Anurag Kashyap
Through a haze of smoke he sees his own doom.
This is a very interesting film by anurag Kashyap(Black Friday).It is a Dark comedy .
K(John Abraham) is a 30 year old , stubborn , smart ass who thinks he knows the best an does not pay heed to anybody's advice . He was inntroduced by abbas(ranveer shorey) to cigarettes as a teenager and since then K has been hooked to the nicotine puff.
Now, K is addicted to nicotine. Nothing can come between him and his cigarette – neither his wife(Ayesha Takia in a double role as Anjali/Honey), nor his friends and not even his own life.
K's wife is pretty and addicted to tearjerkers and soaps. She surprisingly still cares for that son of a bitch of her husband, but she detests his smoking. She looks mild but has a mind of her own. She can take drastic decisions if she must.
He is guilty of introducing K to his first cigarette. Abbas too has tread the same nicotine stained path. But love for his wife has made him quit. He is making amends by introducing K to Baba Bengali(Paresh Rawal). His bandaged fingers are a gruesome reminder of what can happen if K fails.
Baba Bangali is a sweet talking man with draconian actions. Autocratic and dictatorial, he guarantees mind-blowing results, provided his clients obey his every order to the T. If they don’t, even God cannot save them from his vengeful wrath.
Synopsis
STATUTORY WARNING
Cigarette smoking can be injurious to your health, to your fingers, to your beloved, and to people close to you.
What if a man is caught in a situation like this: A compulsive smoker vows to kick the habit and quit smoking. But if he disobeys, the consequences can be dire.
Consequences
If he touches a cigarette with the intention of lighting up, his car may be blasted into pieces. Too bad if he is sitting in it.
If he fails?
If he lights a cigarette, his asthmatic brother will be forced to inhale all the cigarette smoke he has exhaled all these years.
No fingers to hold
If he lights up a second cigarette, he won’t have anything left to hold that cigarette with. Meaning, his fingers may be chopped off.
May lose his lover
If he still persists with his habit and doesn’t quit smoking, he may lose the only person he has loved the most.
Life on the line
In the end, he may get a final choice to choose between his own very life and the nicotine stick.
Doom?
Is cigarette dearer to him than his life, than his wife, than his fingers?

Prediction
Once again Kashyap might receive much acclaim for the film , but Box office is fickle , so it might be difficult there . Ayesh Takia might have John abraham for breakfast .Her acting prowess was proven in "Dor" .John abraham will find it difficult to hold his own against likes of , Paresh Rawal,ayesha Takia , Ranveer Shorey .but you never know , he might be the trump card.
