We as a filmmakers heard a lot from some people that gujarati audience wouldn't accept this kind of concept, they're not ready for that. But it's time to prove it wrong. It's every viewer's saying that thank you and kudos for bringing such content in Gujarati Cinema. Apart from everything else this content needs to be spread across for the great attempt and This movie really deserves it.

One of the most out-standing masterpiece of art. Somethings extraordinary theme, story & performances. Along with the great director and awesome work by whole team.

Raktbeej is a beautiful piece of film that has impacted a large part of the film industry. With everything from the actors to the cinematography to the music, this movie without any elaboration perfected almost everything there is.

Raktbeej slow start is the only weak point of this movie. It begins intensely to then slows down for the next 20 - 30 minutes. While then finishing off as an impeccable film. Nevertheless, this is what brings the film down for me.

The director Hardik Pareekh managed to create a masterpiece with little to no mistakes. At no point during this intensely long movie did I feel bored. Instead, I was always excited and on my toes intrigued.

The acting in this movie was phenomenal. A small number of great actors that all had their character arc while also doing incredible performances.

With a thought-provoking storyline that finishes of with an unbelievable ending.

I highly recommend Raktbeej to everyone and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Those who always complained about gujarati cinema, should watch this film Raktbeej. It's a very high level concept and brilliantly made film. It becomes a risk when it comes to shot an entire film in a single location. But Raktbeej sets a new benchmark in gujarati cinema. I have never seen such kind of concept and making in my regional language till now. First of all hat's off to the entire team of Raktbeej for making such kind of film as it needs lots of guts to execute such kind of subject. Everything from casting of the film to the performances of the actors, direction, cinematography, editing, writing is to the point. After watching the film, it leaves an impression in your mind and makes you think as it ends with a good message to the human beings. Kudos to the team and its a must watch gujarati film.

I wonder how it has 8 plus rating yes the writers shouldn't write being selfish just for attention, fame and without thinking about other people feeling.

But im wondering why they had to make this drama film 🤔🤔 Omg i wasted my two hours watching this sick story poor script while waiting that it will get interesting but it became more worse by time. Sorry but i have to say that The writer himself seems like to be the one actually sick... The writer just dragged it and so on totally mess having unreal stories this n that blah blah... Even the main message of this story hasn't been followed in this film, that if you can write it doesn't matter that you will write anything.

Just searching for new content on Amazon Prime and came along with this Gujarati Film Raktbeej. The poster grabbed my attention, & i read the synopsis of the film, which i found INTERESTING. Then i clicked on the trailer to have a glimpse of the film and as a result, it was so intriguing that took me to watch the film. When i started to watch the film, everything was confusing for almost an hour, that where this film is taking me?, but the film was intense and gripping that made me to watch the film further. I was trying to connect the dots but failed to do it, as my prediction were taking wrong turns. But as the film progresses towards the climax, i got all my answers that i was looking in to this content. What a film, I am not a gujarati guy, but the way this film took my attention, i believe this kind of film should be made for the international audience. A highly intellectual concept with gripping story line and power packed performance by all the actors. I am new to gujarati cinema, that is reason, i am not aware about the actors who worked in the film. That helped me strongly, to connect with those actors as a character of the film. I became fan of these actors and will look forward for their work now. Especially the lead actress portraying the character of a famous Indian Author Aadhya Shodhan has performed very well. From portraying a powerful, confident and famous personality to a helpless and feared girl, it was brilliantly done by the actress, she has done a tremendous job. The other actors whose performances i loved the most, are the cafe guy Rudra and the gangster Omkar. The role played by them were to the point. Even i loved the performances by the actor and the actresses that performed the role of Sarjan and sadhna. They both resembles the couple from the film Fifty Shades of Grey. The way they played their role are so perfect that i can feel the pain in their eyes. That line by Sarjan ordering Sadhna to climb on the table and dance and the reaction of sadhna wow.... I literally felt like a doll dancing on a table and she is not able to control herself. Just one word for both the artist hatsoff guys.... After that i felt like it is going to the conclusion now, but the cherry on the cake was about to be served. Here enters a new energy in the name of Urja. What a performance? A special applause to her. She is special because it was a long one shot performance by the actress. I guess it was almost about 7 to 8 minutes long one shot acting with variation of emotions. Even the actors that played the role of sam and k have performed their part very well. Each every character of the film made me believe that they are what they are. I am so much inspired by the climax of the film, that it makes me think that what are the consequences happening to a human mind. This film leaves a very strong message to a human breed. I strongly recommend this film to all the audiences who are looking for a highly intellectual and sensible content. Why Raktbeej is a worth watch? You have to go through the whole film and i am sure you won't regret. Those who want to get entertainment, this is not the film for them. But if you want to experience something new and unique with good sense, this is the film. I also want to praise the cinematography and color theme used for this film, writer who came up with this story. A special praise to the DIRECTOR who very well executed this kind of very tough subject film that too in one single location. Just one word..... Excellent!

Beautifully made movie! What a great content, acting and direction. I love the poeticism. The bit of the exposition at the end that applied the religious mythology lens to the story I think demonstrates the point of the movie very well and did a good job closing it out. It almost reminded me of Life of Pi in that way.

A must watch!

I usually don't watch regional movies but my friend suggest me to watch this... Trust me this is something different I watched... Brilliant story line and amazing performance. This movie is one of the best regional movie.

Many Questions and just one answer with only one reason... very beautiful gujarati movie. Raktbeej is a film which is only made for highly intellectual audience who can think on the layers of the story. Very well connected to the indian mythology of Maa Kaali. The story revolves around a famous indian author Aadhya Shodhan who gets trapped in a cafe with some strange people who are about to kill her. Very well written and very well directed with great performances by all the actors who keep you on the edge of the seat. I feel proud to see that gujarati cinema has evolved to this height. It is a must, must and must watch film.

Saw Raktbeej

More than a want we need to do what we need to do. The demons are one's own manifestation and one is the destroyer of one's own demons. Guilt, Greed, Gamble, Gore are part of everyones's character and that's what RAKTBEEJ deals with a layered narrative of one's own manifestation with one's own courage and closure. It has more of a widespread appeal to it than a regional one. Cheers to the entire team for the film. It's a sure sure watch film and drives you in to it's own world.

This movies is a masterpiece by Hardik Pareekh. And he made it in some way that the twists and turns are the best of the best of the best. I also appreciate the actors in this movie. I especially liked Denisha Ghumra the lead actress who portrayed the role of Aadhya Shodhan So brilliantly and Nischay Rana who performed his character as Sarjan. Best cinematography and properly executed film. Must watch film.

If you are looking for a commercial film, then Raktbeej is not for you, but you want to witness a highly intellectual film than Raktbeej is sure for you. From star to end, it is very gripping and engaging. It drives you into it's own world and makes you think. Whatever outcome i thought of the film, it comes with something new which i never witness in any cinema till now. Totally unpredictable and what performances i witnessed from the actors. Just one word for Raktbeej, A MUST WATCH FILM.

A wonderful packet of Joy created by the actors, director, cinematographer, writer and the entire team. A film is a Team work and Raktbeej is an Amazing example of Teamwork. Things that grabbed my special attention was the cinematography, the intro visualization part, Denisha Ghumra as Aadhya Shodhan, Nischay Rana's work, Direction and Screenplay.

Excellent Gujarati Film Raktbeej with a high level concept. Kudos to the team. We need such kind of cinema in gujarati. Very well performed by each and every actors. Especially Denisha Ghumra justifies the role as a famous Indian Writer Aadhya Shodhan. Nakshraaj as Rudra Raghuvanshi has a charming personality gives smile on your face. Its a treat to watch him. All the other actors are on the mark of their performances. A perfect casting for a perfect story. Very well directed in a single location. Just one word..... Hats off....

Kudos to whole team of Raktbeej. What an out of the box content first time witnessing in Gujarati Regional Cinema. We are so proud to see such kind of risky experiment happened in our Gujarati Cinema. Bang on Casting and outstanding performances by all the actors especially Denisha Ghumra as Aadhya Shodhan, Nakshraaj as Rudra, Nischay Rana as Sarjan, and long one shot performance by Kaushambi Bhatt as Urja. Just one word, keep making this kind of different concepts that will raise the standards of our Regional Cinema. A big thumbs up for the film, and congratulations to the whole team....

What a milestone movie in my own language. Now I can say that Gujarati film industry is evolving and Raktbeej is the perfect example of it. Those Gujarati Film makers are saying that we have tried something new and our film is different. I have a message for them, you should watch RAKTBEEJ. It is really a different kind of film with a very powerful message to each and every person of the society. When you start watching the film, it will make you confused and engaged as the story progresses, whatever prediction you make, you will fail to find out the conclusion for sure. It is brilliantly made and by watching the film, it clearly shows that this film is not made for the money making, but it is out of passion, a great team work to come up with such a brilliant idea and to execute it properly, really kudos to the team, especially the Director to work on such kind of subject, and the actors who performed neck to neck. Everybody should watch this film and it will make you think differently.

Raktbeej is good, very good, amazingly good. Music: phenomenal. Story: Exceptional. Acting: Great. Cinematography & Special Effects: Fantastic, Direction: Outstanding, very well executed. Overall this is a great movie, although complicated needing a second watch on my end to fully understand everything, this is a must watch for anyone.

Outstanding performances, outstanding execution and brilliant concept with a very important message to the society. Definitely a must must must watch gujarati film. People looking for entertainment, or movies without logic then stay away from this film. This film is something with a high level thinking concept. Those who will say, they didn't like the film, better you should say that, you didn't understand the film. Raktbeej is a sure worth watch. I would recommend the people to atleast go and watch this masterpiece. Those who complaints about gujarati cinema, should watch this film and see that what a unique content made in our own language. Proud to see that gujarati cinema has started making such kind of feature films. We just don't want only comedy films or family dramas.

Raktbeej is a must watch film for all the generations. It is having a very important message for all the human beings. A very well executed film with layered narratives. Very well directed, very well performed and very gripping till last frame. After watching this film, i felt like we can have a proper discussion session on this topic. Just one word, don't miss out this film. You will surely learn something very important from this film. Waiting for Raktbeej 2 .

If you want to enjoy an intriguing and interesting film which does tribute to many genres and film-making techniques, then Raktbeej is a great choice.

This is an outstanding filmmaking effort by Hardik Pareekh. Kudos to the team, it really coated the entire film in a fantastic way, keeping pace at all times.

I don't think I have seen something similar before in terms of non-linear filmmaking and although I was very confused at start, I got into it halfway through and that was very rewarding.

Now I guess many of you are still confused.

I was too. But once you figure it out, it all makes sense.

10/10, good solid film.
