�X�periment gone wrong!
11 directors telling 11 stories within a single framework hasn�t gone down as the best of ideas with each having their own prospective and messing up the movie badly. Editing is also not something I liked. The story gets so confusing that the audience actually starts to saturate and get really bored. The experiment to break the mundane framework of modern movies have resulted in a mundane film itself. Though you might enjoy the story between SwaraBhaskar and AnshumanJha who plays the younger version of K. (more)

Exploring the twisted human psyche
The film is a take on the art of storytelling and filmmaking and how perspectives define the way we see things, and our assumption of them about being good or bad. Kishen, played by Rajat Kapoor, is a successful filmmaker who has had several women in his life and one fine night he realises how each one of them has shaped his life. The film spans just one night in the life of K, as Kishen likes to call himself, and the morning after. But during this one night, he�s forced to revisit every single woman he has been with, through flashbacks.(more)

Movie Review
A film is an amorphous mass and on that count this one doesn't deliver. Its scattered screenplay makes the subplots feel disjointed. The protagonist K is caricaturish - a restless artist stuck in a creative limbo, narrating his escapades (romantic liaisons and sexcapades).(more)

X: Past Is Present for its delightful cheekiness.
With 11 different directors taking turns to narrate a single story about a man who survives a series of failed relationships � it delivers a m�lange of styles, genres and colour palettes. But one thing that X: Past Is Present certainly isn�t is incoherent. While drawing its appeal primarily from its freewheeling structure, the film stays on course even as the protagonist�s mnemonic peregrinations follow no chronological sequence. (more)

A piece of kitsch with incidental joys and a lot to crib about
The set of directors comprises some of the most widely-revered critics in the country. And making an honest presentation of your Gonzo piece of filmmaking to an industry from which you've yourself demanded the highest standards of perfection, is like making a larger point about the art of filmmaking; and perhaps even about the common decency of filmmaking.(more)
