Overall, Ugly Story attempts to explore a bold and psychologically intense subject. Pranav Swaroop succeeds, to an extent, in presenting an emotional drama, backed by solid performances from Shree Nandu and Avika Gor. With tighter writing and a more engaging story, the film could have been far more impactful. Still, it remains a watchable psychological drama, with certain bold choices.
