Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint ...the rest just feels random, with flat lighting, dull visuals, lazy editing and zero pacing. Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion Sidharth struggles to find flesh on his poorly written character. Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Namrata Joshi The Hindu The writing has no sense of proportion or balance. Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion Take out all the slow-motion saunters, needless flashbacks, timeline jumps and token female representation...and Aiyaary isn't a second longer than 23 minutes. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com It's a bloated, prolonged mess of misplaced purpose that digresses from military misdeeds to animal cruelty. Rated: 1/5 Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV Aiyaary wants to be a daring thriller that calls out smarmy politicians and arms dealers. But it only fires blanks. Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A spy-drama, espionage and thriller movie , with great narrative and story . But the director could'nt succesfully complete the narrative.The performances are great of every charecter but the movie could have been made fast pacing as it was beginning, rthe run time bugs out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member don't let the acting talents of the film fool you. this is an absolute patience tester for even the fans of thriller genre. very poorly directed movie, with an even worse plot. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor concept and Storyline. With director as Neeraj Pandey and such a strong starcast, I expected much more than this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It really tested the patience. so much build-up for almost nothing. story doesnt follow a logical path. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Does this a movie that deserves a 5? No, a 3 or 4 maybe, but here the situation demanded it (such undeserving low ratings). Is this movie as bad, boring or convoluted as people here and in other places are making out to be - the clear answer is NO. Taking into consideration the genre of this movie, not many such movie have been made in Hindi film industry. To make such a movie in Indian context and to make it palatable, this film does more than enough to keep its audience entertained. Certain Indian audiences who are just starting to get a taste of such espionage flicks will certainly find it appealing (mind you this audience number is huge). I hope in coming years Neeraj pandey and filmakers like him will take such genre and this kind of stories forward, making it more realistic and thoroughly entertaining. But if so much of bashing is done about the movie and if it completly sinks in the box office, why would any one dare to make films on such topics? (Loosely based on Aadarsh Scam). I believe people who have access to international content as well as watch Indian content should take the reality of Indian Cinema and movie going public's mentality into consideration. Such considerations will only make a review more comprehensive for an Indian audience to make a decision to watch a movie or not. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review mirza m 'Aiyaary' is a disappointing espionage thriller from Neeraj Pandey, which despite good performances and a good concept is led down by its half-baked subplots, shoddy writing and sluggish pace. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
