Mustafeez Ahmad This is one of the best Indian films i have seen, Bollywood is not known for producing detective stories but they managed such an interesting movie. It was brilliantly detected, decent background music, suspense till the end, nice script, good plot. In a detective story one has to develop every single character from a driver or a neighbor to the detective itself, and the director and writer managed to do so in this. The dialogs are brilliant and can be used in everyday lives. BUT, there is one thing, after the film ends, the director, writer, actors and every body tells us about the making of the film and all. They tell us that it took them a lot of days to build up Samrat's character in the film, they considered a lot of things and thought a lot before giving a summer of the character to Rajeev khandelwal. While the truth is, all they did was ask Rajeev to closely observe Benedict Cumberbatch's character and copy it, which he did. Same attitude, same lifestyle, same coat, same way of setting the collar of the coat. They should have at least told us that they were inspired by the brilliance of Benedict Cumberbatch. Otherwise, as a whole, the film is awesome, suspense till the very end. The actors did great job.

Bcool Adil i think movie 'samrat and co.' is a typical Indian drama serial 'Adaalat' copy, starting was fine but ending and way to find murderer was not so good... i watched the same way to find the criminal many times in Adaalat's episode. Bollywood_Hungama gave only 3 out of 10 i don't know why people make it 6.6 out of 10 on IMDb. My personal advice is that if you does not want to watch this movie, watch any of Adaalat episode i am sure that you will find more info and more entertainment through that drama. And at last some minor mistakes one is weird hair-style and other is speaking in fast mode tactics of detective and still there are many other sequences in the film which force you to call it a childish attempt in a serious movie.

ANUNAY SHARMA Samrat and co. is a mystery thriller film but it lacks a plot.It may be tauted as a thriller but it also lacked thrills.The movies relies heavily on Rajeev and he does his job nicely.The main problem of the movie was its lazy script.This story seems good on paper but on screen it was too loose containing a lot of plot holes.The story was so simple but it was dragged too much.It could have been trimmed for at least 20-25 mins.From the beginning the mystery has been created very nicely but its conclusion was too boring.The climax of the movie was on of the biggest drawbacks of this movie.But still it was a non- predictable plot which was engaging.It was neither too boring nor too good.In acting department Rajeev does a fantastic job.He looked good in the role and played it well.The direction of the movie was weak.Some dialogues of the movie were good while some were confusing and irritating.Such types of movie needs a solid characterization and this film is weak in this section.Music was average but the locations were good and gave pleasure to the eyes.Overall it is an Indian version of Sherlock holmes which could have been better but was marred by a bad plot.Still it could be watched once as it a bit different from usual bollywood flicks. RATING : 6.3 out of 10

neha_1307 One of the best detective movie made in India. There are very few detective movies that are made in India. Samrat and Co is unique in all regards. Awesome Dialogues. This is a Movie which not only provokes you to think but also makes you laugh now and then. It is a fast paced movie. I would recommend it as "Must watch". Sweet, Light, Intriguing:). Watch out for Watson aka CD he will help you to relax your facial muscles with his one liners :). Chemistry between STD and CD is superb:). The only drawback of the movie is the heroine. she looks very plastic but thankfully she does not have much to do. "Tch" signature of STD will totally make you go mad.
