BollywoodHungama 3/5

On the whole, ALLAH KE BANDAY is a gritty, stimulating and provocative cinematic experience with a flipside: Not many would prefer a dark film about kids taking to crime and felony. Its appeal, therefore, will remain restricted to a niche audience. Read More

Rediff.com 2/5

What does work for Allah Ke Banday, though, is an overall earnestness to the proceedings -- the film is pretty watchable for the first hour and then gradually loses steam -- and the performances. Read More

NowRunning.com 2/5

Overall, Allah Ke Banday is not a noir and neither is it a true drama - because the drama never builds. It does bring about some thoughts about Juvenile prisons but that could have come out better in a complete documentary-drama. It's just a good story not told well. Read More

Yahoo.in 2.5/5

The background score could be jarring for some but perhaps suitable to the genre. The film is well shot and conceived by Kabir, who clearly makes a better point behind the camera. For a debut, it makes for a rather brave attempt, while most others stick to easily marketable love stories. Read More

Glamsham.com 2.5/5

Faruk Kabir makes a decent acting debut. Naseeruddin Shah is wasted in a miniscule role. Anjana Sukhani is passable. Zakir Hussain is good. Atul Kulkarni plays his part earnestly. Rukhsar doesn't have much scope. The actors who play young Vijay and Yakub are excellent. Read More

NDTV 3/5

The others in the cast merge into the relentless milieu. As usual, the extraordinarily brilliant Naseeruddin Shah is under-used. Whenever he shows up on screen, an extra dimension is effortlessly added to the proceedings. Read More

BharatStudent 3/5

Overall, the film must be appreciated for its realism but this is not something for all genres of viewers. At the box office, this will be an above average grosser. Read More

ApunKaChoice.com 2.5/5

To sum it up, Allah Ke Banday could have been a riveting film and a telling statement about 'children at war'. Alas, it's nothing more than a flawed attempt at a tale about loss, revenge and redemption. Read More

IBNLive.com 2/5

It's the best scene in the film, and one that stands out for the sheer magnificence of Naseer's performance. The film, in the end, is well-intentioned but sloppy. Read More

TimesOfIndia.com 3.5/5

Allah Ke Bandey isn't meant to entertain you. It is a film that makes you sit up and send out a silent lament for the loss of innocence. The high point of the film are its strong performances and its authentic backdrop. Read More
