Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express [Table No. 21] is an amateurish stab of a film around the broad theme of wrong-doing and revenge. The plot had potential, but the execution lets it down. Rated: 1.5/5 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Shilpa Jamkhandikar Reuters This is one of those movies you can catch on television when nothing else is playing. Otherwise, Table No. 21 is safe to avoid. Jun 7, 2017 Full Review Simon Foster sbs.com.au It is not without some well-staged dramatics and the Fijian Tourism Board would be thrilled with the coverage, but Table No 21 is just a too over-the-top in its histrionics and downright silly in its plotting to offer any lingering impact.

Waniya S Zaddy Raus can get ittt Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review yash b For most of the duration of "Table No. 21" I thought it was a solid thriller that definitely reminded me of some similar movies that have been done in Hollywood. I found myself interested enough with the premise and was on the edge of my seat for the most part. The story is kind of ridiculous in that the main characters make a decision early on that most people will see as dumb or not logical, but a lot of movies in this genre have that sort of set up, so I was able to go with it. Where the movie stands out is when the big reveal happens in the final moments. The movie actually has something pretty impactful to say that I didn't see coming. It's a solid thriller overall, but it's mostly commendable because of an attempt at raising awareness about an important issue.  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Ahmed M The film is a good movie as a whole, but lacks in its pacing and the idea of the movie wasn't used to its true potential. Paresh Rawal steals the show with his performance, this is one of his best performances in recent times. Table No.21 is a very underrated movie as it is a good movie, backed by a nice ending with a good message. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/30/16 Full Review Audience Member Most people dont understand this movie possibly because you may not understand the circumstance that this movie was based on. I personally felt the impact in this movie although it was a little bit predictable but it still did deliver in terms of how impactful it was to its audience. The basis of this movie is real and happens alot in India. As you may have read in the credits. It does shed light on a very terrible deed that is not cared much by authorities over there. All in all this movie was more educatilonal and it was also thrilling to watch. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a crossover between 'Zinda' and 'Slumdog Millionaire' but without the star cast (Sanjay, John, Lara) of the former and the director of the latter (Danny Boyle). The makers have tried to convey a social message in the shroud of a thriller but both of them fail to make any impact. Object of the movie becomes clear only towards the end. By that time you happen to loose all interest! Paresh Rawal is an acting stalwart and he dons his hat good enough. Surprisingly, though Rajeev made great impact in his debut movie (Aamir), he is just average in this one. He needs to work a lot on his timing and camera shyness. Tina on the other hand seems to have worked hard in all the departments, but still lacks the X factor. Maybe she will achieve that in time. There is a sense of continuity in all her scenes and she deserves to be applauded for the same. Dhruv has acted very well. Such movies give you the clear idea that small budget multiplex movies by Rajat Kapoor, Ranvir Shorey, Konkona Sen Sharma, Vinay Pathak etc. were hit not just by chance or due to them being in new format, but only and only because of the aforesaid actors. Social messages may differ in different movies, but it all boils down to the condemnation of exploitation and stripping one of his/her dignity without leaving any route of escape! Rightful and dignified existence is everyone's birth right and we should be very much instrumental in availing the same for ourselves as well as others. And this implementation should start from home. Any prolonged scenario of injustice is bound to create havoc later and affect multiple lives. So why not curb it in the initial stage itself? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review mirza m The surprise success of the year..Paresh Rawal & Rajeev Khandelwal prove yet again why they are among the most versatile actors in the industry today.. must watch..
