ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
hpal-03917 Pretty good movie, the acting was also very good. All the confusion keeps the movie interesting. Loved irfan khan like always.
shadow461 Very good comedy and actors have done a great job.. but didnt understand the point of blood and killing your associates ! we could have had blackmail without that aspect also.
achyutktelang From the reviews that I had seen, the movie was apparently good but not great. So my expectations weren't that high for the film and I was just looking forward to a fun film. But it turned out to be even better than what I thought!Irrfan as Dev is a weird but smart guy who lives in his own world and has quite a boring life with fixed routines and peculiar habits. When he catches his wife Reena (Kirti Kulhari) with her boyfriend Ranjit (Arunoday), he decides to blackmail them, not knowing what it was going to lead to.The movie tries to take the story to its full potential while striving to keep it from getting too complicated, which it succeeds in. The story-telling is good and the movie employs a lot of symbolism to convey some aspects of the story.The dark humour is done well and the movie has some outstanding moments, most of them including Irrfan who easily steals the show. This guy seems to do full justice to every role that he picks up and this is no exception. There is no 'hero' in this movie, but you would be rooting for Dev for sure. The entire supporting cast does its job well including Anand played by Pradhuman Singh who in fact is also the writer for dialogues in the movie. The film could have been shortened a bit while removing the song as well- my only two major complains with the film. Abhinay Deo, the director of Delhi Belly has given us a great film which is definitely worth watching and enjoying. A rare, good dark comedy from Bollywood that should not be missed.
edhirajm Cinematography was decent, music felt out of place because the parts that I felt to be serious was supposed to be making me feel "fun".Movie tried and failed at being a dark comedy for the story and took a bad comical fall intentionally. It sets up serious problems/consequences like a drama/psychological/crime movie and resolves it like a cheap cartoon.
