Kuttey

This is a prime example of how bad direction can screw up even good storyline and screenplay. The ensemble cast played their roles properly, though the dark lighting makes it difficult to see the facial expressions of some of the actors. This movie has hired lot of good actors but failed to harness their full potential. I would say that the direction of the movie and its presentation could have been better. Introducing the cast in a hurry and then tracing back their motivation and story is not a good strategy. It almost feels like there are so many jump cuts which could have been easily avoided if a more linear storytelling format had been adopted. Overall, this is a one time watch. Kudos to the editor for keeping it short.

Dogs are filing pawtitions and pawsuits everywhere to misuse their name in their sh-ittier than rot-ten shi-t movie. Aasmaan Bharadwaj had everything - papa's money, decent budget, awesomest starcast, decent music, but what he did? He marinated them with rot-ten non-existent plot, directionless direction and decades old same old non-creative story. Clearly he didn't inherit any talent from his extremely talented parents just like Arjun Kapoor. And why on the earth he had to take Arjun Kapoor as a lead? Arjun Kapoor can turn any gold to rat-shi-t. 2 hours of my time that I am never getting back. Wish I was allowed to throw rotten tomatoes and stones on the screen! Seriously, what did I just watch????

Trailer is more entertaining than the film. The excellent - Phir Dhan Te Nan - song is only in the background. Aasmaan was provided with an amazing cast and crew - thanks to Daddy. He tried to do a Tarantino with it and failed. I guess, he did not learn from his father. Arjun as usual disappoints. All the veterans try their best - but are given paper thin characters and absurd dialogues. If Kaminey was a Picasso, Kuttey is a crayon drawing by a 3 year old.

One single sequence - Moong Ki Daal - in the 109 minutes long movie is amusing. If given another chance, my advice to Aasman would be to watch his dad's movies again before saying - Action.

So for the sake of timepass I went for this movie starring Lord Arjun Kapoor and other brilliant starcasts like Kumud Mishra, Tabbu, Konkana Sen, Naseerudin Shah, Radhika Madan,Ashish Vidyarthi etc. But After completion of this movie I felt little bit cheated from the angle of powerful starcasts and their utilizations. So I would love to say that, all such powerful casting were under utilized and make them uncomfortable to bark those bad words which was completely unnecessary. So in simple terms, you can leave this movie because it didn't impacted that much to the new age audiences despite having a good potential dark comedy plot and well known stars in it.

1st half of the movie was totally flat and just going here and there with it's storyline, But the 2nd part of the movie was interesting and the way the director connected all characters and their storyline in a single line was worth commending. Music was used properly and the screenplay was extremely tight so boring elements were little less. And the pre climax fight and the ultimate climax everything was cold and average. Modi ji's cameo was good and to the point as well. But somehow this complete plot was not that convincing for me. Even I will not consider it as timepass watch, you can leave or just go for once without having any expectations.

From my side it will be 5 Out of 10 Stars for it and It's definitely not a movie to go with family..

By definition "noir" genre in cinema refers to a movie with action at night mainly in dimly lit areas, plotting in shady night clubs with desperate and grey characters dealing with a corrupt system Most such movies have an intricate plot with more focus on cinematography, editing, sound and less focus on the narrative. Such movies have loud background music and pulsating/ rock music. The characters generally have a fatal fascination for daring action and eliminating adversies in a cruel manner. Keeping all this in mind this movie qualifies as noir cinema but not without its aberrations and shortcomings.

There is an ensemble of desperados, rather three groups consisting of both cops and criminals ( guys and dolls) who are after a van full of money unmindful of each other's mission. At one stage they face each other with cocked guns ready to fire on each other. The narrative is jerky and inconsistent but the pace is fast. Its all about greed for money, betrayal, back stabbing , blood, bullets, shady hotels and shadier deals.( As per the title the characters behave like dogs but surprisingly dogs are loyal and faithful which these characters are definitely not.) The plot line is divided into chapters like sab ka malik ek, Aati kya Canada ?, moong ki dal etc which does make things interesting. There is a" frog and scorpion" story told by one character indicating that a scorpion will bite whatever the circumstances because of its slimy character. An oblique reference to the desperate characters of the movie.

Director Aasmaan Bharadwaj in his debut assignment has done what his dad does best and maybe outdone him in parts . The signature tune of " Kaminey" keeps repeating throughout. There is some excellent cinematography and music to match the mood of the movie. An ensemble of top actors have pitched in to give fine performances. Finally the movie is too dark for average audiences and may prove off putting. Noir cinema is not for everyone.
