We always laught for the fact that mahesh bhatt has opininion on each and every happenings in our society and turns up practically at every tv studio to give his opinion even when not needed but we cant deny the fact that he sometimes makes good intense films backed by excellent music and kalyug is no different.the film has good script, excellent direction by mohit suri, good soulful music and to top it all good intense performance by the lead actors who hold you to the film.the film is not a sleazy sex caper s everyone anticipated but is a rather true tale on ways of pornography industry and its impact on common people
story
kalyug is a story of kunal dhar(kunal khemu) a kashmiri pandit for whom it seems tragedy is a way of life .first he is driven out of his house in kashmir as a result of which he along with his dad is forced to come to mumbai and start his life afresh but after few years he is left to fend for himself as he looses his dad in a train accident then renuka(smilie) an orphan who was supposed to be looked after by kunal dad comes into his life and after which they fall in love and marry
however kunal life gets shattered when his private honeymoon moments are captured and sold as pornographic clips on porn site indyapassion.com as a result of which police arrests kunal and renuka and after which renuka unable to bear the humilation commits sucide .kunal gets bail and he decides that he has to put a end to this so that other people do not get into it and hence decides to go to zurich in search of annie(deepal shaw) who was anchoring this clip .
kunal reaches zurich and meets alibhai(emraan) a body shop owner who helps kunal in finding annie and the owner of site simi(amrita singh) who also is a succesfull businesswoman in switzerland but is hated by daughter tanya(nisha lalwani) as she believes simi is responsible for her fathers death and finally kills her
performance
kunal-kunal khemu is excellent and ver intense as kunal and is future star in making
renuka-smilie is surprisingly good in her small part
simi-amrita singh it seems s becoming a specialist for villianious roles which she performs with great elan and has good dialogues
ali-emraan hashmi after smooching and hamming through in earlier film does well
annie-deepal shaw is quite good
