    Deeply moving film, Anurag kashyap's best till date...

    Ugly, undoubtedly the best movie of Anurag kashyap till date, he manages to keep the suspense alive and bring across crucial twists. Ronit Roy steals the show with his best performance and all the cast especially, Rahul bhatt and Vineet kumar did great job. This is about how we tend to lose greater things in life because we are too stuck on our own perceptions. Directed in a very realistic way, I didn't find any flaws in this movie, everything is perfectly crafted in Kashyap style with no violence or gang-fights. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of dark thrillers, I am sure you wont get disappointed with Ugly though the movie is not at all ugly, in fact its a beautiful film with good message to society. I give it 10/10.

    Anurag is the gangsta of Hindi cinema

    Even the most expensive special effects cannot match 1% of what viewers can create simply with their imagination. Very few directors have the skill to use this ability of the audience. Unseen is always a lot more scary and disturbing than seen.

    There is a 5 minute scene in first half of Ugly. It has no dialogues. There is hardly any action. But it will chill your bones and you will remember it for a long time. It is worth watching Ugly, just to experience the skill of the director in this one scene.

    Anurag is truly the gangsta of Hindi cinema. He drags his audience to ultra real, scary and uncomfortable places to meet and confront demons who look just like people you see every day.

    Ugly's world is a dog-eat-dog world. Everyone is in it for themselves. They will sell their best friend and his kids to the highest bidder in the blink of an eye.

    If you enjoyed Black Friday, Dev D, Gulaal and Gangs of W, you will enjoy Ugly. If you did not, then it is best to stick to Mega Entertainer Sal Khan's movies.

    Kashyap's Darkest & Finest Hour!

    Anurag Kashyap delivers a disturbing & unsettling tale with 'Ugly', a film that's raw & realistic. Kashyap also aces with superb performances, led by Ronit Roy & Rahul Bhat.

    'Ugly' Synopsis: A terrible tale of corruption, indifference, and systemic violence starts when 10 year old daughter of an aspiring actor disappears.

    Throughly engaging & interesting, Kashyap creates a world of deception & cruelty, with absolutely no inhibitions. 'Ugly' is entirely grim & bleak, a film that has an atmosphere of its own. The characters are Grey, while the narrative is blunt & on-your-face.

    Kashyap's Screenplay is excellent. Its entirely twisted & serious. I'd like to point out, the last scene of the film, it's haunting & the Screenplay peaks itself then. Kashyap's Direction is suitably creepy & eerie. Cinematography & Editing are perfect

    Performance-Wise: Ronit Roy is outstanding as the cop. Displaying anger & frustration, with zeal. Rahul Bhat is a revelation. His performance here, deserves distinction marks. Tejaswini Kolhapure is brilliantly restrained. Vineet Kumar Singh is fabulous, yet again. Girish Kulkarni is highly effective. Surveen Chawla is effective, in a brief role. Siddhanth Kapoor is impressive. Late Abir Goswami is decent.

    On the whole, 'Ugly' is a massive winner from Kashyap! He ends 2014, with a roar! Very Strongly Recommended!

    Can't afford to miss it!!

    Its a very nice movie, beautifully directed & very different (in a good way) from other Bollywood movies.

    From the beginning itself your mind is not allowed to rest. You start with so many doubts and as the movie progresses some of them gets cleared up, but guess what now you have so many more. So just a suggestion, start the movie with your bladder cleaned up otherwise later on you'll be totally lost.

    Good humor + full suspense + great acting + great direction, have been waiting for this for so long.

    Thanks Mr. Anurag Kashyap for this beauty. Ronit Roy is a great actor, no doubt about that, and he has done wonderful acting here once again. But others are equally good.

    Brilliant....all the way!

    Ugly is one of the finest works from Anurag Kashyap. It continues to depict what he started with Last Train to Mahakali...and later with Paanch... - his love (and hate) for the dark side of human mind.

    Ugly at its heart is a racy thriller, intriguing, loaded with dark humor and real, gray characters, as unpredictable as only humans can be. Technically its brilliant. And its as close as you can get to original in Bollywood world.

    It keeps you glued to the screen for 130 min and leaves you numb when the show is over.

    P.S. Definitely not for the lovers of Dhoom-3, Kick and P-K genre, who like their cinema light, escapist and with popcorn.

    • Trivia
      The police station scene was meant for just one minute duration, but the actors in the scene stretched it to 14.5 minutes while improvising.
    • Goofs
      When Rahul is given 50 lakhs by the police to hand to the kidnapper, the amount should have been 20 lakhs instead. A few scenes before we see the police catching Shalini's brother who had actually demanded the 50 lakhs. So, that would leave the police with the phone call (by Rakhee) the source of the real kidnapper. And Rakhee had actually demanded 20 lakhs, not 50.
