Reviewed by nairtejas 5 / 10 Capsule Review: Ittefaq On the whole, 'Ittefaq' is a decent watch. Sonakshi Sinha is restrained this time & that works on her advantage. Sidharth Malhotra does an impressive job. He entertains as the detective on a mission. Performance-Wise: Akshaye Khanna is the scene-stealer. Cinematography & Editing add to the film's strength. The identity of the culprit, is interestingly reveled. Nonetheless, there is not much to complain here!Ībhay Chopra, Shreyas Jain & Nikhil Mehrotra's Writing is decently done, with a good culmination.
Of course, the film isn't perfect, as a particular sub-plot in the film's second-hour, lacks the bite.
Its a decent mystery, the unravels nicely. 'Ittefaq', like most thrillers, delivers a dozen of puzzling suspense, but never at the expense of overdoing it. 'Ittefaq' Synopsis: A detective seeks out the truth between two different stories of a crime scene. And Ace Actor Akshaye Khanna entertains all through. Inspired from the 1969 film by the same name, 'Ittefaq' is a decent whodunit mystery-thriller, that succeeds in keeping your interest alive, despite its shortcomings.
I recommend watching the original IT mini series if you haven't already seen it Tim Curry's performance as Pennywise is the reason why people who grew up in the 90s have a fear of clowns because a great actor in the right role can make all the difference in a movie Tim Curry will always be Pennywise no matter how many remakes are made just like Judy Garland will always be Dorothy in The Wizard of OZ there performance makes the movie so memorable and it can't be re-created no matter how much CGI you use.Reviewed by namashi_1 6 / 10 Akshaye Khanna Entertains in a Decent Whodunit!
There are more scenes with Pennywise transforming and creating twisted ways to mess with the returning losers club members but sadly they are all done with CGI and are all standard copy and paste scenes from the original mini series and when the movie finally gets to it's climax the makers of this "Horror Movie" think by simply making Pennywise bigger it instills more fear into the audience when really all it does is scream CGI and all the suspence is watered down to bigger pixels on screen than there where before "Terrifying" The only and I do mean only saving grace this movie has is the cast they all do a great job on screen especially considering they have to pretend to be scared and flee in terror from a green screen it's not the actors fault this movie was a big let down. I personally didn't enjoy IT 2017 so I didn't have much hope for part 2 but I was expecting them to at least tone down the CGI instead they went overkill with it no imagination used here just in your face flashy CGI effects that look fake and plastic the only thing frightening about this movie is that sadly because it made money at the box office more Stephen King books are going to get remakes and it won't be long before we get an all CGI Maximum Overdrive movie remake.
