Pooja Bhatt has done a great job this time. All the performances are top-notch from Anupam Kher to Ashutosh Rana to Sara. Muzammil gives a fantastic debut. The Bhatt camp cannot deliver a movie without good songs, and Dhokha is no... Full review

Pooja Bhatt is living proof that Farrah Khan was wrong, not all female directors have been cursed to the realm of documentary film making. I saw a recent episode of 'Koffee with Karan' in which Karan Johar praised Farrah Khan's directing... Full review

If Daddy does a critically acclaimed "Zakhm", will daughter lag behind? Yes, "Dhokha" seems very much inspired by the former and tried to dish out a product which is a mix of suspense, marriage, communal (dis)harmony, pseudo-secularism and suicide bomber. Muzammil... Full review

a good film but not amazing...yes, it is different and thought-provoking like all mahesh Bhatt films. This film, however, could have been MUCH better. Everyone acted well, direction was great. Cinematography was also good, so where did it lack? The movie... Full review
This movie is based on struggle for Muslims in India to be accepted and how some events happen that change people's lifes. It is a very very sad movie but has a good story line. Great acting- all new actors. If you are bored watching the usual family drama and romance, this is a good refresher. Well directed!

This is a sorry reflection of the times we live in.
It's nothing but the cowardly act of an aspiring goon.

For all the wrong reasons Dhokha was delayed and marred.
It is indeed a big thing for her, considering the fact that the other two films that came out with Dhokha are already in the past tense.

Dhokha not only takes this challenge up, but also dresses it in a different background, and accessorizes it with a convincing back-story .
Muzzamil Ibrahim grasped the nuances of the character pretty well.
The script flows reasonably well.

More than anything else 'Dhokha' is a pungent and powerful product of our troubled times, told with a spirited and sustained energy that allows sound technicians to do their jobs with quiet authority.
Suffused with a sense of imminent catastrophe and an aura of implosive tension applied to the explosive theme, 'Dhokha' is a film that persuades you not-so-gently to think about the quality of lives that we live and a social order that thinks terrorism happens only to 'them'.
