Apurva

The whole premise of the kidnapping was weak. Secondly, 3 comedians don't make great villainous characters. Rajpal Yadav with his diminutive stature and personality wasn't convincing as a bad guy. As for the rest of the gang, at any point they didn't seem threatening enough to overpower the victim. Dialogues were pedestrian at best. If you have seen NH10 you wouldn't be overly impressed with this version. Tara was no Anushka, you required a bit more mature personality to pull off this role. Some scenes were obviously manufactured just for thrills. There is a whole wilderness for the bad guys to search for their escaped victim, but inspite of not having any clue, they always seemed to be in the vicinity of the victim. They surely must have some kind of extra sensory perception. The frantic fiance always seemed to be a day late in his rescue attempt so was basically useless to the plot. The good thing about the movie is that the director knew the limitation of the script and the actors and didn't prolong it unnecessarily.

Apurva is a senseless film that hardly merits a review. It follows the clichéd formula of a predictable masala movie, with absurd plot elements. The protagonist, Tara Sutaria, effortlessly dispatching kidnappers one by one, reappearing mysteriously to lure and kill them, defies all logic. Another character's kidnapping serves only as a device for the protagonist to use a cellphone. Except for Rajpal Yadav's acting, the performances were mediocre. This movie is best avoided; I grew bored within 15 minutes, resorting to fast-forwarding to reach the end! Those who consider this as a good thriller should watch any of the 'Crime Patrol' episodes on Sony, a much better option to kill time.

This was indeed a surprise package. I was expecting a shoddily done half baked crime thriller movie which sort of has been the 'speciality' of Disney HotStar in recent times. But luckily this wasn't the case with Apurva. First of all, the cinematography of the movie is top notch. It has been shot on real locations and the scenes are brilliantly shot. Even the BGM is good, it's not overdone.

But the main reason why this was such a good watch was because of the three menacing characters played by Abhishek Banerjee, Sumit Gulati and of course Rajpal Yadav as 'Jugnoo'. They ooze terror throughout the movie. It was great to see Rajpal Yadav doing a dark and negative role and he aced it. He's such a versatile actor. Also the movie keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout but the story and the plot is similar to NH10 starring Anushka Sharma.

Some of the negative aspects are continuity issues in some place, the actors not speaking in the chambal accent and few stretched scenes here and there.

Overall a good watch. Highly recommended.

The trailer looked really nice. So, I decided to watch this movie. After completing this movie, I am numb. Meaning, I am neither happy, nor angry. The movie story went straightforward. We already knew what was going to happen to the main character as it was already shown in the trailer. I just wanted to see the way the character would do that. The writing was really bad. However, it will keep you engaged for most parts. The ending was incomplete. The writer didn't told us about the aftermath of the incident after the lead character returns. Like, they didn't revealed anything about the goons, no actions were taken against the people who hired them, or they couldn't take the actions, in the story of the movie, none of that was mentioned. So, this is an incomplete movie and I felt numb after watching that. However, I'm a fan of Rajpal Yadav and he did really well. One of the guy in the movie with the glasses and beard, the final villain also did great performance. So, that it, 6 out of 10.

A thriller movie in which heroine is hero , faces different types of hard situations, but wisely or accidentally , is out of that danger . What Would be next & what will happen to her , would she be able to save herself & her prestige, are the questions in mind of viewer of the movie . Fortunately she wins & a happy ending . Situation , location , surroundings , night scenes of chambal valley , a well , police behaviour make that all real . The heroine , all the Villains have acted well according to their role & situation . Overall a good movie & i couldn't take break in between , till , it ended . Best wishes to the director & actors .
