Rating:1.5/5 Review By:Saibal Chatterjee Site:NDTV

As the villain in uniform, Jimmy Sheirgill is neither menacing nor convincing. The fault isn’t entirely his – the role is just too badly written. Can boxing champ Vijender Singh act? To be charitable, he gives the assignment his best shot, but he is unlikely to win any medals for the effort. His punches are anything but killer blows. Mohit Marwah, in the guise of the angry young man, shows occasional flashes of promise.But saddled with a role that literally yokes him to a hospital bed, there isn’t much he can do to rise above the mess. Kiara Advani does a fair job of looking pretty. She also gets some of the better lines to spout. Let’s stop being stupid, she intones at a point of the film when things threaten to turn really corny. Fugly simply can’t help it.

For film critics, movies like Fugly is nothing less than traumatic. A bunch of haywire newbies find themselves lost in a plot that is ridiculous and lame which kills you by the end. If by God’s grace you survive the slang talk and sleaze show, the climax murders you. In a typical Rang De Basanti weds Highway climax done in all seriousness, there is no scope to laugh at it either. It is a plain, flat and bad film that must be avoided under every circumstance.

The performances are strong, with Kiara Advani and Jimmy Sheirgill leading the pack. Mohit Marwah makes a confident debut, interpreting his character with insight and conviction. He has this amazing intensity which gels well with his character. Vijender Singh has screen presence and surprises you with an effective portrayal. Arfi Lamba underplays his part well and maintains the grip over his performance all through. On the whole, FUGLY is relatable that portrays several episodes that mirror the realities and the problems the youth encounter in the present times. A decent entertainer!

Rating:4/5 Review By:Subhash K Jha Site:IANS

"Fugly" is the cinema of social awakening. It tackles issues such as gay prostitution, khaki-clad fascism and the excess of television journalism, perhaps cramming in too many social issues in order to make the subject relevant and resonant. And yet nowhere does the director seem to bite into more than he can chew. The ending will shock and move audiences. Two of the actors Mohit Marwah and Kiara Advani are star material. Their on screen relationship remains undefined, unpunctuated by the mandatory item song. This film possesses a very rare virtue. A conscience.
