"Ungli (उंगली)"

Watched Hindi movie "Ungli (उंगली)". Story, screenplay and direction Rensil D'silva. Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar and Karan Johar of Dharma productions. Music is by Aslam Keyi, John Stewart, Gulraj Singh. It stars Kangana Ranaut, Randeep Hooda, Angad Bedi, Neil Bhoopalam, Imran Hashmi, Neha Dhupia, Sanjay Dutt and Raza Murad. Guest appearance Shraddha Kapur, Arunoday Singh. The film runs for about 1 hour 58 min and was released in 2014. 

A medical intern, a mechanic, a Computer shop owner and a crime reporter are fed up with the corruption in the system and decide to take matters in hand and punish the bureaucrats and politicians. Public enthusiastically names them Ungli gang. Police wants to unmask them and assign the case to Sanjay and Imran.

Can police apprehend Ungli gang? Why did Ungli gang become vigilante? Will they be content with punishing petty government employees or they have a larger target?

The story is simple. The reason for the friends becoming Ungli gang is not portrayed powerfully. The story has a flow but the story and its handling appears superficial. This movie could have been made profound but director missed the opportunity.

There are some obvious flaws / errors. Why would a corrupt police officer offer a plum position to honest officer and ask him to pay bribe? Why would one make a graffiti on the wall of HQ, that can become a proof against them? Why would one paint Ungli graffiti on open terrace at the gang rendezvous? Does everyone use saliva to count money?

Kangana had a limited role and is mostly wasted. Randeep and Angad make an impact. Neil is OK. Imran has got an unnecessary kissing scene based on his reputation rather than story. Sanjay is decent. The movie had one hit song.

Watch if you have a free afternoon and don't want to go out. Not a must watch.
