Gajab Raat review: What critics say
Early reviews are mixed but kind to the lead. Scroll praised the dark humour about corruption and called Bajpayee a slippery, memorable lead, but felt the thriller “runs out of steam” with an ordinary finale. Flickonclick highlighted the wild-night setup and the vaccine-scam twist. Most reviewers agree that Manoj Bajpayee is the main reason to watch.
