Dial 100

For such slow movies thrilling moments are needed to awe the audience.

It has failed to awe us despite the good acting and cinematography.

I would say Director failed the movie.

You will feel sleepy while watching this.

Zee5 have failed to use Manoj Vajpayee this time.

'Dial 100' unfolds on a rainy night with Senior Police Officer Nikhil Sood beginning his shift in the Mumbai Police Emergency Control Room, just like any other day. Soon after, we learn that his personal life is in shambles as a result of his wife Prerna's (Sakshi Tanwar) troubled relationship with their teenage son Dhruv (Svar Kamble). While juggling with his wife's constant phone calls, Nikhil ends up taking a distress call from a hysterical woman who wants to end her life owing to a personal tragedy. When the anonymous caller gets a little too personal, Nikhil realises he has to race against the clock to keep the world from learning about a dark secret that could put his loved ones' lives in jeopardy.

Manoj Bajpayee adds depth to his character of a middle-class guy who has failed both as a husband and a father. However, as a cop, he is smart and quick to act in order to save his family. Playing a cop and dealing with high-pressure situations is nothing new for Bajpayee or the viewers; we've seen him shine in roles like this before in 'The Family Man' and 'Silence...Can you Hear It?'

Neena Gupta gives you the shivers right away as the unpredictable Seema Pallav, while also emotionally involving you with her character of a grieving mother seeking vengeance for the untimely death of her son. Gupta excels in her role, but once her motive is revealed, she maintains a poker face throughout. Sakshi Tanwar has limited screen time but she steals the show, especially in the scene where she breaks down. Overall, character development is in place, and you'll want to stick around with them the whole time.

Overall, the thrills begin once we witness Seema Pallav (Neena Gupta) in action and Nikhil Sood in a catch 22 situation, which ends quickly once the layers begin to unfold. The film's editor, Asif Ali Shaikh, cuts the running time to under two hours, lending credence to the story's of what happened on one fatal night.

All said, Rensil D'Silva delivers a revenge narrative that mainly relies on performances rather than a promising premise. So, if you are looking for some riveting performances, the trio of Manoj Bajpayee, Neena Gupta, and Sakshi Tanwar is worth your time.

This movie will hold you with manoj bajpayee and neena gupta only, and can better be done with sakshi tanwar as well. Initially it looks impressive to watch but later on it got flat and predictable. Just a one time watch.

The makers have made this movie in a simple straight and steady manner

The story is nothing new of revenge but it is executed nicely and the actors have played their roles in a required format specially neenaji and Manojji is nothing less

The movie is going in a steady motion from where the call starts and ended in a good climax..the climax is very well executed and justified it gives a shine to the entire movie

Not to miss a good movie to watch this weekend.

Just saw this movie today, I was really excited to see this cause of only Manoj sir but overall this movie is an alright thriller. It's missing certain characters development. Manoj sir did an awesome job the other cast did and alright job. The only thing that was exciting was the 15 minutes at the end, other then that, it's a basic story that you can understanding easily and easily figure out the villains and why they are doing this. The kid playing the character Dhruv, definitely needs to work more on his acting.

I have seen all Rensils' movies especially one of my fav Kurbaan, I was expecting more from this movie but that's alright.

This is definitely a one time watch, so enjoy it with your family!
