli' Gang give us some gripping sequences, but the pace drops as soon as the Cop enters the scene. The second-hour doesn't hold appeal & the culmination looks hurried. Despite a crisp running-time of 113-minutes, 'Ungli' still isn't able to rise above its flaws.

Rensil D'Silva's Screenplay works in bits & pieces. A much tighter second-hour was needed. Milan Zaveri's dialogue, however, are super. D'Silva's Direction is ordinary. Cinematography & Editing are mention-worthy. Music by Various Artists is tuneful.

Performance-Wise: Sanjay Dutt delivers a restrained performance. Emraan Hashmi is sincere, although the length of his role is surprisingly short in the first-hour. Randeep Hooda is ever-effective. Kangana Ranaut doesn't get much to do. She looks gorgeous, though. Angad Bedi & Neil Bhoopalam are fair. Neha Dhupia is passable.

On the whole, 'Ungli' is a half-baked fare.

watch this movie if you literally have nothing (better) to do. Its neither exciting, nor boring. At least it knows that and doesn't stretch for too long like how Hindi movies usually do. There are a few laughs in there but its mostly the audience laughing at the horribly dated dialogs. yecch !! There even exists a love angle between two characters which seems to only exist to give way to a song. and then its gone. wot m8?!

The movie tackles the issue of citizens standing up against corruption in our awesome country. The last time I saw this as a theme was Rang De Basanti and that was a movie that sparked conversation. This leaves nothing with you. But to be fair the movie does point fingers (and about time) at something other than politicians for a change. And it does have some nice moments too.

It was good to see Reema Lagoo and %&$%#@ after a very long time. Randeep Hooda and Emraan Hashmi are good. Sanjay Dutt doesn't bring anything to the table (and the dude looks tired) and I personally have always found Kangana Ranaut's talking very weird (maybe I should watch queen). Did I mention the hilariously shitty dialogs? The Item number is shitty and so is Shraddha Kapoor but at least the song doesn't stretch beyond a minute or two. Neha Dhupia will always have a special place in my hard drive. She always manages to turn me on (call me!). Her acting isn't bad at all but its just that she doesn't have a.. um.. meaty role.

you cant call it good cinema. its entertainment at best and that too mild. A story like this usually makes you think but I believe the movie makers know that the nation has thought about this issue enough and countless times and so it focuses on taking action. sadly its not able to convince the audience that they can do it too. but perhaps thats asking too much.

usually movies suffer from a lack of an interesting ending. But in this case the ending seemed apt. no excitement was necessary and they kept it that way. The title sequence is animated and I have to say it was very slow (slow character animation, lack of camera movement) and boring to someone who notices these things. This is something I've noticed with Indian animation studios as compared to stuff from American studios. my 2 cents on that.

worst part: Dem dialogs (and a particular one delivered by Kangana)

best part: Sanjay Dutt saying "Kaanoon Se Barda Koi Nahi Hota" (or something of that sort)

I didn't really have much expectations of Ungli. The trailers looked okay, but it didn't give much away and didn't really excite me but the film really does surprise and is very much worth the watch. Ungli is all about corruption in India, which is by no means a new story line but its portrayed quite nicely in this film. While there is nothing 'outstanding' about the film, and its not likely to come close to any box office records it's one of those films that is a good family film - without an obvious genre.

Performance wise it's really a group effort. Randeep Hooda has a lot more screen time in the first half, but Emraan Hashmi in the second. Sanjay Dutt is pretty much the main character throughout the film and does a stellar job of a role that is very easy for him. Randeep yet again puts in a brilliant performance and is now such a reliable actor. It's quite clear that he isn't a mainstream hero, but as a supporting actor he is one of the best in the industry. Emraan is his charming self, and it's quite nice for him to do a film which contains no obvious romance. Kangna and the others do well in their respective roles too.

The music is catchy and suits the film well. I'm quite happy that the songs weren't randomly pushed in requiring the actors to actually sing, but more in the background which suited the film. Dance Basanti is very catchy (Shraddha looks fantastic!), Auliya and Pakeezah are both beautiful.

Overall the film is a good watch but nothing amazing. Watch it for Randeep and Emraan.

It was Rang De Basanti which ignited the fire within the common man to fight against corruption and turned out to be an event film . UNGLI had all the ingredients that makes it a perfect hard- hitting flick but 2nd half spoils the mood and it is a like a matar paneer without salt.

Plagued by corruption arising in every part of the society, 4 friends form a group called UNGLI to fight against it in their own way.

After bold attempt in Kurbaan , Renzil D'Silva does a fine a job as a director. However the screenplay looses the steam aftermath. The beginning of the film and narration of story of the protagonist is beautifully depicted . The later reel flips and falls flat heavily with unnecessary song and less-impacting climax. Screenplay could have been better. Dialogues are good. Editing required extra effort. Cinematography and art direction is bad. Among the actors, only Randeep Hooda stands out while none could make impact with their performance. Emraan Hashmi is as usual wooden face. It is high-time he should start looking for better roles. Kangana Raunat fails to make impact this time. Sanjay Dutt is OK.

Overall , a very good effort in trying out something different but 2nd half makes it a spoilsport. Average 2/5
