One time watch for sure , Movie becomes boring after first halt, Sunil Grovers character feels weak , Mouni Roy was just there for eye candy , could have done much better with this story , Vikrant Messy delivered promising performance. They lost the fun theme in middle of movie and after that it was some flat boring predictable storyline. Unnecessary characters and unnecessary songs and emotional drama. Feels like certainly not touching and convincing enough. Good end though. Some good punches in the first half , good laughter at initial many points but ran flat after that. Overall a one time watch movie.

Blackout (2024) plunges viewers into a single, blackout-stricken night in Pune, India. Crime reporter Lenny D'Souza (Vikrant Massey) finds himself at the center of the chaos after a car accident leads him to a van full of dead men and cash. The ensuing events involve a motley crew of characters, including a hilarious alcoholic (Sunil Grover), dimwitted thieves (Karan Sonaware & Saurabh Ghadge), and a damsel-in-distress (Mouni Roy).

Vikrant Massey shines as the harried Lenny, perfectly capturing his desperation and growing paranoia. Sunil Grover steals the show with his delightfully unhinged portrayal of Bewdya, offering genuine laugh-out-loud moments. The blackout creates a tense atmosphere, and the initial car crash sparks curiosity about the hidden secrets within the van.

The film tries to juggle too many characters and subplots, leading to a messy narrative that loses focus. The introduction of new characters in the second half feels forced, and some plot twists are predictable. Blackout attempts to be a dark comedy, but the humor lands inconsistently. The attempts at emotional drama also feel out of place. The camerawork and editing are serviceable but don't particularly stand out.

Blackout has its moments, thanks to the strong performances of Massey and Grover. However, the uneven screenplay and tonal inconsistencies prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a fast-paced, light-hearted comedy, this might not be the best choice. But if you're curious about a film that takes a wild ride through a blackout night, it might be worth a watch with lowered expectations.

So yesterday night I went for this 'Blackout' movie which turned out to be a surprise element in Dark Comedy genre in recent time. At first let me tell you that, it was quite enjoyable for young mass with some situational comedies of a night, but somewhere lacking to became a memorable movie. So I will consider it as One time Watch kind of category or you can avoid it as well.

The Acting performance of Vikrant Massey was brilliant, he just nailed his role. Other Tik-Tok Characters also played their parts brilliantly. Mouni Roy's acting was nothing here ; you can skip it. She just added as a glamour in this movie for 15-20min. The show stealer performance was given by Sunil Grover Sir. The way he was introduced and the way he was finished the role was quite brilliant to discuss. Those Golden Gun fight sequence from the Car and his facial expression while car chasing was definitely worth appreciation.

The background scores were quite brilliant. Screenplay was tight and gripping. Editing was top notch to just 2hrs. So overall in technical POV, Movie is nice to watch for one time. From my side it will be 6 out of 10 Stars for it. You can go with family as well.

Honestly, this movie felt lackluster. The acting seemed exaggerated, and the storyline was all over the place. It revolves around a guy's unfortunate night, attempting humor but falling short. With Vikrant Massey and Sunil Grover leading, the dynamic didn't quite hit the mark for my taste in comedy. Mouni Roy's inclusion felt unnecessary, as did most of the side characters. The plot lacked direction and excitement, despite its attempts at mystery drama. The only captivating aspect was the revealing inside the box, which unfortunately was predictable. Overall, it left me questioning its purpose.

Movie is a all rounder It has a slow starting Movie has a different side till 1st half and movie switches itself in second half.

Comedy is very well written and performed.

Performances were top notch.

Mouni Roy's role seems not of use Sunil Grover steals the show.

Vikrant Massey has done fabulous job.

In the starting, We can't guess what's going to happen.

In last 30 40 minutes, there are so many twists and turns that you will be amazed.

Jaw-dropping ending.

Well written & well performed comedy thriller. Not like typical cringe movie which Bollywood is into nowadays.

Suspence is maintained till the end.

A good watch with friends and family.

Overdose Of Poor & Over the top acting. The Benchmark was set by Kareena Kapoor in Main prem Ki Deewani Hoon, but Vikrant Massey & Mouni Roy really came close for BLACKOUT. The concept was brilliant but the execution felt flat & it was predictable to the core. One night adventures are becoming the flavor of OTT's post the success of Lootcase but Lootcase was genuinely funny & Kunal Khemu has an exceptional comic timing which unfortunately Vikrant Massey lacks completely, so no love lost & being a non nepo kid, I wish Vikrant massey continues to shine in intense & emotional roles. Not at all typecasting him but he genuinely doesn't have a comical presence. Rest of the cast was average at its best barring Mr Joshi Sengupta who shines in a short cameo & one word to Mr Sunil Grover, how much lower you will stoop down in choosing your roles, we all have witnessed your absolute vulgar & cheap acts on the Netflix Kapil sharma show, you were considered the best part of the show for your portrayal of gutthi, Rinku Devi or Dr Gulati & we were so thrilled at your comeback but what we witnessed was absolute carnage.

So not deviating from the topic, here are some honorable mentions if you want to enjoy Bollywood's one night adventure movies - Ek chalis Ki Last Local, Barah Aana, Sankat City, Mithya, Stoneman Murders, Trapped, Johnny Gaddar, Ugly.

"Blackout" is a delightful comedy that captures the chaos, hilarity, and unexpected heartwarming moments of a single night gone wild. Directed with a keen sense of timing and a knack for witty dialogue, this film takes you on a rollercoaster ride of mishaps and misadventures that will have you laughing from start to finish.

The film's pacing is impeccable, ensuring there's never a dull moment as we move from one comedic scenario to the next.

Amid the laughter, there are touching scenes that explore themes of friendship, love, and self-discovery. The cast delivers standout performances, each actor embodying their role with charisma and energy. Their chemistry is palpable, making their interactions feel authentic and engaging.

The soundtrack, too, is perfectly curated, adding another layer of fun and excitement to the proceedings.

In conclusion, "Blackout" is a must-watch for anyone in need of a good laugh and a reminder of the unpredictability of life. It's a comedy that doesn't just entertain but also leaves you with a warm feeling. "Blackout" is sure to be a super hit.

This movie is about Lenny D'Souza, a sting operation journalist who leaves his home to buy eggs during an electricity blackout and gets a jackpot, but that night turns his life upside down.

If the screenplay was better, the storyline could make a more engaging movie with good twists and turns. The guys who pull Lenny's legs to their advantage don't add any serious conflict to the movie to create a thrill. When Bewdya was revealed to be Asgar, the don who went undercover, it captured my attention. But his arc was underwhelming as a drunkard gets sober conveniently and becomes an action hero.

The characters Thik and Thak initially start as threats to Lenny but turn out to be his allies as the movie progresses, which is not well written. Lenny's wife's true intention is a poor decision as it is the biggest twist in the movie. It is an inappropriate twist to be placed in a movie that deals with multiple plots like a gang war, rivals from Lenny's profession, etc. My initial thought on the private investigator (before he revealed himself) was that he was a rival reporter who envied Lenny's growth. It would have been better if they portrayed him in that way. I was fed up with the climax because it leads to a sequel (which makes me hate this movie even more) and it is conveniently written.

The actors did a decent job as they didn't have any scope to express their talent. The casting was good, but Mouni Roy felt unnecessary as her character comes for a wasted twist. She is a gimmick to pull the audience. I understand that she is a beautiful woman and a great dancer, but when it comes to acting, she looks amateur to me. The music and cinematography are decent.

Overall, it is an underwhelming movie. If you have time to waste, you can definitely watch this movie.

Only reason to watch this movie is Sunil Grover. Other cast just irritate you.

1. story: 5/10. First half = 3/10, 2nd half = 5/10.

2. Direction: 4/10 extremely bad. I mean you are making a thriller comedy movie.. have some decency and don't frame the movie in action genre.

But, Two shot were awesome.. one of them was Sunil Grover introduction. It was like... you're watching a 90's movie.

3. music and bgm = okay okay 4/10

Rest are just fine. There is nothing more to talk about this movie. It's just a normal boring movie.. That's why I rated it 4/10.

Conclusion: if you want to watch it then go... personally, I won't recomended you to go.

This movie stands in between Silver screen and B grade movie. Prefer whatever you need.

It's the same gener of "Monica, O my Darling" . I mean who watches this gener.. like how overly dramatic you can be for a two liner story.

And even you try it.. you put the story instead of acting and craft... which already is less in your account.

That's why this gener is utter nonsense.

Excellent dark comedy with solid one liners, powerhouse perfomance by vikrant messy, sunil grover and the two guy thik thak. First to end I can't stop laughing to watching this. It should release in theatre surely it will be hit. I don't know some idiot film critic unnessary criticising it.

Now come to story part in pune city some high profile thieves completely blackout the whole city to robbed a hifi jewllery shop, in meantime some people one crime reporter, two sicial media influencer, one drunker and other two people clash with each people. If you want know more about this you have checkout jio cinema to experience it. Fantastic direction, edge of the seat screenplay really enjoy it.

Blackout 2024 Looking for a laugh-out-loud comedy that will also leave you with a warm feeling? Look no further than "Blackout". This charming film takes viewers on a wild night filled with hilarious mishaps, heartwarming moments, and unexpected self-discovery.

The movie's director keeps things moving perfectly, ensuring you're constantly entertained as you transition from one funny scene to the next. But it's not just about the laughs. "Blackout" also explores themes of friendship, love, and finding yourself, adding depth to the humor.

The cast is fantastic, bringing their characters to life with charisma and energy. Their interactions feel real and engaging, making you feel invested in their journey. The soundtrack is another highlight, perfectly complementing the fun and excitement of the story.

Overall, "Blackout" is a must-watch for anyone looking for a good laugh and a reminder that life can be unpredictable.

Total gem of a piece, combination of thrill, suspense, action, comedy and a lil bit of romance.

What a surprise element thrown by Sunil Grover. He single handedly kept the movie on his shoulder and stole the show. He is what we call an artist.

It is trendsetter.

This is what we call a good plot set up by Devang Bhavsar.

Fabulous performance by Vikrant Massey & Mouni Roy.

I have noticed Jisshu sengupta in lantarani, since then I were waiting his next blockbuster performance.

Thank you @officialjiocinema for Blackout.

These kind of creation needs to be promoted globally. They should reach to every cinemy lover.

Blackout is a comedy thriller film directed by devang bhavsar.

The film started on a good note. Seeing vikrant massey in an animated character was not on my cards in big 2024, but he acted really well. That is the good thing about great actors, they can pull off diverse roles. The film gets a boost once sunil grover enters, and good lord he gobbles up with his screen presence. He outshadowed massey in various sequences. The black comedy, dispersed throughout guides the film. The lines given to karan sonawane and saurabh gadge are hilarious. They always come up with some crackers in between conversations. Mouni roy really needs to work on her acting. Ruhani sharma, anant joshi, jisshu sengupta and other fringe characters were decent.

The second half literally wanders around to hundred directions. Anything and everything was happening in the second half. Twists after twists were coming but only one or two worked. How will the rest work without some good breathing space between scenes. After a point, the scenes looked reverse engineered. It didn't happen because of logic, but because of convenience. The screenplay, was losing steam because of this and suffers.

The background score is great, I would say. The suspense and adrenaline is pumped up by the score. Some old songs are used with some wacky humour. I like that the film knows what it's doing and breaks the clatter sometimes. Because, in some scenes the chaos was overpowering the storytelling. The humour felt off to me in various scenes. The dialogues were not up to the mark. The scenes where massey imagines diamonds and jewels falling from the sky is brilliant. The editing style of the film is also pretty good.

I wish the second half didn't throw so many curveballs in my direction. I would have loved it more.

Overall, Blackout is engaging, uproarious, and a chaotic misadventure. It's silly and full of madness, even though the first half is mostly spent introducing characters. But the movie is aware of this, as there's also dialogue. The emotional drama and a fight sequence followed by that slows down the narrative for some time. The performances and jokes only make the adventure more enjoyable. Vikrant Massey's movie ends on a cliffhanger, so let's hope there's more to this frenzy. Blackout does push the limits in how shamelessly foolish it strives to be. That's seldom enough, though, at a time where screwball comedies count on the viewer's perception of reality. Blackout could have been sharp and entertaining had it constantly called itself out. But it remains surprisingly hollow and, at times, dull despite the visual restlessness. The chuckles-to-runtime ratio is poor.

Blackout review: The crime caper starts on a promising note but it all goes downhill in the second half of the film. Sadly, nothing works in the film's favour. Blackout review: The film is a half-baked attempt that fails to make a mark.7 days ago. Blackout spans a single night when the streets of Pune are engulfed in darkness due to a blackout in the city. A crime reporter, Lenny D'Souza (Vikrant Massey), is out on the road when his car rams into a van full of cash, gold and dead men. Lenny has a series of bizzare encounters with a homeless alcoholic, Bewdya (Sunil Grover), two thieves Thik and Thak (Karan Sonaware, Saurabh Ghadge) who are big on Instagram followers but low on IQ and a damsel-in-distress Shruti Mehra (Mouni Roy). How Lenny navigates this eventful night would've been engaging, if only the story made any sense.

The movie is an absolute masterpiece, a testament to the art of filmmaking at its finest. From the very beginning, it captivates the audience with its brilliant performances, mesmerizing storyline, and impeccable production quality.

The casting of the movie is nothing short of extraordinary. Each actor brings their character to life with a depth and authenticity that is truly impressive. The leads, in particular, deliver performances that are powerful and nuanced, drawing the audience into their world and making their journeys feel real and relatable.

From the brilliant performances to the captivating storyline, from the stunning production quality to the masterful direction, every aspect of the film is executed to perfection.

A good time paas movie. Nice one.but

Sanju Sachdev a year ago Not at all recommended. Worst staff experienced at blackout. They are just perfect to spoil your festive evening well. Thats the reason it was not that full as 4 years back. I was also supprised. You Go out for service and feel however After spending 10 k you are not going to get at blackout. From desk to waiters to bouncers have super attitude that customer is nothing for them. They think if you are going to blackout its customer privilege but they are absolutely wrong as if you cant value customer people like me are not gonna visit.

From entrance to order to service it was totally challenging there but main thing for which m giving them 1 star because 2 male bouncers misbehaved with me just I was calling my friends after getting out from washroom as they didn't pick so I was just wanna chk them on deck from outside area of disc. They started behaving rudely after explaining them. And not only 1 2nd came started humra time ho gya yhn jana allowed nh h. When I didn't go to disc when it was open why would I go when it's closed just to watch my friends who were up n I was on down floor they created the whole scene and managers everyone was supporting them. Worst ever experience I had anywhere.

I must say if you want your value never ever visit places like this where so rude cheap attitudic staff.

Vibrations won't allow you to sit on rooftop. Not soundproof at all. If you can bear that you can visit.

****If you are willing to tolerate rude staff behavior you can visit blackout.****
