  • Bharat

    Somewhere along the way, the focus of the film shifts from India to Bharat the character and that's its chief flaw. You leave the theatre feeling underwhelmed...

  • Stree

    (Writers) Raj and Krishna are known for their wacky humour and they do not disappoint here too. The film is peppered with silly situations bound to keep you in splits throughout.

    Kudos to writer and director Sharat Katariya for coming up with such a rooted tale. And kudos to Varun Dhawan for agreeing to be part of it. He has tried something totally new for him here.

  • Pihu

    Go watch the film for a story that totally differs from the usual escapist fare that Bollywood dishes out, doesn’t have a known name as the lead and yet manages to keep you engaged...

  • Romeo Akbar Walter

    Watching the film is like akin to reading a John Le Carre novel. You have one set of mandarins squaring off against the other with pawns being sacrificed for future advantage.

  • Angrezi Medium

    Irrfan Khan, as we know, was undergoing treatment for a near-fatal disease and was in much pain throughout the shooting of the film. So kudos to him for overcoming the odds and giving us another masterful performance. We only wish the script should have matched his heroic effort...

  • Gali Guleiyan

    Dipesh has set the film in the dimly lit, crumbling lanes of old Delhi and tries to convince you that you’re watching two parallel stories occurring in the same timeline. He aims for a big reveal which isn’t required as the film would have flowed better without it.

  • Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain

    The other message it delivers is that love shouldn’t die post marriage. It’s a problem that’s seldom addressed to in real life and lesser in reel and it’s brave of director Vyas to revolve his film around it…

  • Pataakha

    Why do the sisters hate each other -- is the question that pops up in your mind time and again. Sometimes, there is no reason either to love or hate and that’s Bhardwaj’s approach as well as the sudden transformation of their feelings towards each other is just as inexplicable. But these brief niggles aside, Pataakha is a cracker of a watch indeed, total paisa vasool on the strength of the acting alone.

  • Luka Chuppi

    Watch Luka Chuppi for a dose of some good, clean fun -- much needed after all the heavy-duty stuff which has been going around in real life.

  • Mubarakan

    ...suffers from a strained and predictable plot, its silliness does makes you laugh. So go watch the film if indulging in there hours of escapist comedy is your game...

  • Tribhanga

    ...has made an all-heart film, it’s something of a work in progress, rather than a finished product. But it’s a fine beginning nevertheless and she holds true promise for the future.

  • Raid

    ...the dramatic scenes between Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla alone are worth the price of the ticket. Watch the film if you like manly heroes quitely going about their jobs and villains who can be gentlemen at times.

  • Parmanu

    The film does have minor flaws and loose ends but you kind of gloss over them because of its emotional impact. At the end of the day, you feel proud of the achievements of the nation’s scientists, of our army.

    It’s seldom that we make introspective films laced with dark humour. It’s great to find such superlative effort from first time filmmaker.
