Roy is a very disappointing movie. Script and direction show rather major flaws, nothing unexpected from a novel director. He has been unable to see and judge his work objectively. Had he done so, we would have been spared a substantial amount of boredom and embarrassment. Most dialogues are inane, plot boring to a fault, action absent. The whole lot will put you in a catatonic state after less than 15'.And don't give much credit to those reviews that attribute the bad rating to people being simple minded. There is no depth here, nothing hidden, no several layers of interpretation. It is just plain mediocrity.Although Jacqueline Fernandez looks very good, thank God, but Ranbir's talent is wasted, and Arjun Rampal's wooden delivery makes one wonder where he trained as an actor. Maybe he didn't.Jacqueline's beauty, some catchy tunes and the exotic location are perhaps the only salvageable bits of this otherwise conceited and pretentious film that sinks to the bottom of the cinematic hit parade by its own weight. To outsiders, it is difficult to understand how a producer risked his money in this dubious enterprise. Didn't he (or everybody else in the team) see from day one of shooting how hopeless the whole thing was?Save yourself 2hours+ of neuron zapping. Don't watch Roy.

I don't understand the low rating of ROY, why do people expect always the same from every movie, why don't they want see something different something extraordinary. I think the low raters of the movie didn't get the full picture of ROY. A movie within a movie. WOW!It kept me engaged till the very last scene of the movie. Two stories coming side by side connected with each other, The Director kept it all along very well! Hats of to Arjun, and Ranbeer. Jacqueline has also done a very well played role in both the situation. I think you should ignore the LOW rating and you should give it a chance if you are a FAN of different movies. I enjoyed it to the very last. And if you are a FAN of regular Indian movies, then this is not for you!

This is an amorous glamorous movie starring Arjun Rampal (Kabir), Ranbir Kapoor (Roy), Mandana Karimi (Pia), Shibani Dandekar (Zoya) and Jacqueline Fernandez in dual role as Ayesha/Tia. Cyrus Broacha, Rajit Kapoor (Detective Wadia), Anupam Kher, Barun Chanda and Shernaz Patel (Meera) play supporting roles.Background score and the songs are catchy. Dialogues are well-written. Cinematography is resplendent. Screenplay could have been better. Acting is commendable. Overall there's a sedative effect. See it to the end to form an opinion about this film.The thing is: Arjun Rampal portrays the writer-director Vikramjit Singh himself. Arjun is Vikam's projection on screen while Roy is Kabir's projection on reel. This is the crux.I don't get it why this film has such low IMDb rating. It should be above 7. As a bollywood flick, this flick is far better than many other flicks. Pair this movie with Inkaar (2013) to gain a better experience.

people didn't like the film because they didn't understand what is it but believe me if you watch it with carefully you will definitely love it. Film have two plots, one is about director Kabir & and his failed love life, his writer's block. second is about Roy which is nothing but Kabir's script we see on screen. people didn't understand what was that & they criticized this masterpiece. I found Kabir's character very similar to Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni in 8 1/2). Arjun Rampal also did this character effectively. Film brilliantly shows directors condition in writer's block, failed love. Director Vikramjit Singh is must be great fan of world cinema & want to made something like that in India cinema. its sad his first effort failed but believe me after 10 years will be called as classic.
