Bollywood Movie David has succeeded to grab the eyeballs of several top Movie Critics.
The story revolves around the lives of 3 DAVIDS in 3 different parts of the world in 3 different eras.
Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, the movie is excellently weaved and has some of the very soothing soundtracks along with a new mix of Sufi Song ,Damadam Mast Calander.
Taran Adarsh
In his review Taran Adarsh says: What you eventually carry home is the technique Bejoy adopts to narrate the three stories. But the gorgeous visuals and a couple of enthralling moments aren’t enough. A film ought to score as a complete package. That’s where DAVID falters!
DAVID appeals in bits and spurts, although the film begins on a promising note. The track involving Neil Nitin Mukesh is the best of the lot, followed by the one featuring Vinay Virmani. Again, not all episodes in these two stories are attention grabbing. The third one, featuring Vikram, just doesn’t work. It has the potential, but the writer/s don’t tap the potential to the optimum. As a matter of fact, boredom and dullness seep into the movie at regular junctures, which is not a positive sign when you’re watching a thriller. Even the finale is not as compelling.
DAVID scores high in its technical department. Be it the luminous cinematography or exhilarating sound design or refreshingly different background score, the outcome is top-quality. The DoP comes up with spectacular frames and also captures the intensity that the characters radiate with dexterity. As for the soundtrack, barring ‘Damadam Mast Kalander’, there’s not much to marvel in this enterprise.
NDTV
NDTV review says: It is apparent from the outset that the unusual narrative triptych that constitutes David has inherent potential. It is another matter that it is, at best, only partially realised.
Yet, in the end, writer-director Bejoy Nambiar delivers a film that he can be proud of, even more so than of Shaitan.
The stories, set in three different eras (1975, 1999 and 2010), are tenuously connected and the film jumps from one to the other as the three male protagonists, all named David, fight their inner demons over a period of exactly a month.
David is unique also because it is a rare Hindi film that locates itself exclusively in spaces where India’s two principal minority cultures – Muslim and Christian – dominate, without the filmmaker resorting to the cliched ritualistic trappings that go with any such depiction of the communities on the big screen.
Zee News
Zee News Review says: Director Nambiar thoughtfully builds the stories of the three protagonists in his film who are diverse in all spheres- their situations, their dilemma, their miseries and their destinies. Yet in the end, their lives do bear a striking resemblance, for the way they conduct them, leave a strong poignant connect that knows no other language- but the language of love.

In its review Gomolo writes: One flipside of the movie is that the story of Vinay Virmani seemed bit weak in comparison to other chapters. Right from the reason of attacking Naseer to the cooperator revealing the truth to Vinay or even a stranger instigating him and few more did not turn up as they should have on the silver screen.  One of the major flaw of the film is that it’s too long, especially in the second half where it seemed over stretched. Wished the director would have controlled his love for the longer script and trimmed down the film by 20 mins, the whole finale impact would’ve been more hard hitting.
