      Audience Member After terrific, crazy & excellent Shaitan & Rush(MTV Series), I was expecting more from Bejoy Nambiar but sadly he disappoints in David which is just impressive in parts & nothing else. Instead of making 3 intertwined stories with pathetic editing, under developed characters & bleak connection between them; Nambiar could have just focused on Neil Nitin Mukesh's story & convert into one hell of cool retro gangster mafia war. It was only one relevant story of all the three. Though cinematography & music were great. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Truck Loads of Background Music & Stylized Direction to the movie makes it more than worth a watch! This is my first movie of 2013. I had planned to stay away from those big releases like Race 2 after watching the trailers itself.Anyway, David is really high on style and personally, I loved that aspect of the movie. The background music gave a good flow to the movie. Out of those three stories, Neil's story was far more on the action and drama side. It was pretty intriguing too!Even though I watched the Hindi version, I'd heard a lot about Vikram. His acting was really good and his story line was more on the comical side. He acted really well as a drunk fisherman. Though, I feel his story angle was a little weak. May be it could've been written better. Over all, the story was decent but the performances and direction were brilliant.I loved the music too! Damadam mast kalandar was mixed nicely. Background music was awesome.All of them looked pretty apt for their characters and fitted very well in their shoes. A special mention would be Neil's dad(Iqbal Ghani) in the movie. What intensity in his acting! The guitar guy's acting was also decent. Personally, I didn't like the fact that the guitarist David turned into a father(church) in the end. I thought that was a little dumb.The movie might not be perfect and yes, it does have some flaws but the director is high on talent and gets creative stuff on the screen.This is a very different kind of a cinema, far far away from those 'typical' movies. Bejoy Nambiar has experimented really well. The story had a few weak holes but the best part of the movie was it's direction and performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member ................................ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review areeb m magnificent morality tale Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The connection of the three stories could have been better. Also, the editing portion, specially in the second half should have looked upon. But Nambiar's direction is superb which makes this movie worth a watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Vikram's story was pretty pakau.. Rest was tolerable comparatively!!!

      Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express David coasts on a few startlingly sharp scenes and zippy musical interludes, but doesn't add up to the sum of its zanier parts. Rated: 2/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Simon Abrams Village Voice It's thrilling to watch Nambiar futz around with tone and style for the sake of establishing a thematic progression. Feb 5, 2013 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Complicated [and] entertainingly erratic ... Rated: 3/5 Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Anna M.M. Vetticad annavetticadgoes2themovies David is based on potentially explosive material that proves to be a damp squib. Rated: 2.75 Jan 14, 2023 Full Review Subha J Rao The Hindu This one flows by languidly, chronicling inner journeys. Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV David has enough sinew to offset its share of flaws. Strongly recommended. Rated: 3/5 Dec 8, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
