Ruined towards the end

This movie started out very good. The story is very watchable and there was alot of political tensions that were well represented in the movie (even though Hindu-Muslim drama seemed a bit exaggerated). Nawazuddin Siddiqui did a great job and the heroine beside him did good as well (some overacting was there). However towards the end of the movie (after 75%) the movie completely falls off a cliff. It feels like the writer did not know how to resolve the conflicts that were presented and started doing typical Bollywood drama that was too much and makes no sense. This really ruined the feel for the movie and affected the rating I gave as Im sure it did for many others.

Good social commentary & bad direction

The story is quite good as it reflects the current state of society which believes on an "afwaah" just like that. It shows how innocent people are brainwashed just for political bigotry. But the story is not well-knit. Some of the scenes are shot and arranged so haphazard that the audience may feel what the f just happened. There are glaring loopholes in the story which are not addressed by the creators. The cast does a good job. However, I think that the casting choices could have been better. Specially, the role of Sumeet Vyas could have been done by somebody else since he is so sweet that he does not fit the role of a villain. Still, I would say that this is a one time watch, mainly because of Sudhir Mishra.

Didn't motivate me enough to watch beyond 15 minutes

I won't talk about genere, propoganda, story-line or anything else. Having said that, I believe in gripping content irrespective of the fact what it aims to deliver. Usually in 10-15 minutes, I take a call whether I want to proceed or not. Sadly, this one falls in the later category. I highly respect Sudhir Mishra for his understanding about the cinema and also for his work. But I expected a lot better from him. You all will agree with me that while watching a movie or series(if not good), there comes a moment when your inner voice says-" maza nahi aa raha". I had this same feeling. Going to find anything better to watch.
