One of the best
One of the most original and brilliant movie to come out of Bollywood. The movie is fast paced and doesn't give you the opportunity to blink your eyes. The story is incredible and has a few twist and turns. Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher shine in their respective roles and keep you engaged and so does Neeraj Pandey's flawless direction and narration. The ending is just superb and out of the box. The movie leaves us thinking as it tackles one of the most relevant issues with some panache.

Ishan Mohan reviewed Ugly
Unique
The movie is a dark noir thriller that tries to capture the darkness inside humans while narrating a gripping tale of the abduction of a 10 year old girl. Each of the characters is well written and their negative and positive sides are captured. Ronit Roy and Rahul Bhatt act well wjile an extremely fast narrative doesn't give you a chance to blink. The movie shows how the characters let greed and ego come between their mission to find the girl and end up unsuccessful. What makes the movie unique is the sheer reality with which Kashyap shows things including the police stations and humans themselves and manages to continue his story at the same time with an engaging pace.
Go for it.

Martin Scorsese at his best
It is yet another masterpiece by Martin Scorsese. He comes up with a revenge saga unlike any other seen. Based in the 19th century New York, it tells the tale of The Five Points. Whose ruler Bill "the butcher" is a feared and honorable man to whom everyone pays protection money. He has reached this position by killing the leader of the Irish immigrants Priest Vallon whose son(Leonardo Di Caprio comes to avenge his father's death. Scorsese finely manages to show a New York very different from the one we see now, where police doesn't have any effect and local lords rule, where crime is an everyday happening and there is no fear of the authority and where there is no place for immigrants. The use of violence is perfect and at times seems poetic. It captures the various sides of its characters and no one is shown as being black or white, everyone is grey which is what makes the movie so real. It has a phenomenal climax which shows how everything burns in the fire of revenge and that there is nothing gained for it.
