Decent thriller with good music and acting, but more of bollywood style.

For starters, this is a copy of the 1993 Harrison Ford/Tommy Lee Jones starer Fugitive.

The plot is basically the same, the first half drags on with the love story which is made unnecessarily boring with a triangle sub-plot and some typical couple dance numbers.

the movie gains pace in the second half, and the acting by Nagarjuna/Ramya is quite good. Background score is super and haunting and personally my favourite part of the movie.

Overall, its a decent flick.. Fugitive thriller plot + bollywood mirch masala of love triangle and songs.

A movie which was a trend-setter in Telugu movies.

I can see a few people abusing the movie and its director for remaking a English movie.I guess the same people did not even know that this movie was a remake until recently when they realised it. The movie is a nice adaptation from the original and as a moviemaker has to make compromises to satisfy Bollywood and its viewers the movie turns out to be a good thriller for a 1990s timeline. Acting wise Nagarjuna excels in his actions both as a criminal and a doctor. Manisha Koirala and Ramya Krishnan were among the better actresses at that time and are glamorous. The comedy sequences are nicely mixed in between to divert the movie from being too monotonous. Gulshan Grover plays the villain role to perfection. Songs by M.M.Keeravani are a melody ride which are among the best songs in 90s era.

Bhatt is the Criminal for making this...

With Nagarjuna and Koirala in the lead, I was expecting a decent movie. This, unfortunately, was quite bad. Not surprisingly, it sank without a trace at the box office in 1995, despite the star-studded cast.

It's supposed to be a remake of the Fugitive, but did Bhatt even watch the original before supposedly "re-making" it? As with his other films, Bhatt takes a reasonably good story and uses his "magic" to destroy it.

The songs are interspersed at random places in the movie, and, as is usual with Bhatt films, there is always the unnecessary sexuality. Nagarjuna's acting skills are not quite up to the par, and he looks rather tired and old, even beyond whatever is required by his role.

The soundtrack still sounds pretty good, however, but is not quite good enough to redeem the movie.

Horrible rehash of the classic The Fugitive

Criminal is another disastrous movie from one of the greatest copycats of Bollywood- Mukesh Bhatt.

But even replicating most of the scenes from the classic Hollywood flick, The Fugitive couldn't save this film.

The plot is badly handled with lots of unnecessary song and dance. What was the most irritating part was that Criminal contains two heroines. In the original, the plot was based only on the hero and his run from the law till he proves himself innocent. The heroines do nothing substantial for the film. Manisha Koirala was only effective in her last two scenes. But the whole love angle between her and Nagarjuna where she tries to seduce the hero to make him fall in love with her was so irritating. Ramya Krishnan plays the role of a cop but be aware of the fact that she's just a sidekick to Nassar. The role of Tommy Lee Jones in the original is played by Nassar and he was good but again, it's a deja vu kind of thing if you already watched the Fugitive.

The hero, Nagarjuna was terrible. He looked lost and uninterested in front of the camera. He lacks the charm of the charismatic Harrison Ford.

The songs were very displeasing to the ears. 'Tum Mile Dil Khile' is likable in parts but the rest of the songs are horrible.

On the whole, a horrible movie from the Bhatt camp. Avoid!

Horrible copy of Fugitive

Criminal, another movie which was supposed to be inspired by Fugitive is in-fact a horrible re-make of Harrison Ford's terrific thriller Fugitive.In the process of making it look a bit different the director makes a nonsense film with 2 heroines and duets where as in the original there is no character as a heroine.And then the character of Tomy Lee Jones is so mellowed down that it looks nothing more than a traffic constable and this is done just to make the hero look like a superman capable of doing anything.

A worst film in every aspect.

Gaffes
There are ample of loop holes in the court case against Ajay. In real life there would be no way the case could fetch him a death sentence.

1. Cause of Death: Shweta's postmortem report should have revealed that she died of injuries on her head. This should have forced police to look for murder weapon and a simple search of the house should have got them the rod used to attack Shweta. 2. Murder Weapon: Robert used a rod to attack Shweta. After altercation with Ajay Robert left in a hurry and leaves the rod in the house. Police should have founds the rod with Robert's fingerprints on it. Since during the altercation Ajay never touches the rod, it should only have Robert's fingerprints. 3. Watchman's testimony: Watchmen had mistaken Ajay giving CPR for strangling Shweta. Her postmortem report should have confirmed that she died of head injuries and not strangling. This should nullify watchman's testimony. 4. Phone recording: The phone recording should have recorded altercation between Ajay and Robert and also Ajay's attempt to revive Shweta. 5. Shweta's Property: Police's accusation Ajay of killing Shweta for money would not stand in court. Shweta had already transferred her property to Ajay beforehand. Ajay did not have to kill Shweta for her money as her being alive or dead would have no consequences on the property. Also Ajay himself was from a wealthy family. 6. Death sentence is rare: Even if every evidence was overlooked court still would not have given death sentence to Ajay. Such extreme sentences are given for very brutal murders and to hard core criminals.
