Just when I was losing hope in bollywood movies, I have watched this.it is so good, it is a simple story but well executed. Although it is very predictable, this movie is not about the climax, but rather about the "journey".Kudos to the producers who invested in such a simple, no-nonsense movie as opposed to the regular overhyped bollywood movies.

I have watched a lot of period movies that were more realistic and enjoyable than this, like Jodha Ackbar, mangal Pandey, lagaan, etc. India is so full of history that they could make over 1000 interesting history movies, too bad Bollywood blew this one. Everything is so overdone, the music, the dialogues, the expressions. I do not know how much of it is true but a lot of the situations seemed forced, making it look fake and unrealistic. A lot of scenes were just to wake up the feministic spirit of audience and did not flow in the story. I am pretty sure that Kashibai did more than just say "Mani" warningly in her whole life. A lot of the dialogues are typical from bollywood movies, i doubt that peope from that era would speak this way. Few of the british dialogues were literally translated form hindi expressions, hence made no big impact. Also, you can just skip the first half on the movie so you dont doze off.

This movie is subtle but had a powerful message. Although the drama is overdone and the end is very predictable, it has a nice story and the cast was great as well

As a fan of the old version i didnt want to watch the new one. But im so glad i did. its such nicely done. the cast, music, dialogues, humor, everything was so on point and exceeded my expectations. all scenes were perfectly executed and the story is so overwhelming..

Overdramatic script. even if this movie was not based on a real character, it would still be bad. The humour is forced, story is draggy and overdramatisation of everything. actors execute their characters well but script was very poor.

Whatever the hell the makers were thinking while doing this movie. I haven't watched the old version so I am pretty sure my opinion is not biased. It is very sad that the director thinks that he could entice his audience with such a huge load of cheesiness and very lame phrases. The cast does not even stand up to the level, except for the Vizier. Plus it seems that they do not know the difference between middle east culture and Indian culture. I dont know if all these look the same to you but I am pretty sure that back in the days, the middle east did not resemble as it was portrayed in the movie. And the ending was so dragyyy, like just end it already but no, we have more scenes to disappoint the audience.

A lil bit of Agneepath, A lil bit of Sholay, Some humor, some action, lots of drama, typical 1990s movie

Mahesh Bhatt strikes again with a story of real life of "respected" people in a conservational society

A very good story about how life changes in 1 second. The political system , youth of the country, literacy all these are so intertwined with each other it makes it so hard to solve these problems . All actors are amazing. Truly an great pice of work by RGV and I still believe AB is tooo underrated. This guy is an amazing actor

The story is very strong however direction does not do enough justice to it. The ensemble cast is pretty weak. Irrfan Khan is a real boss who does a fantastic job but the rest of them, especially the female actors do not stand to the standard. Nikhil Advani does not stand to my expectations in this movie. The script is not that enticing and this makes the movie feel too long. Could ve been better with a better script and stronger cast

An amazing movie. Bajpayee's performance is amazing, he is so underrated. Great work by director. A lil bit of crime, a lil bit of innoncence and a lot of selfishness shown in this movie. although some scenes could have been clearer. Having a lot of dark scenes create suspense but sometimes viewers may miss out on events.

A very good way to portray how the Mumbai underworld works. Ajay devgn gives an amazing performance as usual. A very good actor who always does justice to the character. The music is very good. Overall great movie direction with good message. Bollywood should have more movies like this

The makers are too interested to make it resemble like Pride and Prejudice. They could just make a zombie movie in the Victorian era instead of spoiling the original Pride and Prejudice. Sam Riley is not that good of a Mr Darcy. I am sure you can have better British actors for the role.
