after the devastating black Friday, director Anurag Kashyap is back with yet another film, this time roughly based on a Stephen king novel quitters inc. no smoking is a film which is not meant for everyone, in fact the number of people who will find this movie engaging is very few and far between. the central character of the film "K" is addicted to smoking which becomes the worrying point for his wife Anjali who threatens him that she would think of divorce if he doesn't think of leaving smoking. helpless he decides to go into a rehabilitation center, who's process of making smokers quit is a bit unconventional to say the least. what happens after that should not be revealed. the movie has some brilliant visual effects, excellent cinematography and strong direction for most of the part. john Abraham pulls of a difficult role pretty well though he has a long way to go before he can boast of his acting skills. there are flaws in the film and for which it would fail to get an audience in most places, the director of the film takes it's audience for granted, he is so busy in showing off his genius that he forgets about the people for whom he is making this movie. the result is the bizarre puzzling ending. in all this film is one that avoids traditional Bollywood clichés and is fresh in its story,look and treatment. Just on final word of advise for the director, at the time when Indian new wave cinema is again starting to grow, lets all just not make different movies but lets all make good movies.
