I went to see this movie in London. It was decent enough, without ever touching greatness. The problem was that it took too long to get going, as the first hour of 2 and a half was used up in... Full review

Wow did I like this movie. I might even buy it. First of all, to see Sharmila Tagore acting after SO long (24 years, I think) is like watching a beautiful butterfly light on a nearby flower. She really hasn't... Full review

A movie that is full with power packed performances from Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham. It shows how the political power in India can ruin the life of a simple "common man". It shows how the... Full review

Viruddh is a fine attempt to sketch the lives of two bereaving people coming to terms with the loss of their son.....The emphasis, rather, is on the realistic depiction of the story..... ... Full Review

Smash Hits, India
As an entertainer, 'Viruddh' does have its high values.....The fight against the system is not a novel idea in Bollywood films.....John Abraham and Sanjay Dutt lend good support to the 'Viruddh' team.....if he is given the liberty to make a film of his own choice, he will always come up with an emotional story like this.....It is nice too see this talented actress make a comeback to cinema..... ...

Abida Parveen's soul-stirring voice and Bhavdeep Jaipurwale's musical arrangement makes these songs the best of the lot in Viruddh album. Firstly, the album has just one original composition and the remaining songs are compiled from non-filmi albums of various artists. ... Full Review
