Rakht Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 3.7 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 584.
God only knows why a director such as Mahesh Manjrekar would make such a movie. It starts of slightly original and ends up being a direct “rip off” of “The Gift”, which stars Keanu Reeves and Cate Blanchett, lifted scene-for-scene.
Mahesh is usually a great director doing original material, and this movie makes you wonder why he has gone down this route. Bollywood needs to steer clear of doing direct rip-off movies, such as Hum Kaun Hai (2004) which is “The Others” with Nicole Kidman. If they do copy the idea, they should significantly change it.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh , from Bollywood Hungama give 3 star out of 5 Star.
