Featured reviews
This movie promised a lot at the beginning but faltered after Ajay Devgan's introduction. One of the main reasons is the unnecessary songs that just disrupt the flow of the movie. I see this happening with many Bollywood movies and it's just plain annoying. Nevertheless, since Qayamat is digitally rendered, it looks very good on the big screen. The story is lifted off The Rock(1996), but fails to grip the viewer as much as The Rock did. The Rock was not only entertaining, but also full of tension. Qayamat did not provide any of that to me. The acting was just about OK, with the sole exception of Ajay Devgan. This movie was a hit, so a lot of credit should be given to Devgan. He hits all the right points at the right time and provides exactly the kind of crowd-pleasing-ass-kickin'-tour-de-force that is needed to carry a movie like this. Suniel Shetty does a commendable job, but the rest of the cast have nothing to be proud of. I thought the trio of Arbaaz-Sanjay-Isha just got annoying toward the later stages. If there was one thing this movie could be proud of, it's Allan Amin's action sequences. Though ripped off many Hollywood action movies, the action is great and the time and effort put into those sequences has really paid off. Overall, this movie can be watched once, but not more. 6/10.
This movie has a big cast but meaningless storyline and the worst thing is it's not an original story. This is a copy of the Hollywood movie, the Rock.
Sunil shetty's acting made me laugh, he tried to look serious but it was funny to see him make a copy movie. The villains were many times worst. The directors chose two flop actors. I had to keep forwarding just to laugh at the end. And Ajay Devgan as Sean Connery's copy was a big joke. They didn't make the lab scene very real, it looked so fake. Every one's acting was a fake and not enjoyable to watch. You just had to laugh even more when they throw songs into it
Did you see Sean Connery dancing around trees?
Highly unrecommended. Don't waste your time with this movie.

This movie is awesome! With a movie boasting of a big, talented cast, every character is excellently developed. The idea of threatening Mumbai with biological weapons is very interesting and scary. The Sanjay-Isha-Arbaaz terrorist trio is also a completely new and unheard of concept. There is a good portion of romance but placed such that it does not blur away the action/suspense. Songs are fabulous, especially the "Qayamat" track. Although the jail seems to be inspired heavily from Alcatraz, this is a sleek, intelligent film.
Qayamat is heavilly borrowed from Hollywood Hit The Rock. Ajay Devgan plays the Sean Connery character who is heart broken and silent, it looks pathethic. Sunil Shetty is one of the Indian army who goes over the top with his unrealistic action scenes. The person that plays Nicholas Cage is unknown actor Aashish Choudhury, in a very weak performance. The positive side of this film has to be the Sexy Actresses. Introducing the Very Sexy Neha Duphia looking delicious. There is also the very sexy Riya Sen looking Hot as ever. Qayamat has entertaining villains, the chemistry between Arbaaz Khan, Sanjay Kapoor and Isha Kopikar is Enjoyable. The movie does have some fun moment. The Songs are quite enjoying. Overall this movie is a good time pass. Thanks a lot for the Girls of the film.
This is an excellent movie for anyone who watches a lot of Indian movies, but not a lot of Hollywood movies. Thats because its a rip-off of 'The Rock'. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not watched 'The Rock'. There were some unnecessary special effects in this movie that were annoying sometimes. I would give it a 2 out of 5.
