Zulfiqar

Zulfiquar is great expectations belied. Srijit's attempt to adapt two of Shakespeare's tragedies to the underworld of the Kolkata docks does not really come off.Yes, the characters are modeled on characters of the Bard's plays,....that's about all.Splitting up Mark Antony's character into two...Dev & Parambrata was a disastrous move . The tragedy is missing ...you feel no sympathy for any of the characters...the action scenes are mostly contrived and dragged out. Srijit mentioned before the release of this film that it was a tribute to The GodFather. What a poor tribute!! Compare Vishal Bharadwaj's adaptations of Shakespeare's tragedies...Maqbool, Onkara,and Haider and you can see the difference.

Thank you Director srijit Mukherjee for this one . All big stars of tollywood comes & did the movie . What a great screenplay ! Very well written movie by Srijit Mukherjee. Prosenjit , Dev , Jisshu , Parambrata , Paoli , Ankush , Kanchan & etc . It was the Highest grosser movie of 2016 . superHit of 2018 🔥

Nothing is good about this movie. A total waste of time.

This is perhaps Mukherji's most commercially ambitious endeavor as well as one of his most convoluted works as of yet! Script-wise, this is a modern retelling of two Shakespearean plays (Julius Caesar, Antony & Cleopatra) Now I have no expertise in Shakespeare's plays and how they play out in the original version or how loyal this adaptation has been, All I can tell you is that the movie itself doesn't work, even with great ambitions at heart, 'Srijit Da' failed to create a lasting impression.

The conversations are badly written, and those same sets of dialogues have been enacted in the worst way one could think of. While it had a promising cast, with almost all the A-Listers of the Bengali film fraternity, their performances, however, still turned out to be horrendous, and incongruous, so much so that the enactments come off as superficial; instead of luring us in, they just pull us out of immersion.

First of all I want to salute Srijit Mukherji for being the only person in tollywood who is making movie having different layers which would please the audience of different ages. After Baishe Srabon, I liked this movie a lot. It has everything in it starting from action, good story line, sentiment tinkling dialogues to super fabulous screenplay. Besides the acting of each and every actors are in the next level. This movie, I would say, is a perfect merge of art and commercial film. In a word I would urge everyone out there,who hungry for a mature and good movie GO OUT FOR ZULFIQAR !! I think you would be liking in fact loving every bit of it.
