Zid

There are certain films that need to be released despite being a bad product, just to get rid of them by their makers as they themselves clearly know about the mess but can do nothing about it quite helplessly. ZID is another of those ill-fated projects which though had a fairly interesting plot of becoming an engaging thriller but turns out to be so amateurishly presented and enacted film that one really feels annoyed thinking about the fact that it was supposedly the launch vehicle of another good looking girl from the Chopra family with an inspired foreign angle too.

Loosely adapted from a German film, UNTER NACHBARN/THE GOOD NEIGHBOUR (2011) and re-scripted again with typical Bollywood kind of insertions, it's a perfect case wherein a fine plot gets ruined by the re-writers focusing more on erotica than the mystery element.

ZID is the debut film of Mannara (earlier known with a different name), who is another cousin of Priyanka Chopra post Parineeti making her own reputed place in the industry. And it is said that the movie was approved by Priyanka only to go ahead. God knows what she saw in the project/script to recommend!

Reportedly director Vivek Agnihotri prepared Mannara for her strange/difficult kind of role, completed more than half of the film and then walked away due to some undisclosed differences, which rightly explains its directionless proceedings post intermission like a lost wandering child.

The film has more than 5-6 songs and a quite deliberate and at your face kind of skin show, probably added later to make it commercially viable catering a particular section of viewers in the smaller centers. However, surprisingly the songs are not that bad in comparison to many other big films but fail to make an impact along with an average cinematography and background score due to all mediocre & uninteresting sequences on the screen generating no interest whatsoever.

In short, if you wish to learn how acting can be interpreted as screaming, emoting weirdly, showing cleavages, kissing wildly and more, then you should ideally see ZID, which is an excellent example of how even a suspense murder mystery can turn out to be so boring and irritating watch at times. Having a pretty confused script, strangely adapted from a foreign film with fine ratings, it simply tests the patience of the viewers and is strongly not recommended, particularly to the fans of this exciting genre. You would not be able to bear it for more than two hours.

This is new era of movie generation in India. Excellent movie. Great ending. No one could have predicted the ending. Don't wanna disclose more. But if you enjoy Fight Club, Memento, The Prestige, Shawshank Redemption, The others, Sixth Sense and others, then you must watch this movie with full of twists and turns....Keeps you guessing....there are dull moments which are there in most bollywood movies....I loved this movie till the end...it kept my mind swirling around with my own guesses...but what an ending.....genius.....This movie is not for everyone but who loves suspense and darker side of the story, would love it.......

It's a great movie and thrilled towards the end. ..its like fresh air in the stale films like hollyday. ...naam bada Darsham chhota. ..anubhaw sinha has worked nice and a wachable thriller. ..manaara kapoor was gud ...just some more gud songs may leads it to top grosser of bollywood box office. ..and some more romance a bit more strong dialogue and the plot of accident is not well crafted it should be a tale in the twist rather but over all nice movie a must watch ...In the era of khans it was gud to see fresh new faces I would like to give 8 out of 10 stars overall but if u watch a movie for music masala and songs it's not that kind but a gud thriller it prooves at the end..

The movie takes the grip to one's mind and diverts viewer's to think of different opinion and views,although it makes enough effort to become an erotic thriller,one still makes guess that something somewhere is incomplete,but still its going very smooth with great performances.The movie completely turns into a suspense after interval and one starts guessing about the possible outcomes but the outcome is way too obvious.The movie till the end becomes obvious enough to make one leave their seat and stop watching anymore of it. Surprisingly,the movie climax is way too surprising and shocking which I think no viewer could even think and feel about while watching the whole movie.

Story is about a crime reporter who is in love with his ex-girlfriend but there is another girl who is very obsessive for him. Basically, a cocktail of sex, suspense, and thriller. According to me, Storyline of the movie is very good, I mean, awesome climax (could be more elaborated but bus good anyway). Acting was very dull and we can even notice the weak direction. It could be made even better if the star cast would have chosen from good theaters. All over Zid is made to launch Mannara who can not do acting at all (as per this movie). Sensual scenes were good. Director knew the people's psychology about intimacy. There were some geographical errors and continuity was missing. My Ratings are as follows Acting and star cast: 2 SStory is about a crime reporter who is in love with his ex- girlfriend but there is another girl who is very obsessive for him.
