Ugly Movie Review
Review By : Sarit Ray Rating : 4/5 Site : Hindustantimes	Kashyap himself isn't one to chase endings. While he keeps the mystery alive, he's using the premise to push his characters into revealing their true selves - to themselves, and to those around them. He's not dealing with unreal heroes who rise to the occasion, solve intricate puzzles and save the day. These are people with frailties, and a capacity for evil. Of course, Kashyap exaggerates, focusing purely on what's dark in them, and in the world that made them that way - even to the point of negating hope or the capacity for good. But then, this is a nightmare. And his Mumbai, with its squalid slums, covert dance bars, and shuttered single-screen theatres, forms a worthy backdrop. Visit Site For Full Review
Review By : Saibal Chatterjee Rating : 3/5 Site : NDTV	A 10-year-girl, left alone in a car in a busy Mumbai neighbourhood, disappears. Her actor-father and his casting agent-friend go to a nearby police station to lodge a complaint. What ensues is by far the best-written scene in Anurag Kashyap’s Ugly, a disquieting noir thriller that hinges on a slew of dodgy characters prone to dangerous temptations. Visit Site For Full Review
Review By : Arunava Chatterjee Rating : NA Site : Intoday	Kashyap takes us on a suspense ride right from the very first frame. The plot revolves around the kidnapping of a 10-year-old girl Kali (Anshikaa Shrivastava). Her father (Rahul Bhat) approaches the police, but gets mocked at by the cop (Girish Kulkarni).

Review By : Shomini Sen Rating : Site : 4/5 IBN live	The scene almost makes the viewer impatient. And that's a quality only filmmaker Anurag Kashyap - to highlight irrelevance in a relevant scene and build it up to such an extent that the viewer starts feeling impatient along with the characters in the scene. Kashyap has done this in his previous films like 'Gangs Of Wasseypur'- when during a crucial scene the three characters discuss how to cook jackfruit while following a target to kill him point blank.

Review By : Bollywood Hungama Rating : 2/5 Site : Bollywood Hungama	The plot of UGLY revolves around Bhatt's 10 year old girl Kali's disappearance from his car. Kali's mom (Tejaswini Kolhapuri) is lost in her world of alcohol and pills. Her second husband (Ronit Roy) is a tough cop who has a propensity for tapping her mobile phone and he also relishes torturing Bhatt. Ransom calls start doing the rounds with inexplicable participation from various characters in the film. The free flowing usage of expletives and gory torturing starts to bother after a point of time. Visit Site For Full Review
Review By : Raja Sen Rating : 4.5/5 Site : Rediff	And the cop wants to know about smartphones and caller display pictures. It is best, you think, to just show him so he can stop picking needlessly at this minor detail, so you decide to take a picture of him. At which point this Inspector straightens his policeman peak-cap and poses for the phone camera. Visit Site For Full Review
Review By : Surabhi Redkar Rating : 4/5 Site : Koimoi	A 10-year-old Kali goes missing in a bustling street after being left in the car by her father Rahul, who is a struggling actor. Thus, follows a story of kidnapping, ransom and a string of grim characters who come under the radar of the police. As Kali’s step-father, a cop, takes on the mission to find this little girl, he encounters a lot on his way including his current wife’s ex-husband and his college enemy Rahul.

Review By : Sweta Kaushal Rating : 4.75/5 Site : Hindustantimes	Ugly does not have over-loaded music, loud background or any of those cliches most Bollywood films survive on. And, without the help of any of these formuale, it still manages to put across its message. Ugly traces a week into the lives of people around a ten-year-old girl Kali (Anshika Shrivastava) who is kidnapped. Unlike Kashyap's movies, Ugly does not have too much of political and social innuendos. This one is about human follies and emotions. Visit Site For Full Review
Review By : Shubhra Gupta Rating : 2/5 Site : Indianexpress	‘Ugly’ takes that darkness to an extreme, even more so that his first, unreleased ‘Paanch': a little girl goes missing, and what happens subsequently (and consequently) does not just flow from the fear and anguish that result from the disappearance, but also from anger and old resentment and twisted feelings and present torment.

Review By : Bryan Durham Rating : 4/5 Site : DNA India	A 10-year-old girl disappears. Everybody (her divorced parents included) becomes a suspect in a possible kidnapping case. Will a tough-as-nails police chief (also the girl's stepfather) crack the case in time? 'I only want lead roles' actor Rahul Kapoor (Bhat) picks up his beti Kali (Shrivastava) for his weekly visit. Hours before, his ex-wife, a stay-at-home mom Shalini (Kolhapure) has a gun in her mouth and would've pulled the trigger had her daughter not knocked on the door. Visit Site For Full Review
