Kirk Honeycutt

Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday is a superb and devastating piece of cinema that with justification can be compared favorably to Gillo Pontocorvo's classic "The Battle of Algiers" in its dispassionate yet sweeping journalistic inquiry into cataclysmic social and political events. Read full review

David Chute

The movie would be all crisp surfaces without the internal combustion of Menon, as a man who bears down on familiar procedures in order to avoid being overwhelmed by his emotions. Read full review

Matt Zoller Seitz

Epic and raw, Black Friday is cut from the same bloody cloth as "Salvador" and "Munich." Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Opening with the Mohandas Gandhi epigram "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind," it humanizes the bombers without excusing their actions. Read full review

Derek Elley

Despite its large cast and complex criss-crossing from past to present, the movie rarely catches fire as an involving human drama. Read full review

Amazing direction. Hats of the actor behind the face of angry Tiger Memon.

Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday is the best movie of his till date. What a powerful movie with such a cast and tremendous acting. Never ever seen Pavan Malhotra in such great character driven performance , you will always want him on the screen such great acting he has produced.

A pure classic.

Brilliant docu-drama giving accounts and inner information about the 93 blast of Mumbai and a striking account of terrorism from ace director anurag kashyap.A complelling watch as it broadened my horizons of the social political stauts of country and taught me a great deal realted to world g.k.
