F*UGLY - the name itself promises a lot - a movie that would be different from the rest. A youth centric film - not that I am much gung-ho about them given the lackluster story in Student of the Year, Yaarian and the likes. Also, the soundtrack one had heard on radio wasn't bad.
The opening shot hinted that the movie would focus on the dark side of Delhi - one which treats women as mere objects. The shot of the self-immobilizing man at India Gate gave a hope that the movie would have a social angle to it - probably it would be youth against eve teasing in Delhi or the likes, but all these thoughts were soon to be shattered by by a poor script and raw acting.
The very next shot at the hospital with journalists interviewing the burnt man and asking him absurd questions even before he is provided medical care was height of stupidity.
The movie soon veers away from its focus on eve teasing to a dangerous game between four friends, one of whom is the son of a minister (Vijender Singh) and a tough cop (played by Jimmy Shergill), who is pissed off at Vijender for beating him up over an argument.
The entire movie revolves around how Jimmy tries to force these youth into doing whatever he wants by levelling false allegations against them to the extent that one of them is forced to self immobilize himself as the act would lend credibility to his words and generate public sympathy.
Overall, it is a thoughtless movie. Avoid if you can.
