Wore a lungi and gun in his hand, Nawaz is absolutely fabulous in all the roles that he ever did. He is the one of the best mafia on screen that any actors ever imagined to play. He is tremendous, phenomenal, remarkable and exceptional actor and the way he played any role is marvelous. We all talk about his roots being on the ground but I'll speak of the heights he has touched with his powerful performances which literally show his acting skills and power.

needs to be appreciated

#BabumoshaiBandookbaaz is a raw n brutal gangster film, set in UP, which needs to be appreciated. The locations, costumes, dialogues n situations are authentic n ensure that you remain fully involved with the key characters. The men enjoy sex n violence n this is well depicted. Nawazuddin, as Babu, is superb n so is Jatin, as his chela. Bidita Bag sets the screen on fire with her raw sensuality. Hope to see her more often. Divya Dutta is impressive, as always. This is one of the rare Hindi movies where all the key characters are murdered. The music matches the mood of the film. Rating 4/5.
A Tragic Comedy
akunalrocks16 September 2019
A film that makes you laugh and think at the same time.. A tragedy of epic proportions but a movie that makes you think otherwise till the very end.. Don't know what the hullabaloo about the 2nd half is about cuz I found it to be quite complimentary to the first.. Overall a must watch..
Extra Star for Siddiqui's Performance
Hussain-AL-Naseer30 April 2020
Film roams around Babu Bihari (Siddiqui), a professional bounty killer, is assigned a target by Jiji, a ruthless politician. However, during his mission, when he meets Phulwa, a young woman, things go awry. Everything about this movie is standard but it is recommended for its outclass performance by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. If youre a Nawazuddin fan and haven't watched this movie then you should the Tapori Killer Swag with sufficient sarcasm is what he does effortlessly and this character is no different. Other then that the movie is watchable as it wont amuse you well but neither will disappoint you.
A maze of trumps, aces and a grand betrayal
msunando19 October 2020
Babu (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is a professional hitman with an allegiance to a political party led by Sumitra Jiji (Divya Dutta), albeit both are wary of each other's clever ways. The relationship boils over an incident and Babu switches sides, and is soon contracted by a rival party to eliminate three important individuals, one among them being Triloki (Murli Sharma), Sumitra's right hand man. Whilst on this mission, Babu befriends Banke Bihari (Jatin Goswami), who incidentally has also been given the same contract and who considers Babu his idol. The two collaborate amid a competitive and challenging environment to finish the assignment, but Babu is stunned when Banke pulls the trigger to his head, telling him that he was actually the fourth target of the assignment.
Eight years pass by, Babu wakes up in a hospital having survived the backstabbing by his protege, seething in anger, seeking revenge. His rage is further fuelled when he discovers that his girlfriend, the feisty Fulva (Bidita Bag) was hunted down by Sumitra Jiji's goons after Babu was considered dead, and set on fire. Babu now has just one mission to live for - snuff out all his rivals, Sumitra Jiji and her henchmen, Banke Bihari and anyone else who stands in his way of bringing these people to justice. What Babu doesn't know is that there is an even more sinister plot playing out behind the curtains and he may not be ready to unearth the biggest betrayal yet.
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is a raw, smartly crafted and pulsating crime thriller written by Ghalib Asadbhopali and directed by Kushan Nandy. The first half is fast paced, witty and filled with action. The second half turns into a revenge drama where the plot seems to be slipping out of control somewhat until it all comes together in the end. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is first rate as the unpolished bounty killer with a scheming mind, delivering a convincing performance yet again. Jatin Goswami matches him with all his might, first playing the protege and then his nemesis. Bidita Bag and Shraddha Das sparkle in their respective roles albeit short but meaningful ones. It's a less known, hidden gem of a movie that you mustn't miss, available on Zee5.

Disappointing
gautam-moharil13 November 2018
A story of an assassin for hire set in Bihar. The story had potential but everything else concerning this film was a disaster. Poor screenplay, poor performances and indifferent music. Even the brilliant Nawazuddin Siddique could not save this. Making a good film on low budget is a skill which the team of this film did not possess.
Highly Recommended 👍

Subpar second half makes it just watchable
Jithindurden20 January 2018
A fantastic first half followed by a subpar second half. The script fails in every level in the second half. The quirky dialogues of the first half and the details to create authenticity of the locale makes it watchable. The background reminds of Gangs of Wasseypur but without much of anything that made it good except the always terrific Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
with gun in his hands and dhoti on his butts, Nawaz at his best....
nishchaybhargava9529 August 2017
Hand him a gun and with his dhoti pulled up, Nawaz can give all the bakchods a perfectly relatable character.
We all talk about his roots being on the ground but I'll speak of the heights he has touched with his powerful performances which literally show power and bhaukaal.
This film has every element twisted in a dark way. Speak of the swag, chill-out-personality, hatred, vengeance, love, regret, loyalty, and every other element that exists, this movie has it.
Be it the dialogues , the bloodshed, the intimate scenes everything is top-notch.
If you are reading this you are totally wasting your time. I'll save you the trouble and straight away suggest you to go watch this movie.

Not upto expectations. Less of everything that you expected.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is one of those actors who have made a name for themselves by delivering content-driven films. So, when you hear that he is starring in a movie, as the single lead, you obviously get excited for it and your expectations start soaring. But 'Babumoshai Bandookbaaz' couldn't deliver exactly what was expected.
The movie tells the story of a hit-man 'Babu', the rival politicians 'Jiji' and 'Dubey' and how Babu meets 'Fulwa' - his love interest, and 'Bakey' - a competitor, and how things fold and unfold thereafter.
The movie does have twists and turns and enough of action, but the main problem is the clichéd story, unnecessary scenes and loss of logic at several points in the movie. The movie also feels a little rushed at several points and given its runtime of 02:02 hrs, maybe they could've given some scenes more time and detail, without feeling like a 3-hour-long movie.
Nawaz is the whole and sole of this movie, and carries the entire load on his shoulders, and delivers brilliantly as always. But apart from him, there wasn't much left in the movie, with mediocre acting all over the place.
Overall the movie was disappointing, but if you love action movies that show reality from rural India you might like this one.

Masterpiece
itsanjali-7271115 May 2021
I am actually shocked to see so many negative reviews for this gem. This movie made me realise that such a star performer Nawazuddin is & how underrated he is. The character played by Nawazuddin is like a clever cobra who may play naive but will bite you any moment without giving you time to realise it. The movie is engaging & unfolds many twists & turns. Overall a big thumbs up from me 👍🏻
A pure & fantastic ending

High Expectations, Big Disappointment.
adidpr27 August 2017
Just because dark is trending, doesn't mean everyone has to make it. Dark cinema is an art and it's not just about violence, blood, gore, and sex. It might be a demand of the cinema but bigger demand is a better script. It is to be realized and that realization has to come from within. Kushan Nandy tries his hand on this part thriller-part revenge drama which he probably wanted to look like 'Gangs of Wasseypur', but couldn't make it happen.
Set in some fictional part of UP where politics is power and laws are to be played with, where living is hard but killing is easy, lies the central character of Babu Bihari – who is a contract killer. He is killing people and is happy until one day when he finds out Banke, a new age contract killer who is a fan and a self- proclaimed student of Babu. They share an unusual bond on the screen as friends, guru- chela, and competitors, which leads to various twists and turns in the story.
The problem with this movie is that it tries to do many things in little time, but at the same time, it forgets that a movie can be good with a simple storyline too. It tries to feed a forced realism to viewers and in the process introduces so many unnecessary twists that even Abbas-Mastan will question their existence.
The plot is so weak that actors leave their characters halfway through the movie. Just hurling abuses can never make a character powerful, you have to impart that fear too. Divya Dutta fails to do that in her negative role and so does Anil George. Lead characters are nothing extraordinary too; be it Bidita Bag or Jatin Goswami. Even Nawazuddin, he isn't bad though but he has set the bar so high for himself that it wasn't even half of his potential. His dialogue delivery is good but it does not at any point lift the mood of the film. He is an actor par excellence but he should know that Indian audience is ruthless, it's just a matter of one more movie and he can be stereotyped. The only actor who somehow leaves his impact is Bhagwan Tiwari as the cop. Although he has played a similar role in Masaan, but rising above a bad story is hard and he does that here.
The only good scene in the movie is when Babu and Banke discuss inflation and their fees of killing people, just like people with a perfectly normal job would do. Another good thing about the movie is its music.
I'm quite open to cinema which has violence and abuses but it should be tied tight with the thread of a powerful story. You cannot just throw around abuses and call it black humour. Just adopting the language and law(-lessness) of land doesn't make a movie authentic or realistic, it just makes it a rich man's Gunda and a poor man's GoW. I know I don't want to say this but if only the movie was half as good as its first poster design, it would have worked. Unfortunately, it was so dull that even Nawazuddin couldn't save it; for me at least.

Thrives on being raw
rtoac121 February 2019
Wherever possible, the masterpiece direction and editing keeps clinging true to the film's theme of keeping it raw.
It doesn't set huge expectations thus and gives you the full dose of it all: violence (without getting gory), love making scenes (without getting vulgar), and language (used to build in humour).
All characters are kept as grey and down to earth to keep up the raw element. Well made!
Nawaz - DON of movie - we all love you

Two professional assassins are drinking on a bridge over railway tracks, sharing their life stories and reminiscing how they entered into the business of killing people. One of them considers the other his teacher. The junior has so much admiration for the senior that he has renamed himself Banke Bihari (Jatin Goswami) out of respect for his guru, Babu Bihari (Nawazuddin Siddiqui).
A weird self realization takes over Banke when he learns that Babu gets paid Rs 25,000 for each murder while he gets only Rs 8,000. That turns their conversation towards inflation and how it has become difficult for hired guns to operate with honesty. In an inebriated state, they challenge each other to murder three people. Whosoever will eliminate the three first will win and the other will have to leave the business of contract killing.

Nawazuddin and Jatin's on-screen pairing hits the target

Warning: Spoilers
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is a dark film by Kushan Nandy. This film covers love, lust, violence, sex, gunshots, politics, and its power fights, betrayals, manipulations, vengeance, killings etc. The challenge with films of this genre is to keep the audience glued to the screen and make the film intriguing. This challenge is met by the cast of the film, be it Nawazuddin Siddique, Jatin Goswami, Bidita Bag, Divya Dutta, Bhagwan Tiwari, Murli Sharma. Their acts have certainly given new dimensions to the film. But sadly we have seen Nawazuddin Siddique in films of this genre – Gangs of Wasseypur, Badlapur, Raman Raghav 2.2 etc. Although he seems a bit repetitive in this film, one cannot deny the effortlessness with which he essays these roles and also how he adds his own exclusive flavour to various scenes. The backdrop of the story is set in the hinterlands of UP. Babumoshai Bandookbaaj, as the title suggests, is about a sharp shooter Babu Bihari (Nawazuddin Siddique), who works for Sumitra Jiji (Diya Dutta) and kills people. But a fall out between Babu Bihari and Jiji happens when Babu decides to pick up high-paying contract killings offered by her rival Dubey (Anil George). When he was on this mission, that is where his encounter happens with Banke Bihari (Jatin Goswami). Banke considers Babu as his role model. Babu is known in the criminal underworld for his effective and efficient shooting and killing. Banke is also on the same mission of killing three people for whom Babu has got the contract. Banke is ambitious and believes that he would one day be more 'famous' than Babu. Regarding the three contract killings which they both have got, they enter into a deal that whoever kills more would be a winner. Whenever Banke and Babu are on screen together, it is interesting to watch their banter. Babu and Banke have a kind of mentor-protégé relationship as well. Some predictable twists and turns lead to certain happenings which take a different course of the path for both Banke and Babu. And in this twists and turns Sumitra Jiji, her rival Dubey, Babu's lady love Phulwa (Bidita Bag), a cobbler and Banke's work-manager cum girl friend Yasmin, a young aspiring actress (Shraddha Das) are also involved. Phulwa's character has learnt it hard way how to survive in this world and Babu falls for her due to her rough and blunt mannerisms.
One cannot expect any specific message attached with such dark thrillers. But yes, in this film, it is certainly conveyed that 'What goes around, come around'. Surprisingly, here is a film, in which one character Tarashankar (Bhagwan Tiwari), a policeman, fathers more and more boys expecting the next one to be a girl. Generally, we see this to be the other way round, a welcome change in the script.
This dark film has its few moments of laughter. When Babu sees Phulwa for the first time, she was repairing some shoes, he tries to forcefully damage his footwear.
Certain moments, though generate laughter, are very disturbing as well. A moment, where Babu and Banke both are arguing in front of their target that who can take the credit of the target's killing shows how these murders are so routine for them. Banke's assigning celebrity status to Babu is also funny. It is strange to see both Babu and Banke taking their contract killing job as any other profession. Tarashankar receiving call from his wife reminding him of some household chores when he is in midst of shoot-outs probably shows that how these manipulations and killings have become a mundane thing. Phulwa, a rape victim, offers to be Babu's mistress if he is able to kill the men who raped her, is very much disturbing. Dead body after the killing is brought to butchers' shop is another disturbing scene.
It is difficult to believe that how one after getting a shot at forehead survives the death.
If we talk about the cast, Nawazuddin, as mentioned earlier, we have seen him in such roles, but as always, he does add his own flavours. Jatin Goswami as Banke does give superlative performance. Bidita Bag is very natural in her performance and she gives an bsolutely uninhibited sensuous performance. Divya Dutta plays the local politician's role very nicely, who is hungry for power and she also displays her lust effortlessly. Rest of the cast Bhagwan Tiwari, Anil George, Shraddha Das, Murli Sharma have less of screen time but have given noticeable performances.
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is a dark crime-thriller film about love, lust, violence, sex, gunshots, politics and its power fights, betrayals, manipulations, vengeance, killings etc. This film is certainly not everyone's cup of tea. But as far as the specific genre of the film is concerned, we have seen films, even more, darker than Babumoshai Bandookbaazi in the past. What works in the favour of the film is Nawazuddin and Jatin's pairing on the screen which hits the target. Please watch this film only if you can enjoy dark films and also a fan of Nawazuddin's acting.

Like that rare weed. You take a joint and it hit differently. This is that kind of movie.
Must watch at least once, A true art of a raw storytelling paired with excellent performance delivered even by a side tiny character.

Disturbance of peace of mind.
MuviFan7329 August 2017
I don't like horror, crime and war genre in that same order in general. A place where killing people is easy and eventually getting away with that without any difficulty seem unrealistic. Everybody in world of crime seems exposed and eventually meets the fate that should be that as shown.
Acting was average.
Music was below average.
I would rate it 6/10.

Every shot on dot in first half, shockingly didn't achieve a single target in second half
dineshprakash25 August 2017
Director Mr Kushan Nandy's work in first half is worth clapping. Every details are taken care but in second half it seems that smart spider has entangled in his own wave, like stupid prey. Dialogues by Ghalib Asadbhopali, are just brilliant. Screenplay wise, first half is full of fresh quirkiness. Even its being a crime drama you can't help to laugh throughout which makes it fresh and entertaining. Opening scene of a shrewd person indirectly pushing a masseur to give massage to his wife while a sharp shooter (Babu) is killing a person on his instruction clearly portrays both character. Then montages with song with perfect lyrics do the rest. In montage, killer is shown living very common person life, like listening old song on radio, going for open defecation while brushing teeth and listening radio. Every detail is there but quirkiness comes when they show his typical collection of goggles, hanged on a cloth hanger. Just superb. His love affair begins with a cobbler girl in very quirky style too. He tries to break his sandal so he can go to her for repair. His effort for doing it is just hilarious. Girl charges extra for being stared so next day killer goes directly without any excuse and pays her fees only to stare. Why that girl became impressed with that killer is also established. Then another killer Banke joins the drama and adds the fun quotient while shooting and killing going on. Every character is established in very smart way but interval point gives hint that they are going to smash every character in second half. Yes they try to justify the out of the box interval, stuffed just for shock value. In second only half few details are handled in good way, like betel shop owner handling the Beedi without even looking at person. For enhancing drama they keep inducing illogical and deliberate twists and turns, which spoiled the character graph and quirkiness established in first half. The female politician neck deep buried in scorpion and ant infected land!! Long chasing sequence on road and roof's culmination, which could have been summed without it. Inspector ring tone creates laughter in first half drama but irritates in second half due to scene intensity. Pre climax brothel shooting and climax happenings are all clear cut example of crossing line. Performance wise Nawazudin Sidiqi as Babu is mind blowing. Jatin Goswami as Banke is first rate. Bidita Bag as Fulwa is impressing. Divya Datta is very good. Casting Director Sanjay Chouhan work is of first rate. This film is surprisingly lyrically (by Ghalib Asad Bhopali) and musically ( by Gaurav Dagoankar) rich.
Run, Walk, or Crawl Away from this Film But Whatever You Do, Stay Away
DeadMan662 September 2017
I found this movie very boring. This movie is for people who want to watch slut and contract killer. Nothing new in this movie. No lesson/moral to learn. Waste of time. Does not have any great dialogue or song that I would say and sing.
This is not an example for anyone, not advice, not documentation of any reality, not the overall formula, not idea, not support, not friendship, or not about something good, it's only the violence, a lot of blood, lot of meaningless frames.
I wish I could give -ve 10 to this movie. Guys don't waste your valuable weekends for this shitty movie.

Despite of some strong performance the movie misses the mark

Warning: Spoilers
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is an action-thriller movie directed by Kushan Nandy and stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bidita Bag, Jatin Goswami, Shraddha Das, Divya Dutta, Murali Sharma and Anil George.
Whenever you read the name of Nawazuddin Siddiqui the expectations is expected to rise and honestly he didn't disappoint with his performance but the movie might disappoint you a little as after watching the movie you will feel that you have just seen the compact version of Gangs of Wasseypur.
The movie hints towards a comic and thrilling experience of the bromance of two hit-men but too many twists and turns keep the viewers guessing hence the movie falls. Nawazuddin's portray of lover seeking vengeance is superb and deserves an applause, Jatin Goswami is another hidden talent and his the boy next door looks leads to screen appeal, Bidita could not impress much despite of all of her cleavage display, smooches and love scenes, Shraddha was average in her tailor made role of a wannabe actress who dances on bollywood songs, Divya Dutta reprises the role of a female powerful politician who loves to be called 'Behenji' very elegantly. Rest of the cast were impressive.
Script has nothing new to offer as it seems that this is a pulp-less and tasteless recreation of Gangs of Wasseypur and it seems that the movie was focused more towards cleavage display, smooches, killings and objectification of woman. It seems that the makers were more interested in either killings or love making scenes and hence couldn't focus more on the script. The Screenplay is uneven hence couldn't bind the already poor script for long and the movie start loosing the grip and even the brilliance of Nawaz couldn't save the movie.
Despite of some strong performance the movie might disappoint some viewers due to poor script, uneven screenplay, too many twists and turns and a predictable ending, an opportunity wasted.
