Levelled Thriller
siddharthjain-607256 August 2021
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
gotumdoke7 August 2021
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
patelma-376226 August 2021
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!

Simple and steady
sameerlodaya6 August 2021
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.

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.

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.

Too short and simple

The story is too short for me. I love the way of the thrill in this movie but i expected more. Besides, the plot twist in this movie also predictable from the first quarter. Overall it's a good movie but no umphhh.

Powerful performance
drkavitha_k7 August 2021
Story is nothing new but it's presented very well, engrossing. Superb performances by the star cast. A stronger script could have been more intriguing.

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.!!

Cop on duty, family in trouble
madanmarwah12 August 2021
It is common for the police officer on duty in the police control room to receive calls about crime, disturbances etc normally from total strangers. But what happens when the desperate complaints come from his own family members who are in deep trouble ?

The writer of this movie has produced an interesting script based on such a situation. Director Rensil D'Silva develops this script into an "edge of the seat" suspense filled thriller keeping the audience hooked during the entire run. The film with cascading events is fast paced no doubt. Inspector Nikhil Sood ( Manoj Bajpayee) on duty in police control room has his peaceful domestic world turned upside down as soon as he receives a call from a desperate lady (Neena Gupta) who has a previous grudge and now has cruel intentions this night. Unpredictable developments unravel at a rapid rate as Manoj faces one tricky situation after another and also finds that his wife Sakshi Tanwar is getting suckled into this murky game of one upman ship. It is a case of desperate situations calling for desperate measures. All this happens during a single night on the streets and in the suburbs of Mumbai. There are many tense moments.

Manoj Bajpayee has excelled himself as the harassed police officer who has to tackle events which have spiralled out of control. Neena Gupta has also performed well. Sakshi Tanwar as the hapless wife torn between husband and son gives an impressive performance.

Good plot, but very predictable
ashishraj-294358 August 2021
The plot of the movie is very good, but the narration is done in very predictable way.

And in spite of having such quality actors like Neena and Manoj, the movie didn't impress very well.

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.

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.

Too much slow
o-f-mukut2 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I didn't like the ending. How a women who have no training fired two shots and killed one?

And how another women let enter unknown person at her home in the middle of the night?

Gripping start, but weak script lets it down !!
sanjubhat12 August 2021
#sanjuzzreviews On a rainy night in Mumbai, a cop at the police control room receives a distress call from a mysterious woman about to commit suicide. However as the conversation between the cop and the caller progresses, we come to know that there is something sinister at play and things are not as they seem to be.

Manoj Bajpai and Neena Gupta give stellar power-packed performances but are let down by a weak scripts that falls apart towards the end despite a gripping start. Alas .. an opportunity wasted.

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.
