GrimPrecise I'll tell you why so serious
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
CriticGirl91 I liked the suspense of the movie, which many seem to criticize for failing to deliver a high point. The truth is, we are accustomed to expecting so much drama that the most obvious, in-your-face answers are unpredictable. And the movie sure got me waiting for the climax impatiently.The story is very interesting, especially for a fan of mysteries like myself. Emraan is really good in his performance. I was disappointed with Vidya though, a brilliant actor like her using gimmicks like shouting every two minutes is jarring. I can't comment much about the rest of the cast though.Where the movie loses out is the lack of depth. If it did not want to go right into the subject, it could have been more fast paced in the bargain. The characters are unexplained as well. We hardly know anything substantial about the people in the movie by the end of it. The attempts at comedy would only impress juveniles-for whom anything and everything that is related to sex is daring, real and gutsy. Irrespective of whether it actually makes for humor or not.A movie with great potential, that failed to deliver. I would recommend watching it only for its unusual suspense, and Emraan Hashmi's performance.
braddugg A wonderful starter had a sour dessert that made the whole dinner bad. It had a wonderful premise and in fact a terrific robbery scene that I must acknowledge as a great one with the use of those really funny and original props. Come on, we have a mask of Utpal Dutt, it can't be funnier than that. But after the first half, the director seemed to have lost it all. The way first half ends and the whole movie ends are completely radical and irrational to say the least. The writes seems to have lost all ideas in the deliberation to make it a really engaging film. All the good ideas were plotted so early that the ones that come in the later part of the film seemed very dull and indeed boring. You cannot have ridiculous things happen and repeat them time and over again just to make it look funny. When you overdo something, it becomes dis likable more often than not and that's what happens even to few delicious dinner table dialogs and those original costumes of Vidya Balan.About the casting, I was happy with Rajesh Sharma (Pandit) and Namit Das (Idris) and even Emraan Hashmi (Sanjay) managed to pull off a good deal but it was Vidya Balan (Neetu) who was completely miscast. She defied my logic of going to a movie for her by selecting a very low-key role and her Punjabi accent seemed so fake. Utterly disappointed by Vidya Balan and I will be cautious next time in watching her movie. The cinematography was good and even the background music. But editing undid ail the good work by others, this movie seemed too long and too repetitive, are those too many dinner scenes and too many references to the fashion magazines necessary? I really doubt. Also, the art direction was commendable as the whole apartment was setup very realistically and even the locales were real. Yet, good things turn bad when they are overdone. This film is an example of a good premise written so very lazily and deliberated into a film that it makes us run away from it after a while. Except for 45 minutes, all remaining time is lost and can never be bought back. Only because I have my own discipline of reviewing each film I watch, I am posting it. I may save 3 hours of someone's valuable time too by sharing a bad review. A 1/5 for this, nothing more.
sankhan99 This movie is not as bad as its reviews are. In fact, it very refreshing comedy/thriller. I think audience and critics didn't take it in its spirit or its ahead of its time. Any person can enjoy it at any time.Story is very well written. There are no big loopholes in it. Director has done a great job. Though plot was very small but they spread it very well over 2 hours. Acting wise, Emraan has done a great job. I am and never was a great fan of his acting skills but he proved in this movie that he is great actor and you will love watching him. Vidya is miss-cast in my view. Though she is great actor but I think makers of this movie picked her because of her success streak. Otherwise a pure Punjabi actress would do much better job and brought more reality, particular culture and ascent in this role. Even Juhi Chawal despite her age was better choice than Vidya.All in all, its a must watch. Its little bit experimental film but its very easy to digest. One thing I'll must say that it will glue you to your seat till the end though you might feel little boring at some instances. But you'll not regret watching it.
keepmissingme Where's the money ? Where's the money ?? That's all you can really hear through out the movie. It starts off well and then its a nose dive. I would never recommend this movie to anyone. I can't believe Vidya Balan decided to do this movie. There are just a few funny moments. Well you cant really call them funny. I love both Emraan Hashmi and Vidya but I will think twice before watching their movie again. Waste of time and money. Very poor direction, screenplay. A few dialogues were good and funny but other than that an embarrassment. Hope Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan learn from their mistakes and think twice before signing up even if your husband is producing the film.
