Complete outright diasater
Emraan broods, kisses and manages to come out unscathed, Kangana is at a place in her career where this debacle will be easily forgotten and forgiven. Sanjay Dutt is on screen after a while and has a PK to wipe out this blemish from his career. It is Hooda, Bhoopalam and Neha Dhupia who might actually bear the brunt of being part of this outrageous mess. Then again there are chances people will not even remember this film enough to hold it against them. Stay far far away from a screen playing this film. You do not want to be fingered this way, ever.

All in all, if you want to watch a film about rebelling against the corrupt system then UNGLI is a decent watch for this weekend.
UNGLI starts off on a high. The film opens with an old man and his young daughter waiting at the Pension Office and being bullied by the 'babus' working in the office. The old man gets a stroke and lands up in a hospital where his poor daughter narrates her dilemma to the doctor, which is overheard by Maya (Kangna Ranaut), who is works in the same hospital. She informs her friends Abhay (Randeep Hooda), Goti (Neil Bhoopalam) and Kaleem (Angad Bedi) that they got their 'first case'. The team, then, covers their faces in masks and kidnap the 'babus' at night. As a part of their plan, they strap the 'babus' with 'time bombs' and make them run in an empty stadium. Not just that, they also inform the cops and media about the same. In no time, their antics are all over the media channels and they become famous as the 'UNGLI' gang(more)

Ungli is as mindless as its title.
Emraan Hashmi is good as usual and yes he has a kissing scene too. Randeep Hooda and Sanjay Dutt play their part well. It's good to see Dutt back on the big screen that too in a police uniform. The girls Kangana Ranaut and Neha Dhupia have little to do. Music by various composers didn't actually help. The intention may have been good but the plot is silly and way to unrealistic! It's kind of clear that some of it was possibly salvaged in post production but quite a bit was beyond repair. So Ungli releases with all the loopholes at a theatre near you. (more)

Don't miss the Ungli show.
Ungli might not offer a solution to our day to day problems but does a darn good job at tapping the right chords and sentiments and translating it on screen and met out a hard befitting answer to the culprits. And lastly, the best thing about Ungli is it doesn�t get preachy; it asks you to rise up for your rights without hammering your head to it. Give this one a chance, you too will rise up, take charge and show the Ungli.(more)

Ungli does not gather any momentum because it isn't a single overarching embodiment of evil that the gang decides to take on.
The rest of the film delivers a whole lot of hogwash about a compromised police force and the mounting frustration of ordinary folk who must stay within the confines of the law even when they know that the rich and powerful can bend the rules at will. With a runtime of well under two hours, Ungli is not a long film. But that does not make it any easier to sit through. Among the few positives on view, both the editing (Deepa Bhatia) and camerawork (Hemant Chaturvedi) are first rate. While the former keeps the film crisp and sharp, the latter lends it a distinctive visual feel. But much of the fine technical work is wasted because the rest of Ungli never manages to point in the right directions. Ungli has a few attributes that you will not usually encounter in a Karan Johar production. It has no big stars, no elaborate song and dance set pieces and no major love story. But when a film is more interesting for what it isn't than for what it is, giving it a miss might be the most prudent option. (more)
