Nowhere near Lagaan but..
meenotigoswami10 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
GOLONDAAJ - I went to watch first day first show due to high expectations but I am little bit disappointed. Screenplay is on a slower side. Movie could be easily trimmed by 20 mins. Movie has been stretched unnecessarily. Some silly scenes made serious situation look unintentionally funny which is not good for any movie. As far as acting is concerned only the foreign villain and Anirban was good. Overall GOLONDAAJ is a one time watch and below expectations.

Average movie
shahedshanto30 December 2021
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.

A must watch bengali film
sdboral10012 September 2022
A fantastic biopic from bengali film industry.

This film showcases the life of Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikary, the father of Indian Football.

1. Dev as Nagendra Prasad is eyepleasing. From physique to acting everything is fine.

2. Ishaa Saha as Krishna Kamalini or Nagendra's wife is good in the given space.

3. Anirban. Bhattacharya as Bhargav or Nagendra's friend is very good as always in his cameo role. It gives a pleasent experience whenever Nagendra & Bhargav comes to screen.

4. Mirchi Agni as Naru is good, but someties falls victim of over acting.

5. Indrasish Roy as Captain Jitendra is also good. He has shown his skills perfectly. A pleasent experience watching him.

6. Alexx O'Nell as Major Jackson has shown some tremendous skill with his character. By watching his intro scene, one can say that he is going to play the role of antagonist. His expressions as a ruthless major general are also good.

7. Padmanava Dasgupta as Raja Anandakrishna Deb is also good.

8. Suppoting cast are also good in their respective characters.

9. I would like give a special mention to singer Srikanta Acharya, who has played Nagendra's Father. He was completely unexpected but has done a good job. And there are scope for improvements.

Music composed by Bickrm Ghosh is also a strong point of the film. Srijato has written some good lyrics for the songs.

Singers like Shovan, Ujjaini, Iman, Nirmalya has sung very good. Their voices add an extra point to the movie.

Videography and direction is also very good. Hopping to see more excellent films from Dhruvo Banerjee.

Thank you DEV for producing films like this.

Transformation of Dev over years
rickpaul-3097011 October 2021
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.

Better than usual Bengali Craps
anibose13 December 2021
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.

This film has the potential to be a game changer in bengali cinema. I swear !!!
krishnasikary11 October 2021
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. :)

Totally disappointing
dassudeshna19 October 2021
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.
asmitadhikari-2119811 October 2021
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. ❤❤

Golondaz is a must watch movie
bharsayan11 October 2021
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.

Overrated, too much dramatic
athoynilima26 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Ok, so let's get it clear- The movie with the cast could be way much better, but the director failed. Dev, as usual, demonstrated his weaknesses in Dialogue projections. Anirban, stole the show whenever he appeared inthe screen. The role of Dev's wife was underrated, could easily be withdrawn, she didn't have enough screen time except some songs. The struggles of Bengali Footballers could be shown more, but the director wasted time in unnecessary melodramas and "dialogue-baji"s. I expected more, but am dissapointed.

Brave attempt with bad execution
mukherjeeari19 October 2021
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.

One of the finest historical drama ever made! Don't miss it
netajibosethesudip12 October 2021
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!!

Great Comedy Movie
adamitde15 October 2021
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.

Disappointed
chatterjeesmita19 October 2021
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.

Brilliantly made film!
anisachakraborty12 October 2021
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.
