Ek Hasina Thi Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 7.6 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 6599.
Though Ek Hasina Thi will never be considered a great classic I was pleasantly surprised that this Bollywood thriller was better than expected. The story is sorta hokey and the acting is campy but what’s fun is how entertaining it was. Very few films today are entertaining, per se, so you can imagine how unexpected it was to see an entertaining thriller from Bollywood.
Ek Hasina Thi is not your typical Bollywood movie: there’s no musical numbers, the violence is realistic and it looks modern enough. What’s amazing is Ek Hasina Thi succeeds were many Hollywood produced films fail. Films like Killing Me Softly, which made me laugh nonstop, looks like a complete joke compared to Ek Hasina Thi.
Critics Rating by Md Shahad Bhuiyan, from Times Of India give 4.2 star out of 5 Star.
