Zubaan
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...an exhilarating journey of self-discovery,
-
...is one of the better music-based films in the last couple of years, and will make for a quite a movie experience.
-
Strong performances and extremely relatable screenplay...
-
...might test your patience but it is heartbreaking in parts. Luckily, the melodrama is kept at bay even when the protagonist finds himself divided between materialism and mirth.
-
The pace of the film might make you a bit restless but the story is enthralling in a few places.
-
...is lovingly rendered sweet indie film about the spirit of reinvention.
-
The first half is crisp but during the second half, the story moves a bit too fast leaving the audience confused.
-
...this unconventional story is crisp and the first half steals the show. The second half is slow in parts and the end is a tad rushed.
-
Many of the tropes of the coming of age saga are intact in the story by Mozez Singh, Thani and Sumit Roy, but the screenplay needed greater work and rounding out.
-
...is a film that you stay with till the end even as you rue that it could have been so much better.
-
...a mixed bag of a movie : some of it comes together really well ; others strands are all over the place.
-
The film holds a lot of promise but doesn’t really live up to it. A more clear-minded script as well as a steadier hand at direction would have done wonders to this film.
-
You come away with mixed feelings even though you really loved the idea of 'tumhari zubaan kuch keh rahi hai...'.
-
...stretches itself too thin at times in trying to raise its narrative tempo. In its quieter moments, however, it does manage to get its voice heard.
-
...is a film that does a lot of posing and posturing, but lacks focus to be taken as a serious narrative.
-
Despite a fine lead turn by Vicky Kaushal, ‘Zubaan’ sings a strained tune.
-
The whole film emerges, sadly, like one of those ads where you can half-hum the song but you forget what it was for.
-
Confused. Both me and the film. Is it a coming-of-age story masked as a family drama or a family drama masked as a coming-of-age story?
-
Mozez had the script, brilliant music and super, way beyond performances, but he spoils the broth by trying to add too many ingredients all in one go.
-
...it’s a problem when what’s meant to be an edgy coming-of-age story is hijacked by a campy, entertainingly nutty family soap.
-
...a meandering mess.
