There
are
a
few
flaws,
but
I'd
rather
not
dwell
on
those
because
the
overall
impact
is
massive.

The
insipid
drama;
the
loopholes
in
the
script;
the
below
average
dialogues.
Blood
Money
is
a
poor
fare.

Blood
Money
is
old
wine
with
a
brand
new
label.
A
decent
and
absorbing
first
hour
coupled
with
soulful
music
are
its
aces,
although
the
mediocre,
outmoded
writing
in
the
post-interval
portions
leave
you
a
little
miffed.
At
best,
a
fair
attempt!

Blood
Money
finds
some
traction
in
the
climax
but
it's
too
little,
too
late.
By
then,
you
are
disengaged
and
debating
dinner
choices.

Good
for
Khemu.
He
gets
to
have
a
sex
scene
with
the
red
lipped
Udeya,
looks
pretty
smart
in
a
linen
suit,
and
has
some
life
and
death
kind
of
dialogues,
about
what
money
means
and
what
love
stands
for.
It's
all
too
messy.
And
too
trite.
By
the
time
our
hero
discovers
his
conscience,
it's
all
too
late
for
the
audience
to
care.
Avoid.

Blood
Money
suffers
from
a
serious
deluge
of
monotonous
scenes
where
the
actors
speak
their
line
as
though
in
a
radio
play.
We
hear
them
loud
and
clear.
But
we
fail
to
empathize
with
the
cleverness
that
the
dialogue
tries
to
achieve
in
scattered
showers.

Only
if
you
have
time
to
kill
on
hand
and
want
to
escape
the
seething
heat
outside,
step
into
the
AC
environ
for
this
sparkless
fare.

The
film’s
name
Blood
Money
is
obviously
inspired
by
Leonardo
DiCaprio’s
Blood
Diamond,
and
the
hero
here
is
shown
to
be
dealing
in
diamonds
too.
But
don’t
let
any
of
this
fool
you
to
expect
any
sparkling
moments
in
this
one.

Blood
Money
is
exceptionally
hollow
in
its
aspirations.
You
don't
have
to
be
a
diamond
expert
to
tell
a
gem
from
a
pebble.
And
so,
unless
stale
stories,
bad
acting
and
bungled
possibilities
capture
your
fancy,
Blood
Money
is
much
too
sluggish,
simplistic
and
boring
to
bother.
