Indian movies has basically two stories, like writing an essay, an introduction part and then conclusion part, which is the movie post-interval, unlike hollywood or movies on streaming platforms. It's quite tough for Indian filmmakers to adapt this change.

Here Ruchi Narain, failed to keep the audience engaged throughout. Mid-movie, it all starting to seem like a dragged plain narrative,and she just escalated it with a 'twist' for which the audience is not prepared at all because of the slow pace of the movie.

With all the interrogation scenes in the 'first half' of the film, it looked like there is too much in it to get revealed but Alas!!. All the permutations and combination were cleared already in the first half itself.

This movie tried very hard to be 'Article 375' with the plot similar to 'Judgemental hai kya?' but failed miserably. The only couple of good thing about this movie atr the performances and cinematography. If you're really craving for something refreshing you can pick other titles from the Netflix else this is just one time watch.

Guilty is one of the new Netflix line ups for this year. And to a certain extent this is the most "well-made" of all of them.

The premise is intriguing and the way the story is laid out (at least initially), seemed to be really exciting. But the film somewhere lacks few things which (if there) could have made it into a masterpiece. It had all the great ingredients but somehow the execution falters.

Having said that, Advani's performance is a breath of fresh air. And the senior casts also shine. On top of that, few of the newcomers have actually done more than just being the "pretty new faces".

Moving back to the problems of this film (and boy there are many). First of all (on a lighter note) the number of times the word "MeToo" has been uttered in the film is actually kind of, little bit annoying (apologies in advance). I mean I get it, you are making a film and want to address the movement but I am sure there are more proper ways of doing it than just literally addressing the word in every third dialogue. Plus the story is so incoherent. I mean the film starts off by showing this lawyer (cum-Sherlock) investigating the truth and yet by the time film reaches second half does nothing actually to discover anything, apart from listening tapes and looking at Kiara. Even Kiara's character which is crafted as a nuanced, conflicted character but in the end comes across as one quintessential "Abla" Bollywood heroine. (To be fair, I didn't saw that coming at all). This film wants to be so many things, that after a point one would surely wonder which way the film is gonna go (which could be a good thing).

This film is not certainly bad. But the second half could have been more impactful. I get it, its a Bollywood film and the only way to make the message come across to the audience is by adding plenty of drama and insane amount of glycerin maybe. But I guess this film could have added one more word apart from MeToo and that is subtlety. I wish the film approached this great concept with more delicacy and grace. It could have been a perfect film like Pink maybe or Netflix's Unbelievable, but in the end this film is just Guilty... of adapting to all the classic Bollywood cliches. (You see what I did there)

Go ahead and watch. You might love it though.

Its waste of time...just for kiara acting u can watch it...Really ,she nailed it...I expected much more out of this movie... the twists r not that cool, Watch last 20min u will get answer abt why movie named guilty...

It's a good movie and captures different attitudes and aspects of college and society in relation to respecting women.

There is a very twist at the end of the storyline. Initially being with the college life of some teenager the story will take you through a ride of trust friendship power law guilt all together. Guilty has been a name given to all of the people who are responsible for... Must a watch show . @KiaraAdvani has done such a brilliant justice to the role . All the best team for the work.

Perfectly waste of time. Story and movie's quality below average. Full movie story of same crap. You can understand whole movie by watching last 20 mins. No need to watch for 2 hours. disappointing movie at all.

The plot revolves a rape case filed by the victim under MeToo circumstances. But the characters were loosely designed and I actually thought Kiara's character is suffering from psychopathic disease with the back-to-back cuts. They somehow made it convincing at the end with a long list of dialogues and epilogue. But there are lot of gaps in the story only to make it disengaging. A good one time watch in Netflix!!

This film would have been a great one if they actually went full on with what it was doing but sadly we just get a shallow film that feels like it was only made for people in Bollywood and literally no one else on Earth. And Kiara Advani was fine. But you realize how lucky Kanika was to have worked with seasoned actors like Kangana & Taapsee in the past to cover up her writing lapses, here it becomes more apparent how ordinary it becomes after a while.

No idea why so much hate and negative reviews for the movie. It was gripping to watch. The characters were interesting and the story obviously the MeToo story delivered in a powerful way that confuses you at times who to root for at different points in the movie. Better than other Karan Johar movies for sure.

This movie asks some very important questions about consent, the "internet conviction" of both the perpetrator and the victim, and the social inequality that exists between what a man can do and what a woman can.

The movie is packed with good performances and impressive direction. But despite all of this, the movie is flawed by its pace where the first half is at times painful to watch with the characters just having random interactions which don't seem to move the plot forward in any way.

Overall, I would still recommend this movie if you are ready to reflect upon the society, the people around you and yourself..

I was tryna watch this movie because of the good social lesson but I watched it like 30 minutes and I was really disturbed of their acting and storytelling... They just showed the college students really immature like they are some 16 YO... Don't mind me but if you wanna give some social lesson first make the plot and motivation of characters clear and mature otherwise the movie is not watchable... And the acting performance by whole cast was really very bad including Kiara...

This movie has such a powerful message and it discusses such an important issue in India and around the world. The ending of this movie is one of the most powerful endings that I have ever seen. I definitely recommend.

Boring . Waste the topic Kiara is not that great if you want to have this experience of the movie insteadt of this movie watch the movie pink

It is a good Netflix original movie. I liked it and can recommend you also to watch.

Another crap outing on Netflix for the Indian film industry.

The films tries so hard to be cool, ultra modern but falls flat on its face. Kiara who I generally like as an actress is rubbish, all the actors were rubbish.

The real culprit is the script and the director, a metoo movie with twists. It doesn't work and even with me skipping sections it's still felt forever for the movie to end.

Netflix needs to start making media that people will like, stop experimenting. Just because sacred games worked that doesn't mean every crap idea will. Netflix will start to lose audience if the content its spending money on is rubbish like this.

This rape convict mystery from Netflix under Dharmatic production is something that revives the sins of Bollywood films that dropped on Netflix. The characters, plot and the premise was convincing (even though the acting could have been better) and the direction by Ruchi Narain was good as well.

The subject of #MeToo was described with a genuine message, wherein still today the men are considered as a power over men. The movie was good but could have been better with more natural acting and a bit tighter screenplay. Kiara did well with her part, so did the other cast members.

My rating for 'Guilty' is 3.5/5.

Watch it if you have no movies left to watch. nothing special neither in acting or story telling- extended short film. Director thought to twist by manipulating but at-last you will revel the twist in 1st half it self. Silly direction.

I have no idea why there are negative reviews. Movie is good thriller.

Premise was good. But the pace of the movie is sooooo slow. @netflix Why do you waste subscribers money like this. Please spend little more time vetting content before producing or buying.

Hands down, the worst performance and the worst storyline ever What an amazing overacting by all the lead actors, definetly couldn't have gotten worse, especially Kiara Advani's character was the most flawed one I've seen in recent times What was the creative team even expecting? After Good newzz, this was a huge disappointment from Kiara

Good movie about court rooms and proceedings and also great climax make story worth watch kiara advani is best.
