Reviews
Tockinit not horrible nor great
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
silvan-desouza Bhatt films are known for their skin but many times they do have good stories which may not be original but yet must admit they are at times good films like Gangster. Kalyug which released alongwith the trash by YRF Neal N Nikki and EK AJNABEE which did average business, Kalyug performed better but not much as expected. The film is set in the porn industry and the main story does seem real especially the problems in Kunal's life. The film starts off as a routine love story with songs but changes geers effectively, the shocking twist is well handled, Kunal's search for justice may seem filmy and hard to digest but it's well handled. Amrita Singh's scenes are well handled too.Emraan's character may seem filmy but it does seem vital in the plot. The way Kunal goes about in Zurich may not seem real enough but yet for the vendetta it seems well handled, however Ashutosh Rana's profile does seem inconsistent. The pre-climax is well handled and also the climax.Direction by Mohit Suri is good Music is decent, Jiya Dhadak is seeped in melody and made Rahat Fateh Ali Khan a noticeable face after Paap, Jhuda Hoke is a nice number though copied from Jal with rights unlike Chocolate.Kunal Khemmu seen as a child artist and known for his performances in Zakhm is superb in his main role, his expressions, dialogue delivery and everything is topnotch though he did look a bit too skinny for his debut yet a great performance for a debut. Smilie Suri is okay, Deepal Shawl is raw but leaves a mark Emraan Hashmi does a good supporting act, Amrita Singh made an effective comeback though at times she does ham it up Ashutosh Rana has an ill defined role but does a good job Rest are okay.
lastliberal No, I didn't watch it there, but that is where it belongs.It could have been shortened at least a half an hour by taking out all those love songs and walking through the field or on the beach, but I guess that's Bollywood.I watched it because the lead (Kunal Khemu) came from Kashmir after terrorists threw out his family and ended up in Mumbai. A timely story, but he wasn't fighting terrorists, he was searching for those who took pictures of he and his wife on their honeymoon and plastered them on the Internet. No, you won't see anything - they don't even kiss on screen.But, we do get a little samurai action towards the end as one man finds his conscience. Of course our hero destroys the porn business, releases all the girls, and rides off into the sunset with the star (Deepal Shaw).
phat_mrt A good film which brings out the real issues in the real world. It incorporates situations that occur in every day life, which can affect a persons reputation and character in a negative way.personally I have heard and witnessed several mobile phone video clips which are personal to the individual exploited and published without the consent of the people in the video or who made it.People who run these porn sites should not be doing these kind of things and this film shows, how greatly it can affects a persons life......even to the extent of committing suicide or even taking an oath of vengeance.Overall, a good film which people in the real world and this generation can relate to. i.e. modern technology is getting more advanced as we speak. Cameras can be hidden in any everyday devices.Beaware people.
amit_sinha62 Well, Kalyug is definitely a hard hitting subject which has been dealt with a decent direction , but not really exciting direction. The star cast is decent with Kunal showing some good potential, amrita Singh in a good negative character of the porn queen who wants to be numero uno in porn industry replacing Hustler and Playboy. But the lady shows more of hungry and lust full character with a weird sense of business. Hmm , this really doesn't show much talent of the director . deepal shaw is good till the moment she is exposing herself and is keeping quiet. The other actress , if I am not wrong her name is similie is good looking , may be she can get work in another few movies. A surprise package is apna desi porn star Imraan Hashmi , who looks at least better than his previous sex flicks and extra marital saga as he doesn't get a chance to lock lips with any of the ladies in this film and try some piece of acting. The songs are really the pull factor of movie as one doesn't want to leave chair while the songs are being played on. Songs are in fact , the strongest point of any movie from bhatt camp. Overall, the movie can be watched in spare time and its not really bad, I mean you can have at least have break even on the ROI (return on investment ).
