Encounter : The Killing movie Review :
This film reviews are mostly positive , Sify.com Critics gave 3 star out of 5 star.
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 1.5 star from 5 star and stated that “There are several well-executed sequences in the first half, but the film starts dragging in the post-interval portions. Director Ajay Phansekar succeeds in making you think and has extracted fine performances from the cast. Dialogues are well penned. Editing is loose, mainly towards the second half. Performance wise, Naseeruddin Shah is first-rate. He carries the film on his firm shoulders. Akash Khurana is competent. Ratna Pathak Shah is alright. Tara Deshpande is okay. Dilip Prabhawalkar is good. This film can qualify as a festival film, but commercially it will attract only a niche audience.”
