Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
An atmospheric tragedy set in the sordid world of Bombay's exploitation-film industry during the late 1980s.

rotten:
Though not pretentious, [the] film feels a tad overthought, held back somehow by a stubborn, dour obscurity clouding its freshly realized, lurid milieu.

rotten:
"Miss Lovely" does exude an air of authenticity... But much of the film remains underdeveloped.

fresh:
The "Miss Lovely" script's a set of pulpy contrivances padded out for thematic oomph, but director Ashim Ahluwalia has serious visual flair, and that keeps you watching.

fresh:
Florid direction, lurid atmosphere, and reckless passions all contribute to the intoxicating deliriousness of Miss Lovely, a thriller set in 1980s India's B-movie industry.
