A sad excuse and a vain attempt at a so-called mystery thriller…. That was one and half hours of my life I am never getting back… Could have rather sat and watched paint dry instead of this logic deprived debacle of a film!! One can only ponder as to why would anyone make such a dreadful film with artists who have delivered stellar performances before…. Has film making hit a new low or has the nuevo production houses desperate to churn out mind numbing calamities to while away time…. A penchant lacking story line with just emphasizes on getting the camera angles apt for an eagle eye view of the Hill station’s Location treeline and greenery…. Uffff all throughout the film one can only recall the heavily pregnant protagonist panting in every other second frame with a constipated look on her face either screaming out “ Ajay” or “ Cyrus” and aimlessly wandering around on her own !! And to top it off - a dampening predictable- used a many times - wet towel climax, which make this a comic bored outta bed attempt!! And a name called “Rhythm” for the lead character was indeed an effort taken…. NOT! Might as well named the other characters “Treble “and “Bass” !! Let alone the movie title “Penguin”, for which the film makers try and warrant it by subtly slipping in an irrelevant kid’s fictional story book narration to correlate the relevance!!!! The director & editor might as well find another daytime job, instead of subjecting the viewers to such a lame excuse of a film…. Its seems like as if the filmmakers nowadays take the audiences to be such delinquents, who would watch & accept an excuse of a movie in this day and age!
