Remember Anurag Kashyap ?
Wasn't he good in his last movie?

He's Baaaaack !

No Smoking is a surreal comedy/psychological thriller/horror movie.Thats the best way to categorize this movie.

Lets move onto the story...K (and only K) , our protagonist(John Abraham) is a chain smoker.
His wife Anjali , who leads a dual life as his sultry secretary Annie, wants him to quit .
He resists and frowns.
She pouts an ultimatum ...and K finally relents.

Bad Move K, BAAAD MOVE !

K is sucked into "Prayogshala" , a de-addiction centre run by Baba Guru Ghantal Baba Bengali and he faces the harsh consequenvces of deviating from the path of redemption.

I don't smoke...Its my personal opinion that all smokers are selectively stupid.The next time you see a smoker smoking , take my advice , do not lecture or rant , simply give him another cigar , light it up , and get the fuck out of there...Let the bastard kill himself.

The storyline of this movie is extremely visual , surreal and filled with long pauses and metaphors.We have tinnitus's , finger amputations , kidnap , torture and even a bunch of santas roaming in mumbai.

Q: If a bunch of eleves are called "Subordinate Clauses " , what are a bunch of santas called?

Acting:

John is perfectly suited for this movie , just the way Arnold was for "Terminator".
John has no acting skills and luckily for him , the movie does not need them.

I'm wondering if John being K and his brother being J , and john's penchant for wearing suits in sweltering mumbai might be a sly tribute to MIB.

Ayesha...lose some weight ...puhleeeeze !

Ranvir Shorey is crazy as intended.
Paresh rawal is not as menacing as he could have been.

Viewers are suggested to watch Stephen King's "Quitter's Inc." before actually watching this movie.Also recommended:Tales from the Crypt

As for the commercial success...this movie is too surreal and the Aam Junta is too stupid to make this movie a box office hit.

Do you want proof that Aam Junta is stupid?
Proof: Partner is this year's biggest hit.
Nuf said !

When the movie ended , most of the Aam Junta walked out feeling disoriented.Me on the other hand ...I ended up laughing hard at the absurdity !
