Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

ragpap93 A thought provoking piece with a great cast driven by Paresh Rawal as Mr. Khan. Table No. 21 is a game show with one rule if you lie you die. It starts with a person who fell to the ground from a height and people took out their camera phones and were shooting the guy on the ground having a fit and shared the video on the internet. It is a mystery, meanwhile we see a couple on a flight going somewhere. The opening credits is provided and one of the two songs in this movie. Though a good song you could skip it if you like. They live mediocre lives and win a vacation to Fiji, where they were flying to. Mr. Khan persuades them to play the game show with a chance to win millions. As the game progresses we realize that Mr. Khan has a hidden agenda. There is something in the flashbacks the couple keep having at every question they were being asked. An important social message at the end just after another good song. The songs, they blend in well with the character's moods. Do not worry the movie is quite short for a Hindi, Indian movie. It is really entertaining, not for kids under 14 so everyone else do not miss it.

CriticGirl91 I watched this one on my tab, and chose to skip (or fast forward) a majority of it, because a lot of scenes were either plain gory, or unnecessarily titillating.The movie until the entry of Paresh Rawal is too boring to bear. There is a very forced song in the beginning, and the dialogs are not interesting either. Once Rawal enters, the dialogs get more annoying with Rajeev's character acting like a smart Alec for no reason. But at least the story begins there.So there was a scene of a murdered guy at the beginning, and a lot of netizens viewing the disturbing picture, and we are then introduced to table 21. So, it appeared that this is a game for everyone. It seemed that the movie had some take on violence and porn selling over the internet today. But no, in a shocking climax, the game is specifically tailored to Rajeev and Tina. This haywire connection is the main difficulty of the movie.Rajeev and Tina's characters come across as pretty stereotypical at the start, with Rajeev being a daring, loving, and honest hero; and Tina the greedy, immoral and insensitive counterpart. Throughout the game (which has horribly uninteresting and predictable questions and tasks), Rajeev acts like a man of honor. But in the climax, we meet a Rajeev who is actually very cruel. And his remorse at the end made the distinction between these two Rajeevs even more confusing. Poor Tina does not get one substantial dialog in the entire film, like any other Hindi movie heroine. Not that she impresses in her limited role either.Besides these indigestible twists and turns, it is even more hard to accept the storyline in general, that is very superficially presented. Despite Rawal's crystal clear and understandable motives against the leads, his knowledge of the very intricate details of their lives is hard to believe.In terms of acting, Paresh Rawal is as fabulous as ever. Rajeev is impressive too, but he has certainly performed better in films like Shaitaan in the past. The dark genre seems to have become his forte.For a movie to take on a grave topic like bullying and ragging associated with it, it needs to be more honest than a scandalizing thriller. More than bringing about the plight of a victim of bullying, the movie throws in the whole angle as a kind of mere justification to the torture meted out to the lead couple.The movie borrows from the concept from Sach ka Samna, and the gameshow was certainly much better than this unimaginable hash up of events. Bollywood, don't take up topics too real for you to deal with.

namashi_1 Aditya Datt's 'Table No. 21' is An Interesting Thriller, that serves a dark yet absorbing story with a highly shocking & depressing culmination. Even the performances, are commendable! 'Table No. 21' Synopsis: A couple live a mediocre life and are thrilled to have won an exotic vacation to Fiji & their excitement increases when they get a chance to play a game for a mind boggling prize money.'Table No. 21' is thoroughly a thriller, although its dark & gets very heavy in its final act, which is highly shocking & depressing.

babansonia I rarely am moved to write a review. This movie was a surprise. All films don't need big Bollywood names in order to be a delight. I do my best not to go by reviews and closed my ears to any information about this movie and thought I was in for a relaxing average time pass film. To my surprise- this movie had better than average acting by 'newcomers', it actually had a plot and clearly defined characters, the story was gripping, screenplay and cinematography was tropical and beautiful....by interval I was scared and curious to watch the rest, and it had the ingredients of a good film with a story that had a beginning, middle and end. Some huge budget and well cast films are missing these things. The ending was also a true surprise. I gave the film 10 stars because it took me somewhere else and had a clear ending....it had me glued till the end (and I am not easily impressed:-)....most films run out of budget by the end and it is evident in stories which abruptly end or are left open ended!Also the music was not bad at all. This was a well rounded and well done film.Excellent film.....must see for college age kids!
