1st of all, you have to be a parent to feel the high emotion running through out the movie. It's amazing, how a small movie can make you cry or make you feel proud of being honest.I won't spoil anything, but the name of the movie is a big spoiler. That was really a big let down. I'd appreciate if the director/writers would keep that as a secret & deliver as a shock.The movie started in slow but steady pace. Lead actor & actress looked kinda amateurish, but as movie went on the actor picked up the story & blended amazingly with it. The actress struggled through out the movie. This movie could really use some strong artists in it. Lot of them lacked expressing emotion needed for a powerful movie like this. Ankur's mom's friend was another weak one. Or maybe some of the actors were so good, that other ones looked weaker. They could try to avoid unnecessary songs here & there, but I guess as a Bollywood movie, it couldn't take chance of being too bland back in those days. Since it wasn't murder mystery, it wasn't a suspenseful thriller. But it was more like a crime drama. It was certainly not Bollywood dance masala movie or over the top action movie. I also loved how the lead characters were not pictured like a super human who can kick 10 bad guys' back all by himself or dance like Michael Jackson. It's a must watch for parents to realize that how precious our beloved kids are & we should cherish the moment with them, love them & give them as much time as we can. It's a must watch for crime movie lovers. Must watch for doctors to refresh their memory about how valuable their patients life are to their families & what is their profession is all about. Must watch for drama lovers as well.

"Ankur Arora..." is made on a very different and bold subject and tries to show the loopholes in the system of hospitals. It delves into one of the real cases of surgery in which a patient dies owing to the negligence of a surgeon. It's a pity such a real and thought provoking subjects don't get attention in Hindi movies as the film went unnoticed.The first half of the movie shows the condition of the top hospitals where the hospitals are more business oriented. The film provokes an important issue of treatment for which the film deserves an attention. But the second half quite loses the impact of the film as the investigation shown doesn't leave much of the impact and the climax goes for easy answers. Anyway, in the brunch of meaningless films churned out yearly, this film is pretty remarkable in terms of subject which could have been treated better.Rating: 1 star out of 4

Similar stories have come up, but this strains on medical negligence. The secondary aspects are various forms of crime that are ubiquitous and known. But what is unique here is the topic and the makers have carved it well to touch where it hurts.Cast performance is very good, especially Kay Kay Menon showing absolute genius. Editing & music is a let-down. The underlying relationships actually worked against suspense plot. Dialogs are worn-out. Certain sequences were useless but still the screenplay keeps the viewers hooked, just because we want to know what happens next. It is a very fine thriller based on borrowed factors.BOTTOM LINE: A engaging watch and a must for budding doctors. Recommended! 7.0/10.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?

Just two shows on the first day and less than 10 viewers in the theater for a rare Bollywood film made on the subject of medical malpractice! Why?Because in our country we don't really like to see or talk about the real problems and just wish to enjoy a fantasy world presented along some action, dance and music, featuring our favourite actors. As a result, neither the exhibitors are willing to give any major attention to off- beat projects like these, nor the viewers are interested in WASTING their time on such meaningful, preachy and socially relevant movies quite frankly (Pun intended).So in that scenario, when one clearly knows that it will be tough to get a good number of shows as well audience into the theaters, I would first like to congratulate the producers of ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE, who had the blessed vision to finance such a film for a market which is widely known to stay aloof and discourage this kind of film-making from last few decades.Talking about the film itself, usually I am not supportive to projects which unofficially borrow from some hidden foreign sources heavily. But ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE can be left as an exception since it does raise a very important issue of our Indian society at present, regarding the questionable status of life saver DOCTORS & their Private Hospitals. The whole medical premise of its script and the proceedings of the court with the mention of number 1 being changed to 9 is straight away taken from Sidney Lumet's THE VERDICT starring Paul Newman, which itself is a true masterpiece from the West revealing the ugly commercial aspects of this noble profession.However getting over with the inspired status of the film, AAMC is a decently made flick focusing on an irresponsible mistake by a famous and reputed doctor, who instead of admitting & apologizing, tries to cover up the case with his powerful influence. As the truth comes out, a case is filed on the hospital and the doctor, turning the film into a court room drama in its second half which is both intense and emotional in its execution. Now though it surely could have been much more hard hitting and impressive in its overall portrayal of the issue as expected. Yet it is no doubt a pretty decent and worth praising attempt from the entire team for sure, including many spellbinding performances from the cast led by Kay Kay Menon.In few words, AAMC deserves to be seen both for its crucial issue raised, as well as for its brilliant key performance by Kay Kay as the culprit doctor, Tisca Chopra as the helpless mother and Arjun Mathur as the honest intern together. No one can deny the fact that Kay Kay is one of the most under-rated actors we have at present who truly deserves more good roles and praises both. But here Tisca Chopra shines even brighter in the film as the silent mother witnessing the justice denied by the court with only her tearful eyes looking into the dark. Arjun Mathur makes the best use of the opportunity given in the role of a revolting intern having a 'still alive conscience' and Vishakha supports him well as his colleague. In the court room sequences, Paoli Dam delivers a powerful act playing the lawyer with some great dialogues and Manish Chaudhari, Vishesh Tiwari (The Kid) and Harsh Chhaya perform just fine. The camera captures the tragic emotional sequences in the film beautifully and the Background Score gives it full support in generating the desired impact.Admittedly, it's not a great classic film which would force you to stand up and clap as you might be thinking. It has its own set of flaws, like an unwanted sub-plot of suicide attempt along with the love angle & few songs, as usual. But still it does successfully makes you think about the state we are living in, wherein the established doctors are more worried about their huge hospital running expenses and the intern doctors are more worried about their future careers instead of admitting the mistake they all had made in the operation theater.It makes you fearful, watching the way a reputed doctor performs a minor operation with an absent mind and over confidence leading to some adverse consequences beyond control. And it even forces you to question that have we lost this noble God-like profession too in the current monetary race of our blind society?AAMC also needs to be considered as a trend setting film because we have simply stopped making projects talking about our own social issues quite sadly and moreover the viewers too have stopped showing any kind of interest towards such relevant movies. In fact that is what we have lost in our Hindi Cinema since the 80s and the only film which was made on this issue of 'Medical Malpractices' happened to be NASOOR in the year 1985 almost three decades back. Honestly it was quite surprising to see the film written & presented by the recent 'Horror specialist' Vikram Bhatt and skillfully directed by a not so known director Suhail Tatari. So these two men also deserve their own share of praises for coming up with this thought provoking film in the present commercial times.As a concluding message, we need to grow up and support films like ANKUR ARORA MURDER CASE because it's a universal cause the film has been made for. A medical condition doesn't differentiate between a rich or poor coming from any region or religion and thus the film should be taken as a "Wake Up Call" for every single person reading this review, especially the aspiring doctors and the ones currently practicing the divine profession.
