Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho
Critic reviews and ratings
-
For those looking for a break from the Bollywood staple of star-studded, buffed up, feel-good entertainers, this film might be two hours and a bit well spent.
-
If you are looking for something diverse from Bollywood and are willing to brave the flaws, then this certainly is if for you.
-
Though well-intentioned, intriguing and effective in places, this satirical tragicomedy is as sluggish as the proceedings of the very judiciary it takes a dig at.
-
The film resorts to very caricaturish writing and acting in parts, but the seasoned skills of Annu, Om and Sanjay come to the rescue.
-
The satire is seems confidently put across at first but then becomes illogical and unwieldy. Kapri is aiming for a tragicomedy about rural India, but some of his visuals are straight out of a horror movie.
-
...should have been a much better film, if not let down by writing.
-
The other thing that makes us uneasy is the persistent doubt that these villagers are being paraded about for our amusement, that they’re being made a little too colourful just so we can sit back in our multiplexes and laugh at them.
-
Because of the lack of strong directorial prowess, the film seems a bit out of place in today's context.
-
...takes off with a great premise but fails to realise its full potential.
-
...long boring affair.
-
This could have been a sharp black comedy with a strong sense of place , mining its superb absurdist premise...
-
...Kapri, who comes from a journalistic background, has picked from rich sources, but he has not been able to weave the influences into a cogent whole.
-
Debutant director Vinod Kapri was astute in picking a subject that tabloid headlines are made of. But in execution, he couldn't convey the mood of the story.
-
...lost in the haze between intent and execution.
-
...could have sparked off a discussion on the subject, but in its confusion about the tone it should take and in the absence of a commitment to the cause it seems to be espousing, it ends up being a lukewarm film.
-
Not a single thing in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho makes it worth a watch. Skip this and save yourself from this eminently avoidable overdose of misogyny and torture.
