No Smoking Movie is about a middle-class Indian family, one member of which is addicted to cigarette smoking. As soon as the father learns of his son’s habit, he sends him to a treatment center. The problem is that the son won’t go unless he can get away with a little subterfuge, and that’s exactly what he does.
He’s told that if he doesn’t want to go, he will have to pay 21 lakhs for the treatment himself, but he pays anyway. The result of this is that, while his father’s in the hospital, he begins to smoke again and is caught by his father. The father then sends him back to the center, and he tells his mother and brother that he needs to leave India.
I have no doubt that this is a very realistic portrayal of a situation that exists in India today. I am aware that the main character is not the father, but the younger son. However, it is quite clear that the younger son is the father of the character. It is easy to tell from the story that the father was a real cigarette smoker, and the younger son, being the father, inherits that habit. It is a fairly accurate portrayal of the reality of an Indian father sending his son to a treatment center.
What happened here was that the younger son, while being away from home, continued to smoke. The father knew of this, and as soon as he found out he sent him back. The only problem is that the son continued to smoke, and this is what the father found out.
I think that the way in which the younger son managed to get away with it is extremely realistic.
No Smoking Movie Review

Director: Anurag Kashyap
Adapted from: Quitters, Inc.

Budget: 230 million INR
Anurag Kashyap wrote and directed the 2007 Indian Hindi-language thriller No Smoking, which was co-produced by Vishal Bhardwaj and Kumar Mangat. John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, Ranvir Shorey, and Paresh Rawal star in the film, which also features Bipasha Basu in an item number.
What makes “No Smoking” so compelling is the interplay between the various characters. What we see in K’s life is the clash between his personal desires and the dictates of his social and professional obligations. We see the conflict between the man he wants to be and the man he has to be.
The film takes us through a very dramatic journey, as K embarks on his journey to cure himself of his smoking addiction. K has the money to be able to quit, but his fear of being ostracized forces him to keep the habit secret. But his decision to quit smoking and his realization that he does indeed need help to do it cause him to fall in love with Annie.
I think, overall, the No Smoking film is a success, for a variety of reasons. First, it is well written. The dialogue is very well written, and the story is compelling enough to make it work. In addition, the cinematography, production design, and direction are very good. This is a well-made film.
The second factor in its success is the acting. All the major actors are very good. In particular, Raghu Karumanchi’s acting is outstanding. It helps that he is the leading man, and the film requires a certain amount of gravitas.
Finally, the film gets its message across clearly. It is a very easy film to understand. I was impressed by the way it handles the subject matter, and I think this is a film that can have an important impact.
Conclusion:
“no smoking” movie is a unique film and I have never seen anything like it. It was made as an independent film and became a hit. The way in which it was shot and edited was amazing. The first thing that struck me when I saw the trailer for this movie was how visually arresting it was. This was not a generic, run-of-the-mill, horror movie. It was a film that looked like a high-end feature.
The acting was very good, especially in the beginning. However, I thought that the acting got pretty bad at some points. This is a film that is meant to be a mystery. The characters are all mysterious and the audience doesn’t know what is going on.
