Greats actors but not a complete script .
daspankaj-9172729 March 2024
Message behind the story is real good but I don't understand ,is it necessary to insult people with dialogue of gau mata in the office ,it feels like they sub consciously insulting the Hindu faith but want us to accept the LGBT ,which I support but I hope scripts be fair and well messaged .

Just having a good actors isn't enough but the director and scripts plays a piebetol part .Hope they do so in the future and respects every other belief I order to be able to send the real message behind the movie .

People of this country aren't fool now anymore so be very prepared and spread the message you want to share and it will be appreciated.

Time waste
shivpatel-457489 February 2024
I thought i will be a amazing movie because of its actors but i disappointed with the whole movie i found it as time waste. Disappointment in a movie can stem from various factors, ranging from high expectations to poor execution. One might enter a theater with excitement, fueled by anticipation for a promising cast, only to leave feeling let down and as if precious time has been squandered. Such was my experience with a recent film, one I had hoped would be a cinematic marvel but, alas, fell short of its potential.

It was a balmy Friday evening when I decided to treat myself to a movie night, seeking solace in the dimly lit theater amidst a hectic week. The film in question had been buzzing with anticipation for months, boasting an ensemble cast that read like a who's who of Hollywood's finest. With actors of such caliber gracing the screen, my expectations soared, envisioning a narrative rich in depth and complexity, complemented by stellar performances.

As the opening credits rolled and the plot began to unfold, I found myself initially captivated by the visual splendor and the promise of what lay ahead. The cinematography was breathtaking, each frame meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of wonder and intrigue. However, as the story progressed, cracks began to surface, revealing a disjointed narrative plagued by predictability and lackluster character development.

Despite the best efforts of the esteemed cast, their performances felt stifled by a script that failed to fully explore the complexities of their respective roles. Moments that should have resonated with emotion fell flat, leaving me detached and unable to fully invest in the journey unfolding before me. It was as though the actors themselves were shackled by the constraints of a narrative that refused to transcend mediocrity.

Furthermore, the pacing of the film left much to be desired, with scenes dragging on longer than necessary, sapping the momentum and testing the patience of even the most dedicated viewer. What began as a promising premise soon devolved into a tedious exercise in endurance, with each passing minute feeling like an eternity trapped in celluloid purgatory.

Perhaps most disappointing of all was the lack of originality, with the plot following a tired formula that offered little in the way of innovation or intrigue. It was as though the filmmakers had taken a paint-by-numbers approach to storytelling, content to rehash tired tropes rather than blaze a trail of their own.

By the time the credits began to roll and the lights flickered back to life, I was left with a sense of profound disappointment and a nagging feeling of regret. Regret for having invested my time and energy in a film that ultimately failed to deliver on its promises, and regret for the missed opportunity to experience something truly remarkable.

In the end, my disappointment with the film was not born out of a lack of appreciation for the craft or the talent involved, but rather out of a desire for something more. More depth, more complexity, more originality. While the allure of a star-studded cast may have drawn me in initially, it was the absence of substance that ultimately left me feeling empty-handed.

As I stepped out of the theater and into the cool night air, I couldn't help but lament the wasted potential of what could have been. In the realm of cinema, as in life, there are no guarantees, and sometimes even the most promising of endeavors can fall short of our expectations. But perhaps therein lies the beauty of the medium - the endless possibility of discovery, even in the face of disappointment.

A good attempt at a low budget
First Story - This is the best of the three stories. Kaushik Ganguly is well known for his good deeds. That he is one of the biggest directors in India at the moment can be understood by looking at this short film. BGM and cinematography gave proper accompaniment to the direction. Without such good BGM by Indradip Dasgupta, the direction would not have been complete.

Second Story-Director Bhaskar Hazarika. I expected better work from the director of Milestones of Indian Cinema "Kothanadi", "Aamish". The content was good "advertisment covers the face". But the storyline was not compelling. There was a visible inertia in the performance of several people.

Third Story- Director Gurvinder singh. The best USP of the story is the script writing. Many talks are presented in very short time. Content and presentation is very interesting.

Overall - In all three stories there is a legitimate protest against the government system. Alternative avenues of protest in all three cases are quite interesting. Each storys are served to the audience mixed with good humor.

What a time waste shame on you guys
ashuandgupta10 February 2024
I don't know who they people are? Rating it 7-10 it's not worth of even zero rating. I would say -10 rating for this. People who are rating 7-10 are the team of this filmmaker. What a trash fully time waste I finished it in half an hour skipping it very fast. Don't watch it . Only the first part of it that was of half an hour was ok. In which Johny lever is a COP. And It was about message for LBTQ. Other than that 1 hour is totally garbage story. Gaaliya Dene ka man kar rha hai salo ko. Ye top review Dene Wale jaha mile pakad k pit dalo in sab ko. Desh ki janta ko pagal bna hai ye sarey milkr.

It's Totally Time Waste & Disappointing
muhaiminuliftihadrahmim12 February 2024
I Was Very Excited For This One For Two Actors Only.. And Both The Actors Are My Favourite... One Is Johnny Lever, And Other One Is Jitendra Kumar...! Waited For It's Release But I Didn't Expected It'll Be A Biggest Disappointment!

Story: Unfortunately There's No Story In The Whole Movie...! You Can't Figure Out What The Heck Is Happening... Writer Miserably Failed To Express The Story To The Audiences!! To Be Honest I Was Really Disappointed With The Whole Story! And Really Didn't Figure Out Why My Favourite Actors Like Johny Sir & Jeetu Bhaiya Did This Movie!

If You Don't Want To Waste Your Time Then I Suggest You Not To Watch This One!

I Want To Give 0/10 If There Was Any Option! Really Disappointing!!!

Movie with emotion and heart touch
nbaraipur10 February 2024
Movie is combination of 3 unrelated stories , but one common thing in all 3 stories is human emotional touch and have a message. A must watch movie. Movie script is so tight that it does not give room to think any thing else but to go with movie. Movie have Thriller , Emotion and everything but there are no romance and no songs in movie. First story revolves around social evil of not accepting LGBTQ as normal or atleast acceptable. Second story have most of drama and shows how life forces everything to do and sometimes everyone agree to make compromise because its question of life and death. Story may have some over reaction of situation. Third story give message of accepting challenge and do it despite all odds.

A Reflective Anthology on Contemporary Issues
mohit-tiwari9 February 2024
It is a compelling anthology that delves into issues like queer rights, caste inequality, and pandemic life with authenticity and emotional depth. Its stories are beautifully interwoven, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit. Stellar performances across the board bring these narratives to life, making each moment resonate. A visually stunning film that not only entertains but also provokes thought and dialogue. Highly recommended for its bold storytelling and impactful messages. This film is not just a cinematic journey but a mirror to contemporary issues, urging introspection and change. A brilliantly executed anthology that deserves accolades for its courage and artistry. Do watch and let it inspire conversations.

Finally a film we all needed
rohitatfilmsbyfilmbuffs9 February 2024
Lantrani is cinema we Indian deserve. , it will make you cry , it will make you laugh and the most important it will make you think . Actors have done fabulous job specially Johnny Lever we have seen the nee Avtar of him its not the same stereotype comedy its different and worth the watch . Story telling is smooth and it takes you in emotional lane , don't miss this one if you love cinema and story telling . Kudos to makers to bring such brave stories in main stream platform . Overall a decent watch , which will leave you thinking for longer time . It gives you a flavour of hrishikesh mukerjee cinema.

Anthology film and it is really a cinematic experience
qsqjnwrq9 February 2024
I recently saw the movie Lantrani and it is a great film you fully invested in it it's absolutely fantastic. This movie is filled with amazing actors and actresses. Everyone is taking full ownership of this film and played their role very well legendary performances. In this movie we can feel the emotions, drama, comedy and entertainment. The way story is presented is very well and very well written too and every story of the movie ends with a question to the society that you ask yourself it's logical, logically written and the slow music they all add to that joiner and everything is engages you. The character debu(Jitendra kumar)is silent but expressing himself by his actions. Finally I want to give a special shout-out to the production team neeljai films who made this movie for us.👏🏻👏🏻
