I really enjoyed it! What a great Indian movie! It' so intense and full of mystery with a big twist at the end. The cinematography is beautiful and the score is also very good. Vydia Balan has a great performance!
It's very worth seeing!
I really want to continue to explore Indian cinema.

8.5/10

I think I've found my new favourite Bollywood film.

The story was very original; very pregnant woman searches for her husband that has gone missing.

The acting was top notch, especially Vidya Balan and Parambrata Chatterjee.

You could say another character of the film was the street life of this Indian city. I loved it!

The story was very good overall, with only a couple of weaker notes, but even these could be explained on hindsight. I can't really go into more detail without adding spoilers... and this movie should not be spoiled.

This is a perfect film for us "Westerners" to watch to show us that there's as much variety to Bollywood cinema as that of any other.

Feminist film noir which brims with intensity and mystery. It stars the stupendous Vidya Balan in yet another unconventional and full-bodied character, this time as a pregnant woman searching relentlessly for her missing husband. Though she's helped by some kind companions, including a young cop who falls for her, there seems to be a dead end at every turn and the mystery grows deeper yet. Kahaani captures Kolkata (Calcutta) beautifully, showing all of the joys and setbacks in this chaotic Indian city. Great score, excellent cinematography and editing and convincing performances from the entire cast. Even the romance is underplayed and subtle. Kahaani is a great mystery story with an ending that is surprising but very believable.

Every bit as good as I've heard. Vidya Balan keeps knocking it out of the park, and Sujoy Ghosh's work is impressive. People complaining about plot holes obviously had nothing better to complain about.

I was really enjoying it, up until the part at the end. Still not sure how I feel about that one.

Well shot and acted thriller that comes undone by a Bollywood conventional ending.

Looses a little something on repeated viewing, but to be fair this is the fourth time I've watched this film. This time around i noticed how shaky the camera was during a lot of the scenes and the editing seemed a bit distracting... not sure what that means but take it as you will. I still like it.
