Neeyat

Not going to lie, I do like the twist in the end but.... I'm sorry everything else is horrendous! I'll be upfront, I don't know much about movies, I'm your casual movie watcher but jeez even I noticed the bad dialogues, direction and acting. I was rooting for Vidya Balan and Rahul Bose :( but everything felt off. It had no soul. For lack of a better word, it felt "hacky". Shashank Arora has been incredible in made in heaven but his performance as a spoilt drug addict is poor and surface level. Shefali Shah is the only good thing about this movie. And she's in it for like 5 minutes. That goes to show how bad others have been throughout the movie.

Review: Neeyat, directed by Anu Menon, is a Hindi film streaming on Amazon Prime Vedeo, an inspiration from Agatha Christie mysteries and Rian Johnson's Knives Out movie.

Elements of this movie is Mystery suspense & drama.

Anu Menon tried to make this film for mass appeal, with Vidya Balan in the lead role, supported by talented actors Ram Kapoor, Neeraj Kabi, Rahul Bose, Shefali Shah in a cameo role , Shasank Arora, Nikki Walia & Prajakta Koli a popular YouTuber. Despite all capable actors, reinvention of the mystery in a gathering genre, is not so impactful. It should have been delivered with more brilliance.

Niyat is not a well-crafted movie. Vidya Balan fails to make her impact, rather Rahul Bose steals the shows. Resembling Ram Kapoor as a Vijay Mallya is good.

Location is something awesome with beautiful Camera work.

On the whole, despite too many loopholes this Film engaged you throughout. Theme song is well composed with good lyrics.

My rating is 2.5 out of 5.

Plot has many loopholes. Acting is also bad. Can't believe Rahul Bose acted so badly in the movie.

Ram Kapoor was not a fit for the role. Too many secondary characters with pathetic acting skills. Only that made in heaven guy had a decent acting ability. Others were just bad. I can't re-iterate it enough DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE.

Just a copied movie from multiple Hollywood movies. If you really want to watch murder mystery movies, you can try knives out. But, don't watch this movie. I guess even Raat akeli hai(though a bad movie, but it's still better than this)

I gave it a try for the sake of Vidya balan, but no. I mean her acting was decent but role was pathetic. I guess I should have watched Kahaani movie again.

When you have a script ready of legends like Agatha christie all u need is a genuine approach to the plot,but seeking the inspiration the director try to play over smart with a new idea of shadowing the detective characters with cheap flash back and keeping multiple twist and turns towards the climax which spoils the plot... Seashore Castle,thunder storm,potential cast and crews sidelined by brilliant camera and some Crispy editing too are wasted efforts die to the oversmart approach of the director... And even after post credit the plot hints a sequel possibilty of another cat and mouse game which is not necessary either... Overall a onetime passable flick.

The production values of this film NEEYAT were extremely poor and so was the quality of the acting of the entire star cast includingVidya Balan and especially Rahul Bose. It was like watching a primary school play on a giant sized screen.

Ram Kapoor was an absolute misfit as his personality was absolutely zero and his acting was 1000 times worse than that. Vidya Balan was a faint shadow of her normal brilliant self. Rahul Bose's character was extremely weak and thus his acting was way. Over the top. Everything about this movie was substandard. Definitely not worth watching in the cinema!

4/10.
