Ahana

So much advertisement done by Netflix before the launch of the film, only to go down the drain! I wonder how do these movies manage to get more than a single star. Such a waste of the handful of talented crew who were a part of this movie (example: Vinay Pathak, Alyy Khan). Don't even want to mention the disastrous acting of Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, Agyasta Nanda and Khushi Kapoor. The characters played by these four disasters lacked even a fraction of the depth that was required to play that role. Apart from the disastrous acting, the entire movie seemed like a bunch of headless chickens running behind an imaginative story. Bad screenplay, bad direction, bad story setting, everything about this movie is a horror except for the visual display. Zoya - have really liked all of your previous work but this one is a real real blunder! Please do some real soul searching on this movie!

ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IN RECENT TIMES. Every single person involved in the project has done justice to this movie. Take it from me, have seen multiple times how a lack of good direction and screenplay can do injustice to a really good story. But this movie defied it all! Watched the Hindi version of this movie in Hotstar a couple of days ago and can't stop appreciating it since then. In awe of the director and the entire crew how they have beautifully handled such a sensitive issue. Siddharth is one of those rare and exceptional actors who have gone unappreciated and undervalued for a long time. Can't even imagine how difficult it must have been to portray both happiness and grief at the same time, but this man has done it! And God, that one particular scene is incredible! The movie begins with a light-hearted note with usual things happening in their daily lives but the way in which the story eventually unfolds to its tragic peak, is such incredible. The incidents as shown in the movie sent jitters down my spine. Hope this movie makes it to the Academy award nominations and also wins it because it really deserves the best!
