Lafangey Parindey
Critic reviews and ratings
-
A film jis mein emotion bhi hai d-rrrama bhi hai t-rrragedy bhi hai and comedy and action too - and all in good portions.
-
...may be predictable, but is engaging and entertaining nonetheless.
-
It is worth a watch for the stubborn spirit of Mumbai that the film portrays so well.
-
...has enough energy going to hold the interest of the audience.
-
...you'll be touched by this immersing, sensitive story that couldn’t have made it as a mainstream release a few years ago.
-
...a human tale of risk and loss, and emotional victories. It is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of Mumbai. Watch it for its earnest performances, real characters and sheer simplicity.
-
A little more verve however would have gone a long way in energising the show.
-
...ultimately a film about love and trust. And we can never have enough of those.
-
...an inspirational tale told with as little fuss and as much feeling as cinematically possible.
-
...has some amazing performances but is marred by a feeble script.
-
...like its attention-grabbing title, is unapologetically superficial with a brief attention span. It doesn't dwell too long on the possible complications or questions that may arise in its protagonist's lives and conveniently wiggles out of/wraps up any uneasy development.
-
The film's premise is interesting but Sarkar fails to take it to a higher level.
-
A nice-enough idea for a lower-middle-class love story is scotched by leads who just don’t belong in this milieu.
-
...Pradeep Sarkar is stuck in a time warp. He handles the film the way you'd expect a trade union leader to handle the responsibilities of the CEO of a multinational. In other words, he’s completely out of place and depth.
-
...isn't a particularly bad film; it's just not a good film either. It's the kind of film that keeps you waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever does. There's no element of surprise or unpredictability in its screenplay...
-
...a film that raises its head once in a while to deliver a few nice moments, and then lies down again, supine.
-
...is watchable but ultimately forgettable.
-
The problem is that the urban ambience and the chatter in Lafangey Parindey doesn’t quite work because director Pradeep Sarkar appears unfamiliar with the dialect he is working with.
-
Despite being "not too bad", it doesn't quite go beyond the lacklustre either.
-
Watching both Deepika and Neil Nitin trying to get under the skin of their tough-as-nails characters is like watching two beautiful babies trying to put on Rambo acts. Cute but not enough.
-
Such scatter-brained, mish-mash of a movie is only possible when the makers' eyeballs are trained at some sucker or the other the cinema's intended for, and not the soul of even a semblance of a script.
-
Production design is smart, dialogues clever and cinematography sparkling, but the story never takes off and characters never connect.
-
Its two-hours running length seems like 20. Indeed you visibly age, ruminating about whatever happened to the director who was at least style-savvy in Parineeta, Laaga Chunari mein Daag...
-
The film seems to be a collection of disjointed pairs with a shoddy editing work.
-
...there is hardly any drama, little build-up and no surprises.
