Apartment
The direction of Jagmohan Mundhra suits the thriller genre and he comes out with a winning product. The treatment of the characters in the thriller has been done superbly.
...this one's another of those sundry lifts from Hollywood films, repackaged as desi kitsch. But what's there to complain about?
Had the film explored a little more in terms of research work rather than skimming it from the top, it would have been more effective and made an interesting watch.
Apart from the fact that it is stolen, `The Apartment’ suffers from bland acting, and superfluous songs...
...a very mediocre film, with neither style or substance, nor plot or purpose.
The acting is abysmal. The production values are tacky. And the writing is laugh-out-loud funny.
...is absorbing in parts. Wish the drama in the second half was more punch-packed. It would've only enhanced the impact!
The film doesn't work from the moment go because the script's amateurish and Mundhra's direction decidedly pedestrian.
...reads like a frighteningly disembodied episode, neither passionate nor bloody enough to qualify as a genuine slasher flick, of a television mini-series built around the theme of suburban loneliness.
Mundra's message about urban professional's choice of sharing their space with strangers is true and interesting but his efforts in the movie are juvenile and vague.
Accept soft-core pornography in Indian films, and you’ll get rid of poor apologies such as these that have to force in plots, since they can’t just make a semi-porn pic instead.
Predictable all through, the film's intention isn't quite clear.
...thriller that fails to thrill.
Horrible would be a terrible word to describe this deplorable film.
