Turning 30 is a slice of life film. Debutante director Alankrita Shrivastava chooses to focus on a working woman living in a metropolis, how dejected she feels when a relationship fails, her perils, the hardships and how she eventually rediscovers herself on her 31st birthday. Turning 30 has great energy and humour as its aces. Gul's character in the film faces issues that several urban, independent women generally face and therefore, the identification with her character is immense. But the problem with the film is that it loses focus in its post-interval portions. Gul Panag delivers an elegant performance. She expresses the varied feelings well and literally grabs the film. In fact, her fine-tuned performance stays with you even after the film wraps up. Purab Kohli does a good jobs. On the whole, Turning 30 has its moments, but they are few and far in between. In totality however, Turning 30 misses the mark.
