Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

bhuvanchaturvedi Typical AK movie focusing on the dark and the ugly in the world, yet gripping to watch. However, I was disappointed with a number of unanswered questions and illogical events. Spoilers Ahead*The mask seller who died had to be the prime suspect all along. Yet the police are so inept that they never mount a serious investigation into his and his aunt's antecedents till the end of the movie. The police even mount a nationwide hunt and recover many abducted children, yet they choose not to pursue the most logical line of investigation till the end. How convenient for the director! Rahul and Chaitanya commit several serious crimes such as armed robbery and assault and buying illegal arms. Yet they walk around free. The robbed jeweler presumably did not lodge any FIR, in order to not make things difficult for the director!It is not clear why Chaitanya had been such a help to Rahul earlier but now wants to help himself to ransom money? He is a prime suspect in the eyes of the police after his first ransom bid, yet the police allow him to walk away, and then make a second bid. The police does not put him under surveillance or confiscate his computer or search his office immediately after the second ransom bid, even though they know he had attempted this earlier. How convenient for the director!Shalini gives away the ransom money but makes no attempt to secure the child in exchange or even convince herself that the child is alive and she will be returned. Who behaves like that?Her father is shown to be well off and loving. She is herself educated and from a good family. Yet she endures ill-treatment from her husbands for herself and her child but does not seek her dad's help.Rahul kills Chaitanya in a rage supposedly because he realizes that Chaitanya has been lying to him about Bose abducting the child. Yet he does not ask himself why would Bose do this for ransom and assuming he did so, why would he release the child later, because his motive is supposedly to frame Rahul and not lay his hands on money.There are many other illogical details such as these. This is the main grouse I have with films and directors that purport to be realistic and intelligent, yet assume that their audience does not have a brain and will accept anything. And looking at the critics raving about this movie and its ratings, who would blame them?

ctowyi Ugly is a dark, disturbing tale that twists and turns on itself like an Escher print. Just when you think you know where this thriller is going, Anurag Kashyap throws back the shroud to reveal another face to the madcap and demented mystery. The rusty knife that is stuck in your gut gets twisted into angles you never thought possible.Synopsis A divorced aspiring actor draws a formal agreement with his wife enabling him to spend time with their daughter on Saturdays. One such day when he is busy discussing possible acting opportunities with his casting director, he leaves his daughter in his car. Within minutes, his daughter goes missing from the car. The abducted kid's stepfather - a police officer, joins her parents in a three way lookout for her. Who cares more among the father, stepfather, mother and what ends they are ready to explore is what makes Ugly.Review Although it is as grim as death, I found great sick dark humour. Initially the film has no fats, then it reaches a scene where the absentee dad and his friend are recording their statement at a local police station. The dialogue just goes on and on with loads of irrelevant details which made me laugh and laugh. It feels like a dialogue typically written by Tarantino to build up nail-biting suspense. But Kashyap has higher aspirations than that. As I LOL I realized it is a damning critique of bureaucracy and how people of authority sees the lower denominator of the population.The only misstep is a meandering middle act but the final OMG shot made up for it a hundred times over. An awesome morality tale with no innocent persons (except the little girl) and a sharp critique of the modern society that judges people before finding out the truth. I have not seen a lot of new Hindi releases this year but I must say this one is the best. For the more adventurous cinephile out there.

shivamt25 Dark, intense and disturbing, these word are appropriate when we describe Ugly. Hell break loose in the life of a few when a little girl is kidnapped. Ugly is about a story following a set of characters who are all corrupt, selfish, self obsessed or simply at a wrong place at the wrong time. None of them is good, but they are real. This is the most important factor of this movie that made me sit 2 hours straight because it was like that all that was happening in front of my eyes and i am like,'yes, this is whats going on in this world'. Everyone on in the cast has done a tremendous job. Each and everyone of them has shown their ugliest face in the movie for their role. The set up is perfect. To understand the character, the environment they live in plays a crucial role and that is what the director had success to achieve reality in. Ugly is one of those movies which, maybe, you will not want to see again but you will sure end up with lot of appreciation for the movie during the first time alone.

Misterhustler Ugly is one of the finest Bollywood movie I have seen in my life. The story seems to be pretty simple but it is really intriguing and keeps you hooked. Anurag Kashyap is among the finest Indian Directors and this movie proves that he is a master story teller who can do wonders with his ability. He is sometimes criticized for making dark movies but the way he depicts reality is simply amazing and leaves a big impression on the audience. All the actors in Ugly have given fine performance and the background music also adds depth and character to the movie. If we can have even five more film makers like Anurag Kashyap we can feel proud of our film industry which is currently borrowing most of its ideas and stories from Hollywood movies...
