Fugly Movie Review
A story based on the life of Delhiites about their attitude. As usual they aren't scared of anyone, even to the extent of not paying any heed to the regulations of the police force. Habituated, they often tend to break rules off and on, which lands them in a bigger problem, leading to any consequences - for which they have themselves to blame.

Chal Bhaag Hindi film
A wannabe new age quickie about Delhi underbelly with all the ingredients, like larger than life Dons, corrupt to the core Police Personnel (it seems the department has become a favorite whipping boy of one and all including any Tom Dick and Harry). Chal Bhaag - movie review. The movie begins with the murder of an ex-MLA, then the director goes on to establish the three protagonists. The First one, Munna Supari (Deepak Dobriyal) is a road-side tapori (smarty) showing off his razor wielding skills, and is a self proclaimed goon. Then there is a petty thief Bunty (Tarun Bajaj) who snatches chains for a living and gives them to his early sweetheart as if on a cue. The Third Guy Daler Singh (Varun Mehra), an outcast, is a bit of a mystery to himself, shown as a hungry tiger but across as a ‘touch-me-not’ with a heart of gold who follows his heart but is unable to convey his fee ....

He is wrong, as sometime later, he finds out that she is actually a boxer and he is impressed.
