Kasoor Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.0 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 892.
Kasoor is a step outside the norm for the hindi film indusrty. Refreshingly intelligent and beautifully directed Kasoor is a must see movie. Excellent acting from both leads who were both relatively new to Bollywood. The suspense was intense as was the character portrayed by Aaftab Shivdassani. Liza Ray’s voice seems a bit awkward but her acting make up for it. The musical score was surprisingly different.
The tracks were different from the usual romantic ballads. The atmosphere of professionalism is apparent. The movie is better suited for viewers with refined tastes as this movie is more subtle than the average hindi flick. A thriller to the last second people who don’t usually like Indian movies will like this one.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungaam give 2.5 star out of 5 Star.
