Great Story
8 March 2024
Great cinematography, direction, and acting by most of the artists except for the unrealistically rude behavior of retired couple's son who was sent abroad for the betterment and uplifting family status is not successful and still struggling with his economical and social struggles abroad. Powerful performance by Sanjay Mishra and Nina Gupta as usual.

Also one thing I did not understand that when the dead body was carried in two sacks on a rickshaw and bus, neither the rickshaw puller nor anyone on the bus could smell it.

Inspiring,Engaging and Thrilling
26 February 2024
The writer managed to tell that why brahmin astrologer appear in the Ruins from no where but he forgot to tell us that why a Sickle was half buried in the Ruins? Also he didn't tell us that why about the aftermath of the incident after the lead character returns. Like, they didn't reveal anything about the goons, or the people who hired them, in the story of the movie.

Other than that Situations, location, surroundings , night scenes of Ruins, a well , police behavior make that all real. Engaging and Thrilling. Tara Sutaria's Performance is good. Something new.

Rajpal Yadav as Gangstar, giving good expression but his gang is not impressed. Abhishek Banerjee is brilliant.

Season 2- Is Crime always Pays?
15 March 2023
Dibyendu Bhattacharjee is only silver lining. Direction, Dialogue, Screenplay, (over) action, and Visual appeal are just OK.

Rishi helped story writer by throwing memory card in the lawn. He suddenly decided to go to Delhi? He first hid in hospital and then got bored? The girl kept wearing that Katta/Bori till the end for no reason? Rinku didn't know how to hang or cut throats?

The story writer successfully proved that bad people are always lucky, they never miss a target and never lose. On the other hand, good people are always unlucky, they always miss a target and always lose.

Not bad but mixed stale tadka of Zombie Movies, Evil Dead and Resident Evil
29 September 2022
It is a well crafted story in the style of legend. Direction, cinematography and acting are also good. Considerable effort has also been made to explain the theory of possible biological effects on the human mind-brain and body due to unknown natural substance.

But the narrator was unable to put any original idea about the superhuman events taking place in the story and served a mixed stale tadka of Zombie Movies, Evil Dead and Resident Evil. If he would have thought an original hypothetical biological effect with a little hard work and it would have been a timeless story.

Some people might say that after all, what other effect can there be on the body. It is easy to give knowledge to others"Par Upadesh Kushal Bautere". So I would like to tell those people that I am a novelist myself. Please read my novel "Andheron Ka Sangratash" which is getting very popular among readers and critics. It is a superhuman science fiction thriller. Which is based on the possible biological effect mutation on the human mind-brain and body due to unknown substance. I claim that this is different from any story published in English or any other language.

Good but few clarification required
7 June 2022
Prithviraj Chauhan was blinded by Muhammad Shihabuddin Ghori in 1192 and then taken to Ghazni as a prisoner of war. He remained as a prisoner of war under the custady of Muhammad Shihabuddin Ghori's elder brother Muhammad Ghiyasuddin Ghori till his death in 1202.

The Ghori killed by Prithviraj Chauhan was this elder brother Muhammad Ghiyasuddin Ghori in 1202.

Then the younger brother Muhammad Shihabuddeen Ghauri got declared as King and he (Muhammad Shihabuddeen Ghauri) died in 1206(from the book "Akela Angrez" page no 75). For more details reed the book "Akela Angrez". You can get it on amazon by searching the name "Akela Angrez"

Weak story
24 April 2022
Story wise very immature. Just like a beginner novelist the writer created so many characters and they lost in the labyrinth and never found their way out in so called story. In other words the author literally forgot about them and added some subplots midway. Unconnected, unnecessary unending twists and scattered scenes. For example nudity in Sakshi Benipuri and Sharib Hashmi's bed scene was nothing but director's greed/cupidity to exploit fleshy beauty of Sakshi Benipuri's back. It was totally unnecessary.

Direction, cinematography, visual composition very poor. Unimpressive acting by Richa Chadha, Pratik Gandhi, Jatin Goswami.

Finally with all due respect I haven't read the novel ' Six Suspects' but if that's what the novelist wrote, I wouldn't want to read it.

Brilliant screenplay of an unconvincing story
13 March 2022
Kartik Aaryan, Mrunal Thakur, Amruta Subhash, and Soham Majumdar were justified with their roles. Vikas Kumar is Useless as always.

Brilliant screenplay of an unconvincing story.

Well-done
21 February 2022
Yami Gautam played such a tough negative role without a dirty, disgusting, horrible and tough makeup in a very realistic and believable way. She proved that if you have acting ability then for doing negative role there is no need to look dirty, disgusting, and terrible by makeup.

Everything is good except Vikas Kumar as ACP Younus Khan. He is extremely disappointing. He has no expression at all. He is just good for nothing.

Waste of time
16 November 2021
The director is crazy to bring out the artistry, so he made the scenes so short and imaginary that even after putting a lot of stress on the mind, the stories are not understandable.

Brilliant Engaging story
10 November 2021
Boloram Das is Brilliant as always. Engaging story and screenplay. All the actors brilliantly lived their characters., direction, camera angle, visual composition all just unique. Heartfelt congratulations to the entire team, especially to the author.

I don't know that why some dumb didn't understand the climax and want someone to explain. It was crystal clear.

Very ordinary Story
10 September 2021
Like any innocent son from the old movies, Major Rajveer was able to get a chance to tell his father everything else, but fails to justify his innocence to his misbehaving father. The Author did not put effort into the story from this point of view. Father Raj Babbar's over acting also creates boredom.

A brilliant story plot ruined

A brilliant story plot ruined by the story writer who has no clue about this Indian myth. What a waste of lot of talents.

Not bad
7 January 2021
Brilliant story, realistic scene and a bengali CBI OfficerSatakshi Ganguly (Mahie Gill) with punjabi accent . Also South movies are famous for their over acting so this film is not exception. Still not bad for an afternoon time pass. Sanjay Agnihotri Novelist

Brilliant Work
28 November 2020
Everybody did a good job but it was Abhishek Bachchan for whom I rooted for. I got hooked with his track after his character Bittu meets Mini(Inayat Varma). Their chemistry was heartwarming and a delight to watch. His scene where he meets his daughter makes you emotional. He is outstanding in the scene where he meets his daughter after a long time. Also, the way he gets into his brilliant angry mode and plays the role of a tough guy who has a soft heart with a lot of brooding intensity. Abhishek Bachchan is truly a gem for Indian cinema ... He has so much potential and he never copies his father (he is so much different) so he shouldn't be compared with his father just because he looks like his father and people are jealous of his handsome personality (and luck as well).

Not bad
22 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Brilliant screenplay and picturisation by Shankar Marthand and Madhu Shalini is impresses as Sunitha. That's about it because of unrealistic locations, north Indian rich man Vishwa (Tony Luke) is talking in very hard south Indian accent with a very bad pronunciation. He doesn't even act like the character (a rich man). His posture and expressions appeared like a beggar. Sneha Ullal and all others are just a shop of over acting. Sanjay Agnihotri Novelist

Brilliant show

Abhishek has given brilliant performance same as Guru. Only drawback is Amit Sadh because of his expressionless (stone face). He is not even an actor. I saw him in other web series and always wondered why someone select him? Sanjay Agnihotri Novelist

Jimmy Shergill is Brilliant as always. Engaging story and a genuinely proper acting by most of the actors, except Mahabir Bhullar(Satbeer Mudaki). He is over acting all the way. His dialogue delivery is horrible. I was unable to understand a single word of his Panjabi. Sanjay Agnihotri Novelist

Old out dated style
23 March 2020
As for as Shashant Shah's direction is concern scene by scene it is OK but unnecessary songs and music interrupt the story and very annoying in other words story/script and the screenplay are not well crafted. Setup of story and back and forth timeline is quite annoying in a courtroom drama. Every actor/actress did a good job in portraying their roles except -
  • Tridha Choudhury is becoming a kissing girl because every director finds/creates some scene for her to be kissed by a couple or more actors.
  • It is unimaginable that a CBI (or any police officer) can smoke while sitting in front of a public prosecutor in his/her chamber/office.
  • It is unimaginable that the defense attorney will make a fun of public prosecutor and give a taunting lecture to her after finishing the case
  • It is doubtful that a professional killer will come out from his vehicle showing off his gun in hand.

Not Bad it's OK
6 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Not bad but whoever did the casting is completely out of a sense of logical reality. Aditi (Payel Sarkar) like Saugata's (Rajat Kapoor) looks like a daughter. From any angle, she does not fit in the role of his classmate and wife. Also, an ordinary spectator can not believe that she will fall in love with an ugly psychologist (sorry Subrat Dutta) not to mention she does not look like his classmate as well.
