Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Jail is grim, gritty and stark, and, despite a saggy middle, very watchable. Rated: 3/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Balls me and my dad watched this movie and he (a former wife beater) can confirm this movie is so unrealistic that the director might aswell beat his wife and see what its really like ps hes not former :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Realistic acting by Neil Nitin Mukesh......And the film showed the real life in Jail....... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Very realistic acting by Neil Nithin Mukesh. He was amazing in New York, so I had high expectations from this one, which he absolutely lived up to. The young actor has a promising career in front of him. Mugdha Godse, who I had never heard of before, delivered a horrendous performance. Such dry acting that I couldn't feel her character's presence at all. The mother was even worse. Also, wish there were more than 2 good songs (pick the old Lata Mangeshkar and whatever song that is is 100% doomed for failure). Director Madhur Bhandarkar delivered a spectacular representation of a life in jail, presenting everything with realism and detail. However, why couldn't Mukesh just say "get me a lie detector and you'll know i'm innocent?" right from the beginning? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A very intense movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Day : Sunday Date: 8 Nov 2009 Time: 8.15pm With: Zehra Mami, Zehra Mamis Mom, Queenie Maasi, Shiraz Uncle On : DVD Bhandharkar has done it again. Awesome plot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Good enough movie . director could have done some more to show the other kind of atrocities in jail .. nevertheless can see it once.
