Ghayal Once Again
Critic reviews and ratings
-
This is pure action and Sunny fans are going to have a screaming time in the theatres.
-
Sunny Deol, as a director, does a better than decent job. He manages to keep the plot believable and keep you involved in the goings on.
-
Despite its flaws, this dhai kilo ka haath is worthy of a watch. Because they don't make heroes like Ajay Mehra anymore.
-
Despite the flaws, Sunny's idealistic film exudes the sincerity and unbreakable spirit of a common man.
-
It’s shot nicely, it’s fast and it takes the right kind of approach to building on the legend of Sunny Deol and Ghayal.
-
...if you're a Sunny Deol fanboy, this one ticks all: lung-tearing screams and crushing punches.
-
The film is earnest and has a few genuine, emotional moments, but is defeated by an outmoded viewpoint and look.
-
...comes across as a shoddy and outdated attempt of the classic remake.
-
For the Sunny Deol fans who like to watch his punches and dialogues, make sure you don’t miss this one.
-
Deol is sincere and still evokes whistles when he lets loose his right hook. Fans of the Deol brand of action won’t be disappointed.
-
A racy first half gives way to mundane not-so common man vs. system.
-
The direction may be raw, but the action is good.
-
The action hero returns to serve some old fashioned justice in Ghayal Once Again as the still seething, still suffering Ajay Mehra like only he can. If also it could deliver the stamp of sharp, solid filmmaking like only the man who conceived Ajay Mehra can.
-
The script’s bigger failing though is that it skims over too many characters without giving them enough flesh.
-
...isn't unwatchable – far from it. But it’s old-fashioned and evokes a distinct sense of déjà vu.
-
Perhaps it is Deol insisting that even if 2016 gives you all the multiplex films, my cinema from the 90s can co-exist?
-
This movie is set in the Mumbai of today, but has an attitude that is frozen in time.
-
Sunny the actor is still a lethal weapon and can blow his opponent all the way across the room. Sunny the director should just get out his way.
-
...looks every inch like a film that has arrived at least 25 years too late even though it does reflect the undeniable fact that corruption is still a way of life in this country.
-
Ghayal was one of the best-known entries in this genre, and the sequel labours under the shadow of the 1990 production.
-
It’s a terribly made film with nothing much to offer except Narendra Jha’s performance as the suave villain.
-
After a while, it’s not the action – it’s the acting. Deol just cannot play emotional scenes convincingly. But at least he looks as if he can move mountains with a single hand, and that’s really what this film needs.
-
At best, Ghayal 2.0 seems like Deol, 58, reliving his glorious past as the last.
