Hari Kansal Wazir is a film with stereotypical cinematography/direction (especially the love scenes), a horribly failed attempt at playing a mad character by Neil Nitin Mukesh, and just barely believable performances by the usually talented Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar. The music, although carrying the weight of the talented musicians behind it, doesn't adequately carry the heavy emotions of the film itself. Despite all these flaws, the twist at the end makes it just a little better than time-pass, so, watch it if you have time to pass.

Ankit Bhatt (ankitbbd) I feel that this movie had potential but somehow it is not able to deliver as it should have been.The plot is gripping but movie is not fast paced.Overall, movie is good but you have to be patient to fully enjoy this movie.Biggest negative point about this movie is boring screenplay and some emotional scenes that were really not required.Although, story is good overall.Director was not able to deliver it perfectly.Editing could have been better.As expected,Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan have given excellent performances.Overall I give it 7/10.

Tanuj Poddar This is a gripping story that has been beautifully enacted by Amitabh and Farhan. It is a story about two fathers who have lost their daughters. One is a Chess guru (panditji played by Amitabh) who lost her daughter in what he feels was a hushed-up murder, and the other is a ATS officer (daanish played by Farhaan) whose daughter got hit during a shootout while he was trailing a terrorist. This is the basis of a bonding between panditji and daanish. Panditji teaches him using chess metaphors that one has to make sacrifices, wait for the right time and use the resources at hand to win. And sometimes you win by losing. It was a sharp and gripping movie and doesn't stretch very long unnecessarily. Though there are some things that the director could have placed more emphasis so that the movie didn't feel incomplete. The friendship between Daanish and Panditji doesn't come out strongly enough to make you believe that Daanish would do what all he did, only for his friendship. The character of the minister/terrorist was not developed well enough, it could have been given more depth. The chemistry between Daanish and his wife was given much time, but it had minimal impact on the story. The climax where the minister was ambushed didn't have the needed impact. Even the song in the end that was supposed to unravel the mastermind, wasn't created well enough to really intrigue the mind of the viewers. All said and done, it was still a good story with great performance by Amitabh and Farhan. It could have been a little better if the screenplay would have allowed other characters to make a little more impact on the story.

varughesechristy9 Very Interesting movie with great Thrills. Hats off to the whole team. Great Performance by Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akthar. The movie has good music which makes the movie more intense. Outstanding Performance by Neil Nithin Mukesh,the actor has not done many roles but I feel that he has great talent, hopes he gets more roles like these. Have not seen a good movie like this for a while. A really good effort put into the way the movie has been shot. I enjoyed the movie, perfectly executed and well received by the audience. Expecting more good movies like these to come into Bollywood soon. I wrote ten lines just so that my review would be published, I just loved the movie and there's no more to say.
