The low reviews here are correct. This was painful to watch. The acting is not good, but the storyline was ridiculous.
I always go into a movie with the understanding that you have to give some wiggle room to the writers. In order to move a story, sometimes things have to happen that aren't realistic. That's only excusable if the rest of the movie makes sense! This movie did not make any sense.
I don't know what it takes to make a serial killer, but I'm sure that the reasons given here are not adequate. And it made for some scenes that were just dumb.
I regret watching this movie. It was terrible.

Only watching this cause my better half wants to see what happens. It's been 15 mins but I already see how dismally bad this is. The acting is quite sub par. It seems more like an art film rather than a thriller! Netflix seems to be in favour of providing subpar content now a days. It's unfortunate but the story had potential as far as I see it. I feel the budget didn't allow the makers of this film to make the right decision. Had this movie been made about 15-20 years back, it may have been successful. Reviews here seems to be on spot. It's the acting... God it's just so so unfathomably bad!!

This is easily the worst movie I have seen this year. The acting is terrible, and the script is next to stupid. Even the above average production quality couldn't help this movie. Seems like the director wants to make the audience dumb. The only motivation behind completing this movie was the fact that I am a fan of mysteries and I just wanted to finish it off. I am wondering how this made it into Netflix. Even if you have two hours to do nothing, there are better things to do than investing time on this one. For a moment, I thought this is a debut movie from the director but turns out he had done a handful of movies in the past. Bottom line, just terrible!

Except for Jimmy, its all poor cast choices, poor acting, poor voiceover, poor direction. Average storyline, and you predict the villain within 10 minutes! Was absolutely unnecessary to shoot in UK or to have a English cast. Not sure why JS did this movie, but then he was the only good ingredient of the entire movie. Songs were another unnecessary component. Could have been a 100X better movie if it had a better cast with real acting skills. This movie could be made way better within the same budget. Poor execution, storyline, casting, acting, directing. Dialogue writer also didn't seem to have done a basic homework of how professional's address each other in the UK.
Operation Mayfair is a decent movie. Shows the aftereffects of you not being treated in good way by society or family. It may lead to meantal and psychological issues. Good way they have presented the movie in an entertaining and interesting way. Same time, this a murder mystery story. Why is it called Operation Mayfair I do not know, maybe the operation of finding the criminal. Nice acting by the cast particularrly Jmmy Shergill and Ankur Bhatia. I had a nicce time watching the movie. Few stars I would remove because I couldn't connect much to their charcters, but the stooy was intense. I had a decent expereince watching the movie. I rate Operation Mayfair 8 stars on 10. One time watch movie. Nothing special except the murder scene of the indivial.. I felt little awkward and different. You can watch this movie for timepass. Not a boring movie. Songs and music are also fine.

An ultra substandard content which is hard to process. Acting , direction, are WORST.wish I can give -100 😂. A 10 years old could have done a better job. Basically this Bollywood flick tried to showcase how the MET police will work in 10 years time in the UK by taking over all the major government departments by Indians 😂. The most funniest was we have Indian home minister , finance minister and Prime minister.
Plot was interesting had multi dimensions to steer and manipulate the storyline but all was ruined because no brain was used.
Only good thing was jimmy Shergill has done a decent act.

The film is a disappointment on many levels. The plot is predictable and the characters are one-dimensional. The acting is also subpar, with Shergill giving a particularly wooden performance.
The film's only saving grace is its cinematography. The film is beautifully shot, with some impressive visuals. However, this is not enough to save the film from being a complete bore. The film's biggest problem is its lack of suspense. There is no sense of danger or urgency, and the audience never feels like the characters are in any real danger. The film also suffers from some poor technical aspects, such as shaky camerawork and poor editing.
If you're looking for a good thriller, I would recommend avoiding Operation Mayfair. There are much better films out there that are worth your time.

Story line seems interesting .
Actors are decent with acting.
But almost all the female actresses were below below par . The acting makes the movie worst to watch.
Why spend money in foreign location for shood and hire actresses with not acting skills.
Jimmy shergill did good .
Bad actresses. Almost all female actresses Don't have option for negative reviews else would have given that for wasting time.

Just twenty minutes into the movie and oh man disaster , what have you done Director! Vedika Dutt 0.1/10 acting for the role. No idea y Jimmy Shergill will be called back and no one listens to him lol! It's again vedika in every scene trying to kill us with that acting. This film is a utter classic example of the fact that no matter how much budget you allocate for a overseas shoot, your film is gonna be screwed if you hire a bad director. This will go down as one of the worst movies ever directed in this decade. I am sure the director himself did not watch the movie during screening??? Do not dare to watch this movie,,, such a dumb direction and waste of money.

If ever there was a movie that accurately defines the term 'bad acting' then this is it. The entire cast, be it the Indian or non-Indian actors perform like first timers, like they were picked off the streets, paid some cash and handed a script. The performances are lethargic, deadpan, forced, totally unconvincing and just lacking realism of every form. The only reason I sat through the entire film was purely out of curiosity to see how they ended up catching the killer. A story line that ought to have you on the edge of your seat ends up having you yawning within the first 30 minutes if you don't fall asleep before that.
I was entertained till end, good watch! I loved Kevin's role, his two personalities were interesting and the ending of how the killer maybe back in a few years was a good twist. Both the actors Kevin (Ankur Bhatia) & Amar (Jimmy Shergill) did phenomenal. The songs didn't go with the film and were non needed. Loved the shots of London. It could have been a more interesting plot if the killer wasn't revealed right away and a little less of the stepmother flashbacks but more focus on the killer being a husband, father, and his struggles. Otherwise great movie! Hoping there's a part 2, with a twist , I would surely watch it again.
Jimmy Shergill brought a lot of intensity and charisma to the role, and he was able to make the audience root for him even when he was making questionable decisions. His acting skills suprise me in this movie. It is unbelievable to see his movie after a long time and ankur Bhatia has also done good role in this movie. He is the actor who gives me goosebumps in this movie...he played a very suspensful role in the Jimmy Shergill brought a lot of intensity and charisma to the role, and he was able to make the audience root for him even when he was making questionable decisions.

I don't know where to start the story has been let down with some really bad acting really bad casting and absolutely hopeless directing ! The news reporter looks like she was hired off the street with 0 acting skills .. best part is when chase scenes go from Canning Town through to Covent Garden honestly it's painful to watch how they ruined what could have been a great story. Attention to detail was completely missed. How did Netflix ever allow this thing on its stream are times that desperate? I hate to think what it cost to make this complete flop. Bollywood cinema has come so far but this sends Bollywood backwards.
Finally created an account thanks to this movie and couldn't give more than 1 star, I actually tried if there was half a star ngl. One good thing is that you'll never use the word m*r*n ever again (if at all you did).
Where do I start about the direction or casting or anything really. Dialogues are cringe, senior officials using phone while driving, the evil guy entering clubs banging in the afternoon. Ordering pizza when they go to an Indian restaurant/pub, cutting the phone saying pizza was being served but wasn't anywhere to be seen. You'll have to see to believe but might as well not believe if that's the case I'll be honest.
Wondering how many real world cases would've been solved with this budget. Just a thought.

Doesn't even deserve 1 star for this.
Direction is third-class, acting is the worst i have ever seen. Don't know who is the casting director and what he saw in the cast. Pathetic dialogues. I dragged myself in anticipation of the things will be better.. but 40mins is the max i can before shutting the trash.
"Boy.. you are a moron" used so many times.. that my head and ear started hurting.
This is way below the B-grade movies, at least B-grade movies have a fun factor and have something to laugh about.
I don't think any movie, acting, direction, dialogues can be as trash as this one is.. Feel like puking on the face of director and the casting director especially.

This is the worst movie I have seen in ages. Not sure how this got on Netflix. The movie, the plot, the acting was so bad that this is my first ever movie review. Believe me, I made an account just to warn others. This movie deserves a negative 10 and belongs in a bin.
The actors were so bad that I almost thought of starting an acting career myself. I am not sure how or where the Director was when all of this happened. The sets and plots- don't even get me started. I have no words to describe who wrote this. I would have done a better job myself. Most of all- T-series, if you are reading this you ain't getting my trust anytime soon.
Please, please avoid!!!!!

Writing my first review ever as I was very disappointed with the movie. Waste of time. Didn't expect such a movie in this era. If you are watching this review before watching the movie then please don't waste your time. The movie was in top 10 of Netflix and hence started watching it as I like such genres. I feel like writing this review is good way to utilise your time than watching the movie. None of the female actress was near to good. I suggest IMDb to have negative ratings for such movies. It feels Jimmy Shergill accepted to act in this movie due to location of the movie. He must had a nice vacation in UK.

Just finished watching it. Great storyline slow burn keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the film. Another masterclass performance by Jimmy as usual. This is one of the best performances by Jimmy.
Amazing direction keeps you guessing what's going to happen next. Every scene directed doing full justice to the character. Dialogues has been kept simple yet powerful fully relevant to the scenes. Not a typical desi tadka drama film but a unique script with real life characters. It shows you don't need big budget or massive star cast if you have good direction sense and story. A must watch👍🏻👍🏻

Kevin the serial killer was like dangerous villain, this movie was so good and refreshing and topical. It had all the stuff i love in a thriller. Not to mention the way they went about portraying certain ideas in the film was so sensational. It was a spectacle in the theaters and I highly recommend u see it while its still in theaters!.. This movie is about deference to greater powers than you, and understanding your place in the cycle of life and death. From the opening scene I knew this was going to be a unique movie.

If you are watching for Shergill, even he won't be able to save this movie for you. What a worse movie has ever been made. Why they have to show foreign nationals whole team made out of brown people, that's not how it works.
Just trying to watch for 20 mins I wasn't able to do it. Bad acting by rest of the actors and mediocre dialogue by the writers, nothing exciting happens.
Just had one dialogue which repeats 25 times in first 20 minutes, YOU ARE A MORON, yes the people who made this are a Moron.
If you are high as kite may be then you can survive half the movie called Mayfair. Jeez signing off.

One of the major flaws of "Operation Mayfair" lies in its casting choices. The actors, though talented in their own right, seem completely miscast in their respective roles. It is a cringe-inducing film that showcases some of the most painfully awkward and unnatural acting ever witnessed on the silver screen. The dialogue, already suffering from its own set of problems, is made even worse by the actors' unnatural delivery. Every line feels forced and contrived, as if the performers are reciting lines in a high school theater production. The lack of spontaneity and authenticity drains any semblance of life from the scenee.
Worst movie ever.
Worst movie ever.

Its old habit die hard. Earlier too some bollywood actors use to go to London for vacation and try to pull a fast movie to cover the vacation cost. This movie is one of vacation time viewer cost maker vacation.
There is no suspense as the killer is revealed on frame one and the movie is investigation The investigation is less and khanai Ghar ghar ki is more where everyone is having own story and it's no where connect with another.
One cop has no family become leader others have family Few Goras Few bars Few buses and a glimpse of oxford. If we make a shirt film out of it and name foolish stockyard police Or we name it London life.
Jimmi is slow and a perfect confused husband. There is nothing to watch U can hear it while cooking as ur imagination of scene are better then shots.
Enjoy.

Bad direction and pathetic overall except for two things: Jimmy Shergil acting and gorugeous Hritiqa Chheber. Else everything is poor. Unnecessary UK location to make it look exotic, but in the end it does the movie more harm ss there isn't cohesiveness between the location and various actors.
Some of the actresses look so similar. For example wives of Jimmy and the villain and the last girlfriend of thr villain, they all look the same. It became confusing to follow.
But, watch it if you want to for only Hritiqa Chheber. She is gorgeous and look ravishngly beautiful in the movie. I am sure with time she will attain great height. Let's see. Maybe this movie will be remembered only for her first movie.
