elving deep into the underbelly of Indias film industry, where back-alley
Dproducers churn out everything from pulpy horror movies to soft-coreporn, Miss Lovely is a wild ride that takes us back to the Mumbai of the1980s with lurid detail and intoxicating style.
Working out of sleazy hotels and abandoned warehouses, brothers Sonu
(Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and Vicky (Anil George) are prolific producers of trashy, C-
grade films for Mumbais booming underground market. The ambitious,
domineering Vicky is the unquestioned brains of the operation, leading the dim-
witted Sonu deeper into a world of alcoholic divas, sleazy money men and movie-
loving gangsters. But this precarious partnership is put to the test when the
brothers meet Pinky (Niharika Singh), an exquisite ingenue with a shady past.
