4.5/5
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran headline Daayra, a gripping thriller that explores justice, morality, and the grey areas of the law. There is no limit to the number of times I would like to watch this motion picture. Go to Full Review Sukanya Verma Rediff.com 11 hrs ago
3/5
Its unresolved, noncommittal conclusion is exactly the sort of anticlimactic reality Daayra wants to bring our attention to. Go to Full Review Rohan Naahar The Federal 12 hrs ago
A morality tale with no moral compass of its own, Daayra is built on a premise so fundamentally flawed that it’s never able to recover. Go to Full Review Titas Chowdhury CNN-News 18 16 hrs ago
3/5
For the most part, Daayra manages to turn its gaze towards the uneasy line between revenge and justice while also examining media trials. Go to Full Review Arfa Javaid ABP News 23 hrs ago
2/5
For all its dark, socially charged premise, Daayra never quite manages to pull you into its world. The characters stay at arm’s length, and the narrative frequently slips into confusion rather than tension. Go to Full Review Devesh Sharma Filmfare 23 hrs ago
4.5/5
It is a hard-hitting, earthy crime drama that understands that the most disturbing part of a terrible crime may not be the crime itself, but what society chooses to do in its aftermath. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
