Laal Kaptaan Critic Reviews & Ratings
- Times Of India | Review By - Sreeparna Sengupta | Rating-2.5/5
Laal Kaptaan’s effect at best is sporadic – there are moments that may hook you, even shock you, but there are also too many scenes that are just laborious.
- NDTV | Review By - Saibal Chatterjee | Rating-2.5/5
Saif dons elaborate makeup. Despite his fearless flourishes, the film comes out with flying colours all too rarely.
- Indian Express | Review By - Shubhra Gupta | Rating-1.5/5
There are flashes when you feel the film will finally say something important, but then it lapses back into stodgy set-pieces which go on and on.
- The Hindu | Review By - Namrata Joshi | Rating-NA
All the interesting disparate elements in the film don’t come together well enough to build it into a compelling whole.
- Scroll | Review By - Nandini Ramnath | Rating-2.5/5
If Laal Kaptaan doesn’t work as an account of slow-burning vengeance, it doesn’t fall into place as a character study either.
- Mid Day | Review By - Mayank Shekhar | Rating-2/5
And hell, there are way too many scenes to the point that it begins to feel like a stretch, and you merely hope for the movie to get to the point.
- Mumbai Mirror | Review By - Kunal Guha | Rating-2/5
It’s debatable whether this story could be told in a more compelling manner or not. But it’s surely one that didn’t warrant the runtime (155 minutes).
- Hindustan Times | Review By - Jyoti Sharma Bawa | Rating-NA
Saif Ali Khan’s slow-burning period Western beautifully sets up its period and ambition, only to peter off at the most crucial juncture.
- News 18 | Review By - Priyanka Sinha Jha | Rating-2.5/5
As far as Hindi films go, Laal Kaptaan treads a path less trodden, but it meanders and spectacularly loses steam.
- Bollywood Hungama | Review By - BH | Rating-1.5/5
On the whole, LAAL KAPTAAN is bizarre and a poor film that has nothing substantial to offer the audiences in general.
- Gulf News | Review By - Manjusha Radhakrishnan | Rating-2/5
Laal Kaptaan seems to be one of those films that may have sounded brilliant and romantic on paper, but couldn’t translate well on the big screen.
Overall Average Rating - 2.1/5
