Baadshaho

This movie doesn't live up to acting abilities of Ajay Devgn,Emraan Hashmi & Sanjay Mishra. Director Milan Luthria narrated a half cooked story with most ambiguous climax scene I've ever imagined. Illeana D'Cruz & Esha Gupta are terrible actresses. They proved me right once again. That's why both of them were mostly signed in multi-starer movies. Vidyut Jambval was average but underutilized not only as an actor but also as a stunts-man. Even Sharad Kelkar's performance was better than Emran Hashmi's because Hashmi's character didn't get as many lines as expected.

Ajay Devgn barely speaks in the movie and repeats "Char din" dialogue monotonously every time, when he appears on screen. If you people are genuine fans of Emraan & Ajay then please don't promote this awful dish disguised as a feature film. That sandstorm scene in the end was like the last nail in the coffin...

Yes, the film is over-wrought, melodramatic and designed as pulp fiction. But it's intermittently fun. Don't wear a microscopic lens, don't be over analytical and you'll definitely enjoy the flick.

Beyond literature,movies bear myth-making abilities. The medium is too recent to judge for its place in history. But we already have films like Mughal-e-Azam or Sholay that appear mythologies to rival epics in public consciousness. So,emergency, is one such chapter that entices us with the mystery. The subject is immediately exhilarating still. As is this film.

The character of Bhawani is beautifully sketched. The actor before you is Ajay Devgn. And here is what I personally feel about him. Very few actors in mainstream films manage a self-assured, under-stated swagger, convey so much silently, sometimes just with their glance and droopy eyes. It's a camera art. Sr. Bachchan saab has perfected it as the 'angry young man'. Devgn, you can tell, is his fine successor.

Luthria has managed to recreate eras that connect with audiences. This time his attempt to create the Rajasthan in the 70s is not perfect yet commendable. rightly recreates retro from the '70s. He focuses right on all the low angles of the shots; and trumpets for a background score; but most importantly in the sense of the big screen.His smart dialogue gives you a feel of living in that period. But once again, Luthria could have been much better.

Finally, all departments contribute in making this a watch worthy film (if not as memorable as OUTIM). I did have good time with friends and that what you care for at the end of the day.

He collects men with muscles and women with great bodies, and packs them off to the deserts of Rajasthan on the pretext of a thriller. But apart from loading the pack with guns, silly dialogues and twisted personalities, and investing in the celebrated Sunny Leone's raunchy moves along with a ginormous truck, Luthria forgets he needs a story to fit them all in. Instead, he obediently plays to the gallery and glorifies his macho men by parading them in slow-mo shots that are tuned to a blaring background score. High on macho-ism and low on logic or reason, Baadshaho unfortunately remains a BAD SHOW.

Luthria could have taken Baadshaho to a higher level. In addition to some compelling action, also on the plus side is the real-life mystery of the wealth that is intelligently handled; there are no filmy 'usual' resolves to the conflict, which again is a bold move. The boldest is how Luthria and Devgn give screen space for all - Vidyut Jamwal, for example; he often steals the scene. Every actor does justice to his/her roles. Stronger writing with less of the repetitive lines, firmer editing, and more realistic approach to the central narrative without the predictable invincibility of the protagonists could have made Baadshaho a more compelling film. For now, it is strictly time-pass.

Don't go by the ratings, this is a crap movie, a total waste of time. I don't write reviews professionally but I'm compelled to warn you after wasting my time and money.

Ajay Devgn,Emraan Hashmi & Sanjay Mishra are far better actors than what they did in this Milan Luthria's directorial failure. They couldn't depict the era according to the movie plot. It was full of shortcomings from the very start and add to it the most ambiguous climax.

It seemed like the acting talent and the plot was wasted very badly by monotonous repetitive dialogues and flawed sequences.

This film has a lot of "style" and "substance"; slick in sepia-toned, sandy Rajasthan. :). You will enjoy this heist-action film despite the apparent flaws.Baadshaho strikes a perfect balance between story and swagger. It's gripping; however, the pace loses steam post-interval. Nevertheless, other departments are good enough to pull the film until the climax.

Most films give enough mind space to predict what will happen next; they also present an opportunity to think on whether or not you are enjoying a film. Baadshaho doesn't give you much of a chance to think about how you are feeling about the film and succeeds in keeping you guessing about the next twist in a good way – but only in the first half.

Every time Bhavani (Ajay Devgn) and his gang get into a troublesome and complicated situation, you think of the many ways that they will uncomplicate. The film surprises with its solution and that's the beauty. This is what we expect from seasoned filmmakers. Unfortunately, the second half just goes loose. Also, I would like to talk about parental guidance -there's loads of Violence and a couple of abusive words. We can seebare-chested men and bare-backed women. The film has a couple of making out scenes.

Coming back to the advantages of this action slick-flick – it has been showcased in an interesting and different setting. Rajasthan in the 70s has been used and the events are planned using the emergency. Characterization and its building is interesting. Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta, Sanjai Mishra, Vidyut Jamwal – have delivered their best. The surprise element was Ileana D'cruz - her character is of a shrewd ruler and she is convincing.

For the action part, I just need to summarize – it's an Ajay Devgn film!The songs are nice to listen to, and the background score is apt. Dialogues are the highlights; some could go down very well as Bollywood dialogue memories. You can definitely consider this over the weekend.
