Mirzya: Pretentious and uninspiring

The screenplay, hinged on a cliched story, is not taut and meanders aimlessly, offering nothing novel even by way of treatment. In scenes when the lovers are escaping and ought to be tension-ridden, the dialogues in a light vein seem out of context and amateurish, diluting the intended intensity of the film further. The characters too are not convincingly etched, thus failing to engage the viewers.
