Ankur Arora Murder Case

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.

Today Watched "Ankur arora Murder Case" –

After doing several erotic Thriller n Murder Mysteries Vikram Bhatt's Team now jump into the realistic zone with ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE, which tackles the issue of medical negligence. The team really done an impressive research before the film that in First half of the movie being a medical professional I just can't rule out where I actually am- In cinema hall or in I.C.U or O.T seeing my Colleagues doing their routine difficult jobs. Based on a true incident, ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE focuses not just on the negligence in the operation theatre, but also throws light on the justice mechanism in our country.

In a short Dr. Ramesh (Arjun Mathur) was a junior under Dr. Asthana (Kay Kay Menon) of Shekhawat General Hospital. He loves n had a live-in relationship with Dr. Riya (Vishakha Singh), his co-intern. An 8-year-old boy Ankur (Vishesh Tiwari) dies due to Dr. Asthana's medical negligence n at a point of time Ramesh realizes that a good surgeon is not necessarily a good human being as well. Together with Ankur's mother Nandini (Tisca Chopra], Ramesh declared an uneven Battle for what is right. A battle for justice against his mentor, the hospital and the love of his life.

Regarding performances everyone was Up to the mark. Kay Kay Menon is one of my all-time favorite n once again he gave an International level performance. But the surprise package in second half was Paoli Dam. She is Sharpen in every movie. Hats off to the power pack acting of her in the court. The Dialogues are extremely good n sometimes make you to give claps unintentionally in the hall. Scriptwriting also tightens your sit belt as the movie progress. But one point I must say that it good to see this type of movie in future song less.

On a whole A BRILLIANT Movie and it deserves a watch by every person of the Urban Society.

NOTE: - Being in Medical field I know good surgeon is not necessarily a good human. During my work I also had come in contact with such persons n gained lots of experience. But please don't ask for examples 

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.

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

Rating: 3.9/5 stars Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)

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.
