5 of 7 people found this review helpful '8 x 10 Tasveer' is all about a faultless thriller that should get you hooked for a couple of hours.

1 of 7 people found this review helpful The concept / idea is great, but the script and the direction by Nagesh Kukunoor make Tasveer an extremely painful watch.

2 of 7 people found this review helpful What takes the movie forward is really the story, which is the film's strength. Kuknoor tells his story very well too but he resorts to certain cliches, which helps only in undoing all the good work that he has done in the beginning of the movie.

12 of 14 people found this review helpful 8 x 10 Tasveer is a brilliantly made film. From the script to the direction, Nagesh Kukunoor has done every job with perfect precision.

2 of 7 people found this review helpful Akshay Kumar is shattered by an incident, which takes place when he is perhaps eight years old. Deeply traumatized he absorbs the power of venturing into a photograph to understand what could have transpired, thus helping many who come to him for help when the police have failed...

1 of 7 people found this review helpful In 8x10 Tasveer, there's no adrenaline rush to be had for the viewers. Rather it's the story's protagonist Jai (Akshay Kumar) , who needs to stab himself with a syringe of adrenaline every time he 'returns' from his mental trips during which he peeks into people?s past through their photographs.

1 of 7 people found this review helpful 8 x 10 Tasveer is neither thrilling nor imaginative, and apart from the lush photography, it's an exercise in futility.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful The film begins well. Though slow paced you understand it is intentional and go along the flow. The premise of the film and the setting keeps getting really interesting and also some superbly shot sequences keep you on the edge.

The film opens with a few breath-taking frames meant to capture the machismo of Akshay, the action hero, as he runs through a forest, jumps off a cliff, lands in water, stays under it for four minutes and then emerges with an incriminating bit of evidence: a bear trap.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful Akshay Kumar plays Jai in an exclusively NRI world, the comfy creation of films alone. His father is dead. A crack-pot detective (Javed Jaffery; adorable) is convinced the death was murder. The said son incidentally couldn't stand his father, though it isn't clear why.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful Since the film is a suspense thriller, it requires disclosing the identity of the killer at the end or in the ending reels. As far as the identity of the murderer is concerned, yes, it appears shocking but what compels the murderer to kill the people one after one is unbelievable.

2 of 4 people found this review helpful This whodunit flick will leave your jaw dropping at the end when the murderer is revealed, but not because it is shocking but more because at how ridiculous it is.

1 of 4 people found this review helpful Kumar tries his best to look serious and understated, doing his best to speak English through half the film (this is the contemporary Dharmendra?s Shalimar moment) but it's no go.
