      Horrible

      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!!!

      a really ugly movie remake

      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

      Truly "Ugly aur Pagli" movie

      What were the makers of this movie thinking. They thought they could give an Indian touch to the Korean original "Yeopgijeogin Geunyeo" which is a masterpiece by itself. Though I do not understand Korean, I watched the Korean version (with English subtitles) and was touched by every moment in it. A friend of mine suggested this movie and I thought it must be some kind of Korean comedy (with animated expressions). But the end result was totally different. It turned out to be a heart rendering, natural comedy with touching moments and a warm ending. Haven't seen the Hollywood version "My Sassy Girl" but the original is special and probably no remake could recreate the magic of the movie. Ugly aur Pagli is an utter failure in an attempt to do so. Instead the comedy is slapstick and makes no sense in the Indian context. Ranvir has been wasted here and Malika should stick to what she does best (which is not acting). Music has nothing to it, except for probably "Main Talli Ho Gayi". Overall the movie makes a mockery of the original and has nothing much to take back from it.

      Very ugly indeed...

      A rip-off of a successful Korean film. I never really understood why certain filmmakers in India have to copy others' films. I do enjoy the occasional films of this category though as long as they are made in their own special way, as long as the elements are somehow changed and the only thing that remains is the basic plot elements, and as long as the film is generally well-made and entertaining. This film has none of it. They put two actors in one piece of a very very boring joke. The film has a Ranvir Shorey, who is generally considered a good actor, hamming and acting like a kid, and a Mallika Sherawat, whom I personally like very much, trying to be cool without success. Nothing about this film is memorable, though I really liked the scenes in which Mallika slaps Ranvir. The film is badly made, the narrative does not go anywhere, the development is dull, and the director seems to have no interest in it. In one word: avoid. In two words: avoid it. In three words: don't watch it.

      Yet another inspired flick! And, oh, what sadomasochism!

      Okay, how many of you actually fancy having an unbridled shrew to romance, that too being a doormat? This movie has one hapless Kabir (Ranvir Shorey) who seems to rather enjoy taking that from a drunken Kuhu (Mallika Sherawat). If you thought this idea of sadomasochism was desi, nope, this one is a complete rip-off of Korean ‘My Sassy Girl’; since I hadn’t seen the original, I had to make do by reading the plot on web.

      An out of romantic luck, flunking engineering student Kabir happens to find a ‘talli’ Kuhu leaning towards an oncoming Mumbai local on one fateful night. The swaying girl pukes over a passenger, calls Kabir ‘darling’ and gets knocked out. Unwilling to leave her to her fate in the dead of the night, Kabir takes her to a shady motel. Next morning, Kuhu commands him to come to Marine Drive, beginning their sadomasochistic romance.

      As much as he tries to avoid the dominatrix, she always seems to get him. Imagine, the guy can’t order the food he wants, choose what to do, bear the abuse, wear stilettos and petticoats, takes slaps, and has to carry her to safety after her knockout. Funnier still are her futuristic scripts that he’s got to sell to producers! But, having already fallen for her; Kabir makes up his mind to put a smile on the face of her sad past! The rest is workable.

      Ugly Aur Pagli is neither a sweet romance nor is a comedy you can relate to unlike its predecessor Pyar Ke Side Effects. About Kuhu, I wish the film makers could have done more to bring out the cause of her sadness, than just seemingly fake nakhre. Despite this, Mallika stands out throughout. Playing the doormat to perfection, Ranvir Shorey seems to have perfected playing the whipping boy, especially after ‘Mithya’.

      If you are still wondering whether to watch this movie, the answer is a clear ‘No’. With characters not really developing much, you don’t feel for either! There are quite a few jokes you would laugh at, but none really are showstoppers. Music is passable, with the ‘talli’ song targeting gen-next drinkers, but isn’t still good enough. At the end of it all, if they made this film out of another DVD, they could have surely done better.
