Victimized and exploited by the neon-lit dreamy world of pleasure & passion, middle-class aspirations & expectations for a better life often find a road going nowhere but to a convinced end near the dark dell of death.

Ajay Bahl's erotic but sensitive adult-thriller B.A.PASS dares to replicate-recreate a modern-day 'quite harsh & dark in reality' real world set in the Pahargunj area of Delhi, celebrated or rather infamous for banned provisions of ideas to get high on life. Prostitution and sex-rackets is just one of them and also the premise of the film that hasn't been touched before on such brutal level.

Adopted from a short story 'The railway Aunty' by Mohan Sikka, it is a saddening story of a young man who, after losing his parents in an accident, is now bound to live with his 'not so-kind' aunt. To make things worst, purposely he becomes a sex-slave to a sensuously attractive lady of seduction. The game of passion & pleasure that too with so much of easy money involved in it, soon lands him in the darker and deeper world of male prostitution. The more colorful it looks in night, the more drained & hollowed it sounds in daylight.

Beautifully shot, smartly conceived, nicely written and confidently performed by first-timer Shadab Kamal & the immensely impressive and bold Shilpa Shukla make it an honest effort that touches you with its bravura but brutal portrayal of sex, seduction, depression, desperation, dejection, oppression and betrayal. Divyendu Bhattcharya & Rajesh Sharma provides a good supporting cast. Deepti Naval in her 2-scene guest appearance leaves a mark.

But at the last, it is Ajay Bahl who impresses you with his confident take on the story to create a sensitive thriller out of it, rather than lurching on making it a sleazy sex-drama. Though the aesthetically shot love-making scenes are an essential part but sometimes they look just a distraction from the gritty story-line.

Subject may sound as a pleasurable watch but I would not misguide you as the sensuously bold posters of the film suggest you. It is a film of merits but not for masses who fancy tickling in the lower part of body more than sensing 'staying for long' bleak human emotions.

A movie so great that it simply blows your heads off. Every character is grey. No one is moral and every body is a victim of circumstances.

The film is the pinnacle of movie making. the sheer audacity, rawness, and unrealistically realistic treatment creates magic on screen. and believe me one time is not good enough.Director Ajay Bahl has handled sexuality in a very mature manner, without being sensationalist.

I'm the kind of person who watches movies for their rawness and realism.Udaan,Dev.D,Gangs of Wasseypur,Shaitan and Kaminey are among my favourites.Now I'll add B.A Pass to my list.

Don't miss this one!

No pun intended and not that many colors to be honest. The rest is sort of "if you know, you know". But that aside, let me say up front that I am quite surprised by how the movie tackles certain things. Do not expect nudity in this, but just the fact that it does engage in erotic situation alone ... I did not expect that at all.

I mean a movie that has to put a disclaimer (while the movie is running on the bottom of the screen), that smoking is bad for your health ... well you know you can't really do everything or rather show everything. Although violence does not seem to be an issue here either. Not that there is too much of it. But certain scenes may offend you ... depending on your thresshold and how sensitive you are of course. The ending is a bit of shocker ... and may make you give this a point more than I did.

First of all for sensitive people this is not a good movie to watch because at the first half and hour of this movie it seems like a erotic thriller but as the movie progresses it's becomes clear that this movie will not have a happy ending. It's admirable how well the director has captured the elements of human emotions in this movie.where the director have shown how a person can decay emotionally and physically when that person is pressured to a breaking point. sexual exploitation,violence,betrayal and the never ending struggle to find money is shown through a gradual process masterfully.when it comes to acting a special note should be made where the main actor has acted in a way which has captured the hearts and minds of the audience.where as the movie progresses even the audience can feel the frustrations that main protagonist goes through and that is just good acting. Overall this is not the most easiest movie to watch and you will not have a good time watching this movie but if a person wants a proper idea how hard life can be this is the movie to watch.
