Bollywood Diaries

Critics Review

3.00

An ordinary film that touches the heart!

The film shows the actual struggle behind the glory and glitter that one sees through movies and stardom. It emphasizes on the fact that, it is indeed difficult to be a someone in Bollywood, either you don�t have talent or you don�t have luck in the crowd of million dreamers. But again, the story is not something one hasn�t heard or seen before and that�s the point where film suffers although having its heart in the right place. In all, if you have similar desires or interested in knowing about the hardships of a Bollywood aspirant, then this movie will surely be a good watch for you! (more)

It is adequate but not evocative enough.

Bollywood Diaries is one of those rare films that you would want to invest in but the half-baked narrative is not successful in holding your attention.In this country, the glam world permeates into every sphere of our lives. Behind the shine of stardom, there is the struggle of multitudes, who are unable to make it big here. Is this film a befitting tribute to them? No. Lamentably, even with its noble intention and strong performances, the movie never soars.(more)

Bollywood Diaries might have had more to write home about.

Although the film is not without its moments, in the end its labours are somewhat akin to Rohit's ill-advised exertions. If only the disparate elements were better dovetailed into the larger picture it seeks to paint, Bollywood Diaries might have had more to write home about. It is disappointing that it doesn't because the premise did have a great deal of promise.(more)

Bollywood Diaries is a good attempt but fails to pack a solid punch.

Bollywood Diaries captures the struggles of these three protagonists, and how they deal with failure. Though the film has its heart in the right place, it�s too slow and predictable. But yes, there are moments in the film that are absolutely heart-wrenching. The music is surprisingly good. Performance wise, all the actors have played their parts well but it's Ashish Vidyarthi who totally nails the role. (more)

Brilliant tribute to Bollywood struggling actors

The disclaimer in the end, which reads �Bollywood Diaries� is a tribute to all those, who are still struggling to get their dreams fulfilled is impressive. I am glad that director K. D. Satyam showed an ending, which one can connect with.(more)
