Featured reviews
With all the dumb things being shown in Indian movies, it was time that they bring out something new. When I saw the trailer, I was very eager to see the movie and the movie didn't disappoint me. It is a slow, well written start to a very good , maybe even awesome superhero movie series. Looks like India finally has a superhero. A hint of sequel has been given at the last when the title changes from Bhavesh Joshi to Bhavesh Joshi superhero. Nishikant kamat once again slays. Vikramaditya Motwane is seen bringing a change in the Indian cinema. But yes, this superhero, we don't really deserve. There are 20 shows a day running for a dumb movie like veere di wedding and just 4-5 shows for Bhavesh Joshi. This movie definitely needs to reach the audience.
If there were not some major flaws in the movie like the guy easily hacking immigration site to update his status of boarding a flight to USA,police never enquiring his office whether he is working at the onsite assignment and he roaming around the city taking the risk of police or someone of the goons to see him(let alone his colleagues or friends or friends of friends in the city)......
this movie would have been a perfect treatment of what I would say the first true superhero movie of India..not the childish adaptations like Krish.
Bhavesh Joshi and his friend, Sikku wanted to bring a change and obviously they are not bruce Wayne or Peter Parker or Tony Stark. but what mattered is they tried and here lies the crust of the film--a superhero is one who tries to bring a change even though he may fail doing that.
The treatment of the movie was awesome --acting brilliant! Both the guys enacted Sikku and Bhavesh Joshi perfectly. I tried not to create a spoiler--go watch it if you liked Nolan's adaptation of Batman ( not that are remotely comparable in class but because they tell us superheroes are ordinary human beings like us but they try and care to bring a difference)

We, the indian audience did not treat well to this mind blowing super hero. When it comes to G-one or Krrish, the box office ruled. Even that bloody flying jaat took major attention of audience. sir, Plz will u forgive us and make a sequel or a series for this wonderful character? This genere should be protected. And u are the perfect craftman for that!
And Harshwardhan, u are the biggest hope in the industry. Just luved u man!!! Wish u all the best for ur career!!!

Dear Vikramaditya Motwane,
I know that the number of people who are going to watch this movie in theatre is gonna be very low. But I want to let you know that you have made a masterpiece. Collections doesn't always justify that how much the movie was genuine.
I salute your genuine and honest effort in making this kind of pure cinema. We friends throughout felt that we are reading some kind of dark comics. The pace of movie was perfect.
The superhero was made by trial and error methods. By his hard work and not by some God gift. The reason of becoming him a superhero was totally justifiable. Apart from this, The background music, songs, acting, direction was perfect. No south indian kind of flying action. No murder of Physics. Awesome.
I also see the possibility of sequel, and I hope that you guys makes it.
Superb movie. Despite few ignoreable flaws, I will go with 10/10.
Guys, Go out and watch it in theatre and support such kind of cimena.
