Gumraah

I just watched it on Netflix. When I started watching the movie, I had no hopes for this movie as I have heard negative reviews when the movie was released. I was expecting Gumhrah between Mrunal and Adi and their love story. I liked the concept and the storyline. This movie definitely has it flaws in screenplay execution and the camera work. There is way too many patches and the continuity was not there to keep you gripped. The characters are not perfect fit for the roles except did like Ms Pinto. One time watch if you're really bored and can't find anything else to watch. I enjoy mystery genre.

Film Review : Gumraah streaming on Netflix

A bit late here, but this review is primarily for those who are looking for decent weekend watch and have not watched this film as yet!! So here goes...

A gruesome murder is perpetrated on a rainy night and the perpetrator is caught by the police!! Story over .. right.. no....u cudnt have been more wrong since this is just the start of the film .There is a twist in the tale here when it is found that the primary suspect has an uncanny look-alike? Who is the murderer? One of them ? Both ? Yaa koi aur third person ? This is what the film is all about!!

Aditya Roy Kapoor in a double role has given a decent performance.. Hamming sometimes but not bad. Ronit Roy shines bright in his small role. Mrunal Thakur starts off well but her role loses sheen & it feels as if she was sidelined midway .. an ok ok performance from a talented actress!!

Plot is fast paced with the murder happening in the first few minutes itself thereby creating the right ambience for a grt whodunnit. However the flashbacks and songs which take u into the love life of Aditya Roy Kapoor are painfully long and slow down the narrative big time.

The climax is decent and shows some real life cases on which this film has been based on.

Cudve been better!! But not bad either!!

Going with 3/5 for this .. adios 🙂

Just watched the movie, loved the story and acting. It was very nice original twist of movie of crime murder whodunit mystery related. Acting by everyone very nice and authentic I found especially Aditya roy kapoor, ronit roy and Mrunal was also very good acting wise. There seems to resurgence of good crime thrillers these days this is pary of them. If you liked recent thriller movies like Ittefaq and Badla then this movie too would be in similar lines very engaging. I would give 8 of 10 stars to this.

Great location also and quite tight script it was till the end engaging. Only thing superflous was too many song sequence not needed. Overall great weekend worth worth the money.

Outstanding acting from Aditya Roy and original storyline. Had me guessing all along and I was engaged for the entirety of the movie. No boring bits. Well balanced movie. Great thriller. It's been a while since we have had a movie like this. No unnecessary additions to the story line to make the movie long and each main character played extremely well. Loved the ending and I don't think any actor can beat the amazing work Aditya has done. He is truly a versatile actor. His acting is so natural and his dialogue delivery in on point and facial expressions natural and unforced. I think he is underrated!

Not your typical suspense where main thing is hidden till the end. Things kept getting more and more interesting.

Performance of the actors was great. Story was unique. And the way it unfolded was interesting.

There were multiple facets to every plot point, and they didn't stretch anything. So felt like a crisp movie with good execution of storyline.

First half can feel a bit slow, but still wasn't completely wasteful. It's necessary to build up characters and explain why someone would do what they did.

So overall it was a good experience while watching the film. Refreshing, and doesn't give you time to think. You can keep guessing but I don't think anyone could've pinpointed what happened.
