Gaslight

Here's a thriller that never grips or thrills. From the first frame to the last this movies is mired in boredom and half away through you just want this to end and whatever little twists that come in the end hardly surprise you.

The story is about this princess played by Sara who is coming home to meet her father after ages and is welcomed by her step mom (Chitrangada) and the manager (Massey). But the father is no where to seen and her quest to figure out where he is begins. There is this distant annoying cousin, a police SP with some jump scare scenes to get your attention but unfortunately neither of the characters and scenes engage with you. And as mentioned above by the time the mystery is solved you hardly bother and just want this stupidity to end. The story and screenplay have no depth and direction is super weak.

Performances wise Massey does well along with Chitrangada who looks stunning in some scenes and emotes well. Sara as the main protagonist is completely bland and has nothing much to offer in this not so well written character.

So overall an avoidable fare ! Thank good they have not chosen the theatre route for this one or perhaps they knew.

After watching this movie people will say sara " tum hume pareshan karne lagi ho 😂". Nothing new in the movie .movie is predictable. Massey also act same in all the movies. Chitrangada is good.rest everything is mediocre.skip it no need to watch.even saif asked sara to take acting class after watching the movie....set is good why Rahul dev is there don't know. Skip the movie no need to watch ....like ayushman and Rajkumar Rao , vikrant Massey is also doing propoganda driven movies now a days His acting is same almost In all his shows and movies.

He needs to add some variations in his acting..

If you're one of the few people who still haven't seen this amazing movie then do yourself a favor and go watch this immediately...you will not be disappointed!.Dont you ever watch this movie as it is so perfect u will never be able to watch another .this becomes one of the greatest of all time and my favourite .. Just such an amazing movie. Amazing writing. Numerous menacing and thrilling antagonists, and an ever-interesting relationship. When you finish the movie you'll never be the same..I guarantee you. I wanna delete my brain and watch it again like I never knew it. I am so glad to watch this movie.

Sara Ali khan can't act. She just mugs up the dialogues and takes around 100 takes to deliver. So obvious in all her scenes.

No wonder she is best friends with jhanvi kapoor. Both are meant for commercial movies in which they play second fiddle.

Vikrant massey is as usual brilliant.

Akshay Oberoi daper as always. I wish he gets some strong roles.

Same old boring script shot in absolute darkness to give horror or thriller vibes. From starting of the movie you will sense the climax.

Yet another flop where actress fails to lead.

Writing this review is another pain because I have to complete the minimum characters.

Pass!!

Gaslight is a partially engaging, middling horror mystery which doesn't really get you excited or amused. The world building of a horror premise, the errieness of the atmosphere, dark colour grading , intriguing characters all had the potential to make this one a remarkable bollywood horror mystery but unfortunately due to tacky lead performance by Sara and dull second half screenplay makes the brilliant climax lose steam. Chitrangada and Vikrant Massey are formidable in their layered characters. Overall, a satisfactory mystery thriller which can is passable if you can ignore Sara's underwhelming act.
