Not so impressive and too many loopholes
ja-4431830 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The story is not digestible. Acting by all is just an average. End is not interesting. Just a time pass not interesting. Court scene might have added more suspense in the story and in the end. The end is not here. What happens next is more rewarding. The other angle of murder is not investigated and crime is not proved. How can a person be guilty without court proceedings? This is just an average extra marital relationship story but the end is without any substance. The solution leaves you half satisfied. You want to explore more. You feel pity for both married man and his girl friend. It's not clear what does the story tell you except an unnecessary end.

First of i wasn't expecting anything from this movie. And yet it proved right after watching this torture.

Thank God the run time was short.

Now lets talk about the movie.

Raveena acted well but fell short on the bogus script provided to her.

So many loopholes in the movie.

1. How come Niru managed to call Lata successfully as the network had issues and she couldn't even call Govind or ambulance.

2. How come Lata reached the Farm house Villa so quickly as she was in another part of city.

3. Why did Lata didn't cared about her mobile and didn't even went back for her phone?

4. Why Govind was sent 40 km one side to pick some pastries. As this was a bad decision considering the rain and weather.

5. How did Ram managed to stay alive all this time. He fell from first floor and apparently hit his head which was bleeding profusely.

6. And how did Ram even fell? The railing was not so low.

7. So apparently when Niru was making coffee, Lata killed her husband. How did she managed to do that in that short period of time. Not to mention she even filled Niru's bag with money. To make her look guilty. And why didn't Niru noticed the bag full of money?

8. Why on earth Niru didn't noticed the whole night that Ram is dead.

9. So apparently Lata ripped her cctv and hard drive and threw in the trash. Why was she not considered a suspect and why the police didn't asked her about it.

10. Lata cut her car's engine wire with a knife. Why did the police didn't asked her anything?

Even the police in Crime patrol is better than the police in this movie.

Yes the atmosphere in the movie was really good. The remote house and the weather was making a good feeling to watch.

Just a time pass movie for a weekend night.

Twist in the end is awesome!! Decent one time watch!!
sanjubhat5 August 2023
FILM Review: One Friday Night streaming on Jio Cinema

Ek Friday night ki kahani hai . A cheating husband Ram ( Milind Soman) & his lover, Nirosha ( Vidhi Chitalia) plan a romantic rendezvous at the former's remote bungalow near Lonavala.

The wife who is a gynaecologist, Lata ( Raveena Tandon) is unaware of this and thinks he is in Nagpur for a business meeting. Ram suffers a freak accident in the midst of their romantic interlude and is badly injured. Unable to get any help in the stormy night, the exasperated Nirosha calls the Lata. Upon reaching the bungalow & understanding what is going on, Lata & Nirosha are left confronting each other in an interesting faceoff. After a while Lata leaves the two lovers and that's when the real fun starts!!

Raveena Tandon has given an excellent performance as a wife who is devastated by her husband's infidelity and yet has to take care of him as a doctor. Milind Soman is sadly wasted. Vidhi's role too had great potential ,but she is unfortunately shown to be too passive. A decent performance though.

Manish Gupta who has given us brilliant films like Rahasya and Section 375 should be commended for trying to steer away from the normal Bollywood cliches & trying something different. The remote villa & the rainy night have been used very effectively. However, the lack of dramatic moments and a somewhat insipid narrative slows the film down.

Though it is a short film of around 90 mins and might seem a bit slow , the unexpected twist in the end makes it worth the watch !!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one ... Adios🙂!!

Good it was only one night
sameerlodaya29 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The makers have made the movie in entire one night and that's good if they added more then it be disastrous

Keeping in mind raveena and Milind I dared to see this movie still could not get it what they wanted to show it was so much down graded thrill with no acting or expressions from any of these stars ..raveena could had done wonders but she was unexplored and so was Milind..the suspense was so so easy to predict

Sorry for the negative reviews just giving feedback to ensure we get good quality with versatile actors like raveena

Perfectly makers have released on free ott platform.

Big time waste
waityear31 July 2023
Most revies are paid of fake about this.

There is nothing in this movie.

It is very predictable, It has almost no story or worse story, screen play , characters and even music. Dubbing is so bad.

I think film students can do better than this piece of scrap.

I wish I can give 0 start.

I am fan of lead actors but they did very bad.

Milind was never able to act and he will never be.

Over all Raveena is ok actress but she dint do any efforts on this one.

Some of natural shots are ok which seems like just shot by drowns by someone else and edited/added to this movie and houses used in this movie are kinda ok. Nothing else.

Nice movie with loopholes in the story
MrKhilaadi30 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This is a crime thriller movie in which at the end the villain is successful. But I am pretty sure that more complicated cases than this could be solved by the police.

Police may suspect how could a person suddenly missed so many calls after talking on the phone just minutes ago in the middle of the night.

Police could examine the car of murderer, they would find out it traveled last night or not, and examiners could tell that a wire was cut by a knife or broke spontaneously.

How a CCTV camera could disappear along with the hard drive suddenly. CCTV was there could be proved by questioning people.

A gripping relationship drama.
akashddlani5 August 2023
The movie is well made, I came across the poster on social media and the title was attractive. A quick 90 minutes watch was well worth it. Kept me engrossed.

The cinematography was very sophisticated and made the location look beautiful. The highlight was that this extra marital affair drama was kept very real and non Bollywood. The exchange of words between the 3 lead characters gave the film a very real feel and kudos to the director and writers for that.

The performance by Raveena Tandon was very natural and as an audience you could feel her pain. Milind Soman's performance was a pleasant surprise. The new actress playing the young love interest was very convincing as a vulnerable girl in love. It's a great weekend watch. Would recommend it.

Manish Gupta with his unexpected twist in 'One Friday Night'
nagosevivek28 July 2023
Movie enthusiasts, rejoice! 'One Friday Night' delivers an amazing plot that captivates from start to finish. It's the unexpected twist at the end that truly sets this film apart. This is a testament to the brilliance of well-experienced directors who skillfully craft a story that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. Prepare to be enthralled as the narrative takes thrilling and unpredictable turns, leaving you in awe of the masterful storytelling on display.

It's fantastic to hear that Raveena Tandon's performance in the movie was well-received, especially after her return to the screen following a significant hiatus. When an actor makes a comeback after a long time, it can be an exciting moment for their fans and the film industry alike. Raveena's return might have generated buzz and anticipation among the audience, making her performance even more noteworthy.

A talented actor like Raveena Tandon can bring a fresh energy and maturity to her roles, drawing on her experience and skills accumulated over the years. Her presence and performance might have added a unique touch to the movie, making it a memorable experience for viewers.

Certainly! If you have a specific preference for Milind Soman's character to have a more substantial involvement in the conflict, it could lead to an even more engaging and dynamic storyline. By giving his character more significant challenges and opportunities to contribute to the central conflict, the movie could explore new dimensions and potentially add depth to the overall narrative.

One Friday Night Review
kreativekumar29 July 2023
The special thing about this film is that according to the story of this film, the suspense created by the writer of the film (Manish Gupta ji) is commendable.

The director (Manish Gupta ji) has made a good film using minimum locations. Raveena Tandon, Milind Soman and Vidhi Chitalia will be seen in this film.

Like always, Raveena and Milind's performance this time too was very good, while Vidhi Chitalia kept the entire film engaged due to her acting skills.

The camera work and lighting of the film is very good. Coming to the post production, the sound, editing and VFX did a great job. You guys must watch this movie once.

A REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE, WHAT A MOVIE!!!!
payalmg29 July 2023
It's a very well directed movie by the acclaimed writer and director, Mr. Manish Gupta.

The location Pawna Lake, where the film has been shot is absolutely stunning. It's damn good, so close to Mumbai. It has been captured beautifully in the film by the cameraman and director.

All the actors acted very well and they were very believable. Great performance by Raveena Tandon & the new girl Vidhi Chitalia.

The relationship complexities which are shown in the film are extremely realistic.

I hope the makers make a sequel to this movie soon, it will be great to watch it.

Highly recommend this movie 'One Friday Night' to the lovers of realistic cinema.

Many thanks to the Writers, Director, Producer, Actors & crew of team 'One Friday Night'.

Intense..captivating..a must watch..
abhinavcreate29 July 2023
Director Manish Gupta has once again delivered a masterpiece. The thrilling plot keeps you on the very edge of your seat just from the beginning. It's not very easy to deal with human emotions when there are elements of suspense in a movie but hats off to the director as he has done quite a commendable job.

Milind Soman in Ram and Raveena Tandon as Lata have played their character superbly. It's not that often that we see Raveena in such an avatar. Vidhi as Neeru has also performed remarkably well. All actors are equally good. Film is beautifully shot as well.

I would strongly recommend all film lovers to watch One Friday Night. You would not want to miss it. It's streaming on Jio cinema.

A must watch film directed by master director manish gupta
shubhamsuryavanshiss29 July 2023
Well written screenplay and brilliant casting. Nice story. There are some flaws but the audience may not feel it. Enjoyable suspense thriller.

Acting-Raveena tandon acting is superb and steals the show. The others are also usually good (with occasional overacting). I had never noticed milind earlier but he does a pretty good job in her limited role. Overall, characterisations are pretty good.

Neat story. So far, I am unable to find a plothole.

Many elements in the movie are portrayed realistically, with minor details like the behaviour of a farmhouse staff also taken into consideration.

Overall, I liked the execution of the movie, a rare murder mystery from Bollywood. Recommended watch.

Vidhi chitalia is good.

Direction-Heartwarming & fully gripped.

Summary: It's the feel-good movie of the year - I found it very touching."

Great movie
rohanjagdale-7624629 July 2023
I happened to watch the latest Bollywood film 'ONE FRIDAY NIGHT' on JIO CINEMA yesterday morning.

The cinematography was excellent and Manish Gupta's direction is simply fantastic.

He makes everything look so real and authentic. He is a brilliant filmmaker.

Raveena Tandon, Milind Soman and nee actress Vidhi Chitalia have done a great job in this superb movie.

The story of the film is very engaging, there are plenty of unexpected twists and shocking turns.

The manner in which the cast of the actors were made to perform by the director and their power of communication and body language is beautifully revealed at the right places.

Manish Gupta has written the screenplay very well and his direction is top notch.

He has presented the dramatic story in the film so effectively.

The unique feature of this film is that it is shot entirely in the night and in heavy rains.

A very emotionally strong film about relationships.

It is truly a great piece of filmmaking.

An impressive debut by the new girl by a very moving portrayal.

I would definitely recommend this film - ONE FRIDAY NIGHT to everybody, it's a must watch.

Intriguing ...
Shekharkar31 July 2023
It's really exciting to see a thriller shot in limited locations. The film turns into a great drama where morality plays the main lead. At a point of time the film makes you feel as if it's happening right in front of you. If you are expecting a regular thriller then this might disappoint you but the suspense lies with in the arc of each character. 1st half takes time to build the premise and the 2nd half is gone without blinking eyes. The rainy atmosphere and the location really gives a thrilling touch to the story. If you are aware of director Manish Gupta's previous work then this film is a must watch.

"Wow! What an astonishing and marvelous movie! From start to finish, it had me completely captivated. The performances by Raveena and Milind Soman were nothing short of outstanding. Raveena's portrayal was so powerful and emotionally charged; I couldn't help but be drawn into her character's journey. And Milind Soman's presence on screen was just mesmerizing. His performance in action sequences was simply breathtaking. The chemistry between the two actors was palpable, and it added an extra layer of depth to the story. The movie's plot was brilliantly crafted with unexpected twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. The direction and cinematography were top-notch, bringing the story to life in the most captivating way. The film's soundtrack was equally impressive, perfectly complementing the emotions on screen.

One Friday Night - A Mesmerizing Blend of Drama and Suspense
Santanu-Chatterjee-0129 July 2023
One Friday Night, the 2023 Hindi language relationship drama/suspense film, directed by the talented Manish Gupta, is a compelling cinematic masterpiece that leaves the audience enthralled from start to finish. Starring the brilliant Raveena Tandon, the dashing Milind Soman, and the talented Vidhi Chitalia, the film effortlessly weaves an intricate web of emotions and intrigue, captivating the viewers with its gripping narrative.

Gupta's directorial finesse shines through as he deftly crafts a tale that revolves around relationships, while cleverly incorporating elements of suspense, reminiscent of Hitchcock's timeless classics. With the support of JIO Studios as the production house, One Friday Night delivers a top-notch cinematic experience with its direct-to-OTT release on Jio Cinema on 28th July 2023.

The movie brings together Raveena Tandon and Milind Soman for the first time as an on-screen couple, and their electrifying chemistry is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the film. Tandon's mesmerizing performance and Soman's suave persona complement each other, making their on-screen romance an absolute delight to watch.

However, it's Vidhi Chitalia's portrayal of the leading lady that truly steals the show. Having impressed audiences in Manish Gupta's earlier venture, 420 IPC, Chitalia proves her mettle as an actress, effortlessly carrying the weight of her pivotal role alongside the seasoned Tandon. Her emotive and nuanced performance adds depth to the character, making her an actor to watch out for in the future.

The film marks Manish Gupta's sixth directorial venture, and it's evident that his experience and storytelling prowess have only grown stronger over the years. Having previously helmed successful projects like Darna Zaroori Hai, The Stoneman Murders, Hostel, Rahasya, and 420 IPC, Gupta is no stranger to delivering gripping narratives that keep the audience hooked. With One Friday Night, he continues his streak of excellence, showcasing his versatility as a director.

The picturesque setting of the film, shot in the monsoon months of July and August, adds to its allure. The isolated hilltop at the shores of Pawna lake serves as the perfect backdrop for the unfolding drama. Gupta's decision to film many scenes in natural rain creates a sense of realism and enhances the emotional impact of pivotal moments.

As the film delves into the complexities of relationships, it keeps the audience guessing with its cleverly plotted suspense elements. The masterful storytelling unfolds seamlessly, revealing surprising twists and turns that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The musical score of One Friday Night beautifully complements the narrative, heightening the emotional impact of each scene. The cinematography is top-notch, capturing the essence of the story with stunning visuals.

In conclusion, One Friday Night is a remarkable cinematic experience that seamlessly blends drama and suspense, leaving a lasting impression on its audience. With stellar performances, expert direction, and an engaging plot, the film stands as a testament to Manish Gupta's directorial prowess and the acting brilliance of Raveena Tandon, Milind Soman, and Vidhi Chitalia. It's a must-watch for cinephiles seeking an enthralling tale of love, secrets, and intrigue.
