paul2001sw-1 Making semi-pornographic horror movies in Mumbai in the 1980s was apparently not easy: you needed to pay the police to turn a blind eye, and your available sources of finance weren't necessarily so benign either. 'Miss Lovely' tells the story of two brothers caught up in the industry, one of whom makes two linked errors: he falls in love, and he begins to dream of making a genuinely romantic film with the woman he's fallen for. It sounds like it could be a good film, but mainly, I found it confusing and chaotic - in part, this is intentional (as the world portrayed is also confusing and chaotic), but the lack of clarity and detail in the plotting is ultimately off-putting, and the ending a little abrupt and unfounded. The subject remains promising; but awaits a better treatment.

meetali-joshi Miss Lovely is a baring tale of two brothers as producers in the C-grade Hindi film industry. The story portrays the relationship between the two brothers, intertwined in a love story with the backdrop of the pornographic film industry. Nawaz is probably the best thing that has happened to Hindi cinema and he does a commendable performance in playing the shy, vulnerable brother. His character along with the other characters keep the story moving. Anil George as the bully big brother and Niharika Singh as the innocent, naive girl too have given great performances in the movie and kept to their characters well. Each character was well cast which made the story even more interesting. There is no moment of boredom which makes the movie watchable till the end. You would probably associate this movie with "Boogie Nights" where the director Ashim takes you to a whole new different world, showing us the real picture of the pornographic industry through the characters. I would definitely recommend this movie to all the viewers.

Maria d'souza The film is definitely a game changer in Indian cinema, especially in terms of style and storytelling method. It's like a big messy, juicy novel – loads of different characters, stories, intertwining plots, open ended parts. Of course, I have friends who have complained that the story is too messy, there are too many different "styles", you can't get into it like a "normal" movie – but I tend to disagree, and think that's the point – it is a TOTAL IMMERSION in cinema – with all it's reality and loose ends. It doesn't tie anything up neatly and that could disturb some viewers – it lets it all hang out. But that's what I loved. And I guess finally it's up to individual taste. More disturbing to some is the dark second half – the film is unsparing in it's criticism of the police, the way the jail scenes are shot, and is very bleak when it comes to notions of love and romance. The end is as bleak as it is funny (very dark humour, mind you)– it's like a Bollywood movie with it's innards ripped out. Ending with a song – it's probably the best (and most pessimistic) ending I've seen in a long time.

genelia karter Bollywood movies are generally based on fantasy and imagination where the audience is made to relate with the characters on screen. Miss Lovely adopts a different approach. It opens a viewer's eye to the reality and familiarizes them with the characters around them. The movie has penetrating dialogues and harsh naked characters. Nawaz as the character 'Sonu' was awesome. The movie was brilliant in first half. One needs to watch this movie carefully as there are many plots and characters, almost like a novel, and it can get confusing sometimes. On second viewing though, it's very clear and you understand much of what is going on under the surface.
