7 Hours to Go (2016)
Director: Saurabh Varma
Stars: Shiv Pandit, Sandeepa Dhar, Vipin Sharma
Running time: 114 minutes
Things start to spin out of control as he becomes a witness to his fiance’s murder. The circumstances and his relation to the victim makes him the primary suspect in murder of Maya. He has no clue who murdered Maya and in a desperate attempt, takes seven people hostage in a dilapidated building, to clear his name and find the real killers.
He demands the Mumbai ACP that they catch the killers and only then will he release the hostages. But he himself keeps looking for the killers and muddles the investigation. These counterproductive acts of the protagonist keeps the audience guessing and even doubting his true intentions at times.
Rohit Bhatnagar from Deccan Chronicle believes that in spite of its flaws the movie will keep the audience intrigued and guessing till the end. While Sandeepa Dhar performs the police officer’s role quite well, the director tries to give the whole character a ‘foreign’ feel which might conflict with India’s reality.
Rahul Desai at CatchNews sees 7 Hours to Go as flashy and a bit too contrived. Scroll.in echoes Deccan Chronicle’s observation of the Director trying too hard to give the movie a Hollywood feel, and observes that it isn’t worth the wait.
I personally believe, 7 Hours to Go would be a better choice for an entertainer over Raman Raghav 2.0.
