  • Damadamm

    ...a reasonably breezy watch. You might enjoy the contemporary romance, if you let the flaws pass.

  • Action Jackson

    The film is worth a watch strictly for the cast and the songs. That’s if you’re willing to endure the unbelievably long and violent film for that.

  • Chance Pe Dance

    Had the film retained its smart, humorous and authentic tone without falling into pattern, this would have been a great watch. For now, you’ll have to forgive the predictable second half if you want to enjoy Shahid’s uninhibited, charming performance.

  • 1920 - Evil Returns

    Ok so this a Vikram Bhatt horror film (who has directed it is secondary), which means all of the following – a tormented heroine, a spirit that possesses her, the romance, some mumbo-jumbo and lilting music.

  • Bodyguard

    ...is endurable (and I say this without any condescension) for those who can forgive the haphazard story and be happy enjoying the songs and watching Salman and Kareena onscreen.

  • Gulaab Gang

    If you can forgive its sizeable flaws, the film is watchable largely for Juhi Chawla, and the few scenes where her face-off with Madhuri Dixit has sizzle.

  • Raja Natwarlal

    The film will seem monotonous for the most part, save the finale where you are at the edge of your seat for a few moments.

  • Hawaizaada

    ...barring the film's story and a few immersing scenes, all you have is characters you don't emotionally invest in, bizarre dialogue, and a lifeless romance. That's unfortunate indeed, as this story was rich with possibilities.

  • Sixteen

    The finale is as cliched as they come. So the film ends up being delightfully audacious but also messed-up, pretty much like some of its characters.

  • Kaanchi

    ...the film is not a total let-down. It has an interesting protagonist, an arresting story (sadly told in a simplistic fashion), and some effective moments. The gripe is this could have been a far, far better film. Too bad, really.

  • Dum Maaro Dum

    ...worth a watch for the peek into the seamier side of Goa; but expecting anything other than Bollywood style thrills and chases will leave you disappointed.

  • Rann

    ...Ram Gopal Varma really had a chance to make a film that could carry its message to the film-watching public. Instead, you have black and white characters comprising the usual clique of the righteous man, the villainous politician, and supportive love interest.

  • Guzaarish

    Bhansali's love story doesn't move you the way it is intended to. It's unique, but not necessarily special.

    Nov 2010
  • Chaalis Chauraasi

    The performances sparkle and there are a few moments of heartfelt camaraderie and humour. Other than that, Chaalis Chauraasi remains an average crime-caper.

    Jan 2012
  • Bewakoofiyaan

    The film could have been a modern rom-com dealing with issues of the recession, over-bearing parents, changing love equations etcetera. But what you get are good-looking actors, a few immersing moments, and an amusing sitcom episode at best.

  • Jaanisaar

    ...the tale is indeed a remarkable one. If only there were performances to back these inspiring, spirited characters, and a film that worked together as a whole, instead of delightful separates.

  • Madras Cafe

    While one would like to like this movie, it’s an uphill task, with convoluted story-telling, out-of-sorts dialogue, no new perspective on an event that happened years ago, and placid acting.
