4/10
Movie is " Ugly aur Pugli"
7 August 2008
At the cost of being called stupid let me confess, I had Hopes!!!.

Not very high hopes but I expected a movie along the lines of Pyaar Ke Side Effects, I even went prepared with the right company (girls), in fact i even hoped a bit more considering that Ranvir should be able to pull of the hen pecked boyfriend better than Rahul.

But alas it was not to be.

What i got was more of a confused film that went neither here nor there and left me with that Ugly feeling of being let down.

Clearly the weakest part of the movie is the script, Even if we are to believe that a bunch of 30 somethings are in college (better than the 70s i know but...), its hard to believe the madness thats being pushed across as real, THE MOVIE FAILS AT BOTH TRYING TO BE REAL AND LARGER THAN LIFE WITH BOTH TYPES OF SCENES HAVING THE HANGOVER OF THE OTHER.

THE MUSIC SAVE FOR "Mein Talli.." IS SO BAD THAT YOU ALMOST FORGET THE EVEN WORST PLACEMENT AND EDITING OF THE SONGS.

And whats with the sati savitri Mallika in her own words, we don't come to see her fully clothed, hell besides one song where she looked quite sexy (which was ruined because the songs were just so pathetic), she didn't even expose in goa for gods sake.

The only saving grace of the movie was the acting which was decent given the weak script, both Ranvir and Mallika did a decent job but thanks to the badly written script, many scenes looked like they were being hammed. And lets be frank Ranvir cant dance sala, so why is he doing it so much.

I suspect the movie has been copied from some movie because of the scenes were not the kind you normally see in Indian movies. In fact i would like to go on a limb and say it is some Asian movie, who are more atuned to obsessive love and such themes.

In all we have a poor movie that is best avoided, not suitable for any audience, in any mood.

-s script, songs, jokes, editing, songs, songs, editing, script.

+/-s acting or script which is to blamed??!!No exposure.

+s decent acting, A FEW FUNNY SCENES.

total 4/10 (i have factored in the fact that it fell below my expectations but don't want to exclude that and give it a five which makes it an OK movie which it definitely is not, i went with people who expected bad and the got it and those who had no idea they were seeing this and still found it bad so....)
