No Smoking (2007)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

never watched a movie like this in any language..... ............... .......... .. awesome if u are addicted of any things, u will surely leave this after watching movie, if u take it serious ............. .. .. never expected such a good and different movie. ................ .. ...such good work By any Indian director... Bangali baba was every where in movie... ............... ................. .................. ...................... .if u watched once... u will definitely watch again and again/....... .then famous dialog pf paresh rawal, if there is soul then there is god, if no soul, then its dead.... .......................... ............. ................... .............. thanks .. kashyap.............. .............. .............. ..............release second part soon.

Here's a warning: If u are not interested in analyzing a movie, this movie is not for you at all.I literally saw this movie 10 times and the count will keep on increasing. An excellent cinema, great work done by Anurag "K"ashyap. This movie really takes you on a roller coaster ride and in the end leaves you so much to think about. The title of the film is "No Smoking" and the director had every option to make it simple and straight but the director dared to take a road less travelled by and the outcome is a class apart, and you don't generally come across such awesomeness.This movie revolves around "K" (played by John Abraham) who is a chain smoker and a self made, arrogant person clearly evident with his one liner is "nobody tells me what to do". His wife Anjali, sick and tired of his smoking habits, decides to call off their marriage and leaves the home. She agrees to come back only on one condition that K have to go to rehab centre run by SHRI SHRI BABA Bangali. K decides to pay a visit and that's where the whole extra ordinary experience of the movie starts.This movie will take you through a journey at the end of which you have to interpret the entire scenario and this will give u a proud feeling.Again giving credit to director and actors (John, Paresh Rawal & Ranveer shorey has done a commendable job), i must say this bollywood movie is epic and has achieved "cult" status.A MUST WATCH!!

Vigorously recommended! This movie placed a milestone on the path of Indian cinema, which, unfortunately, will remain untrodden for a long time. AK's back. The dark situations, the dark comedies, plot to keep you on the seat's edge, excellent screenplay, mysterious portrayal of characters. But this movie isn't for normal movie buffs. This is special. John Abraham has done probably the best acting of his career. Ayesha Takia is cute, a bit unused here. Paresh Rawal is the "Guru Gantaal" to look for! Amazing! His characterization is too difficult to visualize. But then, it is Anurag Kashyap and Raj Singh Chaudhary, who have done it! Kudos. The film just failed to amaze audience, but then is it really so? Of course not. This flick will turn your mind upside down. Awesome. The film is stylish too, unlike AK's other low budget films. Super recommendation for this!

for the past one year i have been avoiding Hindi movies..mainly for the reason that these movies have failed to strike a chord neither with my heart nor with my brain...but this movie brings my faith right back into Hindi...i have read many negative reviews about this movie,but i somehow felt that the movie must have something in it to provoke such a reaction,so i finally saw it to find out...yes this is one of the movies in which you will think u have solved the puzzle and the next moment u will be disappointed that this is not the correct solution,and you will be made to think again... and yes this movie has many possible interpretations,this is the most brilliant thing about this movie....this is a David lynch kind of a movie,but it somehow seems to have really struck a chord even more than lynch movies...the acting was absolutely perfect,they did not overact,they did not underact!Paresh Rawal's character was very strong....man this person can act,you will listen to him,even if you don't understand a single word of what he is speaking! then there ...another gem of a performance,and john Abraham....no one could have done the role better except may be Christian bale or tom cruise..he has that suave look and narcissist approach which was needed for the role!the ambiance created by the director..the BM music,the brilliant camera angles,the creation of those really dark and mysterious situations and places,the plot(or the lack of it,which was absolutely perfect,the presence of a solid plot would have spoiled the experience) ,the screenplay(brilliantly done,specially the dreams)...the premise of the movie is 'smoking'..the protagonist K,is a chain smoker and his wife leaves him for that,then provoked by two of his friends he joins a organization to leave his smoking...but then his suffering starts..now i wont move any further...because i will be spilling spoilers!! it provokes a deep anti-smoking sentiment in the viewer....if this movie had been promoted properly it would have made it to the IMDb 250....
