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.

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.

Anurag Kashyap is a cinematic genius This film is a true masterclass for genuine movie lovers. Each and every scene is written and directed with high precision. The chasing scene is such example.
All major and minor characters played their role with perfection..
Aditya Srivastav and Pawan Malhotra are definite stars

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.

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

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

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