MUSIC: was composed by Ankit Tiwari, Mithoon & Raghav Sachar.The songs "Katra Katra","Awaara"  were good.

Poor script.Ghost effects are not impressive. Suspense,thrilling incidents are lagging.

BYOMKESH PHIRE ELO: is an  Indian thriller film on Bengali fictional detective Byomkesh Bakshi directed by Anjan Dutt featuring Abir Chatterjee,Saswata Chatterjee, Ushasie Chakraborty,Biswajit Chakraborty,Chandan Sen ,Kaushik Sen,Ankita Chakraborty,Rahul Banerjee,Ena Saha, Sampurna Lahiri.This is the third installment of Byomkesh series By Anjan Dutt.

PERFORMANCES: Abir as Byomkesh is very good as usual.I think he should continue portraying the character of Byomkesh.He fits in this role very much.Saswata in a cameo role again proves his ability.But Kaushik Sen is just brilliant as drunk,gambler son in law Gangadhar. Ankita as Medini,wife of Meghraj is also good.

Though the story is good,Anjan Dutt also shines again as director.Detailing,background score,sets are good.This is best Byomkesh film among the Byomkesh series directed by Anjan Dutt.

Overall,Byomkesh Phire Elo is a good film & is a must watch film.

N.B: Personally I feel that this time(for the 1st time also),the representation of Anjan Dutt in Byomkesh Phire Elo  is better than Sandip Roy in Badshahi Angti.

Overall PK is a must watch film.Probably this is not Hirani's best film but it has elements of full entertainment.

PERFORMANCES: Ronit Roy was very very good.Rahul Bhat,Vineet Singh,Tejaswini were also good.But Girish Kulkarni as Inspector Jadhav was the best.

This film consists of a perfect thriller script,wonderful cinematography,sharp editing,brilliant performance,good direction,excellent background score.Credit for that also goes to Anurag Kashyap who sticks to the plot and uses all the talent he hired to put this film together.
The director has perfectly executed Ugly side of human relations.

Overall,Ugly is one of the finest movies of 2014 & its a must watch film.Its a dark film.So don't expect masala entertainment from this film.
