  • Housefull 3

    You enter a theatre expecting the film to be silly and absurd. And even then, you end up laughing in amazement at the level of nonsense that it reaches.

    ...alas, for most part, Varman, much like a good schoolboy, sticks to the novel, without really adding his own creative inputs. Bhagat’s book is no classic to demand that kind of reverence.

  • Ek Villain

    ...a classic example of a film that takes itself so seriously that it ends up looking manipulative and largely lacking in genuine emotions and soul.

  • Love Breakups Zindagi

    ...there is a general warmth and camaraderie in the film, which can be infectious. Slightly cheesy, but sure to be liked by the romantics who still believe in 'happily ever after'.

  • Gabbar Is Back

    The only saving grace of this film is Akshay Kumar, who not only looks dishy with a beard, but does try giving a convincing performance in this not at all convincing film. But then he should have chosen better.

  • Lakshmi

    You walk into the movie theatre somewhat sure that this will be handled sensitively by someone who has made tender, touching movies like Dor and Iqbal. Alas, that is not to be.

  • Dozakh

    The performances are decent, the story is fantastic and the climax is moving, all but spoilt by an amateurish execution.

  • Aurangzeb

    The movie moves at such a meandering and self-indulgent pace that after a point you stop caring if it moves forward or sideways.

  • Jai Ho

    ...talking about or analysing this movie might be a futile exercise, considering that even as I write this, there are scores of ‘bhaifans’ out there beaming inside a theatre and enjoying themselves, no matter how bad the film is.

  • Shorgul

    Outdated in its approach, and tacky in its handling, ‘Shorgul’ disappoints on more counts than one.

  • Bullett Raja

    ...sorely misses the Dhulia brand of attitude and sincerity in the script and the treatment. Someone bring the real man back please, we will forgive and forget this one.

  • Singham

    The treatment is shoddy, background music is outdated (in fact, I almost expected to hear dishoom dishoom like in the 80's during the fights), the dialogues are unbelievably tacky and generally the film is tiring.

  • Dear Dad

    This could have been a better film dealing with a real issue, but sadly, the script and direction did not seem confident enough to deal with it.

  • Kick

    Welcome to bizarreland. This is where people do what they want and the audience is expected to digest it with open mouthed admiration.

  • Chalk N Duster

    ...while the story and script belongs to the higher secondary classrooms, the level of execution doesn't even rise above the kindergarten standards.

  • Jaanisaar

    You get the grandeur and the old-world charm that you expect from an Ali film, but unfortunately he seems to have lost touch with the finesse.
