Fugly (film)

Fugly (or "F*UGLY", as it appears on the poster) is a 2014 Indian Hindi language comedy-drama social thriller film directed by Kabir Sadanand and produced by Ashvini Yardi and Alka Bhatia.

The film features Jimmy Sheirgill, Mohit Marwah, Vijender Singh, Arfi Lamba and Kiara Advani.

As the medics and reporters rush into the room, they find Dev dead, and it appears as if Chautala has killed him.

Chautala attempts to blackmail Gaurav's father in an isolated region but is shot dead by his colleague.

[9] Subhash K. Jha gave it 4 stars, writing "Fugly is cinema of social awakening.

"[10] Faheem Ruhani of India Today wrote "The four young actors do not leave much of a mark with their acting abilities in a script which is befuddled with hackneyed plot points and unimpressive dialogues.

Jimmy Sheirgill is the only actor who manages to leave an impact with his dunk-on-power Haryanvi cop act.

Fugly could have been a better film but in spite of its noble Rang De Basanti intentions it is nothing but frubbish.

"[11] Conversely, Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 1.5/5, writing "It begins with a hint of promise, and it could have gone down some paths less travelled.

"[12] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave the film 2 stars out of 5, writing ″As writer Rahul and director Kabir try to stir up Rang De Basanti-style patriotism, Fugly becomes more and more preposterous.
