Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Gaurav Vats Movie start with a good note and promised a lot but story take totally U turned in second half and its a big disaster in the end. I am not sure why they turned that theme of terrorism to one police officer wrong doings. And its been shown that Jihadi are doing this because they have been provoked by society(what is this bullsh*t). I am not denying however that sometimes innocent get caught by police but it happens with everyone not with Muslims alone. Everyone knows that Jihadi had been brainwashed to spread the Islam and to kill Kafir, It doesn't have any link to the injustice. Look at the example of Bangalore Techie guy who was earning handsome money in Yahoo but was a recruiter, and what about the people from everywhere going and fighting for ISIL. If director stick to the subject it can really become master piece but turned out to be a complete disappointment. However all te actors did justice to their performance except Maulana.
AishFan Pooja Bhatt has done a great job this time. All the performances are top-notch from Anupam Kher to Ashutosh Rana to Sara. Muzammil gives a fantastic debut. The Bhatt camp cannot deliver a movie without good songs, and Dhokha is no exception. Some portions may be hard to believe such as Muzammil's quick escape from Al-Qaeda and the Indian government's leniency with his brother-in-law, but this film is about possibilities for improving the country, not so much documenting on the grim reality. It is very interesting how Muzammil goes to the root of the problem to find a solution. In the end, he conveys a very important message that needs to be told. The government itself is giving birth to terrorists through, for example, the corrupt interrogation system (cough::Guantanamo Bay::cough). If the government practices its roles and duties more ethically, the world will be a safer place.
Avinash Patalay If Daddy does a critically acclaimed "Zakhm", will daughter lag behind? Yes, "Dhokha" seems very much inspired by the former and tried to dish out a product which is a mix of suspense, marriage, communal (dis)harmony, pseudo-secularism and suicide bomber.Muzammil Ibrahim is not too bad especially the script demands varied emotions. Can act, though woody at times... but hey – not too bad for a newcomer.Tulip Joshi – one expression. The scene carrying a machine gun in her hand reminds you of a 1980's movie.Aushima Sawhney – The story could have done away with her character. Does every product from Bhatt camp has to do with extra-marital relationships? Ashutosh Rana , Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover – reliable as usual.Songs by M M Kreem are good.Finally about Pooja Bhatt, I think she is good as a production controller for she seems to put more effort on bean-keeping thereby killing the creative force required to don the director's hat. Her fallout with the lead actor – is it a mere publicity stunt? The story-line is very much predictable. While "Dil Se" had delved deeper into the psyche of suicide bomber, "Dhokha" deals the issue at a superficial level.However it seems the project did initiate with an honest attempt to give an insights into the cause and effects.
uwerethe1 I have just recently watched this movie unexpectedly. Never heard about the trailers nor the main actors in it, however the acting done here is far more superior then some known actors! OK so the movie might not be your oh-my-god-its-the-best-movie-ever type, but it has some deep meaning. The direction was great, the storyline was even better! The movie basically deals with the whole Muslims being hated upon in India and how some decide to join the evil side. I know it sounds a bit iffy and makes one not to watch this type of movie, but believe you me...you should. Or at least give it a chance! It's the type of movie that keeps you involved in the story, and makes you interested right till the end. The beginning song is great, the rest are not so bad. I'm giving it a 9 / 10, because not every movie's perfect.
