Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
chanishaj-26377 A movie made from Stephen King's short story 'Quitters, Inc', that's the idea I had about No Smoking before watching it. Well.. yeah and NO. 'Quitters, Inc' is about a guy, a chain smoker, who gets mixed up with a company that will stop any kind of addiction by any means. The movie has somewhat the same concept. And though it begins as the short story, on the way it begins to turn in to something else. Reality and fantasy gets mixed up. Dreams and reality begins to merge. The movie transforms into David Lynch from Stephen King.From the Story, Direction, Cinematography, Music to the use of surrealism, fantasy, dreams, reality, fear and humor are great. Most importantly, just like a Lynch movie, this can't be summed up to a single meaning. We can accept what's shown just as that, (even that can be explained in few different ways). Or we could find out some hidden stories inside the symbols. No smoking is not just a film, it's an experience that one can feel and understand in any way they want.A mind numbing surrealistic neo-noir psychological thriller.. A Lynchian masterpiece..Have seen more than 600 Hindi movies in nearly every genre there is, Never have seen a Hindi movie like this.10/10
DG_Boy The movie is very good thriller and awesome.The story is very different and good.The story is about a man who is badly addicted to smoking and in order to quit smoking visits a rehabilitation centre and finally he is released from there after being warned that his family will be killed if he dares to smoke again and......The direction is superb from Anurag Kashyap.The screenplay was good.The editing locations and dialogues were awesome.And the acting was awesome from John Abraham and paresh rawal acted good too.Its a must watch movie guys.Hats off to all the makers of this film.A very different thriller.Bollywood should make more movies like this.
vishaal811 No Smoking is made with good intentions and the filmmaker is desperately trying to do something completely out of the box in this movie. However, the movie which has several themes such as surrealism, fantasies and dream sequences, makes the viewer completely distant from the underlying meaning of it all. It is frustrating to watch a movie and not comprehend the whole point of the story. The cinematography is good and John Abraham does a decent job in the lead role. The movie seems to be inspired by Mulholland Drive which is another movie that can drive the viewer insane with its ambiguous storyline. Even though Anurag Kashyap must be praised for trying to make experimental movies, the movie must give the viewer some clue as to what the truth is. The movie will be frustrating and disappointing for most of the people. Hence, stay away from it unless you are looking for something completely different from the usual crap.
utkarsh singh Here's a warning: If u are not interested in analyzing a movie, this movie is not for you at all.I literally saw this movie 10 times and the count will keep on increasing. An excellent cinema, great work done by Anurag "K"ashyap. This movie really takes you on a roller coaster ride and in the end leaves you so much to think about. The title of the film is "No Smoking" and the director had every option to make it simple and straight but the director dared to take a road less travelled by and the outcome is a class apart, and you don't generally come across such awesomeness.This movie revolves around "K" (played by John Abraham) who is a chain smoker and a self made, arrogant person clearly evident with his one liner is "nobody tells me what to do". His wife Anjali, sick and tired of his smoking habits, decides to call off their marriage and leaves the home. She agrees to come back only on one condition that K have to go to rehab centre run by SHRI SHRI BABA Bangali. K decides to pay a visit and that's where the whole extra ordinary experience of the movie starts.This movie will take you through a journey at the end of which you have to interpret the entire scenario and this will give u a proud feeling.Again giving credit to director and actors (John, Paresh Rawal & Ranveer shorey has done a commendable job), i must say this bollywood movie is epic and has achieved "cult" status.A MUST WATCH!!
