Ittefaq movie review: what critics say (19)
What critics say Critics are divided: 4 of 19 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 3 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the music.
There are two murders, there are two suspects, and there is one scowling police detective trying to unravel things on a very rushed timeline.
Read the full reviewA formulaic whodunit sans intrigue...The non-linear narrative appears confusing and repetitive for the viewer.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
