Ankur Arora Murder Case

Its sad to say that such cases happen and its a shame for the medical profession. No doubt people make mistakes but running away from them is not a way as seen with "Ankur's" case, rather when one accepts his/her mistakes then only he/she is called a human being. Talking about the movie I would like to mention about the well written script by Vikram Bhatt that was justified by Sohail Tatari's direction. Doctor's are meant to save lives and not to be murderers whatever the reason might be. The male lead that is Arjun Mathur impressed me while other actors were also good and the Sunidhi Chauhan song was touchy. I'm sure that everyone of you would feel this movie somewhere near your heart if you have one specially those who have lost their near or dear ones. Apart from this make sure that you consult a good human doctor and not just a good doctor and be safe from those hospitals that are meant for business purposes only. So, be a good professional no matter wherever you are. Highly Recommended... Ratings 3.5 out of 5 :)

This was a very good and sensible movie with a brilliant acting performance from Kay Kay Menon who in my opinion is one of the best actors in the Hindi film industry,but for some strange reason has not received the due recognition he so richly deserves. The supporting cast were all competent. Everything else about the movie was very good.

This came out of nowhere and almost vanished without a trace. But those who caught it, would realize how lucky they were not to miss this unheralded gem of movie. Based on a true story, its a gripping and hard- hitting dram that takes control of your senses from the word go and refuse to let up till the very end. If the medical procedure build up the anticipation and adequately pays fine attention to detail and authenticity, then the engrossing courtroom machinations in the second half are sure to invigorate your pulses and keep you hooked in anticipation of what shall transpire.

The entire cast does a fabulous job, with special mention needing to be bestowed on Tisca Chopra and Paoli Dam. But predictably, its Kay Kay Menon who elevates this already riveting drama to stupendous heights, with his callous, smug, obnoxious, and and delectably mean act. Ultimately, you leave the film with a resonating message, that no amount of success and achievement gives one the right to do and escape with whatever they feel fit.

Ankur Arora Murder Case, produced by Vikram Bhatt and directed by Suheil Tatari is a celluloid dramatization of a real incident on medical negligence which led to the death of the patient. Dr Astana(Kay Kay Menon) is a very reputed surgeon and Romesh (Arjun Mathur) is a medical intern working under him in the same hospital. Romesh idolizes Astana until one day, a patient, Ankur Arora dies on the operation table due to the sheer negligence of Astana who is unwilling to take responsibility of the same. Conscience hits Romesh and he sets out on a turbulent journey for justice , against his mentor and the hospital.

Emotional drama has been the forte of Vikram Bhatt and he returns to this zone after a hiatus , with a gripping subject which has not been experimented by most in the bollywood fraternity. The initial reels lack the requisite intensity and the plot is marred by a floundering screenplay, but the narrative only gains momentum when the action switches to the courtroom. Tatari makes his characters believable, by infusing the elements of human flaw in each of the individuals, succeeds in absorbing the viewer's attention by creating a tense atmosphere catalyzed by some well-written dialogues.

The film is effectively salvaged by some commendable performances. Arjun Mathur delivers a convincing act with the portrayal of a whistle-blower at crossroads of fight against the system.Tisca Chopra is simply brilliant as Ankur's hapless mom, depicts the emotional rupture with phenomenal capacity.Kay Key menon is outstanding with his grey shades.The arrogance, the indifference that he portrays on the screen and his climactic outburst is unquestionably attention-grabbing!Paoli Dam and Manish Chaudhry are efficient. Vishaka Singh is adequate, but she could have been better in the sequences where she has to choose one between her ambition and conscientious boyfriend.

On the whole, this is a touchy and sensitive film, and handled thoughtfully. A heartfelt effort for sure. Rating : 3/5

This movie shouldn't be called a thriller at the first place - it's pure drama. The plot is good and unique, but a fair chunk of it was quite predictable. Except KK Menon everyone has acted very lethargically and unenthusiastically throughout the movie.
