    Now there shall be justice.

    I had high hopes from this film since i saw the trailer and i wasn't disappointed at all. I saw this film on the first day of it's release and there are very less shows and even lesser people who wants to watch this film. And this is because another hindi film (veere di wedding) was released with this one. Unlike veere di wedding, bhavesh joshi was not promoted on a large scale and that is one of the reason's why people didn't knew much about it and maybe they thought that it might be some kind of low budget substandard film and it's better to avoid it. But trust me bhavesh joshi is relatable and believing, because it's what's happening all around us.

    In my opinion, bhavesh joshi has a lot to offer in terms of story telling, action, including a bit of humor and one of the best chase sequences i have seen in bollywood movies. It's not a typical bollywood masala entertainer, rather it is an underrated gem which needs to be appreciated.

    I would highly recommend you to watch this one because it helps the filmmakers to create more unique films and will also improve the standard of Indian cinema.

    the best vigilante superhero movie i ever saw...

    The story of this movie is incredibly well written. and shows the ground reality problem Indian citizens face everyday from politicians to government officers and how media houses portrays anyone. Some scene of this movie are beautifully captured. the best thing about this movie is they shows every detail how a superhero and his mask develop and involve.

    Hero Paida nahi hota, banta hai.- Super Cool film!

    Director Vikramaditya Motwane is back after a well attempted film Trapped which was released last year. The Harshvardhan Kapoor starrer film is under the production house of Phantom. Written and directed by Motwane, this is an action+drama of an Indian Superhero, called Bhavesh Joshi, who fights against wrong.

    It is a tale of two friends, who are inspired from a party to getting justice. And ended up making 'Insaaf Duo'. They make videos of people doing wrong things, & then upload them on social media. One of them gets settled with his job. The other one is still doing to save his country and countrymen. One day a case has been come to him about water crisis. How he will solve it, or what this case is bringing to him and his partner, is the story of this film.

    Phantom production always brings to us something fresh. This is not a marvel or DC film, where we can see some superhero flying. Here we see a common man fighting for all common men. Water crisis is the biggest crime one can ever do. I mean, here there is no problem of that. But I'm sure this film is surely based on some facts. To understand what this type of crisis is, and how normal people are affected to this, you have to see this film. I am thankful to the makers, for showing this crime on celluloid.

    Harshvardhan Kapoor is superb. This film is his true debut film. He is the perfect choice of Sikku in this film. Priyanshu and Ashish give solid support. Shreiyah Sabharwal looks stunning. Nishikant and other badmen deliver good performances.

    What I like the most, is background score. Though, there are not any song in the film. Except two in the background. Chavanprash sounds cool to me. Qasam Kha Li is suitable in the flow. But, hat's off for the subtle background score in the entire film. No high, no low, to the mark!

    Overall, this film is surely an one time watch. Chase sequences are damn cool. The entire climax portion is superb, too. People, who are watching this film over Veere, are generally boys. They will surely remember Harsh's avtaar for a longer time. 'Hero paida nahi hota, banta hai.' Thumps up for the real life superhero. Go for it.

    A massively underrated movie that deserves a watch

    Bhavesh Joshi is not your typical CGI studded superhero flick which is an achievement for the copycat bollywood. It explores the idea behind a hero and stays grounded till the end. The bike chase scene is visually stunning and so is the acting of Priyanshu Painyuli as Bhavesh.

    But due to lack of proper marketing the movie didn't reach the audience and failed to create buzz. Hope it gets its due on Netflix

    Plz vickram sir, make a sequel. Atleast a series for netflix!!

    We, the indian audience did not treat well to this mind blowing super hero. When it comes to G-one or Krrish, the box office ruled. Even that bloody flying jaat took major attention of audience. sir, Plz will u forgive us and make a sequel or a series for this wonderful character? This genere should be protected. And u are the perfect craftman for that!

    And Harshwardhan, u are the biggest hope in the industry. Just luved u man!!! Wish u all the best for ur career!!!

    • Trivia
      Vikramaditya Motwane initially prepared the entire draft of the movie in English. Anurag Kashyap took this English draft and wrote the Hindi dialogues as he has a better command over the Hindi language. Anurag Kashyap also helped a lot with the screenplay of this movie.
    • Goofs
      The three main characters refer to the film Ra.One in the opening scene of the film. However the subsequent scenes of the film, supposedly in chronological order, show that it is August 2011. When in fact Ra.One was released in October of that year.
