anurag kashyap ’ s critically acclaim ‘ black friday ’ and raise my expectation from no smoking and expect it to be a decent drama carry a strong message against smoking . but and all of the pointless nonsense hurl at you scene after scene in the name of creativity actually drive you beyond the threshold of tolerance . for the eternal length of this apology of a film and cutie ayesha takia be the only possible distraction . k and yes you read it right and it ’ s a single alphabet name ( john abraham ) be a successful and self obsess man who just can ’ t seem to live life without light up a cigarette . much to the chagrin of his wife who also double up a his secret secretary and anjali ( takia ) who try to rid him off the habit and the obsession never seem to leave k. enter and his friend who have quit the butt and introduce him to a certain ‘ prayogshala ’ with guaranteed result . well and do our hero budge . not until his wife leave him compel k to visit the ‘ prayogshala ’ in run down metal shack lead by shri shri prakash guru ghantal baba bangali sealdah wale ( paresh rawal ) who seem to wield magical influence on his subject which sometimes borderline barbarism . then and there be something call the ‘ cigarette shastra ’ that the subject be suppose to read and and then sign a contract . baba ’ s contract come with no escape . offender be magically track even if they be to escape to africa or at time confine in siberia . absurdity don ’ t just end there . the ‘ prayogshala ’ have a place for harvest soul and a call centre of burqua clad woman and way to chop finger off offender who touch cigarette again . it ’ s just another thing that they manage to reattach them too and when they get a new victim to sign up for the rehab . probably and this movie in all it weirdness may make sense to self styled intellectual and but for those look for some semblance of sense and just keep out . maybe the movie have noble intention to ward people from smoke . well and for the headache you get after watch this and you may actually want to puff off a whole packet . the non smoker too may want to try out the stuff and if not for anything but to disapprove the stuff the baba do .
