Director Afzal Khan has done a competent job by incorporating a lot of Bollywoodish flavours. Though, his storytelling is quite monotonous. Cinematography is flawless but something that has been already witnessed on the silverscreen.
The biggest flaw of Mehbooba is its length. The movie just goes on and on and on..for almost three long hours making it unbearable after a point.
The music composed by Ismail Darbar isn’t great either and none of the songs get on the lips.
Actingwise, Manisha Koirala sheerly proves that she is talented but has lost out on the looks. She is not a babe anymore and turns out to be factory of tire. Ajay Devgan is alright. Sanjay Dutt is good.
On the whole, Mehbooba is meant for the family audience who are longing to watch a drama on the silverscreen. ‘Old Wine in an old bottle’ to be specific..
Radiosargam Movie Rating: 5/10
