BollywoodHungama 4/5

On the whole, KAHAANI works big time because Vidya Balan makes it come alive. It is several notches above the stuff we've been subjected to in the past. The movie triumphs in evoking emotions. You experience compassion, resentment, defenselessness and triumph at a variety of stages. A wonderful movie - going experience. Read More

TimesOfIndia.com 4/5

Sujoy Ghosh's script and direction show no 'pregnant' pauses. It slams home a shock value that a thriller rightly demands. The story totally grips you and leaves you at a dramatic high. The background score (Clinton Cerejo) is arresting; the music is used beautifully to amplify emotions and dramatize moments. Read More

Sly, gripping and taut, Kahaani is much too enjoyable to find flaws. This is, without doubt, Sujoy Ghosh's best work so far. Go watch it. Read More

IBNLive.com 3.5/5

In the end, 'Kahaani' feels longer than its 115 minutes running time, partly because there is no escape from its gritty tone. Yet the suspense remains consistently tight, and the story well - executed. A word also for the haunting background score that only adds to the mood of the film. Read More

At the outset, the logic is impractical but it is all about the making and taking with conviction which brings confidence. While the first half goes about smoothly, the second half picks momentum. Read More

Time and again one hears directors come up with descriptions like 'My film has layer after layer being explored' or 'You would be on the edge of the seat right through the narrative'. Well Sujoy Ghosh, the film's director, doesn't say any of this, he just does it. And that's the strength of his 'Kahaani'. Read More
