    Just to get TRP and media coverage this movie has been made

    Full of rubbish, no sence at all, if you have tried to create a documentory on the facts and shown both sides clearly and how indian judiciary system working, then it may make sense... But this is totally useless no point to watch this movie

    Just like media trail movie is made on the mindset to defame Hindi sant.. totally cenimatic no were it shows it based on true events..

    I was expecting so much from Manoj watchpai ..no sence... No emotions.. no value west of money.

    It's not a true story entire movie is one sided ... What you want prove is not clear.. no story line... No motive... Even TV serials are better to watch .. what a west of time...

    Minimum if the director has done some research at ground level should have taken the feedback different sources and shown them on the movie... It was just like watch midia trail .. Big shame

    Please go and watch 'the flip side' on YouTube Most of the things were covered in the above link if you have shown the other side of story it make sense ...

    Trash Film

    Please, please stop marketing the film as if it had a world premiere at the prestigious New York Film Festival, the A list film festival in NYC. You guys sold us the ticket at a third party site in the name of the NYFF and when we went to the screening, found out that it's some C grade Indian version of film festival, which is called New York Indian Film Festival NYIFF. Lol, I do understand when you make a disaster film you gotta try all these tactics to bring people to watch such flop shows, that's what Bollywood is good at. But please return my time and money coz Ek BANDA IS NOT KAAFI FOR ME.

    Ignore the cowardice justified reviews from the makers

    First of all makers of this film lied that this film had a world premiere at the prestigious New York Film Festival at the Lincoln Center, check Wion news if I'm giving wrong information. The film had actual premiere at the C grade New York Indian Film Festival. Chalo vo bhi thik hai, now let's come to the film. Which case you're trying to show in the film? Why can't you name it? Because you wanted to tamper with facts and present suitable account of the case that you have no guts to name, otherwise you know so well you will be sued in court. By the another side. What a waste, feel sorry for Manoj.

    Manoj Baypayee has surpassed every other actor. Mind boggling movie

    Every nuance captured so flawlessly that it amazes me how someone can criticize it. Brilliant depiction and court room drama. Manoj Bajpayee acted immaculately all throughout the movie but the most amazing thing that was captured was his shaky confidence and trembling infront of bigger lawyers. The real lawyer PC Solanki fought against the likes of Ram Jethmalani, Salman Khurshid and Subramanian Swamy. It is very intimating for a lawyer to argue against such renowned lawyers irrepective of the district court or Supreme court and Manoj Bajpayee captured both the Starstruck and Trembling infront of such eminent lawyers so perfectly that is exceptionally standsout. Great work by the Director to keep to the required details, everything is super dynamic and it will be hard to take your eyes off the screen esp during court room scenes.

    The performances of Bajpayee and Gourav were excellent

    The Film has received mixed reviews from critics. Some have praised the performances of Bajpayee and Gourav, as well as the film's suspenseful plot. Others have criticized the film's shallow and misguided portrayal of Sanatan Dharma.

    I give Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai a rating of 10 out of 10. I thought the film was well-made and suspenseful, and I was impressed by the performances of Bajpayee and Gourav. I also appreciated the film's exploration of the themes of faith and spirituality.

    Here are some of the things I liked about the film:

    The performances of Bajpayee and Gourav were excellent. Bajpayee is always a reliable actor, and he gives a nuanced and complex performance as the former army officer. Gourav is a rising star, and he gives a breakout performance as the young man who is drawn into the investigation.

    The film's suspenseful plot kept me on the edge of my seat. The twists and turns were well-crafted, and I was never able to predict what was going to happen next.

    The film's exploration of the themes of faith and spirituality was thought-provoking. The film does not shy away from the challenges that faith can face, but it also shows the power of faith to help people through difficult times.

    Here are some of the things I didn't like about the film:

    The film's production values are underwhelming. The cinematography, set design, and visual effects are mediocre.

    Overall, I thought Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai was a well-made and suspenseful film with strong performances from Bajpayee and Gourav. However, I was disappointed by the film's shallow and misguided portrayal of Sanatan Dharma.
