This movie will hold you with manoj bajpayee and neena gupta only, and can better be done with sakshi tanwar as well. Initially it looks impressive to watch but later on it got flat and predictable. Just a one time watch.

Slow and steady

For such slow movies thrilling moments are needed to awe the audience.
It has failed to awe us despite the good acting and cinematography.
I would say Director failed the movie.
You will feel sleepy while watching this.
Zee5 have failed to use Manoj Vajpayee this time.

Slow thriller

Just saw this movie today, I was really excited to see this cause of only Manoj sir but overall this movie is an alright thriller. It's missing certain characters development. Manoj sir did an awesome job the other cast did and alright job. The only thing that was exciting was the 15 minutes at the end, other then that, it's a basic story that you can understanding easily and easily figure out the villains and why they are doing this. The kid playing the character Dhruv, definitely needs to work more on his acting.
I have seen all Rensils' movies especially one of my fav Kurbaan, I was expecting more from this movie but that's alright.
This is definitely a one time watch, so enjoy it with your family!

The makers have made this movie in a simple straight and steady manner
The story is nothing new of revenge but it is executed nicely and the actors have played their roles in a required format specially neenaji and Manojji is nothing less
The movie is going in a steady motion from where the call starts and ended in a good climax..the climax is very well executed and justified it gives a shine to the entire movie
Not to miss a good movie to watch this weekend.

Disheartening

Manoj and other two leads wasted.

Sheer wastage of time.. Not worth a watch
mpriya-186007 August 2021
Pathetic direction to say the least.. Absolute wastage of an actor like Manoj Bajpai and Sakshi Tanwar in such a movie. Storyline was ok, but the screenplay was like hell. I am sure director Rensil D'Silva did not know what he was doing. It's high time Bollywood starts taking some direction & acting lessons from South Indian movies, even the newest of new actors and directors are doing a splendid job there. There were a lot of scenes and dialogues in the movie which made no sense whatsoever and was full of flaws. Literally angry to have wasted my Saturday morning on this movie.
Very weak plot

A Reality
ummaysaidapasa7 August 2021
If anyone wants a super thrilling movie then this is not for them.. But if anyone is upto watch anything which is real, which we may relate with the recent world then it is for them. There is some emotions in the movie which any person can relate whoever didn't get justice in their life.. It's no sugar coating story with a moral that what is happening with other people today, might happen with us one day, and so everybody should take a stand against the wrong.
predictable and bad direction

Powerful performance

Can watch.
dsgill-026527 August 2021
Manoj Bajpayee carries the film on his shoulders. Everyone else plays along. Can watch or avoid, it's average stuff given the expectations from Manoj. The ending however makes you sit up and give more stars than you would have given.
UNSURPRISING .!! 🙄
guddunair9 August 2021
Starting 15-20 Minutes' are enough to guess the storyline of this film.!! Casting was good but Bhai jab story mai dum nhi to actors bhi kya kr saktey hai !! 1* for Manoj Bajpai and another * for Supporting actors.!! Overall I would not recommend this but if u have spare time of 1 hour, and you don't have anything else to watch then surely give it a try.!!
Good plot, but very predictable

Enthralling Performances With Clever Gripping Story That Will Keep You Engaged
ketgup837 August 2021
How far would you go to save your loved ones for your wrong deeds ? Premiered on Zee5, the Manoj Bajpayee, Neena Gupta and Sakshi Tanwar starrer Dial 100 has enough moments to keep you engrossed.
Dial 100 tells the story of random call received by Senior Police Inspector Nikhil Sood (Manoj Bajpayee) from Seema (Neena Gupta). Once into the call, the conversation between Nikhil and Seema turns interesting as she is on the verge of killing Nikhil's two most beloved person in the world - his wife Prerna (Sakshi Tanwar) and their 18-year-old son, Dhruv (Svar Kamble)
Directed by Rensil D's Silva (earlier made Kurbaan and Ungli), the plot of Dial 100 happens only for one night in which the protagonist races against time to save his family. The movie opens on a promising note when an unknown caller shocks a seasoned police officer with a devastating message. As the cat and mouse game begin between Nikhil and Seema, the thriller becomes edgy and will keep you engaged. However, with the onset of the climax, the movie falls flat. I did not understand why Nikhil had to become a one man-army and perform all the activities by himself even though he was surrounded by so many police men who could have helped him rescue his wife and kid. Also, the steam with which film gathers the space is lost out in the second half.
Luckily, Dial 100 does not have any songs which interrupts the flow of the movie nor is there any time wasted on unnecessary scenes which diverts the track of the film. Thanks to the editing and interesting premise coupled with amazing cinematography, Dial 100 falls in line with the expectation.
Performances by the star cast is the silver lining of the film - Manoj Bajpayee plays both the role of a cop and a helpless father with utmost sincerity. Sakshi Tanwar is another gem of actor who continue to throw surprise with her natural ability to perform. Even though , Neena Gupta's character has not been sketch properly, the talented actress embarks yet another convincing performance.
Overall, Dial 100 is a 90-minute escape that manages to keep you engaged thanks to the wonderful performances by Manoj Bajpayee, Neena Gupta and Sakshi Tanwar.

Emotional thriller
ghayvat6 August 2021
While watching this movie you will find hard to choose sides between victim and guilty. Both are right and wrong. This storyline is not the typical thriller where you wait for climax but it takes you an advance genre where you find thrill emotion and message. It became exceptional with the casting Manoj n Neena.
The Best Thing In This Film Was Acting
saad-347816 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I am giving 7 stars only because of acting of all lead actors, it was superb 👌🏻. The story plot was to slow. Only one scene which gave me some shock was when seema palav's husband was introduced. Otherwise its a one time movie.
NO THRILLER, Manoj Bajpayee Disappoints This Time !!!
cs_rahul_prasad6 August 2021
'Dial 100' unfolds on a rainy night with Senior Police Officer Nikhil Sood beginning his shift in the Mumbai Police Emergency Control Room, just like any other day. Soon after, we learn that his personal life is in shambles as a result of his wife Prerna's (Sakshi Tanwar) troubled relationship with their teenage son Dhruv (Svar Kamble). While juggling with his wife's constant phone calls, Nikhil ends up taking a distress call from a hysterical woman who wants to end her life owing to a personal tragedy. When the anonymous caller gets a little too personal, Nikhil realises he has to race against the clock to keep the world from learning about a dark secret that could put his loved ones' lives in jeopardy.
Manoj Bajpayee adds depth to his character of a middle-class guy who has failed both as a husband and a father. However, as a cop, he is smart and quick to act in order to save his family. Playing a cop and dealing with high-pressure situations is nothing new for Bajpayee or the viewers; we've seen him shine in roles like this before in 'The Family Man' and 'Silence...Can you Hear It?'
Neena Gupta gives you the shivers right away as the unpredictable Seema Pallav, while also emotionally involving you with her character of a grieving mother seeking vengeance for the untimely death of her son. Gupta excels in her role, but once her motive is revealed, she maintains a poker face throughout. Sakshi Tanwar has limited screen time but she steals the show, especially in the scene where she breaks down. Overall, character development is in place, and you'll want to stick around with them the whole time.
Overall, the thrills begin once we witness Seema Pallav (Neena Gupta) in action and Nikhil Sood in a catch 22 situation, which ends quickly once the layers begin to unfold. The film's editor, Asif Ali Shaikh, cuts the running time to under two hours, lending credence to the story's of what happened on one fatal night.
All said, Rensil D'Silva delivers a revenge narrative that mainly relies on performances rather than a promising premise. So, if you are looking for some riveting performances, the trio of Manoj Bajpayee, Neena Gupta, and Sakshi Tanwar is worth your time.

A decent movie
aastikhimta9 September 2021
Idk about other but I felt this was a decent movie . The plot was fine . Apart from that it was an average movie you can go for . Manoj did a fine performance as usual. Overall the movie was fine. Ending was okay though.
One of the Best of Manoj Bajpayee

Waste of time
bhupinder_sidhu9 August 2021
I was expecting some high speed suspense drama but this movie failed to fulfill my expectations. The plot is total disaster & direction is poor , only acting of Neena Gupta & Manoj Bajpayee save it some extent. You can easily guess in the beginning what is going to happen , totally disappointed by this movie.
