Hollywood style Jackie acting like Harrison Ford

It's a total Hollywood style thriller. Good work from all the actors. Paresh Rawal and Jackie stole the show. Their one on one conversation scenes are great. Bollywood was having all melodrama movies that time. This was way ahead of its time. Watch it.

A good thriller.

This movie has everything viewers want.... 1. A brilliant story 2. Good performance by everyone especially Jackie, Paresh Rawal... 3. Good songs and 4. A brilliant climax.

The only reason the film did not do well in the box office is that it got caught up with the censor board who wanted a few scenes cut off it.

Otherwise the movie is really worth viewing.

Didn't Expect That from Bollywood

I really don't like the reception this movie has gotten so far. This is a very well made movie and deserves a lot better rating.

Like I said, Ketan Mehta has always impressed me with his exclusive style of film making. Sort of similar to M Night Shyamalan in US. You never know what to expect.

The movie is fast paced, the director wasted no time in useless song sequences, unlike other Hindi movies where it seems like director just turned on the camera and went to doz off. The casting is superb! Jakie Shroff is excellent.

Well worth a watch. I seriously recommend this!!

Woww wat a surprise

This movie shocked me. Both by its plot twist and quality. I felt it would be a cheap thriller with more songs and less story butnit wasnt. This had a smart plot, a gorgeous grey shade Jackie shroff , very hot Deepa sahi who remains fully dressed to look simple girl most of the time but when she was in qestern dresses she was awesome.

Story is inspired from Endless night and sucker punch i guess but it was exaclty like a james hadley chase novel in terms of execution. Paresh rawal was also veru good.

Overall for all thrill.seekrs, it is a must watch. I love the 99s thrillera , but sadly there are very few of them.

Thriller fans would love to indulge in this Cracker of a movie!

Aar Ya Paar is not what you expect from a regular Bollywood movie. The plot was way ahead of its time. The movie is pacy with very minimum dull moments. Actually a remake as an OTT would be great option during these times.. Ketan Mehta has made this really well and direction is fast. Jackie was excellent in his role and performed the role to the T. A complete no nonsense role by him and has elevated the movie by his presence. Paresh Rawal is also fantastic in his role. Others do a decent job in their limited roles. Kamal Sidhu was bad and very loud in her role. Somebody else would have done a better job. All in all must watch Bollywood thriller. An ode to James Hadley Chase.
