Review of the film :
This film have mostly Positive reviews from critics, However Box office wise Unsuccessful film.
Critics review :
- Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 3 star from 5 star and STated that “INKAAR succeeds in bringing out the right emotions from its actors. Arjun Rampal displays remarkable understanding of the character.Chitrangda immerses herself into the role brilliantly. She uses her lustiness in a wicked, dominating way and that’s what catches your eye. It’s great to see Deepti Naval after a hiatus. The film has a collage of talented actors, which includes Vipin Sharma, Mohan Kapur, Asheesh Kapur, Shivani Tanksale, Gaurav Dwivedi and Rehana Sultan and each of them stands out in his/her respective part. On the whole, INKAAR is for spectators of serious cinema. Caters to a niche audience!”
- Karan Anshuman of Mumbai Mirror gave 4 out of 5 stars, quoting “Inkaar is not about office politics as you might imagine, even though many moments shape an accurate portrayal. It is not about sexual harassment in the workplace as it is being marketed though that is the searing crucible in which complex, often unnatural dollops of human emotion are left to sputter and interact, never coalescing. Everything else is an elaborate backdrop. And finally when the truth unravels – when motives come to light – I had a great urge to watch the film again. And with movies, this urge supersedes all flaws.”Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com has given 2 star from 5 stars, stated that “Inkaar trivialises something serious like sexual harassment into a terrible joke.”
