A lovely, broken little thing

You watch a movie like Anwar and immediately you think to yourself: 'These are the sorts of movies India should be submitting to the Baftas and the Oscars', and Manish Jha delivers this incredible story note-perfectly. Anwar is, at heart, a... Full review

The best way to describe this movie is to say that its about a bunch of broken love stories with a socially conscious angle. The social tone of the movie is pretty obvious since the previous work of the director has... Full review
The movie starts with a lot of promise, but it fails to live up to the start. The excellent cinematography is spoiled by some loose performances and poor storyline. It seems that a 'short story' has been elongated too far. The... Full review
I rejoiced for Manish Jha's bravado and intelligent approach to movie making and stepping away from Bollywood style tripe. Vijay Raaz's acting as the eternally sad Master Pasha was incredible-kudos-I admire your work and its authenticity and glad you haven't sold... Full review

I loved this movie, it is truly a very good drama along with romance reflecting the bitter truth of the contemporary Indian society. The movie has a pleasant background music and a very well knitted plot, elements of real life such... Full review

This isn't your typical Indian film when a girl and a boy fall in love through a series of songs, and the parents forbid it until during a teary dramatic speech they accept the fact they belong together, no. This story... Full review

Anwar was on the "Top 10" on B4U rating. I too was bored. I thought, I could spend some time with the latest movie. My GOD, it was totally USELESS one... Surely not worth watching even once. Only one song was... Full review

The focus of Jha's narrative is an old abandoned temple where a derelict-lover Anwar (Siddharth Koirala) takes refugee. I'd rather see the politics that envelopes the entire murky skyline as an offshoot of the love story about the sensitive Anwar whose love for the girl next door Mehroo (Nauheed Cyrusi) is thwarted by the happening Hindu boy (Hiten Tejwani). ...

But still, nothing can save Anwar from being a disaster. Anwar is a wasted attempt at making an issue based film. The problem with Anwar is over-ambitiousness on the part of the director Manish Jha who floats in too many directions at the same time. ... Full Review

Initial reports indicate that 'Anwar' is yet another good effort by Jha who has walked a tight rope in narrating the tale of the central protagonist named 'Anwar' and extracted superlative performances by his entire main and supporting cast. 'Anwar' is looking interesting ... Full Review
