Haseena Parkar
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a poorly written, acted and executed film that unintentionally victimises and thus justifies her warped sense of power under the pretext of 'protecting her family'.
-
...fails to impress as it’s too superficial and unexciting.
-
Shraddha tries hard to rescue the film, but the script totters so badly in the second half that any salvage seems impossible.
-
Superficial storytelling with no grit or drama.
-
Kapoor launches into the role with complete commitment, though one can question both the plausibility of her playing the part of an intimidating middle-aged godmother and her ability to bring in nuance.
-
...one of the weakest gangster movies to hit the screens.
-
In its attempt to valourise Haseena as an innocent victim of destiny, the movie misses the opportunity to add another chapter to the ongoing saga of Dawood Ibrahim and his clan.
-
...is a superficial drama with no grit.
-
It's brave of a really young actor Shraddha Kapoor to want to play Marlon Brando in The Godfather. And full marks for effort. But Haseena Parkar is a poorly researched film, which just makes you laugh at the end of it all.
-
Why director Apoorva Lakhia found this subject or the material compelling is a mystery.
-
Besides being an utterly exhausting watch, it is dull and completely devoid of perspective.
-
There is no emotional connect with the audience and Haseena Parkar is just a surface scratcher.
-
Nothing, therefore, can salvage this insipid biopic from the morass of mediocrity.
-
...is a long and winding and weary telling of a story which could have been something, but comes off merely as a tired re-tread of tired re-treads.
-
...ends up being a staccato narration of facts, rather than a story pulsating with life.
-
Suresh Nair's screenplay lacks depth about its female protagonist.
-
It’s a movie that lacks flair, inventiveness, atmospherics, and just about everything required to deliver a compelling cinematic experience.
-
Don’t go looking for a Shabana Azmi-like assured turn (in Godmother) from Kapoor. She is unable to rise above her age, despite trying to emote way too earnestly in some scenes.
-
In the hands of director Apoorva Lakhia, writer Suresh Nair and actor Shraddha Kapoor, this material becomes the stuff of unintentional comedy.
-
It’s a movie that lacks flair, inventiveness, atmospherics, and just about everything required to deliver a compelling cinematic experience.
