| New York TimesRachel SaltzLooks at dying in a comic-cosmic way that embraces both magical thinking and fatalism. |
| User ReviewSiddhant KJohn Abraham's acting was stupendous. Sentimental movie as it was expected, but couldn't bring out a tear drop, which does not mean that the movies isn't good. The movie's story is brand new, haven't seen a movie before like this. Marvelous direction and story line. The movie has it all. A must watch for people who can bear slow movies. According to me no actor except John would have suited that role, John seriously carried out his role so brilliantly that now he on my favorite actors list which also has Leonardo, Robert De Neiro......... |
| User ReviewRikhyashin DA must watch movie...One of the best movies in 2010... |
| User ReviewHarpreet SInteresting film by Nagesh Kukunoor, it is directed well. A clever and different way of story telling, keeps you glued to the screen. John Abraham can act, but Anaitha Nair steals the show! One of the finer Bollywood films to come out recently. |
| User ReviewSudeshna MVery depressing movie,. Though the direction and execution very smooth. It has lot of substance to say. John Abraham first time tried some off beat role to prove himself. He needs more maturity to make this kind of role though. But he tried his best to achieve it. |
| User ReviewFaisal Ma well made movie by kukunoor. john acted very well but the young girl did a fantastic job. this movie wont be liked by everyone beacuse it is very very different.enjoyed the movie |
| User ReviewPavan RI thought it was quite an interesting story and different viewpoint on the end of life. It's an open ended story which makes it less cliched. I think Kukunoor has succeeded in making an interesting moving or a sad topic. |
| User ReviewAjayesh SMovies about death are rare in themselves, as its the toughest topic to make a movie about. Kukoonoor goes one step ahead and takes a stab at the very concept of dying. Most will find this movie disconcerting and heavy, but I think its a good attempt. I do wish Kukoonoor had waited to mature as a filmmaker prior to tackling this subject, he'd have done a superior job. The emotions are somehow lacking in the pull required from a death flick and it shows. The cast is too inexperienced for this subject and overall, it turns out just OK. But a great concept with execution lacking finesse expected. |
| User Reviewmayankesh jI walked out half way through.. really depressing. |
