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.

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!

This movie is a murder mystery. Full action packed movie. Absolutely interesting right from the starting till end it keeps you engaged. You know who is the murderer and who got murdered and even after getting a lead to prove the murderer,all efforts goes in vain. Aditya Roy Kapur has given his best in and that also he maintained to give his double role characters absolutely different flavour. Mrunal as an police officer steals everyone's heart. Ronit Roy too manages to entertain the audience with his extraordinary acting skills and dialouge delivery. Overall the team of Gumraah succeeds in entertaining you all throughly. Its streaming on Netflix and highly recommended..do give it a try.

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.

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 🙂
