Mumbai: Irrfan Khan starrer "Blackmail" is getting rave reviews from industry stalwarts such as Shabana Azmi and Amitabh Bachchan.
At
a special screening of the film, celebrities like Shabana Azmi,
director David Dhawan, Omung Kumar, Vineet Kumar Singh, Sharad Kelkar,
Swanand Kirkire were present last evening.
"'Blackmail' is a mad
predictable script directed with such relish by Abhinay Deo, performed
with unrestrained delight by a super ensemble cast led by Irrfan,
Arunoday Singh and Divya Dutta," Azmi said after the screening.
Lyricist and writer Swanand Kirkire called "Blackmail" as a "Waakda" film, which should not be missed.
Filmmaker
Omung Kumar found the film incredibly funny, witty, quirky and he
enjoyed watching it so much that he did not want the movie to end.
"It's
fantastic, I wanted to see all the stupid things that are in the film
and I was guessing who is going to die next. The writing, the direction,
the cast is believable. Irrfan is obviously fantastic but everyone put
together is fabulous," Kumar said.
Earlier even industry veterans like Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor amongst others had given rave reviews about the film.
Irrfan,
who is currently undergoing treatment for NeuroEndocrine Tumor, could
not be a part of the promotional activities of the film.
Besides
Irrfan, the film also has Kirti Kulhari, Divya Dutta, Arunoday Singh,
Omi Vaidya in prominent roles. Produced by T-Series' Bhushan Kumar and
RDP Motion Pictures the film directed by Abhinay Deo, will release
tomorrow.
