No Smoking

This movie is ery disappointing one.
 Cigarette smoking is injurious to health and Kashyap wants to highlight this message loud and clear via his new movie.

No Smoking leaves you exasperated and disgusted. Exasperated, because till the end credits roll, you just don’t know what happened in those 2 hours.

K [John Abraham] is a stubborn and obnoxious guy, who does exactly what he wants. A chain smoker, he feels nothing can come between him and his cigarette -- not his wife [Ayesha Takia], his friend [Ranvir Shorey] or his life. Till he encounters Baba Bengali [Paresh Rawal].

Baba Bengali has his own set of draconian laws to stop people from smoking. He guarantees results, provided his clients obey his orders to the T. But K revolts and pays a heavy price for it.


There’re hardly any songs in the narrative, but the one filmed on Jesse Randhawa [Jab Bhi Cigarette Peeta Hoon] is imaginatively filmed.

John makes a sincere attempt to leave a mark and succeeds to an extent. Really, one wonders, what prompted John to instantly approve this bizarre story! Ayesha runs through her role mechanically.
