Ratings:.2.5/5 Review By: Sreeparna Site: Times Of India
Director Navdeep Singh, who has earlier helmed critically-acclaimed films like ‘Manorama Six Feet Under’ and ‘NH10’, attempts to create a period saga, with revenge as the central theme and an assortment of characters. But sadly, it fails to create the menacing impact it sets out to have. The narrative is too long drawn out and often meanders. Characters and subplots appear and disappear at whim, and some are not coherently etched out. Sonakshi Sinha is seen a cameo, but then you blink for a second, and shes gone. Laal Kaptaans effect at best is sporadic there are moments that may hook you, even shock you, but there are also too many scenes that are just laborious.

Director of Manorama Six Feet Under and NH10, Navdeep Singh sets the bar too high to allow much to slide. Its debatable whether this story could be told in a more compelling manner or not. But its surely one that didnt warrant the runtime (155 minutes) and the action scenes couldve used some aesthetic flourishes. One can arrive at whats wrong with the movie only after ticking whats right with it. Lets just say, its an acquired taste that youd regret acquiring.

If you are a fan of neo-Westerns and passionate about good cinema, then Laal Kaptaan is for you. We can’t quite picture the movie galloping into any 100 crore club, due to its subject matter and the fact that the genre might appeal to only a few. But Saif Ali Khan has shown himself to be an intelligent actor and he cements his status further by taking on this physically taxing role in a movie that so skillfully showcases a slice of Indian history which is as raw and visceral as it comes.

Yes, Laal Kaptaan frequently makes heavy weather of its overcrowded plot, but some of the points that it makes do help us make sense of a wildly fictional tale woven around the history of India in the interregnum between the decline of the Mughals and the stealthy arrival of the British.

Even though Singh keeps away from the sentimentality common to Hindi cinema, Laal Kaptaan lacks pace and certain scenes feel unbearably long. Dialogues, so essential for a historical thriller like this one, falter and flail in critical scenes, puncturing the impact of a unique story. As far as Hindi films go, Laal Kaptaan treads a path less trodden, but it meanders and spectacularly loses steam. It should have cut to the chase, literally and figuratively, but instead, it becomes an unbearably long and pointless pursuit.
