Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Every time the pulsating ‘dhan-ta-naa’ comes on, and it does frequently, you flash back to the grungy delights of ‘Kaminey’, waiting for the feeble, contrived proceedings in front of you to pass. Rated: 1.5/5 Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Namrata Joshi Screen International The promise of a wild ride eventually ends up as a disappointingly tame affair, failing to deliver a punch and lacking a vital sense of fun. Jan 13, 2023 Full Review Ishita Sengupta OTTplay Aasmaan Bhardwaj frames his debut film as a visually unremarkable noir comedy with no semblance of worldbuilding or intent. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media It's entertaining despite all the cliches of hardboiled dialogue, extreme gratuitous violence, and the inevitable scenes of every single character having a weapon and pointing them at each other. Rated: 3/5 Apr 5, 2023 Full Review Deepanjana Pal Film Companion Aasmaan Bhardwaj’s debut film features some of Hindi cinema’s most talented people, but it lacks originality, Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Poulomi Das The Federal Every frame, every moment of Kuttey is designed to impress, sometimes at the risk of making it overstuffed or indulgent. The film possesses the kind of style that sacrifices substance. Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Pranay K Anything starring Tabu might not work, but Tabu always does! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Dilpreet S I do not understand why they wasted time on silly cut scenes in the end, it was such a disappointing ending Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Sarthak B I am really really confused on how to approach this review. On one hand, I am just mesmerized by this film's visuals and it's unique approach to the cinematography and it's non-linear storytelling (both of which are heavy influenced from Tarantino Cinema) with the last shot in particular taken straight from Scorsese's The Departed and the music being one of the best aspects of it but, on the other hand, I am also quite divided on the overall simple story this film follows and some hit and miss humour which it offers. first off, the acting. It's ranges from really really good to just fine. we have seasoned veterans like Tabu (whom I absolutely adore in this film as she gives off vibes similar to those in Andhadhun but amped up to 11), Kumud Mishra, Naseeruddin Shah and Konkana Sen Sharma whereas we also have relative newcomers like Arjun Kapoor, Radhika Madan and Shardul Bhardwaj. the seasoned veterans are just off the charts in their performances here. there is not a single loose thread in here with Tabu being the show stealer. I don't know why but hearing Tabu just abusing the shit out of everyone around her gives me tingles. Kumud Mishra has never disappointed me in his roles and he does a perfectly good job here too. Naseeruddin and Konkana although having brief appearances don't fail to make an impact which was nice. Arjun Kapoor though. He was fine. I have only admired two of his performances (2 States and Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar) and while this character doesn't really reach those heights, he wasn't bad that ruined the experience for me. Radhika Madan and Shardul Bhardwaj are also just fine in their roles. None of the actors are doing a bad job because even a single weak link could've been fatal for the film. the story is something I've seen before but not in a Bollywood film. the hindi film industry in particular has been afraid to take on non-linear storytelling because of the plot inconsistencies that come with it but, I think they really did something great here, even if it is fairly simple. you can pretty much predict where the story will go when you see those dutch angles (really sharp use of dutch angles btw) but what really intrigues you is, how the hell did those characters get here and where will they go next? this is exactly the type of thing tarantino uses to generate tension among the audience and keep them on the edge of their seats but I get that he's an auteur and has perfected his use of this whereas the director of this film Aasmaan Bhardwaj is still learning the ropes. Although, I would like to say this is a daring attempt for a directorial debut. props to Aasmaan for trying this genre because I can really see him rising to be the new director of bollywood who creates a niche cult following for his films. count me in. the music and background score is absolutely bonkers. reminded me of subtle use of music in films like Gangs of Wasseypur. I mean, what can you even expect when it is Vishal Bhardwaj, the man himself helming the score. He is one of the best composer-directors we have in bollywood and he is once again great at what he does best. although, I don't quite like the remix of Dhan Te Nan created for the film, I do admire it's use as a cue for several situations. this might also be the one film I've seen in bollywood after decades which actually manages to incorporate noir themes pretty well in the film. I mean, the character motivations, the use of dutch angles, the dark cinematography, and a really great opening sequence dipped in red silhouette is what gives me hope for noir in bollywood cinema. the director Aasman sure has talent just like his father and I'm excited to see what he does next. I have to say one last thing though. this film is not for everyone. it is quite polarizing. either you like it that you will want to watch this once every few years or you will hate it and will probably never watch it again. even if this isn't a perfect film by any means, it is surely catering to the indian fans of auteurs like tarantino and scorsese and who want the quality of those films in some way be replicated here. I liked it. I will perhaps like it even more on second watch but I can definitely say one thing that, this might just garner a cult following in the future. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Amit S This movie has set the benchmark on how to ruin a good cast. Being the most senseless, bad dialogues, no logic movie. In fact this movie will make you create a new rating system for worst movies , this being the top of it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review Kedar A I was waiting for a high point in the film which never came. The film tries to be complex but has a small plot. T.oo Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/23 Full Review Biswajit N Not worty to watch even a single schene of it Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
