Superlative performances, impressive story-telling and brilliant cinematography are some of the many key elements that make Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly possibly the best dark thriller in Indian cinema.
After much controversy and more than a year long delay, Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly released at last. And what a film it has turned out to be. I won’t keep you waiting till the last line to tell you this is one film that you shouldn’t miss.
A struggling actor Rahul (Rahul Bhatt) is in search of his 10-year-old daughter Kali, who goes missing from the crowded market area in Delhi. Rahul’s friend and Casting Director (Vineet Kumar) helps him to locate Kali. Kali’s mother (Tejaswini Kolhapure) is a suicidal alcoholic, divorced from Rahul and now married to cop (Ronit Roy) who is investigating the case. His subordinate (Girish Kulkarni) helps him solving the case. Anurag has weaved the story well to make it appear like a whodunit thriller but as the story progress, you know it’s not that. It’s about the principal characters and their ugly motives.
Kali’s kidnapping issue is certainly an eye-opener as to how irresponsible a parent could be while handling his child but more importantly Kashyap’s characters showcases their ugly side and selfish motives taking into account the unfortunate incident and making the most out of it.
Anurag’s real interpretation of the basic human psyche comes to the fore through his protagonists who fails to locate Kali. Ronit and his squad leaves no stone unturned to locate Kali but all his attempts fail. Subconsciously, he starts assuming that Rahul who’s also in search of Kali would get some clue, while Rahul is quite hopeful of Ronit solving the case. On the other hand, Rahul’s friend – Casting Director, Surveen Chawla, Siddhant Kapoor and Tejaswini Kolhapure takes Kali’s kidnapping to their advantage, which forms the basic crux of Ugly.
The entire cast of the film has delivered a commendable performance. Ronit Roy as a strict and helpless cop stays with you well after the film is over. Roy once again packs a punch after a powerful performance in Udaan. He easily fits into Kashyap’s genre of filmmaking. Considered as Amitabh Bachchan of TV industry, Ronit has delivered the best understated performance of his career. Marathi actor Girish Kulkarni makes a fine acting debut as Ronit’s subordinate. Girish scores well in the scene where Rahul and Vineet hastily arrive in the police station to file Kali’s missing complaint and how Girish annoys them instead of filing the complaint. Girish has a commanding screen presence. Rahul Bhatt plays his part with conviction and Tejaswini Kolhapure as Ronit’s wife breathes life into her character. Surveen and Siddhant don’t have much to do in this slick thriller but still they leave a lasting impression.
The story has skillfully lightened up by the excellent of humour wherever possible. The film is well made. The script and screenplay is terrific. The cinematography is innovative. The editing makes the film crisp.
Watch Ugly for the love of cinema. It’s certainly another masterpiece exploring Kashyap’s cinematic excellence.
