  • Love Sex Aur Dhokha

    ...is not a film about celebrating the end of an individual’s right to privacy. It’s a rigorously recorded pseudo-documentary about people who have thrown all caution and discretion to the winds because they’ve no choice.

  • Lamhaa

    Rahul Dholakia...doesn't lose his storytelling equilibrium even when the sitiuations of crises described by the skilfully-written plot scream for attention.

  • Lakshmi

    ...a powerfully told inspirational tale that doesn’t brush the brutal reality of sexual exploitation under the rug.

  • Lahore

    The film has too much to say on sports, politics and human nature. It isn't able to say all of it in a lucid language.

  • Kya Dilli Kya Lahore

    As a director Vijay Raaz, is not in search of solutions to the age-old cross-border conflicts. There is a deliberate staginess to the proceedings, a pronounced verbosity that never gets cumbersome, because, like I said, the writing has a distinct and distinctive 'quoting' edge without getting show-offy.

  • Kurbaan

    ...critically important work because it spells out uncomfortable truths in a cinematic language that’s riveting and resonant without resorting to extravagant flourishes and fireworks.

  • Khamoshiyan

    ...makes you shiver. But not in fear. It just makes you shake in embarrassment for all the ghosts and spirits who are so royally snubbed and insulted by such travesties of terror.

  • Kashmakash

    What redeems Kashmakash and finally makes it worth a lingering dekko is the warmth and romance that Rituprano Ghosh brings to his celluloid adapatation.

  • Karthik Calling Karthik

    The film itself doesn’t lag behind in self-assurance. But the absence of what one may call an energetic exterior could well be mistaken by some viewers as an ingrained inertia, a malaise that the film’s protagonist suffers from.

  • Kajarya

    ...is not quite the long-legged social statement that the film’s well-researched plot would suggest. But it has its heart in the right place.

  • Jodi Breakers

    If the film works at all it’s because Madhavan and Bipasha make a cute couple and try to extract the maximum enjoyment from their under-written smart-on-top-shaky-at-the-bottom characters.

  • Jal

    ...a work of remarkable resonance. The sheer visual mastery of Malik's directorial debut takes your breath away.

  • Jai Ho! Democracy

    ...the enormously accomplished actors struggle against the tedium of repetitive jokes about the banality of parliamentarian exchanges.
