Bullett Raja

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 !!

Tigmanshu Dhulia is back with a gripping story-line and crisp dialogs that hold your attention throughout the movie.Shots from all famous places in and around Lucknow...from Imambara,Hazratganj,Residency,Airport,High Court to Malihabad and Barabanki jail have been captured. Jimmy Sheirgill is excellent and Saif shines as Raja Mishra.They both give performances worthy of giving them nomination in next year's award functions. Wherein all the actors from Raj Babbar to Gulshan Grover suit in their respective roles, however Mahi Gill looks vulgar and Vidyut Jamwal, with a wooden face has nothing more to showcase except few circus stunts. A special mention for the peppy number Tamanche Pe Disco. You will love the movie for its desi dialects (provided you understand their meaning) and for Saif Ali Khan. Go For It.

With only the climax decorating itself as a savior, Tigmanshu Dhulia disappoints, big time. With accordance to what his movies have been flaunting lately, Bullett Raja lies nowhere near and when even the cast cannot help the film, it can be only best described as "below average."

Starting off with an instant bonhomie between Saif Ali Khan & Jimmy Sheirgill, the plot is about a duo fighting for politicos. Then they outmatch everybody in their line of work and eventually try to salvage their existence when adversaries kick in. What the writers have tried to do here is take up an underworld topic which has been sampled hundreds of times before, and mix it up with glam & emotions and send it out in a twisty plot. The output? Nothing much entertaining, but not boring either.

The performances are good and the casting, thank heavens, apt for an action film, but use of unnecessary songs and dialogs which feel like they were created out of insomnia just won't work anymore. It is high time I ask the question to the makers that how long should I bear this stupidity and not expect something new & fresh?

Yes, this film goes out of bullets even before the intermission and just so to remind who the film is by, we have a wonderful climax worth watching. But, then again, there is nothing new. For crying out loud, Bullett Raja is an utter disappointment by the man who can do much, much better. (What was Vidhyut Jamwwal doing here?)

BOTTOM LINE: A bullet-infested drama with a shallow plot under the disguise of heavy action. Not recommended! Wait for DTH and check out the climax, per se.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
