Table No. 21
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...book your tickets for this thriller that will have you hooked from Frame No 1. The end is so stunning that it will have you stand up and applaud as the credits roll.
-
...fascinating, intriguing enough for a suspense thriller setup, the screenwriting packages a series of realistic sequences and episodes that catch you unaware.
-
The first half is slow-paced, as a thriller it has its flaws, the direction isn't really superlative, but post-interval it spins into another zone and the climax hits home.
-
...a psychological thriller that ends with a delectable twist, one which justifies the intent of the highly structured plot.
-
...this Aditya Datt-directed film is worth a watch, thanks to the detour its message takes before delivering itself.
-
...it’s a well-paced thriller with some highs and quite a few lows, and it’s never boring.
-
The taut thriller shot on a scenic location constantly keeps a step ahead of the audience.
-
...although may not be a completely out of the box, never before concept but it's the execution of the story and the acting that makes this film a one time watch.
-
This is a well-meaning film. It even has a relevant social message appended to its ending. Unfortunately, along the way, it yo-yos wildly between semblances of profundity and dashes of pulp.
-
...is the kind of thriller that makes you feel you are smelling a fish through out. The "Something ought to be wrong, I just don't know what." turns into a regular twist in the tale without throwing you off balance.
-
Concept-driven maybe, but Table No. 21 remains, at the end, only that - a good concept on paper that is never quite realised in its execution: whether it is in the writing, directing, or acting departments.
-
Aditya Dutt who’s known for Aashiq Banaya Aapne takes a very interesting idea for a story, infusing a thriller element via a game show brings about a very interesting thought to the film. Even the way he captures the unexplored areas of Fiji Islands is commendable.
-
...it isn’t everyday that you get a B-movie that makes a convincing case for karma.
-
Can't say if you will like what Table No. 21 leaves you with but while you are at it, you are likely to have a good time.
-
Director Aditya Datt seems unsure whether to make a hard-hitting thriller or a soppy drama. He makes a thriller that ends with a moral message.
-
...while director Aditya Datt and his writers may have cracked a sure-shot climax, they invest very little in the rest of this sloppy thriller.
-
...look for another table. The number hardly matters.
-
Although, there was much scope to milk the dark and claustrophobic undertones of the set-up, something the film ignores so blithely it seems it doesn’t know about its own potential. It could have been a much better film had it.
-
...director Aditya Datt creates a reality game show-revenge saga that gathers some steam in the last act, but by then it’s too little, too late.
-
If there was ever a movie in need of an enhanced computer-generated imagery budget, it is this one.
-
A mediocre film that tries too hard to emulate cheap Hollywood thrills.
-
Bhatt initially keeps the audience engaged with a quick pace and amusing vignettes such as a machine which measures the decibel levels of a slap. But he loses his grip in the second half, especially as the audience is able to put together the clues and predict the game’s end.
-
A rare Bollywood movie in which the protagonists are greedy, hedonistic and sadistic.
-
No suspense, no menace, no nothing, just a stretched out costume party in sunny Fiji.
