Zila Ghaziabad

The film overall had a good storyline. Vivek snatches his role as always and Arshad comes as a good villain here... But what I felt a lot is it's inspired from the epic gangster films "Gangs of Wasseypur- 1,2" by Anurag Kashyap... the idea of this gang wars and the betrayals etc.

Which makes sense also since GOW 1,2 released in 2012 and Zila Ghaziabad a year later. Good acting skills though.

Zila Ghaziabad review:

This one is RECOMMENDED to different persons for different reasons: for aspiring film makers to understand how NOT to make a film, for aspiring actors on how NOT to act, music directors on how NOT to compose music and lastly for us, audiences to understand why NOT to go for such crap fest ..!!!

Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.

'Zila Ghaziabad' arrives late. The subject & the execution of this blood & gore fest, deserved to hit screens 25-years back, when such films worked! Of course, it has some genuine merits & admirable performances, but the storytelling is been there seen that!

'Zila Ghaziabad' is the same old story of a hero's revenge after the villain kills his innocent brother brutally.

I really didn't mind 'Zila Ghaziabad', as I myself am a fan of this genre. I loved watching such action-flicks as a kid & grew up on them, frankly speaking. But, for 2013, 'Zila Ghaziabad' isn't the movie of the moment. The Screenplay is strictly aimed for the masses, offering everything they starve for. Anand Kumar's Direction is fair.

Performance-Wise: Sanjay Dutt is a complete bad-ass & he's great fun in an extended cameo. Arshad Warsi springs a surprise. He plays the violent villain with ease. Vivek Oberoi is efficient, as always. Ravi Kishan is excellent. He stands out. Paresh Rawal is effortless & a joy to watch. Chandrachur Singh & Ashutosh Rana are effective. Charmy Kaur gets very limited scope.

On the whole, 'Zila Ghaziabad' is meant for the masses.

This is worse than the usual Bollywood nonsense! The screenplay was terrible, stunts were so evidently string-assists, Vivek Oberoi, Arshad Warsi & Sanjay Dutt couldn't act. Sunil Grover's acting was good. Some scenes felt like they were part of a TV show. This is a must "miss".

"What a Waste of Time, What a Waste of Movie, What a Waste of Acting." I regret my decision that I watched this movie. Minus the Crew- After this movie is done, you will be left cursing two persons- 1. The Director. 2. The Stunt Director. Director seems to be overexcited in creating this movie thinking that audiences likes such ridiculous actions and the stunt director has a nice sense of humor who must have failed every year in Physics. Hats off to Vivek Oberoi for another Worst Performance. I wonder how that guy pulls up such dead expressions on screen and calls himself an actor! Paresh Rawal is completely Wasted. Sanjay Dutt is like nobody gives a damn to him again. Only Arshad Warsi tries a bit to impress all but in the end it is the whole group who fails. You will be bored seeing in redundancy how each and every member of Vivek's family keep dying and his red eyes filled with revenge until next day he is seen riding a Rajdoot or walking ostentatiously with no sense of realism. Also I have a severe doubt- Which news channel shows a gang leader walking with style? The whole movie was misplaced and whole audience was misunderstood by each and every crew of this film.
