Ugly

 Movie- Ugly

Director- Anurag Kashyap

Genre- Dark thriller

I still have goosebumps after watching this film. Dark suspense with a sombre end. The twists and turns throughout the movie keep you at the edge of your seats. A classic whodunit case that unravels in the climax. Anurag Kashyap did it once again with another great film. A must watch for those who love thrillers and murder mysteries. Brilliant acting by Ronit Roy and Tejaswini Kolhapure. Even the character played by the cop was superb. Surely not for kids.In fact, the director requested the parents of the child actor Anshika to see that she did not watch it. A good watch indeed!

Ronit Roy plays Shoumik Bose, a character who is indifferent to the people he loves the most. He is brilliant in the movie Rahut Bhatt is convincing as the bashed-up unmployed man, waiting for the big break in Bollywood and losing all of his personal relations (wife and the kid) in the process. The character of Surveen Chawla, on the other hand, looks forced. Chawla is a little over-the-top as a model-actor who is happy changing her partners for the sake of money and is forever decked up in startling blue lipstick and eye-shadow. Tejaswini Kolhapure plays a battered wife and brings out the pain of a barren life perfectly.

Ugly does not have excessive violence. Rather than blood and gunshots all over the screen, all we see is the turmoil of a character just before violence. By using blank screens and abrupt cuts, Kashyap manages to keep the suspense alive and bring across crucial twists.
