Courtesy IBN LIVE Thought of an Audience about Ugly kind of cult movies Breaking the cardinal Bollywood rule of happy endings: Fine, Kashyap sir. You got us hooked. Intrigued, even. We were suffering throughout the film, trying to figure out who could have kidnapped the adorable little girl at the beginning of Ugly. Our suspicion moved from her father, to her mother, to her step-father, her fathers friend, his girlfriend, the little girls careless uncle and back to her father and mother. But why oh why couldnt you have made the ending of Ugly a little predictable? Why did you have to make it so confoundingly real, cruel and heart-breaking? How will the Hindi film audience, whos watched films like Action Jackson, Humshakals Samrat & Co. and Entertainment be expected to digest something so...gruesome? You do realise that these viewers are the same people who flock to see films like Happy New Year and Kick, right? Were sure by now you must have realised that this is just our passive-aggressive way of saying that Ugly is one of the finest films weve seen in Bollywood. And it is our job to watch films and write about them. But we are still not sure how the audience will react to a film like this, though. Real, honest, no frills, no creative liberties...perhaps the Indian audience might find it too real for comfort. Or maybe, just maybe, the audience will realise that Kashayps Ugly is a direct reflection of our society, and that by watching it, well get to know something more about ourselves. But one thing is for sure, Kashyap sir. If you continue on this cinematic path, youll have a long, long walk to the coveted Rs 100 crore club.
