  • Desi Kattey

    ...a surprisingly watchable, though at times stretched out beyond belief, yarn yoking crime and sports in a way that we haven't seen in any film.

  • Dear Dad

    It takes a whole lot of guts to make a film on alternate sexuality in India, specially when you are a first-time director. Tanuj Bhramar has pushed the envelope out of the closet as far as possible. And then some more.

  • Daddy

    See it for the austere unflinching portrayal of violence. For sounds and visuals that do not afford us the luxury of aesthetic gratification. And most of all, for Arjun Rampal's powerful performance that creeps up on us without warning.

  • Daddy

    ...this is a Salman Khan vehicle all the way. He gets to be funny, wicked and belligerent...sometimes all at once.

  • Coffee With D

    ...is like an unfinished unpolished version of what could have been a rollicking run-in into a ruminative session between Indian's biggest fugitive and loudest journalist. If only it had allowed more leg-space to lunge in the lap of the ludicrous.

  • City Of Gold

    ...not only marks the return of a storyteller who tells it like it is, without the comfort of shortcuts. It's also a macroscopic look at people who populate the fringes. Their silent protests are seldom heard in cinema.

  • Chittagong

    For cinema to accommodate history, there must be a sense of balance between drama and authenticity. Chittagong manages that balance quite well.

    Oct 2012
  • Children Of War

    ...never quite overcomes the cheesy impulse, moving from one absurd episode to another, not quite the pacy thriller that one would think the introductory chase would lead us into.

  • Chance Pe Dance

    Shahid brings out all the shades nuances and layers in the struggler’s inner life without bending the rules of commercial hero-giri. This is a far better performance than it outwardly seems.

  • Chalk N Duster

    ...is not great cinema by any stretch of the imagination. It is often crude and unapologetic in its melodramatic pitch. But its heart is in the right place.

  • Bullett Raja

    It takes guts to turn the conventional formulistic cinema about male bonding and revenge into a tightly wound intelligently scripted and judiciously executed drama of political subterfuge in Uttar Pradesh...

  • Break Ke Baad

    ...emerges as one of those love stories with a potential that gets squandered in an attempt to be constantly clever at the cost of sustaining the sensitivity that the two lead players build into their relationship.
