This is not film about a neat denouement. Messy lives, sordid relationships, betrayal and revenge run through the veins of the film. Barbara Cartland would have frowned. But Agatha Christie would have assuredly approved.

How long can you watch three good-looking people doing the dumbest of things in the misguided hope that they would scare you with their propensity to think with their private parts in public places.

After a while you just wish they would keep it in their pants.

Going back in time is never an easy task in cinema. Many have failed to court periodicity convincingly. Hawaizaada gets away with its flight into the mind of the man who dared to fly. This miniature masterpiece leaves us exhilarated and exultant. Thank God for the dreamers, past and present.

Baby is one helluva roller coaster. Miss at your own risk.

More brilliant than the film is Vikram’s multi-personality performance which holds the film together, loopholes and all.Vikramembraces the grotesque as possessively as the glorious.It doesn’t matter which language you speak or think in. Just go for I.It speaks the language of cinema.

Sadly the humour is decidedly more dead in Crazy Kukkad Family than the patriarch who just refuses to die. The writing could have done with less lungs and more brains.

This is one crazy family we don’t want to run into .

Bipasha Basu tries hard to infuse life in the inert plot. She fails,though we can’t blame her.Even the stunning Kerala locales look listless when weighed against the cartoonish terror and lust of a pair which knows they are getting into the wrong train.

Forget horror. This is a comedy.

The film takes on the theme of greed and covetousness and turns it into a pleasant satire. A saucy comedy about a commoner’s brush with the ‘D’ gang, this is an original smile-inducing romp into the realm of comedy where errors define the mood ,and the characters are not as interesting as the situations that the script tries to create for them.

This is certainly funnier film than any other comedy this week.

This is a love story where most of the playing-time is devoted to the protagonists locked in a scuffle of the most physical and violent kind. And yet, there is a core of tenderness in the film manifested in Sonakshi Sinha’s melting pleading eyes as she makes a run away from the city’s arch-goon Gajender Singh (Manoj Bajpai, bang-on ) who has taken a shine to her.

This is a thriller which leaves us with a sense of utter futility about the quality of life that we lead. Anurag Kashyap’s most incisive exploration of human relationships Ugly boasts of some of the most skilled performances in recent times, so skilled that they do not seem to be performances at all. These are actors who must be seen more often. Or their souls would be broken beyond repair… just like the characters that they play so well they don’t seem to be playing them at all.
