Ugly aur Pagli - Notepad

Ugly aur Pagli

quick review: The mysteries of love, and the things it makes you do, are not so easy to articulate. As we find out in Ugly aur Pagli. The uneven pace kills this time.

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

Kabir (Ranveer Shorey) meets Kuhu (Mallika Sherawat). He saves her life. They become friends. Then they have to part ways, etc., etc., etc.

What Worked

  • The titles that try to set the theme of the movie - of how opposites attract.
  • The reactions of the people in the pizza place/cafĂ© whenever Kuhu does something crazy.
  • Captions of Ranvir's T-shirts - they somehow referred to the situation at hand.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • Why is Kabir wearing so many layers of clothes in Bombay!?
  • The exaggeration of how much she drinks. And then suddenly she stops!!
  • Now why does one who wants to be away from Mumbai's crowd and buzz go to Kolkata?!
  • When Hemal found Kabir so easily, why did Kuhu have to look all over town?

Nitty-Gritty

This section lists things that I think are not important to the overall impact of the movie. In most cases, it could be explained away by something like, "we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule/budget issues and thus we could not re-shoot it". I like giving the makers the benefit of doubt, but I am amused nevertheless. Hopefully, they will tickle you too.

  • Why weren't they using a lift in the hotel?

Dinesh:

I think this movie is copy of a super duper Korean romantic movie "My Sassy Girl"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293715/.

Even till now I haven't seen the movie Ugly aur Pagli but from the review and trailer I am sure this story is taken from there.

anonymous:

This is a complete copy of a korean movie called "my sassy girl"...well except for the insertion of the song and dance numbers evident in ample in 99.5% of bollywood movies!..wonder when the industry is going to come up with original fresh and something different story...!!
