Ratings and reviews

Names of big directors. High ratings and reviews. But i was weirded out! Two of the 4 stories propogate gay culture and crossdressing. I was uncomfortable from the first story itself. Avoid.

Great movies does not need great arts to be a hit. Watch this if u are sick of current bollywood crap.

Story 2 & story 4 are really well directed. Other 2 just sucks to be honest
