Shortkut – The con is On. Shortkut with a “K”, whatever that means. Produced by Anil Kapoor, directed by Neeraj Vora, written by Anees Bazmee and stars Akshaye Khanna, Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao. And if the early reviews are any indication, its time to switch off the con even before it gets on!
Raja Sen ( Rediff ) – At least it’s better than Kambakkht Ishq and New York put together – 2/5.
Taran Adarsh ( Indiafm) – Is a poor show all the way. A major disappointment – 1 /5
Khalid Mohamed (Aslibaat) – Just another cup of copy….sugarless – 1/5
Rajeev Masand ( CNN IBN ) – Shortkut leaves you bored – 1/5
Baradwaj Rangan (New Indian Express) – A dreadful satire of the film industry is symptomatic of everything that’s wrong with our mainstream cinema
Anand Vaishnav ( Buzz18) – An interesting plot goes haywire due to a lifeless script – 1.5 / 5
Gaurav Malani (Indiatimes) – Cut every possible path, short or long, leading to this film – 1.5 /5
Shubhra Gupta ( Indian Express ) – Arshad Warsi, fine actor, RIP ?
Minty Tejpal ( Mumbai Mirror ) – Avoid this shortcut – 1/5
Aniruddha Guha ( DNA ) – Is a con job by its makers – 1/5
Mayank Shekhar ( NDTV ) – If you happen to catch this disaster, don’t say, I didn’t warn you.
Mayank’s review sums it up well. Do we need tos ay more!
