I liked only 3 out of ten stories, but the best of all was: Plate of Rice: Shabana and Nasseruddin Shah, 2nd one was Nana Patekar, 3rd best bas Diya Mirza’s story, that’s all.

This is a ridiculous movie !! Really disappointing one !! Though it says there are 6-7 directors, I doubt whether there was even one director involved on this !! You should give the name as “Dus Bakwas Kahaniyaan” !!

I saw the movie this Saturday with a lot of expectations…
Thankfully.. this one didn’t dissapoint me..
Im pretty much convinced with the ratings given by you’ll…
Just not happy with your Pooranmashi rating.. that should have been 4/5..
Along with Pooranmashi, Gubbare and Rice Plate were Awesome..
Zahir was really good… especially the end.. i was in splits..
So was matrimony…. i could guess the end much before though..
Rise and Fall leaves u confused and bored all the while… Only when you realize the 2 parallel stories are of the same ppl do u understand what all that was about…
Stranger in the night was pretty decent..
The worst of the lot was High on the Highway… it shud have been 0/5…
Sex on the beach seems to be a deleted story 4m Darnaa Zaroori hai…
Lovedale was pretty cold… kinda boring…
Overall i liked 7/10 stories…
that means a 3.5/10…
Can be generous enuf and make it 4/10 for the concept of clubbing 10 short stories in 1 film…
Kudos to the producers… This has come as a gr8 relief 4m the disasters in the Box Office… (who are the self proclaimed Box office blockbusters)…
Go watch it… n don’t go by any1’s reviews…

I just saw the movie, and I really appreciate the comments here above. However, why is no one talking about “Sex on the Beach”?? It was SO stupid! It should have just been nine stories. God, that was the worst 10 minutes I’ve ever spent in a movie theater.

I thought “Matrimony” was awesome. Zahir was great too, and I really did cry during “Gubbare”. A good film, but I wish there was some kind of red thread running through it to tie the stories together.

Puranmasi is a story of unconditional love of a daughter toward her mother…not
the other way around as your team suggests!

And Lovedale is one of the best most sensitive, higher mind stories. Suggest
you all watch the film again in a broader intelligence mindframe!
Great movie overall. Great narrative and styling too.

I think all the stories definitely had a qualitative quality about them.
Excellent direction in all and performances wise all are merit worthy.
Definitely a must see in terms of freshness of concept and innovation in Indian
cinema.

Thank God!

For sometime I’ve been thinking that Indian cinema is in the hands of
filmmakers and audiences whom have either lost their senses or parked them in
the toilet!

But after seeing Dus Kahaniyaan I’ve heaved a sigh of relief ……!
It proves that stories can be narrated with a heightened sense of style, having
Indian
Sensibilities
With punch, pace, yet not compromising on values, love and ethics or
intelligence.
Remarkably refreshing, entertaining, and intelligently satisfying ten tales!
Keep it up Bollywood. Hold on to your Buddhi……don’t make buddhu cinema
only!

Overall rating of this film Dus Kahaniyaan for innovation….5 stars.
Performances…. 4 stars.
Styling and packaging….5 stars
A must watch surely, very hollywood style film , showing us that there are many kinds of relationships and different kinds of love, the self sacrificing as well as the self serving, that disloyalty too can be factored into a relationship with the right amount of intelligence1

Matrimony’s punchline was that Arbaaz’s character was no putz. He knew of his wife’s infidility but never showed that he knew. He smartly let Mandira know that he also could do as she did by giving her necklace to his lover…. his secretary! Very smart, non voilent, and subtle ego-bashing between husband and wife.

Neha Dhupia’s story was especially brave and original. A very rare woman, to save an unknown childs life, appeals in body launguage to the baser instincts of a marauding fanatic killer, giving the child precious moments to escape alive !!Her husband is rightfully ashamed at his own self serving sexapades!

THE NANA PATEKAR KISSING SCENE ROCKS !!

Very Good – that’s my rating as a whole.

I would rate the stories as under (the following are categorised according to the story content, again my personal view only …) :

To look out for :
4 – Strangers in the night
5 – Zahir
6 – Lovedale
8 – Rice Plate

Of these, ‘Rice Plate’ was my personal favorite, given that its directorial debut of Rohit Roy. The
acting and the theme was phenomenol.

I would have probably put ‘Gubbare’ in the same league, but unfortunately, one senses the twist
before it arrives.

Good :
3 – Poornamashi
9 – Gubbare

Herein comes my moment of the movie – the kissing scene involving Nana Patekar. You can almost
feel the tear trickling down your eye.

Average :
None

Bad :
1 – Matrimony (theme not clear)
2 – High on the highway (the only story
that has been dragged unnecessarily)
7 – Sex on the beach (again disappoints
you with the climax)
10 – Rise and Fall (briliant technically,
but the story a fuss)

Overall, the editing and background music are the highlights of the movie, with brilliant acting by everyone – ranging from the newcomer Neha Uberoi (in Lovedale) to the indispensable part of Sanjay Gupta – Sanjay Dutt.

The best venture from one of my favorite directors – Sanjay Gupta. A must watch, but only if you think you like the different !!
