Ittefaq

A good thriller and suspense idea of a story. A good murder mystery. Atmosphere of the movie is a bit heavy. Not too much shine and glamour in the movie but for regular viewers of such movies it will be an entertaining experience. Story built up could have been better. The idea of the story is good but the conversion of that good idea into a good story is not that good. Again, the script could have been better. Almost everyone has performed good. So, if you like the actors you will have a good and entertaining time pass. Don't expect too much. That's the key.

Who says Bollywood movies are all about song-and-dance & cliched romance? This film doesn't have a single song, doesn't have a romantic track, doesn't have any unnecessary comedy scenes; just a pure gripping suspense thriller around 100 minutes of runtime, which manages you to hook till the end with an unusual ending. This film is entirely different from the so-called Bollywood masala movies.

I really cannot understand why this movie didn't do well on the box office. It may not be the best Bollywood has produced, but it is far superior to a lot of movies that hit the jackpot at the box office. The movie starts with 2 murders, and as a viewer, you stay as confused as Dev aka Akshay Khanna's character, crediting the storyteller or in this case the director/writer. Sonakshi Sinha and Malhotra are decent, while Akshay Khanna is a treat to watch on screen, as always!
