IPMS VIEWERS OPINION ON HAIDER

Do you like the movie?

Raman
I haven’t read Hamlet, but in Haider he has portrayed the Kashmir picture very well. I am not from Kashmir but I have some relatives there. But the portrayal of the problem of Kashmir, is a different perspective which many Indians do not know. Its a very sensitive picturization. Bollywood tends to make biopics and spoil them with masala. This movie is definitely not for everybody. It’s long and tragic but excellent. It is definitely much better than Bang, Bang which is another Hollywood rip off definitely. People should watch Haider, to get a different perspective about Kashmir. Watch it for Bharadwaj, Gulzar, Kashmir, amazing songs, Shahid and Tabu. Outstanding. Movie is long, does not end where we think it would. Maybe Hamlet is that way. But I would definitely recommend it to all to watch. Four Stars.

Garima
Yes, it’s a good movie. It did stretch a little towards the end but the performances kept it going. The plot of course is very intriguing, you know about his father and all. All in all man lag gaya (my heart was set). It is a good film.

Though the outline is Hamlet, it was more of a political drama. I enjoyed most of it. I am trying hard not to cry. The way it was adopted to the situation in Kashmir was awesome. I was expecting more (time) from the gravedigger scene. I came to this movie for Gulzar and Bharadwaj. Tabu and Shahid were the best. The Salman Khans were very well adapted.

Shakespeare would have been satisfied with this adaptation. I would give five stars to this film.

Marisha
I like the movie. It has very good performances.
But a little slow and depressing.
