Yeh Saali Zindagi
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...superb, sharp, risqué and original.
-
An entertaining screwball-noir is also in the running for the year’s unlikeliest love story.
-
...this is one crazy ride that entertains to the fullest and will leave you with a smile.
-
Dark, devious and different...
-
A daring film with a brand new approach, it's impulsive and engaging with skilful direction and power-packed performances as its strong points.
-
...a racy entertainer which blends the right amount of romance, comedy and thrill.
-
The idea is to project mess and chaos. Indeed surplus characters and subplots often make YSZ an overwhelming experience to endure. But if you are up for the challenge to explore Delhi's shifty facet, it's rewarding too.
-
It's quirky and funny. It's twisted and largely unpredictable. It's pacy and just the right amount of overwhelming. It is dark and carries off a style of its own.
-
Brutal, savage funny and violent YSL is not for the weak-hearted.
-
...is like a blueberry cheesecake. A delightful little trifle that works because the actors don't think they are auditioning for a consumer ad or a fashion glossy photo shoot.
-
With Yeh Saali Zindagi, just like its hatke title, Mishra presents a thrilling and hatke account of two men and the lengths they go to for love.
-
The film is much too long, indulgent and exhausting but if you’re willing to work with it, there is considerable fun to be had.
-
Yup, it does get very complicated but what the hell, still the result is a pretty engrossing mind-teaser. Can’t leave your brains at home for this one.
-
...takes its time to unfold, but it’s a delicious little treat if you muster the patience for it.
-
You leave for home with an exhilarating ride, still reeling in your head -- though not quite the heart.
-
...the film could have had a more uniformity in its pacing, which is sometimes slow and at other times fast truly like a thriller.
-
There is a lot of quirkiness in the film and a dark wry humour. But while it has some largely interesting moments, YSZ is let down by its need to overstate itself. The narrative is bursting at its seams.
-
This film is only for those audience who appreciate this genre of cinema -- dark and dreary.
-
...pretends to be intelligent, but it's just another 'it's cool to be bad' crime caper.
-
...is an apt representation of the misdirected new wave in Bollywood. A wave where gloss overshadows meat.
-
Mishra wants to be cool and quirky, like Guy Ritchie, but to paraphrase New Yorker critic Anthony Lane, he forgets the first rule of cool: don’t try to be.
-
Other characters drift in and out of this crowded, disjointed film, which keeps giving us expository labels as to location and situation.
-
...hugely disappointing...
