Filmmakers
don't
blame
critics
for
the
failure
of
their
films
for
nothing
–
they
have
a
reason.
Of
course,
there
are
films
that
do
well
in
spite
of
being
bashed
by
the
critics
because
of
factors
like
star
power,
good
content
and
good
word
of
mouth
but
their
opinion
determines
the
fate
of
a
film
to
a
large
extent.
So,
the
makers
of
Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
makers
have
a
good
reason
to
be
happy
as
the
film
has
got
rave
reviews
from
all
quarters.
Popular
critic
Taran
Adarsh
is
all
praise
for
the
film.
"Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
is
a
striking
example
of
new
age
cinema.
A
daring
film
with
a
brand
new
approach,
it's
impulsive
and
engaging
with
skilful
direction
and
power-packed
performances
as
its
strong
points.
This
is
one
more
solid
attempt
that
takes
the
graph
of
Hindi
cinema
to
a
greater
level," He
wrote.
"Sudhir
Mishra
is
back
in
form.
You
need
a
strong
belly
to
stomach
this
one!"
he
added.
Nikhat
Kazmi
thinks
that
one
finds
Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
difficult
to
understand
but
is
a
good
film.
"It
does
sound
a
bit
confusing
but
if
you're
alert
and
attentive,
you're
going
to
love
this
merry-go-round.
Specially
since
the
ensemble
cast
breathes
fire
and
passion
in
their
performances,"
she
wrote.
"Dark,
devious
and
different,
Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
is
brain-and-brawn
drama.
Wish
the
Censor
hadn't
beeped
so
much,"
she
added.
Anupama
Chopra
describes
the
film
as
'most-twisted
film'.
"Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
is
the
most
twisted
love
story
you'll
see
this
year.
There
are
so
many
characters,
sub-
plots,
voice-overs,
flash-backs,
intrigues
and
counter-intrigues
that
you
will
need
a
master-guide
to
keep
it
straight.
It
is
much
too
long,
indulgent
and
exhausting
but
if
you're
willing
to
work
with
it,
there
is
considerable
fun
to
be
had,"
she
wrote.
"Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
doesn't
hit
all
the
high
marks
it
sets
for
itself
but
it
provides
enough
crackle
to
keep
you
entertained.
Check
it
out,"
she
added.
However,
Blessy
Chettiar
is
a
bit
critical
about
the
film.
She
is
of
the
opinion
that
one
needs
patience
to
watch
it
though
a
good
one.
"Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
has
romance
at
its
core,
and
a
lot
of
thrill
is
thrown
in,
too,
taking
the
audience
from
the
streets
of
Delhi
to
its
outskirts
in
Haryana
to
Rajasthan
and,
finally,
to
a
gripping
climax
at
Mumbai's
Bhaucha
Dhakka
(Ferry
Wharf),"
she
wrote.
She
went
on
to
say
that
the
switching
of
scenes
from
one
city
to
another
confuses
the
viewers.
Yeh
Saali
Zindagi
is
a
romantic
thriller
featuring
Irrfan
Khan,
Arunoday
Singh,
Chitrangada
Singh
and
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
in
the
lead
roles.
It
tells
the
story
of
two
persons
who
go
all
out
to
win
the
hearts
of
the
women
they
love.
It
tells
how
far
one
has
to
go
to
win
one's
love.
