Subjects Audience, Actors And The Genre To A Massive Dhokha

Much has already been said about the quality of the acting in this film. It would be unfair to blame the cast for failing to paper over the numerous creases that mar the script. The film subjects not only the audience and the actors but also the medium and the genre to a massive dhokha they could have done without.(more)

Holds you hostage and doesn't let you blink

he real winner is Aparshakti Khurana. He seamlessly shifts between being comically volatile and endearingly vulnerable. His Kashmiri accent gets overboard in parts but showcases his effort. Debutante Khushalii is objectified but not without purpose. She plays a woman with a mental ailment with ease. She is not overly hysterical and her disorder is best conveyed in sly smiles and shifting eyes. Madhavan feels a bit one-note while Darshan ably executes the role of a stern cop. We have seen films like Dhokha. Too many doors are opened too soon and later, the makers struggle to shut the right ones. Sometimes, in the compulsion of making it thrilling, the plot gets lost.

A Costly Crime Patrol Episode Where Only Aparshakti Khurana Took The Assignment Seriously & Rest Were Just Clueless

I repeat myself for the zillionth time, people with all the money and influence are creating this without even being afraid of the scrutiny their decisions may receive. Maybe the audience is being taken too lightly. Demand what you are worthy of, not something that includes the pop culture on the poster and serves brainless fodder.(more)

The film is enough to drive anyone around the bend

The film wants you to ask these questions, as it goes about cutting back and forth from the flat from where the fugitive is making demands of money and a getaway vehicle, and the posse of cops down below, with a battery of TV reporters noisily standing by.(more)
