'Ugly Aur Pagli' is directed by Sachin Khot. The director has come up with an
interesting first look but then the story line is so flimsy that it relied a lot
on the presentation and narration which were a let down.
A repetitive tale, the story begins with Kabir (Ranvir) who is a happy go lucky
laid back guy who takes life at his own sweet pace and this can be justified with
the fact that he has been doing his engineering since the past five years. But
then, being a young guy with a longing heart, Kabir yearns to have a girlfriend
in his life and watching the world around him in couples makes him ponder several
times.
But soon his life changes with the arrival of Kuhu (Mallika) and Kabir who has
been on a sleep mode suddenly finds himself in the middle of a roller coaster
ride wherein he has to come up with some of the most ridiculous situations,
thanks to Kuhu. This hot girl is one dynamic, aggressive and cranky girl who
would not stop at doing the weirdest things in life. This scares the bulbs out of
Kabir and the more he plans to get away from her, the more close she gets to him.
In no time, Kabir finds himself falling hopelessly in love with this walking
dynamite but then does not have enough courage in him to express his feelings. To
add to the woes, Kuhu suddenly disappears and ends up in Kolkata which sets Kabir
on a locating mission. And what happens hereafter is to be seen on the
screen.
Presentation:
Even the technical side of the movie was not up to the mark with poor music and
stale camerawork. The script is a total mess and the screenplay was utter
disaster as discontinuity can be seen completely. The costumes did a good job and
the editing could have been deft. The dialogues lacked the required punch though
at times there were a few witty lines. It was Mallika Sherawat who came up with
the perfect portrayal of the girl with the wild and whacky shades and no one
could have done it better, even the emotional scenes were well enacted by her.
Ranvir from his side is a pro, he is a master of his role and knows where to give
the right ignition and push the throttle. Their onscreen chemistry was perfect,
Tinnu Anand and Sushmita Mukherjee did their bit to gather few laughs while
Bharti Achrekar did her bit with poise. One really wonders when Zeenat Aman came
and left. The others did not have much to do with their roles.
