    ...given its premise, the film had the potential to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller, if only the writing and execution could have been better.

  • Radhe

    The film is manna from heaven for all Salman Khan fans. Don’t try to find logic and a coherent screenplay and story here and you won’t be disappointed...

  • Setters

    The writing goes from being focussed to being all over the place. In effect, the balance of the film isn’t right. It’s too intense in some areas and playful in others.

  • Dabangg 2

    All said and done, the cliches work because of the phenomenon called Salman Khan. Take him away and the film will look as flat as a bottle of soda left too long in the sun.

  • Aiyaary

    His was a story which needed further exploration but Pandey seems to have lost steam midway, abondoning it to its fate like an overburdened midwife.

  • Shimla Mirchi

    Watch the film to catch a whiff of a bygone era where romance was all about a boy meeting a girl in picturesque locales. Shimla is no longer the visual paradise it used to be and sadly the formula too is past its sell-by date..

  • Race 3

    ...the film has something for everyone. An action film combined with family drama is the perfect Eid gift from Bhai to his fans worldwide. At close to 3 hours it does drag in places and tauter editing would really have added to the film.

  • Welcome to New York

    ...is more a series of comedy skits stuck loosely together than an actual film with a coherent plot and screenplay. It's a fresh idea alright and better execution would have turned it into an eminently enjoyable film.

  • Nakkash

    Better attention to detail and better writing would have turned Nakkash into a powerful vehicle propagating Hindu-Muslim unity -- something that’s much needed in these troubled times. Instead, you’re left with a sense of what could have been as you come out of the theatre...

  • Omerta

    Watching the film is like reading a newspaper report on the terrorist. It gives you a huge lot of facts but doesn't provide you with the complete picture.

  • Commando 2

    Actor Deven Bhojani, known for his comic timing, impresses with his technical finesse over the action genre in his directorial debut. A little more attention to the plot would have turned it into a far better product than it is right now.

  • Laal Kaptaan

    ...has superb production values, a nice background score, and doesn't disappoint in the acting department as well. Of only the narrative flowed at a faster pace, we would have had a cracker of a film indeed.

  • I

    The big bugbear for the film remains its run time of 3 hours and ten minutes. Hopefully, the technical wizardry will be enough to make the audience forgive this lapse …

  • Total Dhamaal

    The film delivers its punches by stringing together one ridiculous situation after another. As long as you enjoy that brand of comedy and are looking for a film to unwind, then Total Dhamaal is just the fare for you...

  • Jabariya Jodi

    ...while Jabariya Jodi is saying all the right things, it falters in the execution. Better attention to detail would really have made a wealth of difference for the film.

  • Baaghi 3

    ...ultimately it’s Tiger Shroff’s show all the way. He slices and dices through the opposition with the finesse of a ballet dancer. He seriously needs better scripts sometimes soon to do better justice to his enormous talent...

  • Pari

    A more dramatic story and tauter screenplay would have turned it into a true blue horror film. But in the present form, the only feeling it evokes is of sadness brought out by the fact that a brilliant opportunity got lost.

  • Commando 3

    ...Vidyut Jammwal executes his stunts with a superhumanly fast and furious speed in the hope that his antics will take our mind off the asinine plot. Guess what, at times at least, he succeeds...

  • LoveShhuda

    ...watch Loveshhuda to recollect and smile back at your own drunken binges. Watch it with your gang and then proceed to have a few for the road…you might just need them…
