K.'s wife leaves him because he won't stop chain-smoking. He enrols in a de-addiction programme run by a guru, Baba Bengali. The programme operates on fear: every time K. lights a cigarette, someone close to him will have a finger chopped off, or will die, or his own life will be in danger. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

The main protagonist is trying to get rid of his addiction to cigarettes, without realizing that a rehab clinic recommended by a friend is using really extreme methods to get rid of a person’s addiction. A slightly shorter runtime would suit this attractive theme; the surreal storytelling style and unpredictable mysterious twists are not enough to entertain for two hours on their own. The visual appearance of the film using digital tricks and effective cuts, video passages, the atmosphere of the dirty environment of Mumbai in contrast to the luxurious life of the main protagonists, and the dream trances, all elevate No Smoking into a decent abstinence ride that would benefit here and there from injections of adrenaline. I honestly expected it to be even more rampant and frantic.
