Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
paul2001sw-1 Making semi-pornographic horror movies in Mumbai in the 1980s was apparently not easy: you needed to pay the police to turn a blind eye, and your available sources of finance weren't necessarily so benign either. 'Miss Lovely' tells the story of two brothers caught up in the industry, one of whom makes two linked errors: he falls in love, and he begins to dream of making a genuinely romantic film with the woman he's fallen for. It sounds like it could be a good film, but mainly, I found it confusing and chaotic - in part, this is intentional (as the world portrayed is also confusing and chaotic), but the lack of clarity and detail in the plotting is ultimately off-putting, and the ending a little abrupt and unfounded. The subject remains promising; but awaits a better treatment.
Maria d'souza The film is definitely a game changer in Indian cinema, especially in terms of style and storytelling method. It's like a big messy, juicy novel – loads of different characters, stories, intertwining plots, open ended parts. Of course, I have friends who have complained that the story is too messy, there are too many different "styles", you can't get into it like a "normal" movie – but I tend to disagree, and think that's the point – it is a TOTAL IMMERSION in cinema – with all it's reality and loose ends. It doesn't tie anything up neatly and that could disturb some viewers – it lets it all hang out. But that's what I loved. And I guess finally it's up to individual taste. More disturbing to some is the dark second half – the film is unsparing in it's criticism of the police, the way the jail scenes are shot, and is very bleak when it comes to notions of love and romance. The end is as bleak as it is funny (very dark humour, mind you)– it's like a Bollywood movie with it's innards ripped out. Ending with a song – it's probably the best (and most pessimistic) ending I've seen in a long time.
lindsay columbus Brilliant...just brilliant. An exhilarating movie experience which demands to be seen only on big screen for its rustic visuals which takes you straight into raw and rugged heartland. Very very entertaining as well and suspense keeps you to the edge of the seat throughout. At times it made me feel i was born in 1960's. Though not for people with faint-heart, Nawaz bleeds excellence in almost every frame and every scene. An epic and brutal saga spanning over decades and generations.Watching Nawaz on big screen wasn't just watching a movie but an experience. An experience which also proves Ashim Ahluwalia as the face of new age Indian cinema after Miss lovely.
jospeh harle Bollywood movies are generally based on fantasy and imagination. Where the audience is made familiar with the characters which he 'wishes' to be.Miss Lovely Adopts a different Approach.It makes the Audience identify with reality and makes familiar with the characters that 'are' around him.The movie has penetrating dialogues, harsh naked truth characters and language. Nawaz with the character 'Sonu' was awesome.The movie was brilliant in first half. One needs to watch the movie carefully.
