Suisade My theory, i think checks out if you analyse it in reverse. In one word mindfulness. On his way to prayogshala he's on autopilot, rejects coins given to him by a beggar. The contract had one rupee condition. "Mera bhai mar raha hai air aapko 1 repay ki fik at hai", K...Guru ji tells him to be very careful because it can cause him everything. Had he paid that coin (mindfulness), he'd be able to make the call to his shareer (body) from that dungeon.. SELF-AWARENESS is what i think he'd talk about.
silvan-desouza Anurag Kashyap is known for making abstract films, No Smoking is one of his most abstract films which is very complex to understand The film has a good concept and treated very differently and should be watched minutely.The film starts well and the way it executes it will not be understood on one watch.The way John's character unfolds is superbly, his scenes of frustration are all well handled, till the end it makes you confused but that was what Anurag was intending forDirection by Anurag Kashyap is good Music is okayJohn Abraham often criticised for his acts does a great job in this film, he plays the character perfectly, Ayesha annoys, Ranvir Shorey is okay, Paresh Rawal is amazing rest are okay
Chrysanthepop Inspired by movies made by auteurs like Kaufman, Lynch etc, Anurag Kashyap makes 'No Smoking'. Given the premise, which is very interesting, one would expect something stunning, especially since Kashyap has assumed director's seat. However, 'No Smoking' fails to meet up expectations. Kashyap's style of making, which is inspired by Kaufman's works, is impressive on the technical side. The editing, cinematography, lighting and special effects are very well done. Vishal Bhardwaj's score is terrific. Kashyap also succeeds in creating a tense and claustrophobic atmosphere but the main problem's are with the script and performances. The basic skeleton of the story treads the path of a traditional thriller where the writers later added elements of surrealism and symbolism. At the same time Kashyap tries to tackle too many themes but they all end up half-baked. John Abraham turns up with a truly abysmal performance. He is wooden to the core and wears one expression almost through the entire film. While Paresh Rawal's Baba Bangali lacks mystery and intrigue. Rawal repeats his hyperactive-chatterbox act. Ayesha Takia isn't given much scope. With movies like 'Black Friday', Anurag Kashyap has proved to be a more than capable film director. However, 'No Smoking' does not meet up with the standards.
