Genius
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is a messed up mumbo jumbo of some juvenile IIT hacks, loud sounds and verbose filmy dialoguebazi.
-
...the whole movie is treated like an 80s show reel, where star-fathers who were launching their sons had a template.
-
...director Anil Sharma has taken too much upon himself. Yes, he has shown us what all his son is capable of doing but neglected to give us a well-rounded film in the process.
-
Apart from Utkarsh’s boyish charm, Himesh Reshammiya’s music, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s flair of acting, Genius fails in getting qualified as a wholesome entertainer for which Anil Sharma is known.
-
Anil Sharma’s dated nepotism vehicle...
-
...is an extremely poor and senseless fare.
-
...a film that is about as amateurish as it is preposterous.
-
...terrible, terrible film.
-
It does not take a genius to figure out that the smart play for Utkarsh might have been to debut in a role better suited to his personality and appeal, over an old-fashioned showcase mounted by a zealous father designed to deliver his son as a lover-boy and action hero.
-
...no amount of flag-waving and chest-thumping can deflect from the fact that Genius is an unspeakably shoddy film.
-
Films like Genius are an upshot of indulgent parenting.
-
...is a noisy film, with hysterical action and dramatic sounds fighting for space with this gnome like debutant reaching for the sky, aspiring to instant action and romantic hero status.
-
...is the most frustrating film of recent times.
-
No harm in rejigging masala, but not if your style is mothballed. And not if the lead comes off strictly average, punching so high above his weight, that you end up feeling sorry for him.
