Don't expect too much

[sameerlodaya · 5/10 · 18 March 2022]

Sameer lodaya

This movie is the remake of South Indian movie gaddalakonda ganesh but as trailer reveals don't expect too much

This time Akshay has tried a different role rather than his last social heroic roles but he carried and played this character very well with kirti arshad and Pankajji

The prosthetics of Akshay like his ceramic eyeball his costumes his jewellery and aesthetics like his vintage car along with his stylish walk made the outlook of the character very strong..the movie is hilarious with tangy dialogues

The negative parts are firstly the songs which are not hitting the charts ..secondly the movie could be more hilarious but it was wasted in building pandeys character and other commercial aspects like love story ,mother son disturbed relation and revenges ..thirdly Pankajji was less explored and came in late second half.. fourthly the climax was a typical Hindi movie..fifth the movie is released with ongoing hit the Kashmir files

Watch this for commercial entertainment.

Originality is Unalive in Bollywood

[AbhiSh4ke · 4/10 · 20 March 2022]

Bacchan panday is Hindi remake of a telgu remake which is remake of a kannada remake of a South Korean movie, thus proving my point. Now the South Koreans have a certain panash in their characters they actually pay writers to create intresting characters with deep personalities but in Bollywood land of unpaid writing interns and samji and nadiawala this is a distant dream. Won't lie Akshay is good in movie but his character is as plain as it gets like you saw everything intresting about this movie in its trailer. The days of solo carry stars are long gone it's time that Bollywood actually invests in original scripts with depth. Also request to audience look at writers & Directors not actors before deciding on a movie, it may save you a few bucks.

Devoid of Tangible Drama and a Strong Emotional Base

[SoumikBanerjee1996 · 4/10 · 15 April 2022]

A story that has already been put together in three different ways by three different industries before; it was indeed a hefty challenge this time for the creators of Bollywood to add their own touch, their own mannerisms into it. Despite obvious adjustments and some fundamental amendments done to the script, the outcome still hasn't turned out in a way you might expect.

Now, let me ask you a simple question. What do "Mass" entertainers need the most? Tons of action? Some great dialogues perhaps? Or a strong base of emotions? I'm sure in your answer, you would be picking at least one of these characteristics. If that's the case, stay away. Why? Well, to put it bluntly, Bachchhan Pandey has got none of it. Barring the ever charismatic Akshay Kumar and a stupendously humoristic Pankaj Tripathi; there's hardly anything worthy of a mention over here.

No story, no logic no acting

[anuraggaur16 · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

It's a joke of a movie, it's so weird that in this age of intellect and creativity.. people can make a movie like this . Never expected Akshay to make a movie like this what a waste ..

One of the dumbest illogical movie ever(First of all taking remake but have no idea of what makes story)

[rohitreviews · 1/10 · 19 March 2022]

First you build a character of director who wants to make movie, sure good enough. Then she fools her own best friend Arshad Warsi, not giving the role in the script and than the whole emotions for a possible conflict is thrown away.

Then we build a story of Akshay Kumar, and even unnecessary love story, fuses story of Rangastalam movie's ending and fool him to make him be a caricature of his own personality.

And the director who makes movies, should be understanding character have no sensible understanding of how the gangster really is. Seriously!

The Kriti Senon as a Director got to be more dumb than whole people who have no ground reality situation.

They used 3 4 film's story from Tamil to Telugu's two different movies and made KACHARAA FILM.. It's seriously one of the stupiest film ever. There is seriously some problem with writer, direction.

Waste of time

[bengalicinelover · 18 March 2022]

Original is original. 'Bachchhan Paandey' is cheap remake. If you watched Goddalakonda Ganesh then don't need to watch. Goddalakonda Ganesh hindi dubbed version available on YouTube. Go & watch.

Bhaukaal sirf trailer tak simit tha

[wwwtruckworthy · 6/10 · 19 March 2022]

From the name and the trailer that I saw things were looking interesting but now that I have seen the movie I can't say the same. The direction is all over the place. Not even a single scene was captivating. Songs are bad as well. Akshay looked good and has acted decently apart from him others were okaish. Commercial cinema is fun but only when it's made properly. Watch it only for Akshay.

Waste of actor like Akshay kumar

[lakshay-94143 · 2/10 · 18 March 2022]

No story and pathetic casting. Avoid please. The start gave goosebumps but just 2 mins into movie, you realise what a cartoon movie this is. Both halfs of movie are super bad.

No brainer, Pure entertainment.

[amitdikkar · 8/10 · 31 July 2022]

I don't know why there is so much hatred surrounding this movie. I absolutely loved the way they have shot. Akshay kumar has amazing screen presence in this movie. His comic timing is great as always. The background is griping and terrifying. Jacqueline has very short role as usual. Glad they didn't extend the love story piece too much it would have become really boring.

Kriti, as always, is improving with every movie. She could be our next mega iconic female star. She has a very big role which was nice to see. I'm not Akshay kumar fan, but this is one aspect of Akshay kumar films i like, he does not have hunger to be the sole star of the film. He doesn't mind second lead role.

Good watch if you are looking for pure entertainment.

Nice movie with with nice comedy and action.

[stylishboy004 · 7/10 · 10 September 2022]

What does one need more? One has action, comedy, romance and drama all combined in one movie. Akshay Kumar is doing some serious acting in this film, he is not at his best, but still very good from what he has been doing for the past few years. I downloaded this movie, illegally I might add, from the internet and just now gave it a watch. I believed it would be just another quick watch, with a predictable story-line and predictable dialogues. But I was wrong. It has a nice intriguing story and good catchy humour.

I believe Indian audiences have grown wise in the past few years and only prefer movies which have a very strong script and also less or no songs. Quite like what is shown in Hollywood. The 'masala' generation of movies are now history or going to be out of fashion in the coming years. But had this movie been released 10 years ago, it would have earned a lot both commercially and critically.

I, for one. Prefer 'masala' movies as a form of entertainment and education, one can relieve stress and also learn something along the way, like some good dialogues or catchy-songs etc.

Plus from me, but sad to know this movie didn't earn much at the box-office. And also sad to know that 'masala' movie types are going to be a thing of the past in the coming years.

Crap

[navreview · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

Too many cooks spoils the broth this line is so true for this movie. There are 6 writers for this movie which is not even an original story. Bollywood has to give it's audience good content to watch otherwise with these types of flashy nonsensical, non-original movies will slowly start to keep audiences away from threater. There is nothing good about this movie not even songs, actors like Pankaj Tripathi has been wasted and producer-director seems to bank on one person's stardom, this is not going to work. STOP MAKING THESE TYPES OF MOVIES.

It's ONE OF MY FAVS

[yshsssc · 10/10 · 19 July 2022]

I understand it might not meet everyone's expectations and it's a south remake which makes it worse. But, tbh this is a good waste of time. I mean a good time pass movie. It actually turned out to become one of my favs. Especially because of the ending. I understand it's not that good and it has a silly storyline but its Nadiawala Grandson's movie. What can we expect? Otherwise, it's actually AWESOME!!!

No overacting

[akashsumal · 7/10 · 15 April 2022]

This time Akshay did good acting no overacting character was good , one time watch , little boring in mid of movie ,lengthy , rest all characters are played nice role.

Flop

[johntherealcena · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

Huge Disappointed. Bachchan Pandey is like Phata Poster Nikla Zero. Suggestions is that better to watch The Kashmiri Files One more time Or Repeat and Repeat again. Worst Film Worst Acting Worst Screenplay.

Pathetic Movie

[navsingh1 · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

We should not waste our time, money and positive energy in these wasteful 3 hours drama of non sense action, songs. Instead we should do reading or even watch good movies again.

Disaster

[ranasahasales · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

Another disaster of Akshay Kumar Loading. Worst film of the year. Useless acting by akshay Kumar. Disaster written all over it. Save your money don't watch it in theater. After Bell Bottom another disaster of Akshay Kumar.

A Chaotic Mess of Quirky and Cliched Characters !!!

[cs_rahul_prasad · 6/10 · 26 August 2022]

When a struggling filmmaker and actor set out to make a biography on one of the most dreaded gangsters, they have little idea about just how crazy and dangerous it's going to be. 'Bachchhan Paandey' is a remake of the 2014 Tamil film 'Jigarthanda'.

Welcome to Baghwa. This is a land so lawless where cops are beaten by the goons in broad daylight and journalists are burnt alive. The gundas here only speak the language of guns and the most notorious of them all is Bachchhan Paandey (Askhay Kumar) - jiski aankhein aur dil dono patthar ke hain. The larger-than-life persona of this hitman catches the fancy of a struggling filmmaker Myra (Kriti Sanon), who lands in Baghwa to make a full-fledged feature film on him. Her friend Vishu (Arshad Warsi) is a struggling actor, who reluctantly agrees to help her in this doomed mission and thus begins a bloody roller coaster ride that is marked by death and destruction.

It's an interesting plot, but sadly we have seen it all in the trailer that pretty much reveals the entire story. 'Bachchhan Paandey' doesn't deliver the goods consistently. It's a massive setup that seems heavily inspired by the Tarantino school of filmmaking. There are sweeping slo-mo shots of the protagonist driving around in his vintage open car in dry and arid landscapes of North India and an eerily cheerful background score that ensures his dark deeds don't evoke much fear within the audience. Then, does it evoke comedy? Well, no because barring a few jokes (as seen in the trailer) there aren't many more to begin with. This despite a mix of of talented character artists, who are known for their impeccable comic timing. Like Sanjay Mishra, who plays the stuttering Bufferia Chacha or Pankaj Tripathi, as the tyrant acting coach Bhaves Bhoplo from Gujarat. They bring in the laughs when they deliver their punchlines, but their characters are eclipsed by so much else that's going on in this chaotic mess. Arshad Warsi has more screen time but doesn't ever get a chance to shine in this dark comedy.

The first half is used to set up the story, but doesn't move at a desired pace. Thankfully, there are some minor conflicts and plot twists that make you look forward to the second half, however the screenplay takes forever to make a point. The music is a big letdown and only adds to the runtime.

Akshay Kumar gets to have the most fun playing a lunatic killer, who has a backstory, but it's barely convincing. Kriti Sanon looks gorgeous and performs well within her character. Jacqueline Fernandez as Paandey's girlfriend Sophie is so repetitive and restricted that it's hard to tell this one apart from many of her previous roles. Ditto for Prateik Babbar, who plays a goofy goon once again and doesn't leave a mark. Abhimanyu Singh and Saharsh Kumar Shukla are entertaining as Pendulum and Kaandi, respectively.

For the action fans, there is enough brutality and bloodbath that is shot in slick frames. Given that it's a remake of a formula film in the genre of dark, action comedies, 'Bachchhan Paandey' replicates what has already worked in the south. But even with all its grandiosity and starpower, this one only manages to entertain in bits and pieces.

Not to waste Rs. 1 too

[snehald-03959 · 1/10 · 19 March 2022]

Zero story and poor direction so naturally acting is sub-standard. Avoid and invest your money by watching TKF once more. Director (naam hi kafi he) thought he can divert the earning of TKF by releasing this movie. But now audience is smart enough to understand the trash and treat the movie accordingly.

Not great but good

[sumeyyashaukath · 6/10 · 20 March 2022]

Good to see Akshay Kumar back into his old comedic acting style. It has its funny scenes and decent acting. Not bad. It definitely is a one time watch movie but that doesn't mean its boring just not something you will want to watch again soon, Arshad Warsi as usual did a nice job.

Such a headache inducing movie

[barnwal-usa · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

So much loud annoying bgm, cringy acting, story is non existent, very bad copy movie. You guys don't even know how to make copy of a copy of a Korean movie ..

Nadiadwala Entertainment is having a great time, and working with their favourite actor, Akshay Kumar, has made him even better than he already is. Seeing Akshay Kumar on screen in this movie is a treat for people who aren't used to seeing him.

All about Akshay!

[akhandwa · 6/10 · 27 May 2022]

The story is about upcoming filmmaker pursuing a gangster to make his biopic (or as bachchan says it's a toothpick. 😊). Movie has a feel of a small town western and loved the music (vam, vam, vam) everytime bachchan enters.

Like most Bollywood movies, Bachchan has a typical love story from the past. He also wants to be portrayed as a fearful gangster in his biopic but the filmmaker has other plans. This leads to Bachchan giving up his life of crime.

Some of the performances were lacking but I thought Akshay carried the movie.

Overall refreshing and entertaining!

Boring movie , akshay is repetitive acting is unbearable

[sumit7480 · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

Boring movie , akshay is repetitive acting is unbearable, i think its time to boycott bollywood , total time waste, they cant even make remake good. They cant copy, watch instead telugu version.

Worst movie I ever seen 😐

[ishu12 · 1/10 · 18 March 2022]

At the same time, the story of waste has been put, nor is it a foot to remain intoxicated. Over acting in the name of acting nonsense story in the whole picture. The more I thought it would be a better picture, the more nonsense it is. I would say only one thing, don't see, don't see.

How low u want

[iamdeepujayakumar · 1/10 · 19 March 2022]

Producer - i don't care about money, i need a good remake

Director- yes sir I got exactly what you want, Boom ....BP delivered....

Producer- wtf It's the 1 worst remakes, akshay kumar and comedy might be enjoyable to northies, but damn man he's horrible, Arshad is the best thing about this movie.
