Gumraah

The movie begins on a high note, but is soon dragging along. Compulsory, bad songs add to the yawn. It gets interesting in the second half when the two parallel stories come together.

Without any spoilers, police investigations have been made a mockery of. No background check of suspects, no establishing of motive, no serious attempt to connect the dots between suspects, etc.

Aditya is same in every frame. Fail to understand why there is a compulsion for modern day actors to wear a two-day beard. There is no experimenting with looks these days. Mrunal looks so uncomfortable playing a tough cop. There is not one brilliant shot of hers. This has to be her one of the worst performances. A good opportunity wasted. The lead pair looks mismatched.

If you have yo watch it, do it for the last half hour when things start yo make sense.

Overall, an ok one-time watch.

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 🙂

It is an awesome suspense thriller movie. You can't leave your seat until the movie ends. You will be surprised from time to time. There are lots of twists and turns in this film. Aditya Roy Kapur just nailed it. In both roles, he is awesome and mind-blowing. Mrunal Thakur's performance is superb. She has done a great job. Ronit Roy is perfect in his role. All the other actors have done very good work. If you love suspense, mystery, thriller, action, and also some comedy and a little bit of romance too, then don't miss "Gumraah."Everyone's acting is very nice, I think everyone should watch the movie at least once.

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.

Concept of the script was good and with supported search supporting their cause and I liked that Aditya Roy kapoor did very good acting and justice to his role and Ronit Roy is also a good actor, I like his acting skills and other than that all cast were bad actors and whole movie was dump, pointless and very predictable. The script was so good that if they had worked on it a little bit more they could have made a good movie like drashyam but Bollywood wale mehnat he nhi krna chahta. Itni achi script bs camera lekr jabardasti movie shoot kr di. Thodi si mehnat krni chaiye thi.. if they would have worked just 10-15% on script and direction, the movie would have been amazing and I would have rated it 9/10 but right now it deserves only 5 but one extra point for Aditya Roy Kapoor.
