• Despite the 3D, none of this is particularly eerie; the film fails to deliver even a few good ol’ fashioned cheap thrills. And the acting by everyone involved is so abysmal it’s hard to muster up much sympathy. A twist in the end never feels well-earned, raising even more questions about plausibility. This ‘Pizza’ is stale.

    ‘Pizza’ will give you some nice chills, and a little twist in the end, which is not as a surprise as it should have been. A remake of the surprise Tamil hit of the same name, the film proves a point. That successful horror doesn’t need stars, it needs a solid script, and atmospherics.

    The film manages to scare audiences with its 3D technique and its surprise element. However, other than those few moments, the story is predictable.

    Watch it if you love scary movies that come with a few laughs.

    With very limited scary moments, this Pizza tastes a bit bland, we wish there was more topping to give it a flavor.

  • Pizza 3D is not even close to being a spooky affair. For horror fanatics or time pass audience, the film doesn’t offer anything new despite the hope of it. With too many visible loopholes, the film was a good idea which could not translate itself into a good film. I am going with a 2/5 and hoping that someday a film will come that will use paranormal to create an unseen story.

    The Tamil version relatively is more taut and gripping, this one is not junk food but it is just about edible.

    Akshay Akkineni has reopened the door to a genre that urgently needs some fresh talent to invigorate it. Hopefully, just maybe, someone that will deliver. For now, Pizza is a decayed affair with some fresh toppings.

  • I suggest this movie would be best watched at your own house curled up in your couches with lots of popcorn for distraction!

  • Pizza has a novel plot. However this Hindi remake loses grip in screenplay, probably when the director tries to bring some fresh elements that were not a part of the Tamil original. Pizza entertains with some subtle humour and has some genuinely scary moments. Unfortunately a few moments are less than enough.

    There are many loopholes in Pizza 3D- poor editing, animation, unexplained scenes to mention a few. Still you will come out satisfied out of the cinema hall. Watch it! But keep you expectations in check. It’s an ordinary horror film with an extraordinary climax.

  • There is a twist at the end of this film that is way over-smart for its own good. By this point you already know Pizza (the movie) is frikin’ cold—not in a way that sends chills down your spine, which is what I had hoped for, since audiences down South, I’m told, have hugely appreciated this film’s original version in Tamil. This leaves you cold in a way that you casually stroll out of the theatre sighing, “Whatever boss.” What a waste.

  • Pizza is big on visual trickery and distressingly casual as far as things like plot and credulity are concerned…

    Filmmakers that venture into this genre must note that it is about what one doesn’t see on screen the anticipation of fear rather than fear itself-that leads to effective results. For now, the fear of being too original is fast turning into an epidemic. And if I can go an entire Pizza review without using terms like “delicious”, “thin crust” or “menu”, maybe a day will come when writers stop using nurseryrhyme crooning zombie children and ringing phones as permanent items on the horror menu.
