Akshay Kumar's much anticipated production, Fugly, has finally hit the screens on the 13th of June, 2014. Starring an ensemble cast including debutants Kiara Advani and Vijender Singh, while the film has constantly hit the news owing to Akki as a brand, let's find out how far has director Kabir Sadanand managed to stand up to his take of narrating, four friends and their misled lives through Fugly.
Firstly, a quick brush up through the film's plot. 'Fugly' recites a story of four friends -- Dev, Devi, Gaurav and Aditya. This foursome is portrayed as carefree brats from the capital of India. Everyone has their own individual dreams to fulfill, but sadly, they get trapped in a net created by a police inspector Chautala Chautala makes their life miserable and what happens next is what the entire film is all about.
Aah, now doesn't this remind you of films like Fukrey and Rang De Basanti? Well, it hoped to smell by the same essence but unfortunately, it barely delivers anything to stun, surprise or fall in love! The first half takes a lot of time in establishing the plot and once that gets settled, the second half keeps dragging with super weak and uninteresting screenplay. Except for a couple of good visual locations of Leh-Laddak and a hand full of good scenes, well, Fugly just stands as a depressing buffet with no food, no meat! Performance wise, while Mohit Marwah looks cool, sadly, he fails to act. And the same goes with Kiara and Vijendra Singh too! Sigh!
To sum it up, Fugly might impress a few young brigades for its newer cast but for the rest, it's a plain bore and will make your weekend go wasted! The film could have done much better with a stronger plot!
On the rating scale, we at Bollywood Uncut give it 2 stars on 5! For more Bollywood updates, do like this video and stay tuned to Bollywood Uncut!
