Unfair!
I always used to love watching this movie as a kid, but that is not the case now. After watching this movie in 2019, I realised that I always used to blame the politicians for the conflicts between Pakistan and India, now I know that these filmmakers are equally responsible. This movie is highly biased and is targeted towards defamation of Pakistan.
Indian version of "The Rock", lot more fun and entertainment.
I am surprised to see such a low rating for such an entertaining movie. Well these days people prefer pretending to be a brilliant critique rather than enjoying a movie. Well this movie certainly doesn't deserve any award except for songs, Sunil Shetty dialogues and Ajay Devgan's acting, but, if you want a nice action thriller, a change of trend in Hindi cinema in early millennium and or if you watch movie just for fun and entertainment, then don't miss this movie. Whether or not it is copy of the movie "The Rock". This movie is made with lot of efforts, which you'll see, this movie serves entertainment and it's definitely worth watching.

Excellent!
This movie is awesome! With a movie boasting of a big, talented cast, every character is excellently developed. The idea of threatening Mumbai with biological weapons is very interesting and scary. The Sanjay-Isha-Arbaaz terrorist trio is also a completely new and unheard of concept. There is a good portion of romance but placed such that it does not blur away the action/suspense. Songs are fabulous, especially the "Qayamat" track. Although the jail seems to be inspired heavily from Alcatraz, this is a sleek, intelligent film.
A decent one time watch film!!
Qayamat: City Under Threat is an action thriller film directed by Harry Baweja. The film stars an ensemble cast of Ajay Devgn, Sunil Shetty, Sanjay Kapoor, Arbaaz Khan, Chunkey Pandey, Isha Koppikar, Neha Dhupia, Riya Sen, and Aashish Chaudhary.
A CBI officer is given a duty to catch two terrorist who has not only held 213 hostages but also is threatening to release a deadly virus in the drinking water which will infect and kill the population instantly. The CBI officer takes the help of another convict.
This film is a remake of 1996 Hollywood film The Rock.
The film which is remake of Hollywood classic is so bad that it is good. The best part of the film is it's lead star cast of Ajay Devgn, Sunil Shetty. Sanjay Kapoor and Arbaaz Khan as the main villains, Chunkey Pandey in a funny negative role and the music of the film. The bad part is the supporting actors like Neha Dhupia, Isha Koppikar, Riya Sen and Aashish Chaudhary who are known for their terrible acting and they left no stone unturned in acting very badly in this film as well.
Plot of the film is lifted from a Hollywood film and execution is average. The songs in between breaks the momentum of the film. The climax of the film is equally decent.
Overall a decent one time film to watch.

A copy cat film
This movie has a big cast but meaningless storyline and the worst thing is it's not an original story. This is a copy of the Hollywood movie, the Rock.
Sunil shetty's acting made me laugh, he tried to look serious but it was funny to see him make a copy movie. The villains were many times worst. The directors chose two flop actors. I had to keep forwarding just to laugh at the end. And Ajay Devgan as Sean Connery's copy was a big joke. They didn't make the lab scene very real, it looked so fake. Every one's acting was a fake and not enjoyable to watch. You just had to laugh even more when they throw songs into it
Did you see Sean Connery dancing around trees?
Highly unrecommended. Don't waste your time with this movie.
