Kashyap has come up with a dark film which exposes the dark underbelly of Mumbai in the most realistic manner! Read the full movie review…
This morning when I saw the short film, Kali Katha, which is a prelude to the story of Ugly, I was highly intrigued to find out what will happen next. I kept wondering as to what Kali’s character would be like? How does she get kidnapped? Who would have done it? Well, in the evening when I saw the film, I not only had the answers to these questions but was also left with a brilliant cinematic experience.
When I entered the theatre, people were busy chatting and messaging on their phones, but Anurag Kashyap’s brilliant execution of the film commanded pin-drop silence.

The show goes on
Cineswami landed in Mumbai on Wednesday evening after a trip to Israel for the excellent Jerusalem Film Festival and was shocked but not surprised by the images of the latest round of bomb blasts unspooling on every television screen
On Thursday morning, the good citizens of Mumbai woke up and set off to work as per normal routine, their spirits dampened only by the incessant and heavy rain. The spirit of Mumbaikars has correctly been hailed and needs to be lauded again and again, but the bare fact of the matter is that this can’t go on.
