Bullett Raja

Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Bullett Raja' is An Ordinary Fare, that works only till it lasts. Though engaging in parts & superbly acted, this gangster-flick lacks sharp writing. One Expected More!

'Bullett Raja' Synopsis: A common man who transforms into a gangster revolts against the very system he once obediently followed by declaring war on the police, the government, and the industrialists.

'Bullett Raja' begins nicely & holds its momentum efficiently up-to interval. The second-hour is unconvincing, with most sequences lacking pace or sharpness. Even the twist in the climax isn't smart, but rather predictable. The Screenplay has merit in its first-hour, which is pretty interesting, but the second-hour disheartens. Tigmanshu Dhulia's Direction is passable. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design are adequate. Music by Sajid-Wajid is foot-tapping. Action-Sequences are terrific.

Performance-Wise: Saif Ali Khan excels as Raja. He suits the part & stands out with a tough performance. Sonakshi Sinha is nicely restrained in a brief role. Jimmy Shergill is excellent. His on-screen chemistry with Saif is delightful. Vidyut Jamwal is super in a cameo. This dude can do some kick-ass action for real! Gulshan Grover & Ravi Kishan are fabulous. Chunky Pandey is very impressive. Raj Babbar is flawless. Vishwajeet Pradhan is good. Vipin Sharma scores, as well.

On the whole, 'Bullett Raja' offers mild entertainment.

Dir. Mr. Tingmanshu Dhulia has taken a confused take on this political drama. This is not a film but a project, whether first you decide actors, then some action scenes, some love scenes and a political backdrop to create drama. Eventually no story comes as outcome. Screenplay is predicative besides few scenes. Dialogues by Director himself is very good. Even the opening dialogue of film is very impressive. Film looses logic at most of the places. If, a person thought about another to kill in his home only and the other person has arrived then what is the need to create childish drama, where he eventually kills him through blast? Because another person has few goons with him, so the blast was required and five minutes unnecessary screen time!!? Love between the lead pair is not well established. An I.A.S rank of officer thinks with his body muscles rather than his brain muscles!? He prefers to combat rather than plan, because this actor is good at fight!!! There are lots of things who indicate that role was considered according to actors caliber rather than the flow and requirement of film. A hard core villain pretends to become Radha and Police believe!!! Performance wise Saif Ali Khan is very good. Sonakshi Sinha has not very much scope but she is good. Raj Babber, Gulshan Grover, Jimmy Shergill, Sharat Saxena , Vipin Sharma are OK. Vidyut Jamwal is very good at stunt but not that much good at act. Ravi Kishan is fine. Music is also very average.

was not really expecting much about the story. because it is a spicy movie. but the screenplay should have been much better.. was expecting more good action scene.... but this one not up to point though there is few good action scene. the trailer of the movie let us hope that there will be some very good gun and bullet action, specially by SAIF ALI khan . casting and acting was good. Saif Ali Khan & Jimmy Sheirgill both acted well. Sonakshi Sinha was not really spotlighted on this movie, she has little scope to show her acting capability, though she was not bad in her appearance on screen.

neither boring nor entertaining. overall disappointment. . , .

Some films don't work in spite of a good director and good star cast. Bullet Raja is a perfect case of the above.

Dhulia has directed some fine movies like Haasil, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster and Paan Singh Tomar but here he gets it all wrong. Dhulia as a writer fails here miserably. The story has nothing new to offer. Its starts with an unemployed youth who is forced to enter the world of crime and politics and ends up as a revenge drama.

The story set in the UP heartland could've been easily set in Mumbai or Delhi. Dhulia tries to desperately play the cast card with the protangonist being a Brahmin by caste and showcasing the state of Brahmins in UP but that also doesn't work after one point. Worse, he bumps off one of the main characters in the film in the middle to make it into a revenge drama. And from here the story comes crashing down.

Wht Dhulia fails to see that the Saif's character Raja and Shergill's Character have gr8 chemistry and this could have gr8 film if he would have focused on both the male leads.

Saif is a fine actor and he's the only reason I watched this film till the end. He gets into the character and spots some gr8 lines in the 1st half. Check out the scene in the plane while take off. Some other actor and I would have changed the channel. However, he needs good scripts.

Dhulia's regular Shergill is wasted. He shares some gr8 chemistry with Saif. So is Jamwal, Grover and Ravi Kishen. And I've no words to describe Sonakshi's character. She plays an aspiring actress who starts to live the two gangsters.

Overall a very disappointing affair !!

This is just a movie for Indians who wish to see things that are practically condemned these days around the world. Yes, the classic features and music and dance performances in a "spaghetti western" as other user wrote, but bullets come and go... and overreacting into violence on behalf of the gods... and all the world thinking the fundamentalism violence is exclusive from Muslims.

I saw the promotion done by interviews to the cast and particularly to Saif Khan, when I was living in India. He said he will use real weapons... honestly, you have to be very stupid, and risking the fact that manipulating real guns for films is more expensive and dangerous. But it's for the marketing, and if you believe it, and like it, well, that's the kind of human being you are. Story is entertaining, while the character Raja deals with his new enemies in life and protects damsels in perish.

If you love Indian culture and you still swallow that new age religious manipulated stuff of the spirituality in India, don't watch this movie, because is the reflection of the ideal "macho" Indian version. Which the whole opposite of those fantasies sold by the tourism industry.
