  • 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.

  • Munna Michael

    What this movie lacks is self-belief and great music. If the whole point of the film was to make it a tribute to Michael Jackson then MJ’s original tunes should have been used.

  • Mohalla Assi

    Large portions of the film are nothing but rants by various characters about the state of the nation. While it may work in a book, the randomness of such scenes eats into the film’s narrative.

    ...director Nila Madhab Panda has made a film with its heart in the right place and let’s hope the message it conveys reaches the right pockets...

  • Jai Gangaajal

    It’s a pure masala entertainer with vigilante justice by the masses as its main course. It does try to say that it’s hard to control the fire when the mob grows on rampage.

  • Saaho

    Go for it if you're a die-hard Prabhas fan and like leave-your-brains-behind kind of action. Otherwise avoid.

  • Bhaiaji Superhittt

    It’s a neo-retro product, a place-marker of sorts for the ‘anything goes’ school of filmmaking in Bollywood, which still has some dedicated followers despite changing times...

  • One Day

    Vigilante justice films have to have the right mix of mayhem and violence. They should persuade us that the wrong-doers deserve this kind of raw punishment. Director Ashok Nanda hasn’t been able to offer the right balance and as a result, the film fails to make the kind of impact it was aiming for...

    ...both Aayush and Warina have made decent debuts. A little more polish and a better choice of films will surely see them shine in future.

  • Malang

    ...is a flawed but entertaining product and would be especially liked by those who are fans of slasher flicks.

  • The Tashkent Files

    Shastri's life is a much more interesting subject than his death. We wish someone makes a biopic on that, instead of speculating on his death. It should be stated that the film looks biased against a certain political party. Given the fact that elections are at hand, the film ideally should have been released post the voting...

    ...while the film does raise some important issues, it suffers from faulty execution. It comes across as a missed opportunity at best...

  • Baaghi 2

    The film is a must watch for action junkies. Tiger is a true-blue action star alright and those craving for some high octane thrills won't come away disappointed.

  • Raja Natwarlal

    The plot seems plausible and draws you in, whereas Raja Natwarlal’s plotlines are too clever for their own good. You stop believing in the con and the magic evaporates.

  • Lucknow Central

    We know cause based films are the norm right now and maybe the idea behind the film was prison reform. It’s heart was in the right place but everything else wasn’t...

  • Vishwaroop II

    Somehow, the actor has been overshadowed of late by his (Kamal Hassan) self-indulgent filmmaker avatar. He does everything right in the film as an actor but we're still left with an unsatisfied appetite as we walk out of the theatre...

  • Mr. X

    What Vikram Bhatt has done is that he’s set up a premise for a superhero movie franchise. Now, he needs to hire a better writer and work on the script like crazy before taking it forward in the next installment.

  • Phamous

    ...there was a grain of a good idea somewhere which got lost thanks to slipshod handling. We could have had a true coming-of-age film about dacoit culture but sadly the finished product isn't that film.

    Better writing would certainly have generated more laughs. Watch the film to experience a dash of vintage Govinda. He still retains most of his tricks and let’s hope gets better films in future to showcase them.
