A delectably mounted, dramatically inert black comedy has lots of atmosphere and little else

This is a tough story to pull off and despite the voluminous talent on display here - the film stumbles and fumbles.

Boring isn't a word you'd normally associate with a Vishal Bhardwaj film, but Saat Khoon Maaf seriously tests your patience

The movie is clearly crafted around strong, effective scenes alone: a lot of it, cleanly cut and clinical, a whole lot immediately compelling

Plays out like a rather flat serial-killer thriller...Perhaps it’s doubly disappointing because it comes from Bhardwaj

A bloated film that plods sluggishly along, a film that doesn't connect either emotionally or sensually

The 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

Where the film could have been deliciously dark, mad and off the rails, it ends up being just a disappointing above average weekend watch

Moody, atmospheric, marked by tremendous performances, and yet somehow the parts don't make the whole
