Roy Reviews

So here are my questions. Who wrote this? Who is it for? The mystery and the enigma, which are set up lazily and obviously, never really take root.

The director, who is also the co-writer of the dialogue, knows the primacy of a kahani, if the lines his characters spout are any indication.

If anything, Roy absolutely merits an ambiguous ending, but again, maybe the time has not come to over-decorate a risky concept. The presentation is fine and for now, an idea, in Don Cobb's words, is the most resilient parasite.

I don’t know yeh film kaise ban gayi,’ wonders Arjun Rampal in one of the most honest moments of the baffling, boring Roy.Roy is so tangled in its inflated, erratic ideas of a pseudo mystery around parallel lives and loves that…

If you have no plans this Valentine's weekend, Roy might be a good idea. But then again, there are better things to do… If you know what I mean.

Watch it for the debutant director's attempt at telling a different story with gorgeous actors that make enough eye candies!

The unintentionally funny dialogues aside, it's unlikely that you'll be smiling through this misery.

The film has its fair share of flaws, but that doesn't overshadow its unique concept and ingenious narrative style.

'Roy is an interesting-shaded in pastel colours and a tender timbre the debutant director Vikramjit Singh undertakes an intriguing journey where the real mocks the reel and the creator merges into his creation.But finally the…

... the viewer is often lost in a labyrinth, which is interesting for a while, and onerous thereafter.

Did anyone who was attached to the film actually read the script before showing up on set? The one strength of the film is its terrific soundtrack, even if those infectious dance numbers do pop up in not all the right places.

While the film is shot beautifully, it's the story that falls flat mainly because it is packed with too much randomness in the name of art and intensity.

I’m told releasing a film is not easy. One has to have a good story, get the cast in place, and convince a producer to back it and then get a studio to release it.

A deathly boring film like Roy is only made once a while, why was it made in the first place still remains a mystery.

Here's what they get, entirely out of context: Long pauses. Pretentious bollocks for dialogue between three decent Bollywood tracks. The massive mansion. Horses in slo-mo. Vast ocean under a semi-lit sky.

Watch it if you want to, but Roy was just too pretentious for my choice.

Roy is boring, exhausting and pretentious – save your money and time by staying away.

Even if you give the film a point or two extra for attempting something different, you can't escape the fact that it is on the borderline of making very little sense. Different ain't good enough.

Bollywood movie Roy by Vikramjit Singh starring Arjun Rampal, Ranbir Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez has released today. Read Roy movie review.

`Roy` does have quintessential element of a Bollywood story - betrayal, love, conspiracy, emotion – but it fails to come out.

Its story is an absolute drag, and eventually ends up losing the plot much before the film ends. In fact the last twenty minutes or so in the movie are far better than the rest of the 147-minutes long film.

At the outset, Roy stands out among the melee of films because of its sheer beauty Jacqueline Fernandez, Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor, who play the lead characters, do contribute to this, but what stands out more is the slick…

Roy is a twisted love story that has a thriller coating. It is a non-purpose film which gives nothing but just tells a story that is multi-layered to create intrigue.

Vikramjeet Singh has penned a story which is far from engaging or interesting. That it moves at a painfully slow pace and thereby tests the audiences patience is just one of the many problems.

Debutant director Vikramjit’s premise is uncommon; the execution is stylish – with beautifully captured actors and ambience, but it turns into an emotional drama (often too complex) rather than a taut romantic thriller.
