Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

liso-georgethomas This movie will shake your beliefs on our system. The first reaction that came to my mind after watching this film is that we finally made something at par of Korean movie Memories of Murder or Hollywood movie JFK. As a Music Composer, as a Film Director or as Writer Vishal Bhardwaj has proved time and time again why he is one of finest Craftsman/Creator of this era. Superb Performances from all cast. Hats off to Meghna Gulzar & Team for making this film. It's easily one of the most hard hitting film of our times.

damagecasek If you compare this to a regular mainstream hindi flick, its Citizen Kane. If you compare this to inspired-by-real-life thriller/dramas... then it flawed, unnecessary and anti-climatic.The movie tries, but ends up neither a who-dunnit, nor a social commentary, nor a movie that exposes corruption, nor does it sheds light on anything shocking.The movie is based on a botched investigation of a famous double murder. The investigation aspect shown in the movie is flawed. Even a regular audience member can point out mistakes and assumptions being portrayed as evidence that no one could think of. The corruption/botched up investigation aspect is lightly touched upon. Then there is a parallel track of Irrfan and Tabu's separation which seems completely unnecessary and idiotic. It does not symbolize anything related to the story and looks absurd.Performances are fine. Indian cinema has definitely produced such close-to-real-life now and then, so this isnt anything special. Irrfan Khan is a splendid actor who doesnt need my vote. But this seems like a cakewalk role for him. It couldve been portrayed by anybody. In fact, he looks like a caricature of his usual self. Konkona is another fabulous actress. But her character doesnt have anything special to do in the movie. That too couldve been portrayed by anybody. Seems more insulting to the genre and serious cinema if you take known actors to sell your movie.I wouldve preferred a thoroughly researched documentary than this.

Babin I was pleasantly surprised to see the movie, as the trailer had not appealed much to me. The direction, specially in the first half was impeccable. It provides sufficient content to people who have followed the case closely as well as to people who have not. The performances were extremely credible. The movie is a fresh breath in the air from the over-dramatic song and dance sequences which we see in most Hindi films.Now to the few weaknesses. There was an obvious bias from the point of view of the screenwriter, something which could be easily gotten away with. The subplot involving Tabu seemed a little forced.However, I really appreciate the thrill factor which the director was able to sustain throughout the film. Meghna Gulzar has a lot of potential as a director. Expect more such gems from her.

silvan-desouza Few months before RAHASYA released which also was based on the same real life case. But this film got an edge and also more acclaim. The film is brilliantly handled by Meghna Gulzar who ones upon a time gave us FILHAAL(2002) and what a comeback! The film keeps you on the edge throughout, all the twists and turns are well handled and several scenes hit you like a ton of a bricks. My only gripe with the film is the fun made on religion(the position of sex in a scene is shown as a religious way) which could be avoided. Other then that the film is superb. The film also makes you laugh at several scenes like the scene when Irrfan beats the cop and also later towards the end when both sides of the party argue.Direction is superb,Vishal Bharadwaj's presence does loom large throughout but yet she has done a good job Music is okayIrrfan Khan is excellent as always, he is one of the rare actors who gets into the characters so easily Konkona Sen Sharma is excellent as always, Neeraj Kabi is adequate rest are all good, especially Prakash Belawadi, Tabu has a cameo and is okay
