Ganapath

Budget of this movie is 200 cr and the day 1 collection is 2.5 cr , day 2 is 2.25 cr ,day 3 is 2.5 cr so around 7 cr is 1st weekend collection and lifetime box office in India seems to wrap around around 17-18 cr. So oneof the biggest box office failure and bomb. I think this much budget is really used or just dikha Diya to convert over b***k money to wh**e and same things I doubt of adipurush movie. Audience did good justice to this movie. The makers were so confidence that they even announced ganapath 2 , I think desperate to change colour of movie and may thought thoda thik thak average bhi kama le toh ganapath 2 banakar nikal du woh bhi.

Ganapath (2023) : Movie Review -

Ganapath Review: Vikas Bahl teams up with Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Amitabh Bachchan for the first action film of his career, "Ganapath". Maybe it's not just his genre. Not his game at all. The filmmaker has a solid history of Chillar Party, Queen, and Super 30, but then he has the likes of Shaandar and Goodbye too. Ganapath may comfortably sit in the latter's club. It's a futuristic world, alright, but since we don't know what's going to happen in the future, Bahl also didn't know anything. With no reference or knowledge about the future in his hands, Bahl dreams of an action adventure that falls short of almost every aspect of filmmaking. It's good to see Tiger trying something new and also to see national award-winner Kriti supporting him in the same, but as we know, a film is not an individual's efforts. Ganapath falls as a whole experience.

Set in a future timeline, Ganapath is about rich people taking over the poor people's world. Dalpati (Amitabh Bachchan) predicts that the poor will have their messiah, the fighter Ganapath. Years later, Guddu (Tiger Shroff) is working as an assistant for a fighting gambler. He has an affair with his boss' GF, so the boss cuts him out with death. However, Guddu is saved by one of the gang members, who realises that Guddu is the Messiah Ganapath, for whom they have been waiting for years. Guddu is sent to poor people's land, and he meets Shiva and Jassi (Kriti Sanon). With proper training, Guddu transforms into Ganapath, a mercenary who sets out on a mission to safeguard his people from a notorious syndicate headed by Dalini (the boss of the evil whose face is revealed at the end).

Written by Vikas Bahl, Ganapath's script lacks newness, novelty, prime factor, and sometimes even basic sense. They were set out to create a dystopian world but ended up making a regular humdrum MMA fighting game. Is that their idea of a futuristic world? There should have been something new, something unique, something unseen, and something unheard of. Alas, there is the same world again except for the animated city of rich people while the poor ones live in mountains-something similar to the Mad Max world, as Tiger says. Also, the tapori language was completely unnecessary. It's a mismatch, you see. The screenplay dabbles, and how! You can see it yourself since I am not giving away any spoilers.

On the positive side, Tiger Shroff was seen doing something different. But again, the writing spoiled many things for him and his character. Those flip-ups and stunts are not new to any Tiger Shroff fan. So basically, it's a world that's not new. Kriti, on the other hand, enters with a bang as her entry scene is kick A.. Desi Lara Croft, or whatever you call it, which later turns into a typical abla naari. Big B Amitabh Bachchan shines in a cameo role that sets the base for Ganapath's story. Elli AvrRam looks hot in a blink-and-miss cameo, and the same is the case with Shruthy Menon. Girish Kulkarni, Ziad Bakri, Jameel Khan, and Rahman add decent support with their overly made-up characters.

Ganapath has a mixed-music album. Jai Ganesha is a great number. It feels so freaking amazing on the big screen. It's stimulating and energetic. Sadly, other songs don't have the same magic (including raps), and they fall flat. The cinematography gives a few good frames of this VFX-driven world that's nothing noticeable. Ganapath's dialogue may hit the chords with a certain section of the audience. Words like Humne mast pela, Maine Khela, Meri hatati hai, Life me kuch karne ka, and all don't seem plausible to my idea of a new-age action film, but who knows? The town is full of masses speaking the same language every day. It's their own tongue, after all. There were certain expectations from Vikas Bahl, as he was making a dystopian and high-tech action entertainer, and that too a two-part series. Unfortunately, all those expectations are buried with Ganapath. It might have worked with a different approach, but somehow things just didn't add up well. Everything went wrong, from the script to the execution. An ambitious project with such a high budget deserved a better outcome, for sure.

RATING - 3/10*

I find it hard to believe that someone came up with the idea for this movie, pitched it to a producer, got the funding to make the movie and released it in theaters as if it wasn't the most embarrassing thing one would have their name attached to. It's more plausible that this movie was simply a front for some good ol' fashioned money laundering. 200 crore budget? I wonder where it went.

And forget those involved, because I myself was embarrassed for just watching the movie. It's inexcusably soulless, and you can tell that even the people who worked on this movie couldn't care enough to give a hoot about it. Seriously, this is the only movie I've ever seen in my entire life where a greenscreen shot was accidentally left in unedited. And I don't blame the VFX team for not caring (which throughout the movie you can tell they clearly didn't), cos let's be honest... With a project as horrible as this, who could?

Stupid movie. Fell asleep in it. No storyline, bad action, no logic. Skip it and don't waste your money. 0 stars. Graphics are bad too. I'm a tiger fan but this movie is a flop. Movie makes no sense. I'm embarrassed for the actors participating in this movie. It has nothing to offer. All this movie is just tiger kicking around and showing off his dance moves at random times. If you want to watch this movie then watch it at home. Don't waste your time at the movie theater. I am laughing at how bad this movie is. I am shocked they made such a bad movie. Only good thing about this movie is kriti sanon but even she couldn't save the movie.

Bad Acting Worse Story Worst VFX Please don't Watch As a fan of Tiger I went and I thought the director is vikas bahl who has a good movies in his bucket but Disappointed 😞

When I first heard about the film starring Tiger Shroff and directed by Vikas Bahl, I had high hopes. After all, both Shroff and Bahl have proven themselves in the industry with their previous work. However, "Bad Acting," "Worse Story," and "Worst VFX" are the words that come to mind after watching this film.

First and foremost, the acting in the movie leaves much to be desired. Tiger Shroff, known for his incredible physical abilities and charisma, seemed like a mismatch for the poorly written character he portrayed. The lack of depth in his role made it challenging for him to showcase his talent. It's a shame to see such potential wasted on a weak character.

The story, or lack thereof, is another glaring issue. The plot feels like a mishmash of clichés from countless other action films. There's a predictable love story, a revenge subplot, and some generic villains. It's a shame that a talented director like Vikas Bahl couldn't breathe life into this tired narrative. The lack of creativity in storytelling is evident, and it's a disservice to the audience.

As for the visual effects (VFX), it's astounding how poorly executed they are. In today's cinema, audiences have come to expect a certain level of realism in VFX. Unfortunately, this film falls short in that department. The action sequences, which should have been the film's strong suit, suffer from unconvincing and low-quality effects. It's clear that not enough attention or budget was allocated to this critical aspect of the film.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this film to anyone, even die-hard Tiger Shroff fans. It's a letdown on multiple fronts - from the lackluster acting to the uninspired storytelling and the abysmal VFX. It's a classic case of a potentially great movie gone terribly wrong. As a fan of both Tiger Shroff and Vikas Bahl, it's disheartening to see them associated with such a lackluster project. Save your time and money and skip this one. There are far better films out there worth your attention.
