Faiz D One of the best Indian films ever made. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Audience Member A revenge thriller centred on a woman and her journey from big-eyed girl in the city to hardened avenger, 'Ek Hasina Thi' is at least a decade ahead of its time for a Bollywood film. The editing is unnecessarily rushed, but almost everything else is excellent. Saif and Urmila are stars here. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic film by Sriram Raghavan with excellent performances from Saif Ali Khan & Urmila Matondkar Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Possibly the most underlooked neo noir thriller ever. Sriram Raghvan's direction is uber cool with some slick and stylish editing. An ode to '50s style revenge drama of Hollywood Raghavan extracts career best performances by Urmila Matondkar and Saif Ali Khan in his first negative role looks damn brilliant. And that climax is possibly the best revenge ever taken. Don't miss this. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A good hardboiled thrilling ride. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best Indian films ever made. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
