Rajkummar Rao goes completely dark in Hansal Mehta's deft docu-drama
As the film does not delve much into the particular subject's personal life, it becomes more of a larger comment on communal hatred and the futility of religion when it is used to propagate violence and evil purposes.(more)

Rajkummar Rao's stellar performance carries Hansal Mehta's gripping, clinical terrorography
Omerta's pace is so unrelenting and Rao's acting so immersive that it is impossible to turn away from the screen for a single moment of the film�s compact 97 minutes and 37 seconds. To call it gripping might be an understatement.(more)

As real as it can get
This film had the potential to shake you to your core with the thought that people like Omar exist in the world. Instead, Hansal Mehta focuses on just the ideological aspects of the character, choosing not to delve into what makes him tick. The director has not invested much screentime into how Omar plans his complex actions or what drove him to such abhorrence. So while Mehta gets the mood right, and Rajkummar works wonders with his limited material, 'Omerta' fails to stir you emotionally.(more)

Rajkummar Rao Gives Pitch Perfect Performance In This Riveting Thriller
In recounting a widely documented tale, the screenplay hits the right thriller buttons. When violence is perpetrated indiscriminately and without any moral context created with the aid of a detailed back story, it can only be deeply disconcerting. Omerta is just that and therein lies its success.(more)

A surprisingly passion-less biopic of Omar Saeed Sheikh
Omar, the outsider, finds a few pleasures for himself here, in food, and in his superior hierarchical position, assumed naturally in the subcontinent, as the "one from London"(more)

Hansal Mehta's portrait of terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh is dull
Ultimately his portrait of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh inspires neither fear nor disdain. It leaves you empty and wondering as to what drew Mehta to this guy in the first place.(more)

OMERTA belongs to Rajkummar Rao - no doubts on that.
OMERTA has some engrossing moments and Rajkummar Rao�s award-worthy performance as its USP. But the unconventional narrative and dark, violent theme of the film will restrict its appeal. Box office wise, this film will have a tough road ahead but critically, it�s bound to get accolades.(more)

Rajkummar Rao Takes You To A Journey You Wish Never Should've Happened
Omerta has enough elements to keep you glued to your seats. Rajkummar Rao is outstanding and yet again nails another character coming out of a Hansal Mehta film.(more)
