Here's a 'Bollywood' movie that breaks almost every possible trope that Hindi movies have and that too with what style and pizazz! Alas, it does so without paying much attention its script and therein lies the movie's weakness.The movie itself is an exploration of the shady underbelly of the Mumbai film industry by focusing on the tribulations of two brothers who are trying to make it 'big' but at the risk of losing everything they hold dear. At the same time, we as audience are given a glimpse into just how dirty, sleazy, crass, amoral and downright abhorrent the world of unorganized Bombay film industry is. What makes the movie so compelling is that it does this with great visual style that holds the viewer attention. So even when I was disgusted with what I was seeing, I was completely enrapt.At least for the first 30 minutes of the movie. Sadly, the plot and the script is loose, the dialogue is shoddy and the overall plot is meandering with multiple plot lines crisscrossing each other with not much attention paid to a single one. As a result, the movie as a story feels unsatisfactory. However, as a portrait into the B/C grade movie industry, it was fascinating. I have no idea of what's happening in Bollywood in 2018, but I do know the more things change, they remain the same. In that sense, this movie may as well be a description of what's happening even today - I wouldn't be suprised to learn that some flat in Byculla or Santacruz is being used right now as an impromptu studio for a shooting blue film with some hapless young girl lying naked, being exploited, dreaming of making it 'big' with strips of cocaine on the coffee table.PS: In a away, the lack of loose plot makes sense. IMDB's trivia page reveals that the movie was supposed to be a documentary but the makers felt they were getting too close to the industry which still has criminal elements associated with it. Risking for their lives, the movie makers decided to fictionalize the characters and make a movie instead.

Is it a veryyy good film, probably no, but I absolutely fell in love with this film. Sometimes you don't even know why you loved a film, and it is one of those films. Set in the gritty world of C-Grade Sex-Horror films , set in the Mumbai of 80s its a story of two brothers & a girl who changes everything. The director Ashim Ahluwalia really researched well on the porn film industry of those time but as a result the film looks more like a documentary than a full fledged feature film. What hooks you is not the drama but the harsh raw reality of the characters. Our reality is far removed from these people but somehow all these characters look believable. Every single person acts exceptionally well here, but Nawaz is on a different league all together. There are scenes in the film that can teach acting to new acting aspirants. He is just stupendously well here. There is a film towards the end of the film, where he is having tea with biscuits & he is starving most probably, he is so brilliant in that shot that a single scene can make you cry. The leading lady Niharika doesn't have much histrionics to perform, but she is a aptly cast. She is extremely beautiful & there is a inherent innocence in her face. That is why when you see her in a B-Grade film clip at the climax it doesn't look sleazy at all, rather you feel sad for the girl. If you are looking for a real love story of real people watch this, I am guarantee you will become a fan of Nawaz after watching this.

The story is about Sonu (Nawaz) and his constant conflict against his bossy elder brother Vicky (Anil George) who has trapped himself in the gutter of sleaze films in spite of being aware about its consequences and the endless darkness that lies beyond. A fraternity which juggles with aspects such as humanity and emotions purely to rake in more and more profit at the cost of sexually violating endless women on screen and offering an eye candy to millions on a weekly basis, Miss Lovely provides a detailed look on how a whole different society is developing in the underbelly of Mumbai and establishing its roots in various other territories in the country. This film is an eye opener especially in an era where inhumanities against women are spoken about loudly and protested against. I got totally absorbed in the atmosphere and the world and it left me with a lot to think about. It has sensuality and eroticism but never appears exploitative – and this is communicated in a way never before seen in an Indian film. Of course there is also violence and gore, and a general uneasiness throughout. Miss Lovely is a darkly disturbing and spellbinding film.

Bollywood movies are generally based on fantasy and imagination. Where the audience is made familiar with the characters which he 'wishes' to be.Miss Lovely Adopts a different Approach.It makes the Audience identify with reality and makes familiar with the characters that 'are' around him.The movie has penetrating dialogues, harsh naked truth characters and language. Nawaz with the character 'Sonu' was awesome.The movie was brilliant in first half. One needs to watch the movie carefully.
