7 Hours To Go

<p>Arjun comes to Mumbai to visit his fiancé Maya at the city court and is taken aback when he is not able to find her anywhere. He begins to search for Maya and, in an unexpected turn, witnesses an unlikely murder. Frantic and exasperated, he is left with no choice but to take passersby as hostages before he is framed as the killer. The cops try to tackle the situation and within no time realise that Arjun is no ordinary hostage-taker, and it seems next to impossible to apprehend him. With nothing to lose, Arjun lays down his terms. He gives 7 hours for the police to find out the killer. The soundtrack of 7 hours to go consists of 5 songs composed by Sugat – Shubham and Hanif Shaikh. Mohar Basu of gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 saying that, “7 Hours To Go is gimmicky, lacking both the smarts and the menace of a thriller. The screenplay moves at snail’s pace and is completely devoid of tension.” Nandini Ramnath of said that the film is “An incompetent thriller with tacky effects.” Rohit Bhatnagar of gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 and said that, “‘7 Hours To Go’ will leave you tangled in a poorly woven web of multiple mysteries. The first half raises your expectations from the film, but all falls flat in the second half.” Sankhayan Ghosh of said that is “A Mumbai-based hostage movie that has zero tension and an empty emotional core. The film’s biggest failure is to not make us care for any of the characters: all victims of terrible crimes.” Sarita Tanwar of gave the film a rating of 2 out of 5 and criticized the director Saurabh Varma saying that, “In a thriller like this, the progression in the script needs to be very effective to keep the viewer engaged. Varma loses control of that in the film’s second half. It’s almost like he didn’t know how to fill the gaps.”</p>
