Clevercell Very disappointing...

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Geeta Winsome Mirzya was a definite disappointment to me. The director has a sterling reputation for putting out great movies; however, he failed miserably with Mirzya. The story-line, based on a Punjabi folktale, was poorly written and confusing; the scenes and the flashbacks were monotonous and meaningless, the main actors were awful: their faces were for the most part expressionless, and in Harsha's case, he seemed to be unable to deliver his lines with conviction. Both of the young stars need to take acting lessons at A. Kher's acting academy. What a waste of potential and any viewers time.

aniruddhabonny I've given the movie a 4 just because it has Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's name in it. What I think the director wanted to do was to show two love stories, in two different timelines having the same consequences. It's not reincarnation of lovers movie like our favorite "Magadheera". And I watched the movie keeping that in mind, cause there's no way ROM sir will just rip of a storyline from another movie. Anyone who knows the legend of MIrza-Sahiban would say in hands of a great director, this story had the potential to become a blockbuster.Harshvardhan Kapoor, bro you tried hard, but not too hard to act as a stable boy in this movie. With that accent and poker face, it's hard for anyone to connect with your character. Saiyami Kher, well I don't have much to say about her. These two can act in a movie depicting City life of Mumbai or Delhi, maybe Harsh acting as a struggling fashion model and Saiyami as one of the top models in the business and show their love story or such. Harsh is way too modern to look like a stable boy...

Ankit Bhatnagar Some good random thoughts by R-O-Mehra, but fewer efforts were put to get them in shape. In an attempt to induce too much feel into the movie, the actual crux is lost. New actors Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher portrayed a good body language, despite having nothing much to showcase. Anjali Patil held her character well and was good in her little stint.Storyline Rating: 2 Content: 3 Commercialization: 3 Entertainment: 2Acting Rating: 2 Harshvardhan Kapoor: 2 Saiyami Kher: 2 Anjali Patil: 3 Anuj Choudhry: 3Direction Rating: 2Music Rating: 2Cinematography: 4Editing: 2

Maulin Parmar After a very high expectations, one should desire to gain something extraordinary. I'm from one of them. I'm die hard fan of Gulzar and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra. So, may be you can find it bias.The legend of Mirza-Sahiban was the concept which Rakesh had to filmed. For that his writer, Gulzar penned a similar story. And then narration goes smoothly in both the eras in the film. What made Sahiban to brake Mirza's arrows is the question to be found. And the team leaves you to think and find out whatever answer you would like to keep.Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan Kapoor is here as Mirza. And it's his debut film. Saiyami Kher plays the role of Sahiban. Both the newcomers had done above average work. All the other actors, like Om Puri, Art Malik and Anuj Chaudhary are good in their respective roles. Some dancers are there, and they keep coming to the screen to tell a pain in a folk-dance form. These little elements make this film a worthy watch.Otherwise, as far as story is concern, the question of broken arrows is good, but what else we want from the tale? Despite the fact that the team of Mirzya had not enough material to present, the team experiments and develops new things. In these new things, the major one is Indian Cultural Music.Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy & Daler Mehndi have given the music as well as background score. Gulzar has written lyrics in the form of poetry. Every single song with its meaningful words stays with you in your heart if you are able to listen it. If not, than just O Mirzyaa in the voice of Daler Paaji can able to melt your inner anger and you'll find yourself in some unknown moment which delivers only peace. Title track and Teen Gawah are five out of five songs. Every single bit of these songs are my obsession. I can't describe what I feel when I listen these songs, but for me it's wonderful experience. Hitchki, Hota Hai, Nadi, Chakora - all these songs deserve awards. No Indian movie has given this type of pure Indian music. And I'm not talking about only this year, I don't remember when did last time I hear these type of purity in Indian movie music. Hat's off! Now, let's talk about Cinematography by Pawel Dyllus. I can imagine whatever Mirzya film shows in Rajasthan. Though, that is superb, but let me be frank. I can imagine this type of cinematography. But... One thing is beyond my imagination, and that is the part of Ladakh. I can't imagine how difficult it was to shoot in Ladakh on such a large level. Like with the usage of 20 horses and 30 people, running here and there, and the little drops of water which move in slow motion with shining. Every single picture or shot is 100% perfect or even above that in the part of Ladakh.Director Rakesh Omprakash Mehra had given films like Rang De Basanti and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. These films got successful. But, Delhi-6 and Aks didn't. Mirzya will go in the second category. Box office collection will not be high as M.S. Dhoni is running nicely. And mix review of these movie will not get more people after weekend. The things will be remembered, are the visuals, the unusual film-making, the cultural music with great lyrics, the beauty of Ladakh & the answer of those broken arrows.Some people don't make films for money, or to be famous, they just make what they want to. I salute to Rakesh and his visions. Film will remain in my heart forever like one line of the title track speaks, 'Marta nahi hai Ishq O Mirza, Sadiyon Saahiban rahti hai'!Dare to love. Dare to be desirable. Dare to be like Rakesh. Dare to think and develop. Dare to do for self. Dare to be unusual.
