Why? God why?
sajid-429051 November 2019
I don't understand how this movie was made. How come Karan Johar bankrolled this one? And why is it on Netflix?

Movie is very very bad in terms of writing, directing and horrible dubbing and sound mixing. Feels like the makers had given up on this movie long ago.

The only good thing about this movie is gorgeous Jacqueline. It's hard to take your eyes off here.

Mother of plot twists
noaman46 December 2019
Movie is an inspiration for all street racing drivers. Fast and furious series is nothing compared to this movie. And don't even get me started on the plot twists. I mean mind blown.. 10 out of 10.

Superb acting skills. Definitely should be nominated for an Oscar

Excellent CGI. Better than AAA video games

Amazing characterization

Did I mention plot twists?

criste-montero3 November 2019
When i was watching the movie i couldnt get race 3 stupid twists from my mind .. this one went through the exact same way .. specially with jaq role which was very similar to her character in race 3 ....

Both movies should be avoided for the safty of ur brain

Perfect example of what happens to a film when it gets delayed
dhairyawanomkar1 November 2019
Drive, as we all know it, has got considerably delayed due to reasons best known to its makers. This fact has entirely ruined the movie. A storyline with so many plot twists could have been a canvas large enough to showcase a smart heist however it's all down the drain due to uninteresting screenplay, pathetic CGI (Need for Speed games have a better CGI and story), awful dubbing (you can actually see that the characters are speaking something else but the dubbing is entirely different) and bad action choreography. The director attempted a bold move by moving to an action genre after his debut movie which was a typical KJo level masala, but has miserably failed.

Speaking about the efforts of actors, one can't review Jacqueline's performance because there ain't any. Sushant Singh had next to no scope in this one (all thanks to all the negatives mentioned above). Even stalwarts like Boman Irani and Pankaj Tripathi couldn't save the fall since their talent was badly used.

Thank god this movie didn't see the light of theatres other wise, it would have been a waste of parts and audiences money.

All in all, you can watch it if there's no better work to do. But if you do have something, then you can surely think to DRIVE pass this one without even a glimpse.

Kjo should be banned from making movies
shramikharsora3 November 2019
Nothing original. It was a combination of fast and furious,Dhoom and Stupidity. Very Bad dialogues and very stupid plot.

If IMDb had a zero rating, Drive would get it.
ronakkotian13 April 2020
Drive is honestly one of the most incompetent films I have ever seen. Whilst it is terrible on every single level, I enjoyed this film because of that.

Drive follows a group of street racers that decide to commit a heist and along the way face deceit and betrayal.

I can't deny how much fun I had watching this film. Everything is executed in the worst way possible that I couldn't contain my laughter. It's baffling to see a movie like this being made. Before Drive came out, I was actually excited about but the constant delays really made me worry. Then the trailer came out and it had some of the worst VFX work ever. The (un)finished product had the same problem. I don't understand why they decided to use visual effects for the chase scenes rather than doing it practically. IT LOOKS INCREDIBLY BAD!!! The film also has extremely obnoxious editing. The cutting and scene transitions were trying to make it look stylish but to me, it shows how inept the editor was.

The film is written and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, who previously made Dostana. Dostana was nowhere near perfection but at least it wasn't as stupid as Drive. I don't know what he was thinking because the story is simply atrocious. This film is trying to act as if it's extremely clever but it's not at the slightest. There are many twists and turns which get tiresome and make no sense. Not only that, Drive has the most random song placements in a Bollywood film. There is this whole montage where the main characters go to Israel for absolutely no reason. They could have taken out that whole part from the film and it would have made no difference.

It's also surprising to see the amount of talent on-screen being wasted. I like Sushant Singh Rajput. He is a good actor but he's terrible here. Rajput constantly gives these smirky looks with his face. I don't know why?! There also talented actors like Boman Irani and Pankaj Tripathi that are COMPLETELY wasted. Everyone's acting is disgraceful.

I now understand why Drive was thrown into Netflix. I think they gave up after the amount of times they had to delay the film and just decided to release it on Netflix. This film fails on everything. There is not one redeeming factor I can think of. Drive is unquestionably the worst film of 2019 and one of the worst films I've ever seen in my entire life.

Great Joke!
saurav-verma721 November 2019
A great comedy movie, only problem is that it was not supposed to be one. Bad Graphics(Cartoon Network Material) Bad Races(Good Joke though) No storyline, literally none.

A sheer disappointment!

10 stars only for Sushant
smitajoshi-7772319 June 2020
This was the only movie of #SSR I had not seen so watched for him only. Can totally understand why this movie casted him and why it was released on OTT. May the producers rot in hell.

Better than SAAHO
jvmugeshkumar29 July 2020
Watch it for sushant. If you like fast and furious franchise then you can try this. If stunts & CGI worked well then this movie would been a good movie, though it will not be boring but it has ton of logical mistakes. Cinematography & Music is ok. Definitely you can watch it for timepass.

Disgrace
ashutoshaswaleho1 November 2019
Performance wise it's nowhere near the original, the original one had a charm of gosling and background score was just perfection. I'm disappointed in Netflix to ruin this. Disaster starts from the casting. I am really disappointed.

Worst Movie Ever
pratish-sanghvi1 November 2019
1) Sushant Singh has worn loud pink and red lipstick in most scenes. I think the makeup map mistook him with Jacqueline. 2) He is trying to immitate SRK so bad that the latter should cry watching this movie 3) Movie shot on such shoe string budget that Cars used in racing scenes are Swift and Nano. 4) Another adding to the former, racing sequences are so badly shot and since they didn't have a CGI budget in many scenes they have used screenshots of 1990s racing video games. 5) No logic no sense in story, the loopholes are more than dialogues. 6) It seems their accomodation to Israel was sponsored by Israel tourism. The whole song was shot by a selfie cam. 7) Did Big Boys Toys produce the movie? I'm guessing the budget would be less than equivalent to the price of one of his luxury cars tyres. 8) I'm guessing everyday before shooting, Jacqueline and Sushant woul binge watch Money Heist.

Waste of time
utkarshkarpate1 November 2019
No story, pathetic action, racing scenes could not be more badly shot like you will see in this movie. Jaqueline should consider giving up acting and instead sit on a throne in some laughter show. Same twist in the end as in all con movies. Do something fresh guys..

Capsule Review: Drive (3 Stars)
nairtejas1 November 2019
Drive begins like a wannabe Dhoom (2004) and ends like a dumber version of Dhoom 3 (2013). But without the imaginative prowess that these more popular Bollywood heist films at least had as director Tarun Mansukhani comes out of his cave after ten years to create a slipshod action drama based on street racing and gold heists with cardboard characters. For a Netflix production, it has a nauseating setup, terrible CGI, and most importantly, substandard cars - all of which take the fun out of watching the movie in just the first ten minutes. I mean it's grotesque to see all the usual tropes in the first few minutes of a film which is aggravated by poor performance by its cast; it almost feels like a poorly directed telefilm of the early 2000s. For a film whose x-factor is cars Drive has stupid-looking versions of Maruti Swift, Hyundai Verna, and Tata Nano in the spotlight. Well, I can hand it to the makers for not internationalizing it (till the first half) but I would expect at least some help from Dilip Chhabria. Even the gold bars - which are the central plot element that the characters are vying for here - look like cardboard versions that schoolkids make for annual project competition. There's a lot of thing wrong with Drive and they are all so awfully unaesthetic and out-of-place watching it becomes a form of self-hurting. I do not recommend it at all even if you are a fan of the lead actors who do nothing but disappoint with their unpolished dialogue delivery. It almost felt like I was watching Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez read out their lines with zero rehearsal or direction from Mansukhani. Easily the most ambitious failure of 2019. TN.

Bogus Movie 👎
Tejas_Vinda_AITS1 November 2019
Drive is influenced from Hollywood films..., featuring sharp racing, sleek cars, Girls in Bikini, and clever 'chors', but a very bad one.

Sushant Singh Rajput and Jacqueline Fernandez both r *Dud* Actors..!!

Drive is so pointless that one wonders why on earth it is on a streaming platform. That is a mystery.

Cleaned my eyes with harpic
archit-pal23 November 2019
The lowest rating I have ever given to any movie till now. Such a poor writing, worst cinematography etc etc what can I say. Terrible performance and acting by Jacqueline, what can we expect from her. I don't know why Sushant Singh choose this film WHY!! CGI is horrible, far worse than mobile games.

Nice movie.
linkinparkstyle16 June 2020
Sad, it wasn't launch on big screen. Now they should launch it and give tribute to late Shushant singh. I would like to give 10 marks for Shushant's overall performance in Bollywood. I loved your Kai Po Che, MS Dhoni, Kedarnath, Chhichhore. May your soul Rest In peace. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Would have been better if Yash Raj films produced it
sanjuparampil28 July 2020
This movie has both pros and cons. As a viewer, entertainment is the main thing that I am looking for, and this movie has fulfilled that sole purpose. Ratherwise looking at the direction, screenplay and special effects ,I can barely give an average rating. SSR gave a considerable performance while other actors were so poor including the protagonist Jacqueline Fernandez. The plot however gave unexpected twists till the end of the movie which helped me to watch till the end. This movie had great potential to be something like Dhoom or NFS, but the people behind the movie were responsible for its loss.

Disappointing
vijayshankar-958621 November 2019
Its extremely difficult to dissapoint someone when their expectations are low, but SOMEHOW this movie was able to accomplish this. Bad editing and dubbing. The VFX artists looked like they were underpaid. Watch it for the comedy because you'll be laughing AT the movie. Not WITH it.
