Iqbal

The movie was not that great, however, the script written by Vipul K Rawal was awsome. Not many people know that Nagesh ripped off Vipul's Script but since he had all the proof, Nagesh had to settle out of court and... Full review

IQBAL is an excellent movie by Nagesh Kuknoor. His earlier film HYDERBAD BLUES was also good film thematically and in characterization.but had rather loose screen play. But this time he has written a very tight screen play and he has... Full review

Iqbal has to be one of the best movies India has had to offer yet. I was so glued to this movie that I actually finished it in only one sitting. It is a Highly inspirational movie which tells us... Full review

I think Iqbal is a class apart movie n it deserves awards .I agree that Black was a beautiful movie but just see the simplicity in that film.The cast was just the best:-) 1 Shreyas Talpade was a class apart... Full review

Iqbal is not exactly a award-winning work but it is definitely very well-made with the typical Nagesh Kukunoor stamp on it. After Hyderabad Blues, Bollywood Calling and Rockford this is the fourth movie from Kukunoor that I have watched and... Full review

Everybody wants to see the underdog triumph. But what we Don't want to see in the process is unnecessary over-the-top pity/sympathy created for the underdog. Nagesh Kukunoor understands this. He gives us the kind of cinema which is entertaining, simple... Full review

Watched Iqbal yesterday. Yes, this movie is exactly what the abundance of word of mouth on it asserts - the best movie of this year.I don't think this is a great movie, it's just that it is so rare to... Full review

I went to this movie just today. I heard great reviews from everybody and I finally watched it today. Nagesh Kukunoor has the knack of coming up with some good films, especially off late after Teen Deewarein(Which was brilliant). This... Full review

Iqbal doesn't require those plain, ch..ya reviews but aggressive reviews. Call it a bouncer, a sixer, a century, whatever. The experience is as exhilarating. Welcome new cinema. Welcome Iqbal. A movie devoted to a criminally ignored aspect of cricket called... Full review

This is all about chasing your dreams, no matter what the obstacles. The movie is funny in a subtle way and the acting is brilliant. It is rare that such gems come out of the Indian Film industry. Overall a... Full review

Ironically, the brand equity of big film producing companies always takes a nose dive when films like Tashan, Kal Kisne Dekha....It's a completely chaotic story that keeps hurtling towards doom from the word go.....And if that wasn't atrocious enough, there is Jaaved Jaffrey, again a fine actor, playing a completely kitschy Kareena to Talpade's Karisma..... ...

nurture and allow it to flower to its fullest potential.....In any case, inspite of a highly predictable storyline, I loved every frame of it!....Anything I say is less for this amazingly talented actor.....The ideal ideal , Kapil Dev, playing the camoe role of the 'selector' makes for the hope element in the film, providing the squeeky-clean possibility..... ...

In Nagesh Kukunoor's recent hit `Iqbal,' "everything had to look realistic. The shadowy manthrikappura and the song sequences wherein some of Raja Ravi Varma's paintings were recreated on celluloid by Kavya Madhavan and Prithviraj mesmerise viewers with their attention to detail and superb lighting effects. ...

But Shweta Prasad who plays Iqbal's doting kid sister steals every scene from Talpade.....If Iqbal's rapport with his coach is devoid of surprising moments, it's also heartwarming enough to make youforget its lack of newness.....the storytelling shines beyond therealm of the familiar.....Substance doesn't sit uneasily over Iqbal.....Shreyas Talpade is more than adequate as the unspoken and yet highly expressive protagonist..... ... Full Review

Nagesh Kukunoor should be a happy man now as 'Iqbal' bridges a gap between so called offbeat films and commercial cinema. Another good factor about the movie is that never once is the character of Iqbal shown to be helpless and dependant on others for his well being. ... Full Review
