- Actually, this film is a great example of a well-received, somewhat controversial movie. It deals with corruption and the politics of a children's party. While not universally loved, it was critically acclaimed for its original storyline.
In Bollywood, "ugly" often refers to the visual assault of the 1980s and late 90s, where "art direction" meant painting everything neon and dressing villains in strange leather outfits.
The "hero" finally appeared. He was a drunkard named Nirmal, played by a once-popular star who had clearly lost a bet. Nirmal had a skin condition (lots of prosthetic boils) and a habit of screaming poetic lines like, "This city is a rotting intestine!" into the camera. His dialogue delivery was so slow that the subtitles finished ten seconds before he did.
- This film had a storyline that explored themes of friendship, love, and dealing with cancer. It received mixed reviews, with some critics finding it overly sentimental.
