Cyrus Mistry: Katy was a piece of work. My eyes would rarely get past her swish of hip and bounce of breast. I would blush profusely and she would love it. Most people make eye-contact; Katy liked to make breast-contact every chance she'd get. Her tits were the front desk, her PR troops and they were oblivious to my discomfort.

Being Cyrus treads a dangerously fine line between darkness and humour, something never seen before in Indian cinema. Great film noir rarely gets better than this. It exploits the seedy local milieu through unusual locations around Mumbai and decaying Parsi household interiors, which are used to enhance the ambiance. This gives the film a strikingly distinctive look. The script is terrific. The characterizations and performances are superb. The nasty narration and dialogues in Indian English add to the fun. The climactic twist is most unexpected. This is definitely world class cinema, which should appeal to intelligent audiences everywhere. Strongly recommended!
