Read full reviewA bloated film that plods sluggishly along, a film that doesn't connect either emotionally or sensually
Read full reviewThe subject - a woman slaying her seven husbands - screams out for a visceral romp of rage and revenge but Bhardwaj chooses to justify, reason and melo-dramatise Susanna’s actions
Read full reviewWhere the film could have been deliciously dark, mad and off the rails, it ends up being just a disappointing above average weekend watch
Read full reviewMoody, atmospheric, marked by tremendous performances, and yet somehow the parts don't make the whole
