User Reviews

A Decent Effort!

'Fugly' is a well-intentioned film, that delivers a noble message, that being, off fighting for what's right. Its A Decent Effort! Its not perfect, but not without merit either.

'Fugly' tells the story of 4 friends - Dev, Gaurav, Aditya & Devi, whose fun filled & care free life comes to an abrupt halt, when they are pitted against an extremely corrupt Police Officer.

'Fugly' has a super first-hour, where the light-moments & the dramatic moments, both, work well. In the second-hour, the film begins to slip. The desired impact seems missing & even the series of events its characters encounter, are ordinary. Even the culmination, for that matter, is half-baked. In short, 'Fugly' starts off pretty well, but runs out of gas after a while.

The Screenplay is decent, but overall, the narrative isn't as hard-hitting as expected. Kabir Sadanand's Direction is fair. Cinematography, Editing & Action-Sequences, are alright. Music by Various Artists, is good.

Performance-Wise: Mohit Marwah does a decent job. Vijender Singh is strictly okay. Arfi Lamba is efficient. Kiara Advani is the pick of the lot. She looks gorgeous & delivers a highly competent performance. Mansha Bahl is very cute. But its Jimmy Shergill who steals the show. He's excellent as the villainous, corrupt cop.

On the whole, 'Fugly' is a fair entertainer.
