7 Khoon Maaf
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Serious, sensitive and stirring, 7 Khoon Maaf is a whole new cinematic experience.
-
Chalk up an absolute winner for the Vishal-Bhardwaj-Priyanka Chopra team.They make a coherent vision out of an inconceivable marital crises.
-
...no words can fully express the wicked experience of 7 Khoon Maaf. Go catch it for some ‘bloody’ good performances and a great storyline.
-
Dark, delicious, daring!
-
A captivating story and excellent performances...
-
...a dark film that has its share of positives and negatives.
-
...could leave you loaded with thoughts and doubts. The fact that it is more of a journey without a regular conclusion could be disturbing to some part of the audience.
-
A series of one night stands which doesn't quite become an affair to remember
-
...how I wish, there was a little bit of a surprise in the narration or at least I understood even half of why the characters behaved the way they did.
-
...lives up to its premise for most of the film, before it pulls up short, well ahead of a satisfactory conclusion.
-
...partly captivating...
-
...high on style but doesn't quite come together in the end. Still, for the chutzpah on display, it's worth considering it.
-
A delectably mounted, dramatically inert black comedy has lots of atmosphere and little else.
-
...a disappointment.
-
...where the film could have been deliciously dark, mad and off the rails, it ends up being just a disappointing above average weekend watch. Our hopes for a masterpiece of a film have just been done to death. Pity.
-
...the heartbreak is in watching Bhardwaj, that fantastic master director, make a bloated film that plods sluggishly along, a film that doesn't connect either emotionally or sensually.
-
...drags with a total lack of focus.
-
...granted Bharadwaj opts for a low-lit East European cinema style, and occasionally comes up with a striking visual (a white cat in snow). The trouble is that he doesn’t pay half as much attention to the human element. The emotional quotient remains relentlessly surfacial.
-
...the film is dark and hardly entertains.
-
The excessive length, slow pace, and straightforward narrative, makes Saat Khoon Maaf a difficult watch.
-
Vishal Bhardwaj delivers his oddest film yet, that is also sadly his weakest.
-
...an otherwise exciting director riddles this textbook script with meandering subplots and a very weak ending.
-
The story could have been passionate, funny, creepy or even schlocky. Bhardwaj opts for tepid.
-
...not a bad film by any measure. Though the standards Vishal has set for himself with his prior track record are so high that it comes across as almost offensive in its mediocrity.
-
...ends up as a hothouse of exotic spouses with names scratched off the catalogue at metronomic intervals.
