As I had mentioned earlier in my preview,'Ugly aur Pagli' is based on the Korean film 'My Sassy Girl'.So,i decided to check
out the story of the 2001 Korean movie before watching our so-called 'inspired' Indian version.'My Sassy Girl' is about a
loser who meets a drunken girl one evening on his way back home.He takes the girl,who falls unconscious, to a hotel for the
night as he does not know where her house is. The story takes off from here as he gets a call from the girl the next day to
know what happened the last night. They meet again and again and become good friends. But the relationship is strange as
the girl is completely whacked out..And the guy just keeps trying to please her..Now after this little piece of gyaan,I
decided to check 'Ugly aur Pagli' out..turns out the movie is not just inspired but is a complete frame to frame copy of
the original.Just that the charecters in this case are called Kabir(Ranvir Shorey) and Kuhu(Mallika Sherawat).If you forget
about the fact that the movie is a 'copy' and actually look at it as a different movie all together,'Ugly aur Pagli' is
quite an intresting film..considering that it is a kind of love story that has'nt been seen on Indian screens before and for
the sheer freshness of the narration and the screenplay.But the script is too weak and leaves you with too many unanswered
questions.Debutante director Sachin Khot fails to impress,though the movie is very well shot,it fails to keep the viewer
hooked to his seat.The second half does get better but by then the whole attention-factor to the movie is lost.The movie
does manage to muster a few laughs in its course.Mallika Sherawat as Kuhu is just average and she does show that she is
absolutely horendous with emotional scenes.Ranvir Shorey is brilliant as usual and is certainly the actor to look out for in
the coming years minus his dance ofcourse..After watching the movie I really regret having rated Anu Malik' music as even
good.It has no relevance what-so-ever with the movie.
Overall 'Ugly aur Pagli' is an average movie.Watch it if you have nothing else to do.
Rating : 2/5
