丑恶

       《丑恶》印度犯罪悬疑剧情片，灵感来自真实事件，围绕失踪的小女孩展开了一个关系复杂，扑朔迷离的绑架案件，而所有形形色色的角色也在这个绑架案的调查过程中露出了他们丑陋的嘴脸和罪恶的人心，这种对人性丑恶的揭示比绑架案本身更让人震惊。

       影片开篇就是对生活感到绝望，近乎崩溃的妻子（夏莉妮）意欲吞枪自杀，而被回家的女儿打断，镜头交代了其现任丈夫是一位警察（特侦组组长伯斯），而和前夫的女儿期待着自己的亲生爸爸（拉胡尔）打电话给自己，因为今天是周六团聚的日子，短短几个镜头就把最重要的4个人物都交代了一遍为本片奠定了基调。随后镜头一转，出现了被警察公然索贿的摄制组，伯斯的小舅子（希达特，也就是妻子的弟弟）想找伯斯走后门走私手机等一系列违法活动，拉胡尔开车从前妻那接上女儿去找自己的朋友（柴坦尼亚）看剧本，就让女儿在车里等他，结果女儿失踪了，两人到处寻找，有一个可疑的家伙逃跑了，两人在后面追，结果那个可疑的人慌不择路被汽车撞死了。

       之后镜头来到了警察局，两人把前因后果都交代了一遍，警察态度散漫戏谑，不去关注女儿的失踪这个事实，却揪着两人叙事的细节和一些无关紧要的琐事严加盘查，其玩忽职守，可恶可憎的嘴脸令人印象深刻，后来警察发现女儿的后爸是特侦组组长，才认真起来，派人去调查。伯斯在得知女儿在妻子前夫手里失踪后，根据其窃听妻子电话的录音，以及大学时对拉胡尔的憎恨，指控是拉胡尔绑架了自己的女儿，在毫无确切证据的情况下对其施暴，以权谋私，痛痛快快的发泄的一通并关了起来。柴坦尼亚为了救拉胡尔出来，冒充是绑匪给拉胡尔打电话，伯斯信以为真，以为绑匪另有其人，就放弃了被汽车撞死的可疑的人这个线索，之后查到电话是柴坦尼亚打来的，就把他抓了起来，同时拉胡尔在医生给他看伤时趁机逃了出来，他给柴坦尼亚打电话，说想要到媒体去曝光这件事，伯斯不想让媒体知道这件事，也从拉胡尔的电话中判断出他俩并不是绑匪，就把他们俩都放了并承诺会找到女儿。之后警方展开了一些列的调查行动，却依然没能找到女儿。
       柴坦尼亚因为债台高筑就假扮绑匪，打电话给拉胡尔勒索钱财，拉胡尔吓坏了，就打电话给柴坦尼亚寻求帮助，柴坦你也建议把事情告诉伯斯，让他帮忙筹钱，拉胡尔拒绝了，而这个通话已经被伯斯监听了。拉胡尔的女朋友拉姬把绑匪索要赎金的事情告诉了女儿的母亲夏莉妮，拉胡尔不想去求伯斯，就想到去抢劫珠宝店来筹钱，在买枪的时候被警察发现了，柴坦尼亚被抓，拉胡尔则趁乱跑掉了，警方通过调查发现勒索电话可能是柴坦尼亚打的，就让拉胡尔去当间谍套话，正巧期间又接到了一个勒索电话，警察由此排除拉胡尔和柴坦尼亚的嫌疑，去追逐新的线索，而这个电话实际上是拉胡尔的女友拉姬打的。

       在绑架案登上报纸后，伯斯的小舅子希达特看到了，为了钱就打勒索电话给自己的姐姐索要赎金500万，夏莉妮去找自己的爸爸帮忙筹钱时要了650万，多出的150万是她趁机为自己要的，这一幕真的让我心寒，母亲竟然为了钱在自己的女儿的赎金上做文章，实在是不可思议，随后弟弟取走了姐姐给的500万赎金，姐姐把多要的150万放在了拉姬那，至于女儿的下落，当然是毫无头绪了！找不回女儿的妻子伤心之余，想到现在的丈夫伯斯仅仅是为了报复拉胡尔过去的欺侮而娶了自己，整天囚禁起来，就拿起那把准备自杀用的枪射向了伯斯，警察查到妻子接到的勒索电话来自于小舅子希达特，赶过去把正在狂欢的他抓了起来，而拿到150万的拉姬则和柴坦尼亚一起准备跑路，他们继续勒索拉胡尔，让他按照自己的指示把钱送过来，拉胡尔按照指示，最终见到是好友柴坦尼亚，以为自己的女儿真的是被他绑架的，然后现在已经被放了，谁知在后来和警察的通话中才知道原来女儿并没有找到，愤怒绝望的拉胡尔痛扁柴坦尼亚，柴坦尼亚一心只想着赎金，根本就没有关心过拉胡尔女儿的死活，而拉胡尔跟着柴坦尼亚一起准备跑路，说明他也已经放弃了对女儿的抚养，谁知到头来一切的行动根本与解救自己的女儿无关。

       最终，警方回到最初被汽车撞死的可疑的人那条线索，经过很简单的调查就找到了女儿真正的所在，不过可怜的女儿已经被活活饿死了！伯斯看着女儿死去的惨状，泪水溢满眼眶，歌曲响起：您活着的这个世界还有光明吗，爸爸？我将坠落，如同黑暗夜空里的一颗流星。。。
       片子悲剧收场，所有人都在这场类似闹剧的营救过程中机关算尽，用心良苦，花样百出，然而最后付出的代价是小女孩无辜的死亡和对这个世界绝望的凝视。大人们能看到仇恨，金钱，利益，报复，情欲，贪念，却看不到无辜的小女孩正在等着人来救她，似乎在人性的丑恶面前，所有的善念和理智都已退避三舍，令人不寒而栗。看完这部片子心里哇凉哇凉的，对人性丑恶的一面揭示的如此彻底，让人近乎崩溃，IMDB万人8.2高分神片，小舞舞4星颤抖推荐！

一桩简单的绑架案，在丑恶人性的围堵下，变得荒诞不经、曲折离奇，通向光明的出口近在咫尺，却又远在天边，人们走失在人性堆砌的迷宫里而不自知，最终在一个漆黑的夜里，吞下一颗丑恶人性灌溉的苦果。

丑恶的人性几乎从一开始就介入了案件的调查。痴迷官僚主义的警司，不着急询问案情，而一味的摆架子，刁难报案人，在影片中，这段剧情被演绎成了难熬的8分钟，8分钟在警司无意义的缠问、打断、阻挠中，漫长如一个世纪！而当你感到万分愤怒时，却发现这仅仅是开始，当你想指责官员的玩忽职守时，却发现这并不是故事中最恶劣的部分，毕竟他们和小女孩非亲非故！随后，女孩的继父、舅舅、妈妈、父亲以及父亲的女友、朋友，纷纷在案件的引导下，暴露出隐藏内心许久的丑陋脾性，他们中没有一个将女孩的安危置于首要，而是纷纷拨弄起自己的小算盘，有人要报大学时期的仇来泄愤，有人想乘机讹上一笔巨款来偿债......这些可都是和小女孩沾亲带故的人啊！有的甚至是至亲！时间在滴答滴答中流失，丑陋的人性在不断发酵，女孩的生命也在慢慢逝去，影片“好心”的适时播报日期，但所有人都无动于衷，观众则因渐渐在荒诞的故事里品尝到一丝恶趣也变得乐观起来：也许小女孩根本没有被绑架，一切只是个闹剧。





结局实现大反转的影片并不少见，但本片仍然成功的制造了巨大的震撼效应。常见的反转模式，都旨在炫耀智商而给出一个精妙绝伦的答案，而本片却逆向而行，它给了观众一个无比简单却又万分残酷的答案，这与之前看似复杂又令人发笑的案情，形成强烈的反差，甩了丑恶人性一个狠狠的耳光——案情本就如此简单，是人性的丑恶迷惑了双眼，错失了营救小女孩的时机——小女孩被活活饿死，开始腐烂的尸体，象征着人性的堕落，而她手里揣着的那张笑脸面具，看来极其诡异，一如恶魔得逞后得意洋洋的模样。

当看到结局时，我们不由得要为影片中所有的丑陋角色感到不耻，甚至要为自己感到不耻，毕竟我们在观看整个营救过程中，也没有展现半分的焦虑，而是心安理得的看着这些丑陋角色的荒诞演出，并自感优越的进行一些剑走偏锋的猜测，这正是影片最出彩之处，它刻意用荒诞的基调来刻画角色的丑陋内心，诱导观众产生恶趣，失去本应有的理智与道德感，简单残酷的答案某种程度上，也是一种变相的智商碾压，它用逆向思维调戏了所有人，包括观众。这种调戏在女孩舅舅讹诈得巨款后，变得尤为突出，这个肥胖的男人，将钞票绑在肥腻的腰间，在夸张聒噪的音乐里，死命的扭动身体来欢庆，画面以橙、蓝互补色，凸显出鲜明的色彩对比，像是在配合展现这个男人爆富之后的疯狂，当时我只感到一种莫名的喜感，而结局过后，回想这一切，我仿佛看到了小女孩因饥饿而垂死挣扎的画面在色彩的涌动中、音律的跳动中，发出凄厉的哀鸣，我顿感喉咙一阵发涩。




不由想起去年的国产片《心迷宫》，同样也是一桩简单的案件，在各个角色暗怀鬼胎的引导下，变得荒诞、离奇，不过它对人性丑陋的揭露远不及这部印度片，故事被设定为误杀案本身就性质偏中，而受害人也非善男信女，且身患重疾，看起来该死也本就会死，恶性程度被进一步弱化，随后的阴差阳错，与本片一样，显得恶趣连连，但最终收尾在一个平淡的结局中，谁也没有因为自己的小算盘而变得罪孽深重，而本片则要残酷的多，基本上所有的人都难逃罪责，人性迷宫的每一步都沾满血腥味儿，因此《心迷宫》还能以一个相对中性的片名来定义，本片直接被冠以《丑恶》，观众也许能怡然自得的观看前者，却绝对无法在观看过后者还能保持心安理得。

印度影片常见的歌舞串场在本片中被抹去，显然是为了保持一种严肃的态度。谁说印度影片只会唱歌跳舞，在真相面前，他们一向犀利而不是手软，此片就是例证！说到这里，不由又想起影片开始时的字幕：本片灵感来源于真实事件。瞬间感觉人整个都不好了。

There are many events throughout the whole movie which included search and suspicion of characters around story but they are not narrated here

Kali is a 10 year old daughter out of the divorced couple Shalini Bose (Tejswini Kolhapure) and Rahul Kapoor (Rahul Bhat). Rahul pickup Kali on Saturday - the only day on which he is allowed to take out his daughter. Between their way towards a cartoon movie they stop for awhile to meet Chaitnya Mishra (Vineeth Kumar), Rahul's best friend for a quick audition of struggling actor Rahul. Kali rejects to come with him and she sits in the car on a crowded Mumbai street and ask Rahul to come back soon. Rahul waits for his friend Chaitnya at his home leaving car parked with Kali in the street.



While waiting Kali sees a mask-vendor who is trying to sell animal masks and Kali is attracted (but does not get out of car,presumably) Chaitnya comes after few minutes to meet Rahul and says Kali is not in the car and the door was open. Rahul runs to find and Chaitnya follows him. They ask everyone on street if they saw any little girl but nobody answer. Chaitnya spots the mask vendor Shrilal (Murari Kumar) and ask him but Srilal do not answer and stare instead. Chaitnya sees that Shrilal is having iPhone of Kali and ask him how did he had that phone. Shrilal runs and both Rahul and chaitnya follows. In a long chase, Shrilal gets hit by a car/truck and dies instantly.



Rahul and Chaitnya goes to police station to meet Inspector Rane (Sandesh Jadhav) to file missing report of Kali and death of Shrilal. While the continues unwanted, not-so-funny questions by Rane and his team to Rahul, Rane ask Rahul's home number to call. Rane realise after dialing that the number belongs to his Head and Senior Inspector Shoumik Bose [nm0747172] who is a very rough, rude but yet respected and honest police officer. Thus concluding that Shoumik is step-father of Kali. Rane calls Shoumik and he arrives instantly at police station. Police goes to Shrilal's house to see if he has kept Kali there but there is only Shrilal's aged aunt who denies having kidnapped any kid. Police search arounds but do not found Kali. Shoumik hits Rahul and Chaitnya very much and we see in flashback that all Shoumik, Rahul and Shalini were in same college where Shoumik and Rahul both wanted Shalini but Shalini was attracted to much handsome Rahul and Shoumik was teased a lot. In today, Shoumik blams Rahul for the kidnapping of Kali because he can't meet her daily and Shalini keeps her away from him because of his drinking habit. But later it is revealed that Kali is not kidnapped by Rahul.



Chaitnya, who is having lots of pending dues to pay make a fake call to the Rahul asking for a ransom amount of Rs. 10 Lacs but before Rahul can arrange money Chaintnya's call is traced and Rane catches and again hits Chaitnya very much to find out if he has Kali. Shoumik ask Rahul to talk with Chaitnya to find out where is Kali but it is revealed again after few scenes that Chaitnya is also not behind the kidnapping. Between we again see a flashback that after marrying Rahul, Shalini was not happy since Rahul didn't had any job as actor and they lived in a very small room without money for very long. Kali was born and aged 5 years around. Chaitnya visits Shalini and Shalini who is angry and bored from money-less dull life and fighting life mixes a very little amount of sleeping powder in Kali's milk for her own greed of satisfaction and spends night with Chaitnya. Shoumik married Shalini when once Shalini was beaten cruelly by Rahul but Shoumik never loved Shalini the way a husband do.



We are introduced by Rakhi Malhotra who is best friend of Shalini but is having affair with Shalini's first husband Rahul leaving her own husband aside. Rakhi is a struggling actor like Rahul and is out of money. She also takes advantage of Kali's kidnapping by calling for ransom and asking sum of Rupees 20 Lacs. To arrange this money Rahul goes to loot a jewelry store but is failed. Other than this, Shalini's brother Siddhant (Siddharth Kapoor) who is a local smuggler and is out of money also tries to dig gold by calling Shalini for ransom and asks 50 lacs. Shalini, again, greedy for money and bored from husband adds her own amount and ask from her father total of 65 lacs for ransom and says that kidnapper has strictly said not to tell Shoumik about this. Her Father arranges money and Shalini after deducting her own amount and gives rest to Siddhant not knowing that it is him who is asking and not any kidnapper. Shoumik comes to know this and goes to Shalini shouting that she cheated her father - and ask where is remaining amount and Kali is not coming home this way. We see in flashback that Shalini has asked Rakhi to keep 15 lacs secure. but Rakhi runs away with money including team of Chaitnya and Rahul. Shoumik tells this to Shalini and an outraged Shalini shoots Shoumik with gun and Shoumik is injured on shoulder. Siddhanth is caught red-handded with money.



Later, Shalini runs away from home without saying any thing. Shoumik, after not finding his daughter seating alone attends a call from Rahul where Rahul tease Shoumik but he is not affected by any of it and says whether or not Rahul is having Kali with him; just answer yes or no. Rahul puts the phone down and hits Chaitnya shouting that Chaitnya ensured Rahul that Shoumik is behind Kali's kidnapping but he does not have her and Chaitnya did all of these for money and Rahul (assumably) kills Chaitnya in that fight. While this, Rakhi runs away with all money alone.



Next day we see that police department gets a call complaining about Shrilal's old-aged aunt from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh police station for child-kidnapping. A police detective meets the aunt and tells her if she knows anything about Kali then speak. She does not say anything but later she approaches the same deserted market area from where Kali was missing very early morning and police detective follows her. Later, police detective call Shoumik to come with team at same place as Kali is found. In the last scene of movie, Shoumik and his team comes to that discarded area of market, where Kali was kept bounded from hand and mouth and she is dead. Her whole body is fungus-ed. due to being dead from last so many days. police detective tells Shoumik that she was here the whole time and we could have saved her. She was drugged and kidnapped by Shrilal.

The story tells us a reality of the cruel world by depicting money-greed friend, outraged first husband, senseless brother, money derived and betraying friend and wife and rude police officer. All of them wanted more than what they already had and while all of this - they all lost a little innocent girl. It is seen that even though none of them can be blamed - all of them were murderer.
