Dharam Sankat Mein Reviews

Dharam Sankat Mein review: It's much too long, saying the same thing over and over again.

Between its sentimental leanings and farcical outbursts, the superficial sermonising of Dharam Sankat Mein remains just that -- superficial, says Sukanya Verma.

...is a YAWN FEST. Despite having such a heavy star cast, the film fails to impress. Being a satire it falls flat at making you laugh because of its bad script and shoddy direction.

...is more of an attempt at making some quick cash than to make a film with a heart and mind of its own.

...has some lucid moments of self-questioning where the religious divide is pungently scrutinized and satirized. Hilarity at the cost of organized religion is not an easy target to achieve for any filmmaker.

The direction was directionless. Fuwad Khan wanted to make a film which gave out a socially relevant message and talk about religion at the same time, but he failed miserably at both. Dharam Sankat Mein is a YAWN FEST.

. Dharam Sankat Mein, an official remake of the 2010 British comedy The Infidel, is certainly not half as horrid as the aforementioned monstrosity.

I appreciate the fact that despite the preachy nature of the film, a different approach was endeavoured. More power to such trials even if not many of us are taken in by them.

Even Naseeruddin, Annu can't save this repetitive, preachy monologue on moral qualms...

Clichéd representations of common stereotypes make the interest diminish. The performances by the three main leads and the all-too-brief bits of alleviating humor are the only magnets to your interest!

The actors are in top form – Paresh Rawal is a seasoned actor and Annu Kapoor gives him good company. Nasseruddin Shah does justice to his flamboyant character.

While the director should get credit for choosing a sensitive subject with the right kind of intention, unfortunately, the end result is far from what it could have been Dharam Sankat Meinnbspscreenplay doesnt really live up to…

The satire works at its best when Rawal is at the forefront of things. Thankfully, that's for almost all of the film. Without him, it would've been an also-ran.

Yes, the film does burst quite a few religious myths that prevail in our society, but that alone does not make it an engaging one.

The fact that this film is not named OMG 2. Its tiring to watch social satires which target the same damn thing.

Popular entertainment, or a lively, mass-oriented film such as this, is perhaps our most potent counter to a frightening intolerance. That fact alone makes this a very important and brave film.

But there’s simply too much here. The story tries to accommodate a whole host of issues, fake babas to real crimes, and fails. The Neelananda track is overplayed while the music is underdone.
