Mausam is a film where almost as much goes wrong as right
Read moreThe problem with 'Mausam' is that it's shrouded in a cloak of self-importance; everyone from the actors to the writer-director appears to be taking himself too seriously, as if determined to deliver nothing short of an epic
Read moreThis story of star-crossed lovers is meant to unfold like some epic romance but collapses under the weight of its own high ambition
Read moreSetting out with a script with better drama, leave aside a plot, could’ve helped its scale more
Read moreMausam starts like a dewy-fresh spring morning, where everything is familiar yet new. It then wilts, autumnal overtones taking over. And then never quite recovers, falling into a dreary never-ending winter.
Read moreWhile there is little doubt that Mausam is an honest effort to make a beautiful, even epic film, it is way off the mark, missing layers, and struggles to stay afloat
Read moreSome movies are timeless, this one lasts forever
Read moreThe old-world charm of Mausam is likeable, but doesn't salvage it. In the end, the only thing epic about the film is its unwarranted length
Read moreAs manipulative masala tearjerkers go, it's a film that tries relatively earnestly and certainly one that occasionally looks striking, but disappoints overall.
Read moreA series of unfortunate, preposterous events
Read moreEvery scene is beautifully shot, the romance is meant to grow on you with its artful glances and coy exchanges. But instead of a slow burn, it's just plain exhaustion
Read moreWriter-director Kapur orchestrates the emotional ups and downs of his tale with a commendable degree of moderation for the most part. Mausam is certainly worth a viewing
Read moreMausam has lots to offer to the viewer who doesn't mind his cinema languorous, laid back and moody, with loads of beauty
Read moreA colossal disappointment
