  • So-so

    ok ok, once watchable

    by Aldrin

    Nothing great about the movie. But sure once watchable !!

  • No

    Not the usual Amir Khan movie

    I found this movie to be too abstract for mass to understand. Could not understand what was the message or reason this movie was made. It is an art movie to be precise but still not convincing in that catagory. I am sure this will not leave Amir with box office hits but directorial work is good. The acting is good (this goes for all of them) Also the potrayal of mumbai is good. I am sure this movie was not for common mass and I wish Amir is able to atract his target audiance. For me this was a disappointment probably because of my expectations. Can be watched with kids- no adult scenes. Better luck next time Kiran rao!!!

  • Must Go!
