Arjun and Chitrangada work hard to give Inkaar heft. Both struggle to bring conviction to their characters. But ultimately the film remains a dish half-baked.

This is a half watchable film despite all that melodrama flying around. Sadly, if it had kept its head, this thriller could have gone places.

What could have been an engrossing take on modern-day relationships in a frantic, workaholic culture is single-handedly destroyed by warped publicity and ridiculous conclusions

Inkaar could have been truly radical. But it becomes a film that prefers to cop out, rather than deliver on the promise it held out so bravely in its initial passages

Sudhir Mishra’s new film has promise, but it spirals down on falsities and platitudes

You certainly won't say no to Inkaar. But the yes doesn't come wholeheartedly!

Times of India

This is among Mishra's most perplexing efforts yet. He bravely takes up an unusual subject but seems to chicken out when it comes to giving his story a definite conclusion.

Inkaar’s subject is a fresh thought with sexual harassment, a serious problem in work environments, as its central theme, but falls short in developing and writing the main characters’ roles with the depth required for the same.

What happens to be a potent seed for a crackling story, Inkaar gets mired by the cliches of conventionalism and loses its steam

The film leaves the audience wondering until moments before the climax. And then what happens is a complete letdown.

Polished-looking, its edges - the tension of feeling harassed at work, office politics, ego flashes - hold rather well. But its centre collapses in a soft mess
