“Believe me, I am a Neeraj Pandey fan. I was mesmerized while watching Baby. Even the background score is still there in my mind. I think that was the best of Neeraj. He had given superb as well as good films, too. But, this is also absolutely true that Aiyaary is his worst film ever.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is very very very slow. Even it is not understandable. The flow and touch of Pandey is missing. I also feel that Manoj could have done it better. But, what can an actor do when he has nothing to perform! It is a harsh truth, but, this film has no element of film in it. That means, no entertainment, no drama, no thrills, no stunts, no grip, u0026amp; even just a single song… Which was okay. I am hugely disappointed. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo actors have done superb, except Naseeruddin Shah. He is superb in his tiny role. I like Rakul Preet. Thank God, she was there, as my time passed by just watching her. I like just a single dialogue – u0026#39;Aap humari aanewali naslon ko kya degne!u0026#39; u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI know, I canu0026#39;t rate any movie like this. I always look good in everything. But, this film is a disaster. The climax, on which the story is based on, is like u0026#39;what! Really?u0026#39; u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is not like a Neeraj Pandey film at all. I also think the film is not being edited at all! Save yourself, or jump in a dry well! This rating is only for their hard work and Naseer u0026amp; Rakulu0026#39;s presence.”
