  • Why Cheat India

    If you thought that Soumik Sen’s Why Cheat India comes up with an answer, or at least looks at the aforementioned psychological concerns among children and their behavioural issues that often lead to suicides with grave concern, you’d be disappointed.

  • Dear Dad

    Director Tanuj Bhramar could have explored gay relationships deeper. But in this film, he is almost content to let it all rest with a son's acceptance -- if willy-nilly -- of his father's sexuality.

  • Fitoor

    ...doesn't lack pace, it lacks the finesse and the depth. And we are left with not much to do except marvel at the white beauty of Kashmir, while the real Pip, Estella and Miss Havisham remain buried under that thick blanket of snow, perhaps occasionally stirring in their graves.

  • Fireflies

    The look of the film deceives you into believing that there is depth of content, but what it actually offers is an honest attempt at delivering it.

  • Firangi

    The film could have been crisper. First half is interesting, but the film loses out on its climax, which is unrealistic and funny. It is a royal mess of the highest order.

  • Roy

    While the film is shot beautifully, its the story that falls flat mainly because it is packed with too much randomness in the name of art and intensity.

  • Hero

    He has co-written the film’s screenplay and that’s where the film’s first major problem sits. The second is his direction.

  • Raman Raghav 2.0

    ...director Anurag Kashyap tries hard to impress by showing a blood bath and scary facial expressions of psychopath Raman, but it is disheartening to see the film with no purpose.

  • Nanu Ki Jaanu

    ...is simply a misconceived film which holds no fun, surprises and entertainment. The film seems to have no purpose. If you have your bets on a bad film, it is a clear winner!

  • Judgemental Hai Kya

    The good aspects of the film just can't salvage the fact that the central story has not been worked out with enough rigor. The film spins its wheels beautifully, but it simply has nowhere to go.

  • Kalank

    ...style is not a substitute for story. Some good things do not make up for the complete derailment of this bland endeavour and an exhausted viewer leaves the theatre wondering exactly what the hell had happened, both in front of the camera and behind it.

  • Malang

    Mohit Suri’s film is set in Goa for a reason. It allows him to show smoking, drinking, drugs, rave parties, lots of skin and random sex without having to bother about a story. So, he didn’t bother.

  • R... Rajkumar

    Prabhu Dheva’s films are infantile fantasies that seek to gratify the fragile male ego and libido. Any further analysis of this imbecility would be a waste of time.

  • Behen Hogi Teri

    The trouble is this is neither a satire nor a dark comedy. It doesn’t even have great performances to keep your interest alive throughout. By adding many stereotypes, it hammers its point. The end result is disappointing.
