The only ‘facts’ in this movie is that Deccan Airways was created and had cheap flights. All other things like the guy being able to predict the future were an extremely stupid representation. Why hindi movies still try to peddle the narrative of ‘rich people are evil’ and ‘poor people all have a lot of principles’, I will never understand. Life is never black & white, and giving people the message that all they need to do is make a loud noise and they will succeed in life is an extremely dangerous message to give out in a movie. Success is never a one way street and people learn a lot on the path. There is no mature growth shown in the character, but instead it’s just ‘I am right and the world is wrong and anyone rich is always evil’. This movie was a serious waste of time.

The movie made no sense to me. If any child finds out they were adopted, they would have many questions and issues, but ‘religion’ would definitely not supersede all other issues. The concept of this movie is extremely weird, and instead of tackling this subject in a sensitive manner, they have made it all about Hindu-Muslims. Make absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I found this very disturbing to watch (for exactly the opposite reason mentioned by most commenters here). 1. There has been zero evidence of cyanide in 4 out of 6 deaths, and yet the media and Indian police are linking the 6 deaths together. Why was due diligence not followed at the time of death? Why was autopsy not even done for the baby and the last death? These were people outside her family so surely the husband Shaju could have asked for cause of death? Something just doesn’t add up. 2. The documentary describes that the person filing the complaint (Renji) was at the house to apparently ‘save the kids’ and was left alone with them when it rained etc. She had full opportunity and motive to plant the cyanide there at that point. Why was the house not sealed off after arrest? Why was the house not searched for evidence at the time of arrest? This reeks heavily of something fishy by either Renji or the police. Evidence that has had the chance to be tampered with should not be admissible in court. 3. The documentary heavily relies on ‘hearsay’. Proving that Jolly has fake education certificates or a fake job does not prove she is a murderer. That line of thinking is illogical in a country where many many people have fake documents and it’s so easy to get fake certificates in that sort of environment. At this rate, half the country should be labelled murderers. 4. There has been no effort made to understand either the point of view or real motive of Jolly if she did indeed do anything. In a place like India, ‘property’ seems to be a normal thing to argue over in families. But is that a reason someone will kill people? And further, can this be proved logically? Nowhere has any kind of confession or other proof been supplied. So this kind of terrifies me that ‘mob mentality’ is more important than logical justice. And mob mentality there seems to blatantly brand anyone a criminal without proper investigation or human rights to a just trial. This makes me terrified of the justice system there. Imagine visiting the country and getting stuck in a legal case (even if you are innocent) and such illogical scenarios which prevent you proving innocence. That would be absolute hell to be in such a place.

Extremely biased movie which tries to portray U.K. in a bad light. Crime exists in most countries (much much more in developing countries) but to portray U.K. as a dangerous place where even walking on streets is dangerous - that’s something only an Indian mind can come up with. If the film-makers wanted to portray even a shroud of reality, the very least would be to call the police and let them deal with it. The entire developing country portrayal of a hero person beating people up in broad daylight without witnesses or consequences is dumb. The movie doesn’t seem to have any plot or any story really. All it seems to say is ‘all countries are bad’ and ‘developing countries like India are the safest in the world’. In a world with the internet, everyone already knows that’s not the case and therefore it’s torture to watch something so unrealistic and badly created.

Pathetic movie in every possible way. Firstly, it’s not 1964 anymore. Someone needs to inform the entire crew of this movie that the story and all the various dialogues and actions feel like they are from 1964. The first thing that was intolerable in this movie was that the only opinion that seemed to matter was of this male character. His view of ‘I have to earn and pay dowry for sisters’ was glorified. No one cares about the opinions of the sisters or any other person in the movie. They haven’t even bothered to create any sort of personality to the sisters. When one of their weddings is fixed by a mediator, Akshay Kumar’s character doesn’t even ask the details of the guy, just touches the feet of the mediator that the wedding is fixed! And when he goes home and tells the sister, she is also not interested in the details of the guy, but is overly happy that her marriage is fixed!! Like who in the world (in any country) would not want details of someone they are supposed to spend their life with? The entire demeaning of the dowry protestor by saying ‘you are only protesting because you have daughters instead of sons’ was unnecessary and the justification of men having a purpose to earn for sister/daughter’s dowries felt like they were justifying the illegal act of dowry. The justification was not even multi-perspective or intelligent, it was just ‘dowry is correct and gives us purpose’. Is supporting illegal activities the new hobby of Bollywood movies? Recently another rubbish movie called Dunki supported illegal immigration and this one supports illegal dowry. The consequences of the girl being murdered by harassment feel like an after-thought in the last 10 mins, by which time it’s too late to inject any intelligence or sense into this badly made piece of cinema. One of the scenes where the father of Bhumi’s character points to her head-to-toe and says ‘what will I do of this thing’ will haunt me for months and not be erased from memory as ‘demeaning behaviour by Indians due to which that country is unsafe to go to’. Indian cinema needs to find a way to portray reality by showing different perspectives (even the woman’s perspective) not just a ‘only male person’s perspective matters’ kind of cinema. This movie is an insult to the millions of Indian women who have their own careers and personalities and their only aim is not ‘a brother who wants to sell them off’. Very demeaning!

Dumb plot and bad execution. The only message in this movie is to promote illegal immigration into developed countries. Next would be to promote other criminal activities and justify them with a long speech about poverty and how it’s ok to cheat people if you are poor.

I am once again absolutely amazed at Indian propaganda of believing absolute lies and trying to push this fake image of ‘Everyone in the world is trying to push India down because they are jealous’. Before the internet, at least Indians believed the fake propaganda. Now that everyone knows real-time what is happening everywhere in the world, pushing fake ideas (like the Kremlin does) is completely outdated. The entire portrayal of world scientists saying ‘India should accept foreign vaccines’ is so childish and weird. We all lived through the pandemic (in various countries) and literally the only time anyone in world saw any Indian news was when the second wave killed many people and there was a shortage of oxygen cylinders. The entire world saw how corrupt and insensitive Indian people were while black-marketing oxygen cylinders to people who could not afford them. This movie peddles the narrative of ‘lies are the truth’ and is made specifically for uneducated people who will believe the nationalism narrative. Thankfully even in a developing country like India, people are starting to get more educated and throwing such trash movies in the garbage where they belong. The scientific community across the world did an amazing job (although a rushed one) for the vaccine and this movie goes on to blatantly insult scientists from other parts of the world, whose vaccine CoviShield saved many Indian lives. Talk about ungratefulness and insulting world-scientists after importing and using their inventions!! India seriously need to start having some principles and values to start with, pushing lies is hardly a way to get ahead in the world!

Extremely poor filmmaking and storytelling. This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched. There is also a lot of unnecessary gore and illogical sequences that you kind of feel like they should have a deeper meaning, but by the end you discover there is no deeper meaning. Complete waste of time and actually disturbing in a way.
