Saif Ali Khan’s first English film Being Cyrus produced by the Times Infotainment Media that released last week has won tremendous critical acclaim by one and all. This happens to be one film that has received a positive review from every section of the media as well.
And such has been the impact of the film that even someone like the reticent Aamir Khan who craves for perfection had only good words to share about the film. Says Aamir, “Being Cyrus is a wonderful film! The screenplay, the performances, the editing, the music and above all, the director's work, everything was bang on. Joy to watch!"
Director Farhan Akhtar who is currently busy filming his next venture Don in Malaysia also happened to check out this masterpiece and analyzing the film through a filmmaker’s eyes says, “A well crafted screenplay and a director with a unique individual style make it an exciting film to watch. The performances, the cinematography, the witty dialogue and the background score really stand out"
Excerpts from reviews and analysis by Indian media on Being Cyrus.
