          A pornography video shot on a married couple's honeymoon - based on a true story, an educational film

          A movie worth watching. Unlike typical Hindi movies, this one is based on the most rising crime in contemporary India ... crime of shooting pornography films of oblivious married couples and circulating them illegally. This movie is fast paced and goes directly to its point. It revolves around aspects that is the most important for the audience to know. Aspects such as, what kind of people are involved in the business, what makes it successful, the reasons for such video production, success and so forth. An educational movie, I would say. Besides, it is a decent entertaining movie as well. The series of events and its strong bond to reality makes it worth watching. I mention its bond with reality because most of us refuse to face certain facts of our life and live on with it. This movie definitely highlights the life of a person who lived a life most of us do and the emphasizes on how he fought for reality and tried to make his life worth living even after all the difficulties he goes through. Well directed, inspirational, educational and entertaining. A must watch!

          Perfect underworld movie

          A combination of random actors but they fit their characters perfectly, the plot was classic and very exciting. It truly takes you into the underworld. It had all the topics: cops, gangsters, women, weapons or drugs...etc.

          Movies like these created the early 2000 scene, it was highly underrated, I truly believe no other will be able to make movies like these anymore, now this genre is shown with flashy cars...etc and leave out the roughness, it's really hard to create a true crime movie without showing ego.

          The songs were good but could have been extra spice could have been added to make the movie stand out.

          Good story, weak execution, appreciable effort

          So, here you get Hindi cinema's take on the pornographic film industry. Another film which tries to explore the dark side of society, but unfortunately without great success. Mahesh Bhatt is the one responsible for this story, which is said to be based on a true incident which inspired him back in time. Generally, when Bhatt tries to take a short break from his routine job of mostly ripping off foreign movies, he does a lot better. He definitely does better this time, but the script is still quite poor and many flaws can be spotted from time to time. The direction of Mohit Suri is very faulty. Actually I quite liked Woh Lamhe, which was fairly enjoyable and well-acted, but here the execution is too weak and simplistic. The result is a film that is more of a mediocre potboiler which looks like another clichéd revenge saga. It is not that bad though, because the film is quite entertaining at times and it definitely has its moments, but as an issue-based film, it is hardly convincing.

          The moments that I liked in the film include mostly the sequences involving Kunal and Renuka. Later on, with the entrance of Mrs. Simi Roy, there are some interesting sequences which later fade. Kunal Khemu, who was a fantastic child actor mostly in Bhatt productions such as Zakhm, makes his debut as a leading man. Ironically, he still looks very young for the part and so the credibility is reduced, but then he is very competent where only acting is concerned, and does very well throughout. Amrita Singh, too, returns to movies after a long period, and expectedly she is quite terrific as the devious and greedy Simi, effectively creating a vicious persona and rising above the script with her presence, which remains as strong as it used to be. The supporting cast includes many actors, most of whom are terrible. Anu Malik's soundtrack, however, is one of the best things about the film. Kalyug is overall an above average movie at best, but the effort is appreciable.

          very very good movie

          This movie is very good and one of the main reasons I wanted to watch this movie was that I wanted to hear the last song at the credits. I was surprised to:I expected Emran Hashmi to be the bad guy in the movie because in the other movies I've seen with him in he is the bad guy. It takes up real life issues about a man battling a porn website and the people who run it. Good scenes of violence. 10/10 is my rating for this movie, it is very good. I wan't disappointed at all, it is a great movie. Buy and watch it. You will not be disappointed at all. It has some funny bits in too so it is humorous. 10/10 is the good rating for this movie.

          modern times : fresh films

          dear movie lovers. before i write something about this film, i have to say: i hope that this is not a remake of some other American movie, i have'not seen. it would be a shame because of it's freshness.

          OK let's talk about this film. the story is about " human-trafficking" a very delicate subject especially in Asia. you have to approach a story with such a heavy subject in a subtle way.

          the story is actually divided in three chapters. the first and the last are simply amazing. chapter 2 lacks the subtle way a little.

          but why complain , this is a heavy duty subject, packed in a exceptional- entertaining way without getting ridiculous, with a brand new actor who can be measured with the likes of keanu reeves or Orlando bloom. And one of the finest villains i have seen in along time.

          its fresh its modern see this one

            The song Aadat was originally a Pakistani song which was also recreated by Pritam in Chocolate as Zahreeli Raatein ironically starring Emraan Hashmi, it was removed from the film to avoid copyright issues while Bhatts took the rights and used it in this film.
