Anurag Kashyap Most Underrated Movie: There are many such films made in Bollywood, which deserve to be a hit but they lag behind in the race of earning and prove to be flops. But some films are not made keeping in mind the earning or box office, but keeping a social message in mind. Their stories are also very good, but these films get lost somewhere because of the audience. One of these films is Anurag Kashyap’s ‘No Smoking’. It is said that this film was 10 years ahead of its time. But it did not get the recognition it should have and that is why it fell into the category of flop films. But today this film is included in the list of cult classic films.

This film is one of the most underrated films of 2007, whose story is so brilliant that if anyone sits to watch it, he will not be able to get up in the middle.

Not a film with normal social message
This film is always remembered on World No Tobacco Day. As much as the makers had expected from this film, its performance was less and it went up in smoke as soon as it came to the theatre. ‘No Smoking’ was not a film with a normal social message, but a psychological thriller, so at that time the audience could not connect with it and the film flopped.
