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.

Bollywood Popcorn Flick
I watched this movie the other day as i had keenly anticipated the release of it. As ever in true bollywood style the story is a blatently been lifted from the hollywood blockbuster The Rock. The film is very entertaining throughout keeping u at the edge of your seatz most of the way through. There are a number of faultz in this movie...mainly the lacklustre acting from most of the cast & the highly annoying script, also dere are to many songs in Qayamat, mainly in the first half which only slowz down the pace of this action flick. There are two factorz that save dis movie from being a complete stinker...AJAY DEVGAN & THE ACTION SCENEZ. The action scenez in Qayamat are probably the best ever in bollywood, they leave u in complete awe as u can see a lot of time & money has been spent 2 make the scenez look accomplished Ajay Devgan totally stealz the show with his superb acting in a role which was tailor made 4 him, even though he hardly speakz throughout the whole of the movie his emotionz are shown through his brilliant pragmatics, this role definetly is up there wid his brilliant rolez in COMPANY, DEEWANEGEE & LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH...trully mezmerizing. Overall this movie is pure eye candy...if u want a entertaining nite out then go watch QAYAMAT I give it 7/10
Good movie ... only one problem
This is an excellent movie for anyone who watches a lot of Indian movies, but not a lot of Hollywood movies. Thats because its a rip-off of 'The Rock'. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not watched 'The Rock'. There were some unnecessary special effects in this movie that were annoying sometimes. I would give it a 2 out of 5.
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.

Sucks!
Come on!! For god's sake! IF you cant think of an original idea, atleast make a decent remake!
Only good(being overly generous) thing in this movie is Ajay Devgan. Rest of the cast is idiotic. So is the action. It seems like Ajay Devgan gets a rocket up his butt whenever a bomb explodes nearby!
my rating 3/10. Why three 4 for Devgan's acting + 2 for Neha Dhupia's body + 1 riya sen's exposure + 2 overall things - 6 for Sanjay Kapoor and Arbaaz khan
