The film did have potential, the script had not one but numerous opportunities to encash the positives, but it couldn't, or should I rather say it did not want to. The anecdote in itself was not half bad, as can be noticed in the last act, where the film seeks redemption but alas! It was already too late. It would have easily been a decent, serviceable movie, but what made it poorer was its inferior screenplay and an even weaker direction. As well as the lousy, over-the-top performances. I never would have imagined that I will have to see a talented man like R. Madhavan delivering one of if not the worst acts to date. Quite similar remarks apply to both Aparshakti Khurana and Darshan Kumar as well. I refrain from criticizing Khushali though because it is her debut role and I strongly believe in giving chances, thus, we will have to wait and see her in at least one more work to come to any sort of judgment (in respect of her capacity as an actor). But the names that I mentioned before are in the industry for years, thus their performances should be criticized accordingly.

No need to Hype for this one, it's so easy to guess what's climex, and if you can't please watch Tom & Jerry as movie is for adults. Poor script and screen play makes annoying to finish it to climex. Every scenes has only one sob story. Each cries but as you know terrorist is innocent from beginning. Why would get poor criminal than many danger look once. Shows poor casting. Ali Zafar would have been good option than this. Again khushali looks freaking hot and good acting makes convincing. She had tough roll to show mental and loving wife which she justifies. Madhvan tried but he fails miserably. Please compare him with vedha you won't see madhvan afterwords. He drops quality of acting on ott platform which can be carrier killer.

Dhokha Round D Corner review : Going in with nil expectations, Dhokha turned out to be a decent surprise for me specially at ticket price of just seventy five bucks on National Cinema Day (September 23rd). The crowd was majorly college youngsters who were hooting loudly whenever the heroine's pallu dropped... and that happens quite often through the movie!! Reminded me of the front benchers in the bygone single screen era.. A supposed suspense thriller; Dhokha is more a launch pad for Khushalii Kumar who not only looks ravishing in a saree but also makes a super confident acting debut in Bollywood. She plays a delusional housewife who is taken hostage by a terrorist (Aparshakti Khurana) in her own home even as her marketing executive hubby (Madhavan) and the investigating cop (Darshan Kumaar) are right outside discussing the rescue strategy over a cigarette. Suffering from personality disorder, the curvaceous lady seduces the terrorist and makes him fall in love with her. All this while, we are told hubby dear is no plain Jack and is carrying on affair with his wife's psychiatrist. Oops!! The basic theme seems inspired from Rajesh Khanna's Ittefaq (1969) which had a runaway mental patient seeking refuge in a lonely lady's home. Having said that, director Kookie Gulati shows improvement over his past endeavors Prince (2010) and The Big Bull (2021). He successfully manages to keep the suspense alive right till the end. In fact, the climax is a high point of the movie making you overlook some of the pace drops in the middle. Technically, the film looks rich even with a tight budget and a single location of a typical Mumbai apartment. Of the cast, Aparshakti Khurana acts competently and gets the Kashmiri accent right. Surprisingly, Madhavan appears lost here. I have never seen Maddy so disinterested. Darshan Kumaar is just about okey dokey. Finally, Dhokha belongs to debutant Khushalii Kumar and the gorgeous actor goes all out to make it her own. Exposing uninhibitedly, she literally chews up all her male cast to emerge the most memorable aspect of the film. A parting advice : Hang on till the end credits roll for the awesome remix of Zooby Zooby song from Dance Dance (1986). It's a paisa vasool number! Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

Sameer lodaya The movie is just timepass which you can really afford as it's a 100 rs week After so much of thrill watching on ott it doesn't surprises you much and becomes very easy to judge the climax The new girl in town khushali has stealth the show she looked gorgeous and have acted very well probably she was the best within all the others actors in the film aparshakti was also good After some time you feel dragged as the story was rotating in same axis and then as usual they rush in climax If you get to see in 100 rs it's worth or else wait for digital release..I hope Bollywood continues this 100 rs trend to drag people in theatres.

Movies are to be experienced. While watching the movie, it was fun. Your experience will depend on who you go with. Haq gul's character and actor were outstanding. I didn't find the movie to be predictable. The ending was unexpected and overall the ride is what matters and it was thrilling. Kudos to the makers for not showing unnecessary graphic sex scenes. Story was new. Actors did an amazing job. And overall a good watch. I think there were no songs in it too. I can only review it on the basis of how I felt while watching it. And that experience was nice. It was almost funny tbh. Haq gul's character was mind-blowing. I think him and the wife were the stars in this movie. Brilliantly done.

No thrill or suspense about the movie. From the very start it went down the slope. The whole idea around the story was quite predictable and the follow ups was also not up to the mark. If someone doesn't have any movies to watch for - they can give it a try. However would recommend not to go for it. The biggest disappointment was the role of Aparshakti Khurana - someone with a natural accent would have done a better role for Gul, as throughout the movie, it seemed like overacting and even the dialogues was mundane. The actress is without doubt the shining light in the movie. Wouldn't recommend to watch.

Film review: Dhokha round D corner #sanjuzzreviews #DhokhaRoundDCorner #rmadhwan #AparshaktiKhurana Wow .. It is really raining suspense thrillers this weekend!! Dhokha round D corner is a movie filled with a lot of twists and turns. The action starts from the word go with Aparshakti Khurana, a terrorist on the run from the police taking a housewife Khushali Kumar hostage. She is unfortunately delusional with a personality disorder. Is the terrorist actually the bad guy here or is it the lady. There are various versions of the story told from the perspective of each character, but only one of them is true. This is Aparshakti Khurana's film all the way. His character of the terrorist has many shades to it and hats off to him for getting everything bang on. R Madhavan as the lady's husband is okay but he is reduced to playing second fiddle to Aparshakti. His role could've been played by any other actor. Darshan Kumar as the police officer and Khushali Kumar have performed decently. This is a fast paced movie with a lot happening in a very short duration. Add to that the story moves back and forth in time with a lot of flashbacks shown to define the back story of each character. However as it is a short film with a runtime of 2hrs 2 mins it also ends up leaving some questions unanswered. Some scope of improvement for the makers. All in all a decent one-time watch !! A notch lower than "Chup: Revenge of the Artist" . Worth a dekho nevertheless, either in theatres or on Netflix when it streams eventually. 3/5 from me .. Adios 🙂!!

Good actors and bad script. Don't waste your time watching this super bad movie. I watched this movie based on the good ratings and reviews, but this a very poorly made thriller which is too long and too boring even to watch in an OTT platform. R Madhavan's acting is so bad that you from his body language that he was not interested to be a part of this movie. Apashakti Khuranna is nice but the script is awful with a dumb storyline which literally makes no sense. T-Series has a massive reach globally, they can create good content with good directors and technicians. Hopefully, we get some better content in the future.

A bit predictable, yes but throughly entertaining fun ride. Aparakshit Khurana, Maddy and the new girl all were terrific 👍. Dialogues could be better, nevertheless the premise and back stories had me hooked. Watched it for 75 bucks on a Friday afternoon on National Cinema Day and the theatre was packed. The movie i believe will grow on word of mouth. The wannabe critics from sobo/ south Delhi and trashy YouTube channels needs to calm down with their catty headlines. Because at the end of the day that's what they are, and let me not start about those clickbait thumbnails from cringe uncouth YouTubers. Stay away from all this and watch it yourself. It's no usual suspects so don't expect too much, but when did it claim to be one!

A Costly Crime Patrol Episode Where Only Aparshakti Khurana Took The Assignment Seriously & Rest Were Just Clueless Can't believe R Madhavan said yes to this farzi role after Rocketry The Nambi Effect. What's Good: Aparshakti Khurana trying to save a lost battle and the runtime that saves the audience a bit. What's Bad: The lack of responsible people on board to greenlit good scripts. There is an abundance of ignorance and whole lot of money wasted in telling a bad story. Final word subscribe ott platform sony live for 1 month and watch crime petrol on loop or other thriller.. this movie won't stay till next weekend.
