      Intense emotional film!

      First of all, I think labeling this movie as an action/thriller is a definite misnomer. It is more of a drama. However, I think it's pointless to think too hard trying to categorize films only to strictly expect things typical of a film belonging to that genre. I mean come on, this is Bollywood. Blackmail has it all--action, drama, romance, the works. I thought there were some good action sequences, particularly the carnival scene. Priyanka Chopra and Diya Mirza don't have much of a role and are simply there to add a couple of songs. The essence of this movie is the father-son relationship. Suniel Shetty's adopted son means everything in the world to him after losing his real son. Ajay Devgan's search for his son leads him to a shocking yet heartwarming realization. The father-son relationship has been portrayed absolutely beautifully in this film. The climax is a real tearjerker. All actors and actresses have given extraordinary performances.

      Not worth it! This movie blows big time

      Looking at the star cast for this film, I personally thought this movie would be good entertainer. Didn't hesitate buying a $13 ticket.

      Watching the film for half-hour, I was totally bored. This film has nothing new in it. Absolutely waste of time. This movie is a torture. Cheap film.

      Cast like: Ajay devgan (one of my fav. Actor), Sunil shetty shouldn't have signed this movie at first place. This movie has same old bollywood flavor with nothing new.

      In some scenes you could actually see the camera shadows. There was this scene where Ajay Devgan was wearing a black goggles….and the camera zooms on his face…and you could actually see those big lighting screen on his goggles.

      Technical work in this movie is so so so bad.

      A cheap Bollywood film.

      Nothing is good about this movie!!! This movie is not recommended if you are fan of Ajay Devgan or Sunil Shetty. You will be disappointed big time.

      I would rate this movie 1/10.

      Great action sequences and a great movie!!!!

      This movie was a huge flop in India.But,unlike the critics,the movie was quite good.Apart from its action sequences,the story was quite good too.It revolves around Ajay Devgan,who wants to take revenge from the cop(Suniel Shetty),for killing his wife(Dia Mirza).

      The entry of Suniel Shetty is too good.His wire-work looks good.Ajay Devgan is at his best.His fight at the carnival,and the ending,was really emotional.The best stunt was the Gypsy coming through the barrels of water,above the Honda CRX.It really blew away my mind. Priyanka Chopra and Dia Mirza are present in a very small role but do their bit in the form of a few songs.

      Watch this movie only if you are a Ajay Devgan fan.He carries the whole movie on his shoulders,and performs terrifically.The father-son relation has been displayed quite well,and is emotionally captivating.Not bad...Not bad at all....

      Amateurish work

      Despite a talented star cast, Blackmail looks so amateurish...I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't do so well.

      Ace car racer and criminal Shekhar seeks revenge on cop Abhay Singh for getting him arrested and imprisoned even to the extent of costing Shekhar the life of his wife and child, 7 years after his release. But Shekhar is in for surprises and Abhay Singh has to figure out how to handle the ex conman who is behind him now. The hunter has become the hunted.

      The film has amateurish conceptualisation, amateurish dialogue work, Weak acting, Poor editing and is overdramatic. There is unbelievable stuff, like surviving more than 24 hrs after being hit in the back by a bullet.

      It does get thrilling at times, and there are a few melodious songs , best actor is probably Sunil shetty. Ajay Devgn is definitely a talented actor but in this film his talents are not used well.

      Couldn't have worked.

      Black Mail (Parvarish + Ransom + random movies)

      Anil Devgan(cousin of Ajay) startd his career with a flop RAJU CHACHA returns with his cousin in this flop film

      The movie isn't too bad though it's clichéd, done to death and borrows every ingredient from past

      The film is a copy of RANSOM and mixed with other commercial ingredients

      The kidnapping scene is well handled and actually kicks off the story which is boring before

      But the ease at which the hawaldars disappear.etc is contrived

      The backstory of Ajay- Dia is straight out of old movies and the twist that Parth is Ajay's son is straight out of PARVARISH

      The characters of Mukesh Rishi and the overdose of stunts are done to death and look like old films and the climax too

      The film is predictable and that is a downfall The scenes between Parth and Ajay are well handled

      Direction by Anil Devgan is decent but he shd've thought of something new Music is forced

      Action scenes are overdone, especially the MATRIX like stunts and the flying Suneil stunts and also Ajay ones

      Ajay Devgan excels in his part especially in the emotional scenes and also in the scenes with Parth and with Suneil Suneil is decent though at times he hams it up Priyanka has just 3 tasks to do, cry Chiraag, say some lines and dance and she is nothing special Dia is better in her small role Parth is superb,A worth to watch child artist Mukesh Rishi is routine
