2 of 3 people found this review helpful But the film fails mainly because it does not give attention to details. Sarah wraps the bomb around her waist. While 20 people die in the blast, Sarah's face remains intact and perfect.
Besides, why do the police not investigate Sarah's family and her associates, after they believe her to be involved in a terrorist act? newThey stop their investigations after her husband is declared innocent.

4 of 6 people found this review helpful The first half sets the stage for a stunning second part. The direction, along with the script is the main protagonist of this flick. Likewise, the film also comes with its set of drawbacks. A few events come as a surprise with a lack of introspection.

1 of 1 people found this review helpful In "Dhokha", writer Mahesh Bhatt brings the savagely rampant cult of terrorism into the precincts of the middleclass household. The portrait of a derelict soul looking for his lost domestic utopia in the rubble of a nasty bomb explosion, is stark real, dark and poignant.

Dhokha is one of the finest films to come from the Bhatt family off late and probably the best film of the three releases this week. However, keep in mind this is somber cinema and if you expect popcorn entertainment, then you are in for quite a Dhokha .But for people who like to keep away from loud acting and Cinderella stories, this one fits the bill perfectly.

Dhokha has a message and conveys it in the simplest of ways. Tulip Joshi is confined to the "past" and makes special appearances in Muzamil's memories. Still she makes an impact with unspoken lines. Muzamil has given a good shot for a newcomer. A thought-provoking movie in these times torn by terrorism.

The second-half perks up and addresses issues on nationalism. You miss the vital emotional layer though (wife Tulip Joshi is either seen in a framed photo or in a bath-tub)...

Will their story ever be told? And is it really possible that the leader of a fanatic fundamentalist group, as this obviously is, would so easily reveal himself, that too to a cop? It is surprising that a writer of Mahesh Bhatt's calibre ,who gave us the hard hitting and yet touching 'Zakhm', should have written such an unconvincing plot.

Newcomer Muzammil Ibrahim stars as a young Muslim police officer who learns that his cute-as-a-cupcake wife Tulip Joshi may have been a suicide bomber responsible for the death of many innocent people.

The icing on this half baked enterprise though is Muzammil Ibrahim. This debutant actor is easy on the eye – which is but natural given that he is one of the top models in the country. But Muzammil also has a good screen presence and can efficiently hold on to a few expressions...
