Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

MONIL HARIYA Great Finding of bollywood is Rajeev Khandelwal.Superb Performance by all Star Cast but specially Rajiv.. Felt good that Rajshri promote such movies.. Good Going.. With you guys.. Sorry to Post late.. Awaiting for 2nd Part.. Story was griping, smooth flowing, location was good, background score was perfect, camera angle almost perfect.. Applause for Director and this team... Rajiv is maturing by every cinema he does... Do more cinema or Theater so we can watch your performance.. And my review will be incomplete if I don't say anything about Sanjay Masoom's dialouges. It is just great. This is the very first time when I like his dialogues. Overall the 'Samrat and Co' is a wonderful movie. It is really worth watching.

ANUNAY SHARMA Samrat and co. is a mystery thriller film but it lacks a plot.It may be tauted as a thriller but it also lacked thrills.The movies relies heavily on Rajeev and he does his job nicely.The main problem of the movie was its lazy script.This story seems good on paper but on screen it was too loose containing a lot of plot holes.The story was so simple but it was dragged too much.It could have been trimmed for at least 20-25 mins.From the beginning the mystery has been created very nicely but its conclusion was too boring.The climax of the movie was on of the biggest drawbacks of this movie.But still it was a non- predictable plot which was engaging.It was neither too boring nor too good.In acting department Rajeev does a fantastic job.He looked good in the role and played it well.The direction of the movie was weak.Some dialogues of the movie were good while some were confusing and irritating.Such types of movie needs a solid characterization and this film is weak in this section.Music was average but the locations were good and gave pleasure to the eyes.Overall it is an Indian version of Sherlock holmes which could have been better but was marred by a bad plot.Still it could be watched once as it a bit different from usual bollywood flicks. RATING : 6.3 out of 10

binducherungath Read this review at http://moviereviewsbybinduc.blogspot.in/2014/05/samrat-co.htmlThe Plot: Samrat & Co., an Investigative Thriller movie, is an effort of the director Kaushik Ghatak to give India its Sherlock Holmes (and of course Watson as well). But somewhere the effort fizzles out. Story of a case handled by Samrat Tilakdhari (Rajeev Khandelwal, erstwhile television heart-throb – Sach ka Samna, Kahin to Hoga fame), a detective who is extraordinarily observant man. He handles only those cases which give him a feeling of thrill and adventure. He wears trench- coat, derives inferences about people he has just met. But he utters his words so fast that as an audience, I could not comprehend half of them. His 'Watson' Chakradhar aka CD (Gopal Datt), calls Samrat STD (Sharp Teekhi Drishti) and hosts a programme called Chakradhar ka Chakraview.Dimpy Singh (Madalsa Sharma) arrives at the doorstep of Samrat. Before Dimpy could even speak out the reason behind her visit, Samrat spells out breathlessly about Dimpy and her background and in the process impresses her. Dimpy had a strange case for Samrat i.e. both her garden and her father Mahendra Pratap Singh (Girish Karnad) are suffering after the death of a gardener, followed by the premature death of a horse. Flowers don't bloom in her garden, and Mahendra Pratap Singh's mental health is deteriorating. He is paranoid about lot many things. Dimpy wants Samrat to unfold the mystery behind these things.Samrat decides to take up the case, and goes along with Dimpy to her palatial mansion in Shimla. There he meets Dimpy's brothers, elder one Sanjay Singh (Priyanshu Chatterjee), and the younger one Vijay Singh (Indraneil Sengupta). Sanjay welcomes Samrat whereas Vijay did not approve of Samrat initially. A mysterious fire catches a tree (the fire looked absolutely animated and artificial). Mahendra Pratap Singh recognizes Samrat as detective and warns him so as to stay just as Dimpy's friend and not as a detective in the house.Thereafter, lots of characters are introduced: Divya Singh (Shreya Narayan) – undergoing psychiatric treatment, Narayani Dave (Smita Jaykar as wife of Mahendra Pratap Singh), Revati Singh (Barkha Bisht), manager Deepak (Rajneesh Duggal), Puran Kaka (Ravi Jhankal), Maid Shanti, a Kleptomaniac (Puja Gupta), Hari (Navin Prabhakar), Satyadev Baba (Ramgopal Bajaj), Bhaumik Sampat (Inspector Khalid), Pradeep Welankar (DGP Arjun) etc.Mahendra Pratap is found murdered in his room and the main suspect is Vijay, the younger son, who is accused of smothering his dad to death. Samrat tries to get to the depth of this murder, but then what ensues is series of mysterious deaths. Many characters mentioned above turn out to be the suspects as well.Did Vijay actually kill his father ? Why there were more suspects? Was it a group attempt ? What were the logics which made the suspects the 'suspects' in Samrat's eyes ? How did Samrat reach the actual murderer ? What were the motives of the murderer (s) ? Watch the movie to seek the answers.Cast and their Performance: Rajeev Khandelwal is a very intense actor and he has given great performances in the past. But he has not given a power-packed performance in this movie. His dialogue delivery is at such fast pace (probably to justify his STD image), but does not go very well. Nothing much to mention about other cast. Girish Karnad, another great actor, is completely wasted in this movie.

neha_1307 One of the best detective movie made in India. There are very few detective movies that are made in India. Samrat and Co is unique in all regards. Awesome Dialogues. This is a Movie which not only provokes you to think but also makes you laugh now and then. It is a fast paced movie. I would recommend it as "Must watch". Sweet, Light, Intriguing:). Watch out for Watson aka CD he will help you to relax your facial muscles with his one liners :). Chemistry between STD and CD is superb:). The only drawback of the movie is the heroine. she looks very plastic but thankfully she does not have much to do. "Tch" signature of STD will totally make you go mad.
