Good concept, poorly executed.

A Brilliant Conflict

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is a nice movie with a great storyline and a simple execution. I really enjoyed the low mirch masala style of direction. Manoj Bajpai is as usual good - but is not helped by a few weaker actors around him. Editing could have been a lot tighter to bring this movie under 2hrs...........may have been even better viewing

No need to watch this movie. really bad story and execution. wasted really fine talented actors.

In essence Aiyyary is more a Scam busting operation than a proper espionage film. This may be the reason where it loses the plot and becomes just a one time watch. The start is good & very promising, the middle build up is elaborate, slow & bit disconnected, the wrap up is just " A plot opposite Sea Castle hotel in South Mumbai..... "This is a Manoj Bajpayee film & he played it to perfection. 2 of his appearances are truly nice & could have been more elaborate than other dialogues & routine, run-of-the mill punch lines. Sidharth Malhotra plays good part as protegee & romance angle in the movie. Naseeruddin Shah even though underutilized gives a glimpse of what it could have been. Rakul Preet Singh not much to say.Other characters, have very limited scope as Anupam Kher, Adil Hussain, Juhi Babbar got may be just 15-20 mins combine.

AIYAARY, is a thriller completely for the class audiences Manoj Bajpayee as usual nailed it. Nasiruddin Shah was impressive as always. Script was a bit weak. One can easily feel that although Puja Chopra's and Rakul Preet's performance are decent but their characters are not very well written. As a thriller novelist I am bound to say that in place of creating these two characters (Puja Chopra's role and Rakul Preet's role ) if the story writer could have just created one strong powerful character and written a good role.Sanjay Agnihotri Novelist
