What 5 critics are saying

Critical reception for Shutter is broadly positive, with reviewers generally agreeing it delivers as a suspense thriller. Critics praised its tight runtime and its ability to stand apart from conventional Marathi fare like love stories and family dramas. Common reservations included needless scenes, a lack of strict realism, and the inclusion of two songs that felt unnecessary to the narrative.

    Film review ·

    I would recommend the Shutter audience to not ask too many and buy the premise instead. It is better to keep in mind that realism here is secondary to the storytelling and may not always work. As a complete package, the film does work nicely for the commercial cinema audience. It's something to break the monotony of love stories and family dramas.

    The film could have done without the two songs featured, but apart from that little hiccup, there's hardly anything to fault it. Go for it!

    Shutter is worth watching if you prefer new-age thrillers. The film has a decent chance of doing well at the box office, more so in the urban areas.

    Shutter is a brilliantly executed suspense thriller. Plus, it's all of two hours. Watch it!
