    Molecule Review: Lens (7 Stars)

    Lens is a film that practically needs a lot more polishing in terms of performances, direction, and continuity. But from a theoretical point of view, it hits the nail throughout, holding up a mirror to our society where obscene MMS clips are the talk of the town. Quite uncomfortable to watch, Lens takes you on an arresting journey with the main character who unknowingly gets entangled in a mess over his chatroom practices. As haunting as the tale is, I'm sure it is going to make you think for a few days about your own consumption of pornography whether you want to go that road or not. TN.

    Overrated but underacted

    PLEASE STOP GIVING HIGH RATINGS TO MOVIES JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE IN YOUR COUNTRY. I see it happening all the time lately and it is misleading for the people that are actually looking for a good movie to watch. I'm not saying it has a really high one, I'm just saying that I've seen thrillers with lower ratings that were so much better than this one, it would be a shame to even compare them. I found this one on Netflix and it intrigued me so I jumped into watching it without researching it too much. Big mistake. The story is ok, but the execution is straight up trash. The way it is filmed and the music are just as kitschy as anything you would see in a poor Indian TV show. The editing isn't great. The acting is so bad it makes the whole thing feel like a parody. There are some symbolic elements in it, like the eyes or the fish, that just seem out of place considering that the movie isn't subtle in any way and the other parts are so bad. Not going to go further with this. I think a 5 is a decent and deserved rating for it. Watch it only if you are in the mood for eating popcorn while scratching your bellybutton, otherwise, it will be a waste of time.

    Khan Review - proud on modiji

    Only in India such great movies are madding after modiji coming inside India. This movie teached how in today world private of peoples uploading in internet and how family falling destroyed. Very good movie about couples video uploading on internet destroyed their family life for all time. People watching video but not knowing that how unhappy this became of peoples everybody watching. It give historic messaging how today all careful chatting on internet because dont know who is the person secret talking with us. After some days black mailed and telling give money. Every Indian watch this good movie.

    Uncomfortable, but worthwhile.

    It's uncomfortable to think of everyone knowing everything about ourselves. Maybe this hit too close to home resulting in many of the poor reviews, but it's definitely a well done film. A film that matters in today's reality.

    A mirror to the societal underbelly!!

    Take a bow sir !!! Plot: 10/10 Takes up a issue related to pornographic voyeurism and presents it with a ting of thriller. Protagonist Arvind ,who is played by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan who is also director and writer for the film, gets a unknown friend request from a person who makes some interesting demands and story unfolds thereafter with captivating and precise speed. Takes full mark for implicit social commentary. Acting:5/20 Acting is average nothing special to talk about. But it feels descent not too shabby. Cinematography etc: There has not been much scope for anything else as movie is little bit precise in its focus and limited. Still whole atmosphere is not hard to look at. Audience: It shows a mirror to current societal norms and private practices regarding sexuality around internet pornography and that image is not pretty. I am sure many people will hang their faces in shame after watching this. By that standard I thing film is a success of getting the point across audience and move them emotionally and retrospect. I recommend that people should watch this film and you will not be disappointed (only if you are not looking for some light romcom movie to chill. Even then do watch this movie some other time).
