Shagird
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Punctuated with thrilling chases and shoot-outs in the crowded by-lanes of Delhi, Shagird is another interesting film from maverick director Tigmanshu Dhulia...
-
...is let down by its leading man.
-
If only Shagird was a little more polished in all departments, it could very well claim to be the desi version of The Departed.
-
...is not devoid of merit. The Patekar characters affinity to vintage film songs gives a centre to an otherwise-doddering tale of desperate corruption.
-
...almost succeeds.
-
The movie is realistic and shows society a mirror without preaching from the top.
-
Watch it for the performances and a solid engaging storyline.
-
Nana Patekar fans will enjoy his purposefully eccentric, casually ruthless cop but honestly, it felt like deja vu to me.
-
...despite its sharp, often funny exchanges, and a few spanking scenes, is that it is not new enough.
-
Nana Patekar plays to the gallery and brings a smile to the audience's faces but the movie soon turns into gimmickry than fun.
-
The film entertains you but it never quite elevates itself beyond the status of a regular masala film.
-
...fails in its attempt to be a taut thriller and overstays its welcome.
-
This cops-n-robbers game needed to be less familiar and more with-it.
-
Shagird with all its jaded sensibilities appears to be a film of the yore which has lost its market in the present times.
-
The script may still have seemed quite striking on paper to some. The filmmaker's just never sure when he's diving deep into realism, and when he's completely frikin' stretchin' it.
-
There isn't much going for the film apart from Patekar's wit and Kashyap's acting talent. Without them, this film would probably have not got a single star.
