    this blows

    How could this get ten out of ten? It's a typical Bollywood movie, and not even a good one. I've seen a lot of these flicks for my work (i'm a journalist), and this is the worst Bollywood production ever. I mean, to name one thing, all the coincidences (fot instance, the last minute abduction!). Look, this movie's release date has been postponed and postponed and postponed, that must ring a bell, doesn't it? The acting's horrible, the music is bad and when it's supposed to be funny, it ain't funny. No, this is not a good movie. I like Bollywood, and i know some good movies (for example Rog and Jism and Xcuse Me), that's why i'm so shocked to find this movie getting such good point. Shame on those 10-voters, who should know better. I give this movie the lowest grade.

    Risk & Care Together

    Reviewed As Morals: As from the original title of the movie "Aaghaah", unnecessary bargaining and compromises in life are fatal and put us in trouble. So be careful.

    Much Ahead of Its Time ! 2 October is a Pacy Story with Sharp Direction and Strong Writing

    For a movie made in the early 2000s and released in 2003, 2 October is truly a craft piece that was far ahead of its time. I remember the kind of lovey-dovey over excessive films that were made in that era - most of them lacked strong writing, originality, or creative depth.

    I happened to watch 2 October years after its release, and it absolutely deserves recognition. The story is tight, and each character is thoughtfully developed. No one feels unnecessary on screen - every role serves a clear purpose. The actor performances are strong, the direction is sharp, and the dialogues are well-written.

    What really stood out for me was the hold this story has from start to end, based on its writing and direction, it keeps you hooked. Even the background score - it's top-notch. Honestly, even many well-produced films of today don't carry such immersive direction and impactful background scoring. The music and songs, especially the iconic Super hit "Chand Taaron Mein Nazar Aaye Chehra Tera" (sung by Udit Narayan and Sadhana Sargam), still sound beautiful and fresh even today.

    Thankfully, audiences today are starting to value genuine content and creative storytelling over face value - and this film is packed with original content value . 2 October seems to be a film made with heart, and it deserves to be rediscovered and celebrated guys !
