Ungli

I think it's putting too much of a responsibility on a film to instigate a social change. It's job is to primarily entertain and make better cinema. Ungli's novelty is its highlight point. Benefitting from sharp writing, lucid narrative and a few clapworthy zingy dialogues which have the punch, I do think Ungli is one of 2014′s most novel concepts. Well rendered and acted with zeal, don't miss five people showing an entire system, the finger.

Ungli has an interesting plot, backed by good acting performances. You will not feel bad spending your hard earned money on this film. Even waiting for the DVD would not be a bad option.

So if you are looking for a fun ride, Ungli won't disappoint. But because of its simplistic approach, Ungli is only entertaining, not thought-provoking.

D'Silva has taken dollops of cinematic liberties and one can even see the residue of RANG DE BASANTI (which he co-wrote) but the movie does connect. And that is what matters.

The good looking bunch of actors with decent performances (Hooda and Hashmi stand out) managing-to-keep-you-hooked kind of script and a fairly laidback, easy, not in your face direction (Rensil D'silva) could have made this film wonderful, but for the dialogues.

An engaging film Ungli is. But like observed in another film not too long ago, "Human behavior and life doesn't change in 3 hours."

...if you want to watch a film about rebelling against the corrupt system then UNGLI is a decent watch for this weekend.

Keeping aside all its flaws and shortcomings, Ungli is still a decent entertainer and warrants a one time watch as there is nothing much to munch on for movie goers at theatres this weekend. Go with zero expectations and chances are that you won't show me your 'ungli' for recommending Ungli.

The film has an interesting premise, but the second half and shoddy climax does Ungli to any chances of it leaving a lasting impression on us.

Ungli, led by Randeep Hooda, Emraan Hashmi and Sanjay Dutt, is loaded with noble intentions, but is weighed down by uneven execution and simplistic twists.

Ungli deals with corruption in a very simplistic, superficial way. It never reaches out to the root of the problem, is quick to judge the poor Pandu hawaldaar or the auto drivers on the road and is quicker to punish them. It would be better if they dealt with what caused corruption than ways to deal with it. It even ends abruptly with no concrete message. Ungli is not as bad as O Teri or Fugly, but not even close to the best corruption movie of all times --- Rang De Basanti. If RDB led to an awakening, Ungli does just the opposite. It put me to sleep.

The film does have a social message which every proud citizen of the country must catch and understand—however, if only what cinema shows could be turned into reality with a whiff of fresh air. Do watch it to find your way of fighting the revolution!

The only way you can enjoy this mindless film is by looking at the fun side of the 'witty punishments' the vigilante foursome unleashes on its victims. Ah yes, even the dialogues: They are so miserable that you just cannot the miss their fun side.

Ungli is a film that starts with some good intent but falters midway. Much like the fact that the filmmaker resorts to using the punch sign instead of the middle finger that he initially intended to. Censor scare. I would have recommended they change the name of the film from Ungli to Mukka, but then with a film that lack any punch the change in name would have hardly mattered.
