I'm really keen in films that are dark & sinister like Karam and Zinda but AKS wasn't entertaining. The idea of the story is good about a police officer (Amitabh Bachchan) and a psychotic terrorist (Manoj Bajpai) shot each other simultaneously... Full review

AKS is another one of those movies for which I've had the soundtrack for a very long time, but always held back from picking up the movie due to a sneaking suspiscion that it wouldn't be very good. It's also one... Full review

Channel 4 Film
The star cast, the gripping story and the strong vision of director Rakesh Mehra should have produced an adrenaline-pumped action fest, with dark trimmings. Unlike Face/Off, the Bollywood film takes a spiritual twist, with Raghavan's soul taking possession of Manu, making this decorated hero a psychotic schizophrenic. ... Full Review

Nandita Das is brilliant as Supriya, Manu Verma's doting, proud and fiercely protective wife. Rakesh Mehra (who cowrote the screenplay of Aks in two days flat), has made full use of Paul Sims (Visual Effects Designer) and Nick Dudman (Prosthetics Makeup), especially in scenes where Manu Verma/Raghavan tear off masks to reveal the person beneath without having to edit the shot or sending him behind a tree as is wont in Hindi films. ...
