Masoom is a brilliant film in itself. One good thing that happened after watching Dus Kahaniyaan was that one of the stories pleasantly surprised us - Rice Plate. The director is the hero. ... Full Review

By the same yardstick, Dus Kahaniyaan is dull and boring because for one, there is no common premise, and also because barring maybe two films, there's very little difference in the shooting or editing of most stories. He rips off the entire premise of that thought-provoking short film, replacing that film's classic element - silence - with unnecessary spoon-feeding. ... Full Review

What makes "Dus Kahaniyaan" vibrant is it audacious format and styling, sometimes at the cost of substance. There are two stunning exceptions - "Gubbare" written by the inimitable Gulzar. ... Full Review

What makes 'Dus Kahaniyaan' vibrant is it audacious format and styling, sometimes at the cost of substance. The only story that moves away from the crippling claustrophobia of the pitiless city into the equally merciless rural hinterland in 'Pooranmashi' with a strong central performance by Amrita Singh holding up the stunning story by the spine. ...

Ten short films, by a bunch of directors: Dus Kahaniyan is like an anthology of short stories, one or two very good, one or two just-about-all-right, one or two which leave you cold, and one or two, which are plain bad.

I went to watch Dus Kahaniyaan with an expectation that even if three of the ten shorts are good, it would be worth a watch and to my delight five of them are remarkable while three are moderately good. Nevertheless, it's a welcome and refreshing beginning in Bollywood for young and talented directors to come together and make short and sweet films. ... Full Review

Over all the concept of the film is not bad The film is good and both B-Town superstars keep you at the edge of the seat. The narrative is well structured and the director delivers the biggest stroke right at the end that you would never see coming. ... Full Review
