Vodka Diaries

One has to really watch the film to believe what they have seen. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Full of suspense and thrill! One does not even remotely expect the film to turn out the way it does. It kept me intrigued and made me curious about what will happen next. The film is full of rollercoaster rides. Transitions for every scene are unexpected. Beginning with the story, it's mind-blowing! It's woven in such a complex manner that one cannot spot loopholes after watching the film carefully. There is an answer for every question raised. The film has a complete circle in terms of the story, where all the open knots are then tied. The direction seems quite mature. It is the best part of the movie. It is well orchestrated. The cinematography is also out of the world! The shots are breathtaking. Hands down performances of Kay Kay Menon and all the other actors. Each one fits in their character effortlessly. The background music adds to the thrill. The end leaves us stunned. The end song gives us a sweet contrast . Coming out of the theatre, the film continues to stay with us. A must watch! Second viewing will definitely give more interesting points.

The ending was well thought, well done. Such an intriguing film throughout with excellent use of relationships and interaction. Cinematography is of it's own kind. This film is a gift to the eyes for the thrill it gives you . NO masala like the typical bollywood (stupid comedy, dancers , weird action in Tiger zinda hai, judwaa2) And i'm proud that such films are finally being made and there are intelligent filmmakers in the industry

I am very happy that Indian cinema is finally coming up with it's masterpieces. Vodka Diaires will keep you intriguing with it's fine pace and excellent acting. This film is based primarily in Manali, and the filmmaker makes excellent use of the location. It is very much like an international film and the direction complements the screenplay. The film is like none other, watch it for a wonderful experience to your eyes.

Vodka Diaries has amazing direction. It's a totally different movie from the ones that are upcoming. The idea is very unique. You are going to like it if you want something that is exciting, thrilling and fresh in Indian cinema. The treatment is very different from other films. One must watch it at least once. Kay Kay's performance is mind-blowing! Good cinematography.

Debutante director Kushal Shrivastava brings to us a murder mystery thriller film starring Kay Kay Menon in the lead.

Film is set in Manali, where few murders happen in a Hotel called Vodka Diaries. ACP Ashwini Dixit starts his searching for the murderer. Meanwhile, lot's of complexities happen in his life or you can say in his mind. The answer of Who is the murderer becomes really tricky and complex due to lot's of twists and turns.

The snowy mountains have been shown superbly. Kudos to the cinematographer for using the beautiful place as a haunted one. Similarly, the background score gives you a feeling like these incidents are happening in front of you. My favorite piece of music was when Ashwini enters in happening market in night.

Sharib Hashmi plays the role of sub-inspector. He is good. Mandira as ACP's wife is average. May be another actress can be able to pull the role better. Raima suits in her role perfectly.

Kay Kay Menon is the reason I went for. He is absolutely fantastic as usual. I am sure you will connect to him from the very first frame. He has done a fabulous job. Also, I liked the setup of the conversations between husband and wife with the usage of poems and ghazals.

This film is watchable for the performance by Kay Kay and the complexity created by director Kushal. He, as a debutante, is superb. Though, I find the plot similar to a Bollywood movie (I will not write the name, else you will get the theme of this film if you have seen that) starring Rajiv Khandelwal. That is the reason why I am reducing the rating. But, having said that, the situations created in this one are far different and more fast-paced. You can surely feel the thrill during the runtime.

On the whole, this film is definitely worth a watch. But, I guess, it won't make money, because the 2 big Ps are coming next week. Anyway, if you have time, go for it.
