Alicia I love this movie so much
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
i love you rao Well this is 1 hell of a ride. Love the dark cinematography, Gothic setting n style of sin city...Amazing backdrop of Switzerland, could have added more scenes there though, since the film was so short, barely 2 hrs.Minuses include the money logic of how Kunal landed with that much money to do all he did. And of course, this film follows the commercial bollywood route of a masala potbolier with few distinct villains to fight when pornography as a whole has many many operatives.So its basically a fictional account of a site called indiapassion.com and its widespread.Good entertainment, thought-provoking and more films like this should be made to create awareness and reach out to the public via its commercial elements. The kissing scenes of the first night scene could have been avoided though.
slumdog_crorepati Kalyug is one of those films that despite being better than 95% of Hindi films, was never going to do amazingly at the box-office simply due to the unknown lead cast, the theme of pornography and very confusing trailers that did nothing to entice viewers.The plot, starts off like a superspeed version of a typical Hindi film, ie: boy (Kunal) meets girl (Renuka), they fall in love, get married etc, but then comes the twist...In a midnight police raid, the newlyweds are arrested and interrogated separately about a video that has been released on the internet of their honeymoon night, police coercion tactics leading Renuka to believe that her husband is a sleazy pornographer, she commits suicide leaving her completely innocent husband distraught.Whilst out on bail, he manages to track down the creep responsible for the hidden camera in the hotel room (played by Ashutosh Rana), during the ensuing fight, the sleazeball loses his bag, which he leaves behind as he runs off onto a moving bus.Kunal finds in the bag, a large amount of cash, more videos of hidden camera porn and information related to a porn website being operated from Switzerland that specialises in this type of content hosted by an Indian pornstar "Annie" (Deepal Shaw). Kunal then flies off to Switzerland to settle the score. (Using some of the money from the bag... other reviewers seem to have been confused by this!) In Switzerland, he visits a sex shop to try and get some information about the pornstar "Annie" (Deepal Shaw), here he meets Emraan Hashmi, who works in the shop simply because they pay him... it's pretty much his take on life, "do anything for money". Unsurprisingly Kunal hires Emraan to help in his search for the people behind the website.We find out that Deepal Shaw's character is another victim of the porn industry as she was SOLD into it by her extended family in the aftermath of the Gujarat earthquake (another point that a few reviewers don't seem to have understood!) So now obviously we have the set up for the grandstand finale between the good and the bad.Amrita Singh is brilliant as the evil mastermind behind the website, her performance is outstanding as are many of the lines she is given. I won't give away exactly what happens with the ending, but needless to say, justice prevails! The movie may be a bit too long (a couple of Deepal's songs could really have been cut altogether), but then with Jiya Dhadak Dhadak and Aadat on the soundtrack, it's not possible to say the music was bad! Emraan's character is ripped off Joaqin Pheonix in the much darker "8mm", but I am definitely not saying the movie/plot is a copy, it clearly isn't! I recommend this to any fan of Hindi cinema who is looking for something that is truly a bit different.
fauzia_lala A movie worth watching. Unlike typical Hindi movies, this one is based on the most rising crime in contemporary India ... crime of shooting pornography films of oblivious married couples and circulating them illegally. This movie is fast paced and goes directly to its point. It revolves around aspects that is the most important for the audience to know. Aspects such as, what kind of people are involved in the business, what makes it successful, the reasons for such video production, success and so forth. An educational movie, I would say. Besides, it is a decent entertaining movie as well. The series of events and its strong bond to reality makes it worth watching. I mention its bond with reality because most of us refuse to face certain facts of our life and live on with it. This movie definitely highlights the life of a person who lived a life most of us do and the emphasizes on how he fought for reality and tried to make his life worth living even after all the difficulties he goes through. Well directed, inspirational, educational and entertaining. A must watch!
Unknown Person This movie in my opinion, was great. KUNAL KHEMU makes an awesome adult debut and does it very well. His looks, acting, and hair just stole my heart. Yes, there were a few flaws in the movie that did not make sense; but the movie was good nevertheless.To begin with, KUNAL DARR (kunal khemu) is an ordinary guy who lives with his father. One day, he hears a shocking news that his father had expired in a train accident. He later starts working in a gym. One day, he receives a phone call. The caller, mistakingly thought that he was his father and told KUNAL that he had to pick up Renuka (SMILEY SURI). KUNAL tries to explain but it doesn't work.Nonetheless, he goes to the train station to pick RENUKA up and eventually brings her home. In one week's time, the two fall in love and get married. In the day of their marriage, KUNAL's friend gives him an invitation to spend their honeymoon in a hotel. Hence, the couple spends the night in the hotel, and unfortunately……their romance is caught in tape and made into a blue-film by hidden cameras. KUNAL and RENUKA are later arrested and charged for making blue-films. Unable to bear the embarrassment and confusion, RENUKA commits suicide in front of KUNAL'S eyes and he is terrified. KUNAL is now terrified. He explains to his lawyer his story and is able to get a bail. There, he seeks vengeance. Several clues leads him to Sin City, Switzerland. He encounters ALI (EMRAAN HASHMI) and hires him to find a porn star named ANNE (DEEPAL SHAW), whom he saw in the blue-film. However, after he finds her, he comes to know that she is a victim herself by the porn industry. After an earthquake in Gujarat (which was a stupid idea), she comes to live with her uncle. Her uncle sold many things to feed themselves. When it came to a day when there was nothing else to sell, he sells ANNE. She was forced into selling her body and doing other tragic things. With the help of ALI and ANNE, will KUNAL be able to capture the villain and the person who destroyed his love? What will happen to ANNE? What will happen to KUNAL? What will happen in the end? Well, watch the movie to find out. The performances by KUNAL was amazing for a newcomer. He really deserved best debutant award, but it was a hard decision since SHINY AHUJA also debuted in the same year. However, KUNAL KHEMU does have to work in his speech skills and his accent does have to be a little better. But, he sounds cute, nevertheless. SMILEY SURI is barely there, but does OK with the part she is given. For some reason, she looked bad in the film. DEEPAL SHAW is average, she plays her part well enough. AMRITA SINGH was fabulous. She looked so professional and acted great as the villain. EMRAAN HASHMI did good as well in his small sweet part. HE made the movie better to watch.Now, here comes the errors. In the movie, KUNAL is portrayed as a not-so-rich and ordinary guy. However, despite this how is it that he is able to hire a lawyer? Pay for RENUKA's tickets? Hire ALI? Give ANNE money? And the money was a big amount. This was the part that did not make sense.THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!! It was wonderful. I just loved ADAAT (both remix and original). ATIF ASLAM is just great. JIYA DHADAL DHADAK JAYE is also marvelous. RAHAT FATEH ALI KHAN is just amazing.OVERALL, I give this film a 8/10. IT'S A MUST WATCH. P.S. PEOPLE BEAWARE. THERE ARE HIDDEN CAMERAS IN ALMOST EVERYWHERE THESE DAYS.
