Missing movie review: Tabu and Manoj Bajpayee’s film shines in parts but is letdown by amateurish writing
Want to watch Missing? Check out our review before you do so!
Verdict
Missing keeps you hooked but it is largely due to the camerawork, crisp editing and Tabu and Annu Kapoor’s performance. The film is let down by bad dialogues. While Mukul has succeeded in building some truly suspenseful scenes, the film loses steam in the last 15 minutes. At the climax, you know what to expect but the treatment isn’t bad. It leaves you unsatisfied thinking it could be have been a lot better.
Rating: 1.5 out of 5
Suspense thrillers are rare in Bollywood, so every time we see a promising trailer lovers of the genre like me flock to the theatres. Missing is a thriller about the disappearance of a little girl in a posh hotel in Mauritius. Does she get reunited with her parents? What is her real story? These are the points the film explores in the form of an investigative thriller. Missing is directed by Mukul Abhyankar and stars Manoj Bajpayee, Tabu and Annu Kapoor in lead roles.
