From the reviews that I had seen, the movie was apparently good but not great. So my expectations weren't that high for the film and I was just looking forward to a fun film. But it turned out to be even better than what I thought!

Irrfan as Dev is a weird but smart guy who lives in his own world and has quite a boring life with fixed routines and peculiar habits. When he catches his wife Reena (Kirti Kulhari) with her boyfriend Ranjit (Arunoday), he decides to blackmail them, not knowing what it was going to lead to.

The movie tries to take the story to its full potential while striving to keep it from getting too complicated, which it succeeds in.

The story-telling is good and the movie employs a lot of symbolism to convey some aspects of the story.The dark humour is done well and the movie has some outstanding moments, most of them including Irrfan who easily steals the show. This guy seems to do full justice to every role that he picks up and this is no exception. There is no 'hero' in this movie, but you would be rooting for Dev for sure. The entire supporting cast does its job well including Anand played by Pradhuman Singh who in fact is also the writer for dialogues in the movie.

The film could have been shortened a bit while removing the song as well- my only two major complains with the film.

Abhinay Deo, the director of Delhi Belly has given us a great film which is definitely worth watching and enjoying.

A rare, good dark comedy from Bollywood that should not be missed.

Ant-Man, another one from the Marvel comics but this isn't the great super hero movie with stunning visuals and flawless storyline. Instead it has clichés and you can find faults with it if you look for it.

Nonetheless, I still enjoyed this movie immensely as I did not go in with high expectations but just to be entertained. And I was.

This is a movie that is suitable for people of all age groups, but especially the kids. They would love it. The main characters, though not great are pretty good. The visuals are neat, the story line OK. The support characters add in the humor and there are some pretty good light moments in the film. Though some of it is clichéd and you know what to expect, it is enjoyable nonetheless.

This is a pretty good movie to go in with your whole family and have a good time together.

From the trailer, this movie looked more or less a copy of Hollywood superhero movies. Yet the expectation was high, coming after Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. (No one knows where Krrish 2 went!)

But firstly, credit where credit is due. The action and the stunts and the special effects are top class. Specially if you compare it with the other Bollywood movies in the similar category like the rubbish Ra.One, it is a million times better. It is the same quality as X-men and Superman movies. Yet, the problem is that it just seems a copy of such movies. The focus on the mutants aspect was short but almost the same as X-men and the last fight scenes of Krrish and Kaal seem to be just a recreation of 'Man of Steel'. The only difference was that this being a Bollywood, Hindi movie, this had more aspects of emotional drama, songs and typical dialogs.

There wasn't enough element of surprise. You knew what was coming and with a weak story, even the connect with the audience wasn't that great. In the first half, I felt like I was watching Shaktimaan in one scene. The music and songs aren't good at all and totally unnecessary. Even Hrithik's dance wasn't anything to rave about. Krrish was shown to be doing just a bit too many things at a time. The acting is OK, Hrithik and Kangana have done well but the story just seemed very weak.

Having said all that, kids would love this movie and people who don't watch Hollywood movies can watch this for the action and special effects. I can also see this movie earning through merchandise and other things. Great or not, this movie is definitely going to earn a lot but it could have definitely been better in some aspects.
