Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho Movie Review

This could have been a sharp black comedy with a strong sense of place , mining its superb absurdist premise : at one point, you are actually gifted the real meaning of that hoary expression gayi bhains paani mein.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho should have been a much better film, if not let down by writing. The direction however is at par with any other good work. There is no solution preached. But no solid statement made either.

...a pathetic attempt at storytelling that reminds us that not even talented actors cannot save a film from failure if its screenplay is an abominable mess.

The filmmakers have however, succeeded in creating a rustic, rural milieu, that lends the right backdrop for the story to unfold.

Debutant director Vinod Kapri was astute in picking a subject that tabloid headlines are made of. But in execution, he couldn't convey the mood of the story. Directing a satire can be tricky.

A little inventiveness and craft combined with some smart writing would have been enough to make this a sharper more gratifying experience. But alas, Kapri is just not up to the task.

All in all, you can give a try to Miss Tanakpur Hazir Ho as there are no other better films releasing this week.

Vinod Kapri’s debut into Bollywood on the back of his ‘Miss Tanakpur’ buffalo is a bumpy ride. Heaps of squandered potential make one sigh at Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho. Added to that is the speed of the narrative.

The dialogues are clunky, the plot points are convenient and characters motivations, well, who are we kidding?

For those looking for a break from the Bollywood staple of star-studded, buffed up, feel-good entertainers, this film might be two hours and a bit well spent.

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho not only goofs up the metaphors everywhere, it even mocks rape survivors and the trauma of innocent people being framed in false cases. Not a single thing in Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho makes it worth a watch.

On the whole, Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho is, by and large, an entertaining film which will be liked by the class audience but its box-office prospects are dull because its promotion has been extremely low-key and satiri­cal films…

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho comes across as a strained attempt at replicating Jolly LLB-esque storytelling.Sanjay Mishra brings some comedic heft to the films handful of funny moments.Like many of its peers, Miss Tanakpur takes off…

For a satire, subtlety is what you miss. You can’t possibly harp on potty jokes, describe women’s breast sizes and crack jokes on rape to sound smart and socially responsible.
