Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Blistering performances.

THIS MOVIE IS NOT JUST A THRILLER;IT IS A WONDERFUL APPROACH AT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF RAGGING.PARESH RAWAL IS JUST SUPERB AS MR.KHAN,A FATHER WHO SEEKS REVENGE FROM THE TORMENTORS OF HIS SON AKRAM.AT FIRST IT SEEMS TO BE A THRILLER WHEN A COUPLE IS ASKED TO PLAY A GAME CALLED TABLE NO 21 SIMILAR TO TRUTH OR DARE.SOON THE QUESTIONS ASKED IN THE GAME AND TASKS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM BECOME EXTREME.THE VIEWER MAY FIND IT DISTURBING.HOWEVER,WHEN THE REALITY IS SHOWN AT THE END,ALL FEELINGS WILL CHANGE TOWARDS THE CHARACTERS.THE WAY MR KHAN TAKES REVENGE FROM THE COUPLE FOR RAGGING HIS SON IS PERFECT.EVERY SINNER WHO DOESN'T FEEL SORRY NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED SEVERELY.THIS IS THE MAIN THEME OF THE MOVIE,WHICH IS INDEED A GREAT AND UNIQUE THOUGHT.IT MUST BE MADE CLEAR TO SUCH MONSTERS THAT THEIR BEHAVIOUR IS INHUMAN AND THAT NO ONE WOULD TOLERATE THEM.A MUST WATCH FILM.

Table No. 21... An intelligently shaped masterpiece... Can still feel goosebumps even minutes after it's over... Hats off to the entire team for a brilliant idea and classic execution..Mermerizing performances by Paresh Rawal and Rajiv Khandelwal... The way story line unfolds is something which keeps you spellbound... Music is good... beautiful locations... A suspense thriller in true terms... The story of playing a live-game has been witnessed before in various movies but this was well-directed , well written and well-acted as well. Last but not the least, a Very important social message. "Ragging is not a Joke, It's a CRIME"..

There is old saying "expect the unexpected". Oh yes I haven't expect the "Ragging" message from the movie. The writer Aditya Datt is surely very talented to wrap the message of Table no. 21 until the climax of movie. When the reason for torturing Vivaan and Siya came out my thinking about them is suddenly changed. I start feeling warm heart for the so called villain before the climax. The movie is unique in all way, no one ever made this kind of movie ever in the history of films. Actors are also quite talented and Paresh Rawal is his at best. If you are a thriller lover then treat this movie as your delicious dessert. Every frame is worth watching, Fuji too is very beautiful. The facts in the end is really shocking and more shocking part is that Indian gov. isn't taking any serious action regarding "961" pending ragging cases in 2012. Hope this movie will touch the souls of persons who took ragging and the Gov. too. Go for the movie you will sure love it. and yeah my presently favorite song is Mann Mera and Siya Agasthi is too hot.

The trend in Bollywood for the first six months of any year has been more of small budget, small actors but large concept film. The remaining half half is followed with big films every Friday with big stars and unfortunately small concept. This year might not be any different. Bollywood has never had a superhit film on the first Friday of an year. 2013's first film Table No.21(TN21) comes as a surprise. Its not a superhit but worth a watch.Rajeev Khandelval and Tena Desae play a modern married couple who understand today's world and know all what they want from it and all what they can do for it - money. TN21 starts with a great song which actually works wonders to set the premise in five minutes instead of twenty minutes of boredom employed by other films. In a non-starer film it is very difficult to captivate the audience from the inception. The first song, the background score and Tena Desae do that job here. Once this happens the show is hijacked by the exceptional Paresh Rawal. Paresh takes it till the end with his little game of rounds with a humongous prize money which our couple here craves. The screenplay is excellent but could have been tighter. The unmatched comedy of Paresh Rawal helps a lot for the film. The climax is a surprise but extremely convincing.TN21 is comes from an unheard director Aditya Datt who actually becomes 4-films old after this. Fortunately his earlier films have been only neglected and not bombarded. Nobody cared. But this film shall give him a surviving space.Talking of performances, Paresh Rawal is the king. This man is in his own league. Rajeev Khandelwal has been very choosy in his films. He does the same and gives a brilliant performance. What you miss in him is just a tincy bit of attitude. Tena Desae does fine in her part, in fact excellent if compared to the number of good actresses in India now. This can get her career rolling.The music is rapt. There are only two songs. The second is not even complete. The score does a very fine job. the cinematography is different but not exceptional.On the whole, TN21 is a one time must watch due to its culmination. We all like surprises in this tedious lifestyle. TN21 just does that!
