Blackout (II) (2024) User Reviews

Blackout will bring brightness of comedy

[katariyayogesh-86905 · 8/10 · 10 June 2024]

Movie is a all rounder It has a slow starting Movie has a different side till 1st half and movie switches itself in second half.

Comedy is very well written and performed.

Performances were top notch.

Mouni Roy's role seems not of use Sunil Grover steals the show.

Vikrant Massey has done fabulous job.

In the starting, We can't guess what's going to happen.

In last 30 40 minutes, there are so many twists and turns that you will be amazed.

Jaw-dropping ending.

Well written & well performed comedy thriller. Not like typical cringe movie which Bollywood is into nowadays.

Suspence is maintained till the end.

A good watch with friends and family.

A Chaotic Night With Flickering Potential

[SonGoku540 · 6/10 · 15 June 2024]

Blackout (2024) plunges viewers into a single, blackout-stricken night in Pune, India. Crime reporter Lenny D'Souza (Vikrant Massey) finds himself at the center of the chaos after a car accident leads him to a van full of dead men and cash. The ensuing events involve a motley crew of characters, including a hilarious alcoholic (Sunil Grover), dimwitted thieves (Karan Sonaware & Saurabh Ghadge), and a damsel-in-distress (Mouni Roy).

Vikrant Massey shines as the harried Lenny, perfectly capturing his desperation and growing paranoia. Sunil Grover steals the show with his delightfully unhinged portrayal of Bewdya, offering genuine laugh-out-loud moments. The blackout creates a tense atmosphere, and the initial car crash sparks curiosity about the hidden secrets within the van.

The film tries to juggle too many characters and subplots, leading to a messy narrative that loses focus. The introduction of new characters in the second half feels forced, and some plot twists are predictable. Blackout attempts to be a dark comedy, but the humor lands inconsistently. The attempts at emotional drama also feel out of place. The camerawork and editing are serviceable but don't particularly stand out.

Blackout has its moments, thanks to the strong performances of Massey and Grover. However, the uneven screenplay and tonal inconsistencies prevent it from reaching its full potential. If you're looking for a fast-paced, light-hearted comedy, this might not be the best choice. But if you're curious about a film that takes a wild ride through a blackout night, it might be worth a watch with lowered expectations.

One Time Watch

[rahulkadamiphone · 6/10 · 9 June 2024]

One time watch for sure , Movie becomes boring after first halt, Sunil Grovers character feels weak , Mouni Roy was just there for eye candy , could have done much better with this story , Vikrant Messy delivered promising performance. They lost the fun theme in middle of movie and after that it was some flat boring predictable storyline. Unnecessary characters and unnecessary songs and emotional drama. Feels like certainly not touching and convincing enough. Good end though. Some good punches in the first half , good laughter at initial many points but ran flat after that. Overall a one time watch movie.

[avishekdut-37127 · 10/10 · 9 June 2024]

Excellent dark comedy with solid one liners, powerhouse perfomance by vikrant messy, sunil grover and the two guy thik thak. First to end I can't stop laughing to watching this. It should release in theatre surely it will be hit. I don't know some idiot film critic unnessary criticising it.

Now come to story part in pune city some high profile thieves completely blackout the whole city to robbed a hifi jewllery shop, in meantime some people one crime reporter, two sicial media influencer, one drunker and other two people clash with each people. If you want know more about this you have checkout jio cinema to experience it. Fantastic direction, edge of the seat screenplay really enjoy it.

Blackout more like a plunge into nothing.

[Mithil_Singal · 4/10 · 12 June 2024]

Honestly, this movie felt lackluster. The acting seemed exaggerated, and the storyline was all over the place. It revolves around a guy's unfortunate night, attempting humor but falling short. With Vikrant Massey and Sunil Grover leading, the dynamic didn't quite hit the mark for my taste in comedy. Mouni Roy's inclusion felt unnecessary, as did most of the side characters. The plot lacked direction and excitement, despite its attempts at mystery drama. The only captivating aspect was the revealing inside the box, which unfortunately was predictable. Overall, it left me questioning its purpose.

Intruging

[rockboyrich · 10/10 · 19 June 2024]

I enjoyed watching blackout alot i laughed I hope they would be a second part with a twist Also roy character was short but had an impact vikrant is funny show stealer is mr grover i just loved him,and i believe the makers have read reviews from other sources i would love to see something more than what we just watched women should get more screen presence ,like mouni she appeared late as if she was not the heroine ,i love hindi films alot and am always expecting to see men and women given priotity the same ,all in all blackout is something fresh silly dialogue ,fun ride ,funny ,engaging very good.

After Hours of 21 century

[rajatbawa-71856 · 9/10 · 11 June 2024]

Overall, Blackout is engaging, uproarious, and a chaotic misadventure. It's silly and full of madness, even though the first half is mostly spent introducing characters. But the movie is aware of this, as there's also dialogue. The emotional drama and a fight sequence followed by that slows down the narrative for some time. The performances and jokes only make the adventure more enjoyable. Vikrant Massey's movie ends on a cliffhanger, so let's hope there's more to this frenzy. Blackout does push the limits in how shamelessly foolish it strives to be. That's seldom enough, though, at a time where screwball comedies count on the viewer's perception of reality. Blackout could have been sharp and entertaining had it constantly called itself out. But it remains surprisingly hollow and, at times, dull despite the visual restlessness. The chuckles-to-runtime ratio is poor.

BLACKOUT:-two contrasting halves!

[puranjanbasak · 8/10 · 19 June 2024]

Blackout is a comedy thriller film directed by devang bhavsar.

The film started on a good note. Seeing vikrant massey in an animated character was not on my cards in big 2024, but he acted really well. That is the good thing about great actors, they can pull off diverse roles. The film gets a boost once sunil grover enters, and good lord he gobbles up with his screen presence. He outshadowed massey in various sequences. The black comedy, dispersed throughout guides the film. The lines given to karan sonawane and saurabh gadge are hilarious. They always come up with some crackers in between conversations. Mouni roy really needs to work on her acting. Ruhani sharma, anant joshi, jisshu sengupta and other fringe characters were decent.

The second half literally wanders around to hundred directions. Anything and everything was happening in the second half. Twists after twists were coming but only one or two worked. How will the rest work without some good breathing space between scenes. After a point, the scenes looked reverse engineered. It didn't happen because of logic, but because of convenience. The screenplay, was losing steam because of this and suffers.

The background score is great, I would say. The suspense and adrenaline is pumped up by the score. Some old songs are used with some wacky humour. I like that the film knows what it's doing and breaks the clatter sometimes. Because, in some scenes the chaos was overpowering the storytelling. The humour felt off to me in various scenes. The dialogues were not up to the mark. The scenes where massey imagines diamonds and jewels falling from the sky is brilliant. The editing style of the film is also pretty good.

I wish the second half didn't throw so many curveballs in my direction. I would have loved it more.

Rarest piece of dark comedy

[charunawab · 10/10 · 9 June 2024]

Total gem of a piece, combination of thrill, suspense, action, comedy and a lil bit of romance.

What a surprise element thrown by Sunil Grover. He single handedly kept the movie on his shoulder and stole the show. He is what we call an artist.

It is trendsetter.

This is what we call a good plot set up by Devang Bhavsar.

Fabulous performance by Vikrant Massey & Mouni Roy.

I have noticed Jisshu sengupta in lantarani, since then I were waiting his next blockbuster performance.

Thank you @officialjiocinema for Blackout.

These kind of creation needs to be promoted globally. They should reach to every cinemy lover.

From Lootcase to Lost case

[adibids · 3/10 · 19 June 2024]

Overdose Of Poor & Over the top acting. The Benchmark was set by Kareena Kapoor in Main prem Ki Deewani Hoon, but Vikrant Massey & Mouni Roy really came close for BLACKOUT. The concept was brilliant but the execution felt flat & it was predictable to the core. One night adventures are becoming the flavor of OTT's post the success of Lootcase but Lootcase was genuinely funny & Kunal Khemu has an exceptional comic timing which unfortunately Vikrant Massey lacks completely, so no love lost & being a non nepo kid, I wish Vikrant massey continues to shine in intense & emotional roles. Not at all typecasting him but he genuinely doesn't have a comical presence. Rest of the cast was average at its best barring Mr Joshi Sengupta who shines in a short cameo & one word to Mr Sunil Grover, how much lower you will stoop down in choosing your roles, we all have witnessed your absolute vulgar & cheap acts on the Netflix Kapil sharma show, you were considered the best part of the show for your portrayal of gutthi, Rinku Devi or Dr Gulati & we were so thrilled at your comeback but what we witnessed was absolute carnage.

So not deviating from the topic, here are some honorable mentions if you want to enjoy Bollywood's one night adventure movies - Ek chalis Ki Last Local, Barah Aana, Sankat City, Mithya, Stoneman Murders, Trapped, Johnny Gaddar, Ugly.

Most Interesting and fabulous movie

[nayaksachin-15401 · 10/10 · 15 June 2024]

Blackout review: The crime caper starts on a promising note but it all goes downhill in the second half of the film. Sadly, nothing works in the film's favour. Blackout review: The film is a half-baked attempt that fails to make a mark.7 days ago. Blackout spans a single night when the streets of Pune are engulfed in darkness due to a blackout in the city. A crime reporter, Lenny D'Souza (Vikrant Massey), is out on the road when his car rams into a van full of cash, gold and dead men. Lenny has a series of bizzare encounters with a homeless alcoholic, Bewdya (Sunil Grover), two thieves Thik and Thak (Karan Sonaware, Saurabh Ghadge) who are big on Instagram followers but low on IQ and a damsel-in-distress Shruti Mehra (Mouni Roy). How Lenny navigates this eventful night would've been engaging, if only the story made any sense.
