Kalyug (2005)

Bhatt films are known for their skin but many times they do have good stories which may not be original but yet must admit they are at times good films like Gangster. Kalyug which released alongwith the trash by YRF Neal N Nikki and EK AJNABEE which did average business, Kalyug performed better but not much as expected. The film is set in the porn industry and the main story does seem real especially the problems in Kunal's life. The film starts off as a routine love story with songs but changes geers effectively, the shocking twist is well handled, Kunal's search for justice may seem filmy and hard to digest but it's well handled. Amrita Singh's scenes are well handled too.Emraan's character may seem filmy but it does seem vital in the plot. The way Kunal goes about in Zurich may not seem real enough but yet for the vendetta it seems well handled, however Ashutosh Rana's profile does seem inconsistent. The pre-climax is well handled and also the climax.Direction by Mohit Suri is good Music is decent, Jiya Dhadak is seeped in melody and made Rahat Fateh Ali Khan a noticeable face after Paap, Jhuda Hoke is a nice number though copied from Jal with rights unlike Chocolate.Kunal Khemmu seen as a child artist and known for his performances in Zakhm is superb in his main role, his expressions, dialogue delivery and everything is topnotch though he did look a bit too skinny for his debut yet a great performance for a debut. Smilie Suri is okay, Deepal Shawl is raw but leaves a mark Emraan Hashmi does a good supporting act, Amrita Singh made an effective comeback though at times she does ham it up Ashutosh Rana has an ill defined role but does a good job Rest are okay.

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.

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!

dear movie lovers. before i write something about this film, i have to say: i hope that this is not a remake of some other American movie, i have'not seen. it would be a shame because of it's freshness.OK let's talk about this film. the story is about " human-trafficking" a very delicate subject especially in Asia. you have to approach a story with such a heavy subject in a subtle way.the story is actually divided in three chapters. the first and the last are simply amazing. chapter 2 lacks the subtle way a little.but why complain , this is a heavy duty subject, packed in a exceptional- entertaining way without getting ridiculous, with a brand new actor who can be measured with the likes of keanu reeves or Orlando bloom. And one of the finest villains i have seen in along time.its fresh its modern see this one
