Review: The year 2014 is almost over, and with
a terrible year ended
for Bollywood films. It is ironic that a disastrous
year should end with
such a high note with the ugly,
beautiful humanity of Anurag Kashyap
gift.
Kashyap is certainly an exemplary talent with big ambitions, and is roughly the brand ambassador of pioneering avant-garde cinema in India. He not only left its mark in Bollywood, but has also helped in launching a successful career for his protégés. His weak point is that it is likely to go overboard with the ambition, especially in post-interval portions.
With ugly, returns to his roots dark thriller and the result is his best film since his directorial debut Paanch. On the outside, ugly on the kidnapping of a 10-year-old, who got the ball rolling and wrecks havoc on the lives of the people to put them. But like Paanch, the film really explores the darkness that lurks behind the innocent faces, a darkness that emerges when tempted by the most powerful motivator of all - money.
The film reels off slowly in the first half, with dark letters from the heart, his black humor, successive turns and honest exploration of human nature. His curiosity is piqued, build intrigue and delivered to an error-game that will have you making wild guesses about the identity of the kidnapper.
It is the second time the movie starts at breakneck speed, desperate impairs judgment, the characters are disturbed and all hell breaks loose. And only one man, a genius who is orchestrating everything, move the characters around like pawns in a chess game - Anurag Kashyap.
The film never stops, as it is full of cursing approach dialogues or take-no-prisoners depicting violence, culminating in the final noir-like anger and surprise people, equally. It's nice to see a robust thugish thanks to cinematographer Nikos Andritsakis. Ugly is competent in all technical service, since the release of all primary and secondary to the abridged edition that never lets drag movie characters.
An area in which Kashyap deserves special mention is the removal of superlative performances from a cast mainly non-celebrity. Rahul Bhat, a supporting role in films long forgotten grade B, plays a struggling actor who is desperate to find his kidnapped daughter, and plays his role with panache. He is convincing in the worst immense and reveals the best in a performance that is certainly noticed. Ronit Roy, the most recognizable face in the film is fascinating, brutal police without meaning, which is not afraid the crap out of everyone who beat you angry ..
Tejaswani Kolhapure as the deranged woman with terrible taste in men and Vineet Kumar Singh as doubtful friend is the other notable performances in a film full of great exhibition of acting talent by even the most minor characters.
In the end, ugly is a priceless little gem of a film that above almost everything you've seen this year, head and shoulders. It is well and truly the baby Anurag Kashyap, one can not help but fall in love with. Come on, it ended the year with a bang by doing a good deed and seeing this fast-paced thriller india.
