User reviews

Golondaaj movie is very average movie. This film have story but screenplay is not up to the mark. Screenplay is very average. Zero entertainment. Dev performance is good but the main theme of the film is the story of the film which is not in this film. Just one time watchable movie.

Golondaaj is just what the ailing Bengali movie industry needed to get back on its feet in these trying times. It is not a masterpiece by any yardstick, but it gets the job done nicely and makes you root and clap for the underdogs as they beat the tyrants in their own game. Really, what else do you need?

While the screenplay is nothing extraordinary, Dhruba Banerjee's crisp direction keeps things taut and breezy for the most part. At 150 minutes the film feels a bit stretched with too many slo-mo shots. But there is a lot to admire in Golondaaj. The film looks grand, has a rousing score (kudos to Pandit Bickram Ghosh) that elevates the key scenes beautifully. Even though the staging of the song Vande Mataram is a bit over the top, I'll be lying if I say that the song did not give me goosebumps. And while the usual sports movie tropes are there, the climactic David vs Goliath battle will leave you overwhelmed.

Because of its scale and grandeur, a film like Golondaaj needed a superstar like Dev. He is still not the best actor around, but he throws himself completely into the part and sincerely tries his best. The result is a dedicated, earnest performance that the actor can show off proudly. Anirban Bhattacharya gets a cracker of a introduction but is there only in bits and pieces. While he still manages to leave his mark, the inner Anirban fan in me wished he had something more to do. Ishaa M. Saha looks ethereal, but has precious little to do. Alexx O'Nell as Captain Jackson is first rate, as is Indrasish Roy as Jitendra. All the other actors are good in their respective roles.

Overall Golondaaj is the perfect Pujo blockbuster. It is an enjoyable, immersive theatrical experience that exceeded my expectations by flying colours. A fitting tribute to the legendary Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari- Golondaaj deserves a watch in the big screen. Strongly recommended.

Watching a man improvising from making mediocre south indian copies to creating such all time great

It's been a long and tough journey

Hoping to get more such movies from the Bengali film industry in recent years.

This new movie is outstanding BGM and story. CGI is outstanding. This new movie is musical movie. Direction execution amazing and first half so outstanding second half is good. Editing so beautiful. Best performance Dev carrier.

It is a very good movie considering Bengali cinema. BGM was great. I liked the movie and everyone's acting was perfect. All in all a great movie.

Better than usual Bengali craps. Ishaa Saha was the best followed by Srikanta Acharya. Dev did what he was given within limited script. If you are pissed off with Bengali movies you can watch it for a change.

Outstanding performance by dev. VFX is also pretty good (comparing to the budget of bengali cinema). Music is totally on fire. Some scenes can really give you goosebumps. It's a must watch film for everyone. :)

Expectations built up quite high but after watching the film totally disappointed, lack of research work, slow untidy screenplay, poor editing and coloring, music was brilliant, average acting skills, poor expressions, its look like every one is trying to act except that foreign villain, so poor executions all around. Pathetic, great opportunity lost due to proper practice.

One of the finest films made in bengali cinema in the recent years. The performance of the actors, the music, the direction, dialogues everything was good about the film. Anirban bhattacharya and ishaa we're so good in their roles. Alexx o nell played the best villain. And coming to dev, he is the heart of the film. His acting skills, dialogue have reached a different level. Dhrubo banarjee have given a wonderful direction. Special mention to bickram for the soul full musics. Overall a perfect mass+class film. Everyone should watch it in the movie theaters. ❤❤

I would say it's one of the best film for Dev, from screen play to acting everything was fine.

This kind of movie never happened previously in the Bengali industry.

Climax of the movie was extremely good.

Dev is just extraordinary in this movie. One of the best film in his career. This kind of movie should be made more in this industry.

Rest of the actors are also very good.

Please go and watch Golondaz.

Outstanding movie by dhrubo banerjee and his company dev is looking very good anirban perform well in the movie....over all its a must watch film who are football lovers....shooting will be done outstanding

Jai hind jai bharat jai bangla.

Attempt no doubt is good, but failed to execute or failed to reach the top level mark. Weak and boring screenplay, some scenes makes confusions all over, truly expectations were high, but after watching the film became sad, brave attempt but lack of proper planning, rehearsal. Heart Broken.

Golondaj is one of the finest art from Dev and his company. Feeling proud to review as a Bengali. Everyone should watch this love 😘 from Malda.

Jai Bangla Jai Hind.

Awesome performance by the whole cast . Just spellbound.

I would like to inform that, This film is a institutionalized for cine students. From Music to BGM...from Shoot too Cinematography is absolutely perfect. I WISH FILM GET A HUGE SUCCESS. DEV YOU ARE ON TOP ORDER.

Simply best, no word to say and describe this movie🔥❤. One of the greatest movie in bengali film history ❤ Dev da is just ❤🔥. And all thanks to Dhruva da ❤.

Yes!! This film is one of the finest historical drama.. it's a great tribute to Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikari... The father of Indian Football.. Yes the screenplay could be better, I agree.. but the acting given by each actor deserve appreciation... And the sound track... That is too good... And off course the content, the story... That is the best part... And it's a kind of film u can go and enjoy with your friends as well as family! This kind of film is a historical lesson to all , and that is being presented as such a entertainment! Don't miss it! It's a must-watch film!!

I have never seen a movie like this in long time. Everyone is overacting in this movie making it hilarious. I went to watch it after seeing good reviews. Either all reviewer are Dev fan or all of them haven't seen good movie. If you want to watch comedy over real story then watch.

Those who rated poor ratings and also providing bad reviews are probably not watched the movie. Thay are most probably are the haters of dev and bangla movie.please go and watch this movie you will know how much Worth it to watch golandaaaz!🔥

The way production company creates buzz there is a high expectations but the end product is disappointing, in one word directorial failure, not up to the mark. The big opportunity lost. Missing the excitement, tension throughout the film, poor editing, lack of tidiness, seems to look tired efforts.

Fool are the ones who compare Golondaaj with Lagaan. Give the bengali directors 100 crores & they'll do wonders. Golondaaj is a must watch. Brilliant performance by the entire team. Music is top notch. Hat's off Dhruba Banerjee.
