Baadshaho

This film has a lot of "style" and "substance"; slick in sepia-toned, sandy Rajasthan. :). You will enjoy this heist-action film despite the apparent flaws.Baadshaho strikes a perfect balance between story and swagger. It's gripping; however, the pace loses steam post-interval. Nevertheless, other departments are good enough to pull the film until the climax.

Most films give enough mind space to predict what will happen next; they also present an opportunity to think on whether or not you are enjoying a film. Baadshaho doesn't give you much of a chance to think about how you are feeling about the film and succeeds in keeping you guessing about the next twist in a good way – but only in the first half.

Every time Bhavani (Ajay Devgn) and his gang get into a troublesome and complicated situation, you think of the many ways that they will uncomplicate. The film surprises with its solution and that's the beauty. This is what we expect from seasoned filmmakers. Unfortunately, the second half just goes loose. Also, I would like to talk about parental guidance -there's loads of Violence and a couple of abusive words. We can seebare-chested men and bare-backed women. The film has a couple of making out scenes.

Coming back to the advantages of this action slick-flick – it has been showcased in an interesting and different setting. Rajasthan in the 70s has been used and the events are planned using the emergency. Characterization and its building is interesting. Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta, Sanjai Mishra, Vidyut Jamwal – have delivered their best. The surprise element was Ileana D'cruz - her character is of a shrewd ruler and she is convincing.

For the action part, I just need to summarize – it's an Ajay Devgn film!The songs are nice to listen to, and the background score is apt. Dialogues are the highlights; some could go down very well as Bollywood dialogue memories. You can definitely consider this over the weekend.

First of all most of the reviews here are fake, fake and fake.

Even kids movies have better stories and screenplays. The story may be related to an actual incident but rest of the movie is just a joke.

The plot is laughable and stupid with so many logical errors that I had to quit watching it part way through.

Action scenes are naive and dialogues are unrealistic. Fights and chases are unimpressive.

A big waste of time!

Yes, the film is over-wrought, melodramatic and designed as pulp fiction. But it's intermittently fun. Don't wear a microscopic lens, don't be over analytical and you'll definitely enjoy the flick.

Beyond literature,movies bear myth-making abilities. The medium is too recent to judge for its place in history. But we already have films like Mughal-e-Azam or Sholay that appear mythologies to rival epics in public consciousness. So,emergency, is one such chapter that entices us with the mystery. The subject is immediately exhilarating still. As is this film.

The character of Bhawani is beautifully sketched. The actor before you is Ajay Devgn. And here is what I personally feel about him. Very few actors in mainstream films manage a self-assured, under-stated swagger, convey so much silently, sometimes just with their glance and droopy eyes. It's a camera art. Sr. Bachchan saab has perfected it as the 'angry young man'. Devgn, you can tell, is his fine successor.

Luthria has managed to recreate eras that connect with audiences. This time his attempt to create the Rajasthan in the 70s is not perfect yet commendable. rightly recreates retro from the '70s. He focuses right on all the low angles of the shots; and trumpets for a background score; but most importantly in the sense of the big screen.His smart dialogue gives you a feel of living in that period. But once again, Luthria could have been much better.

Finally, all departments contribute in making this a watch worthy film (if not as memorable as OUTIM). I did have good time with friends and that what you care for at the end of the day.

This movie is excellent.in terms of the story, screenplay and dialogues. The direction is average. Ajay Devgn looks convincing as Bhawani and his acting is one of the best of all time. The movie has perfect casting and all actor has done amazing job, for most actor this movie is an highlight of their career. The trio - Ajay Devgn, Emran Hashmi and Milan Luthria - has once again created a magic!

The flick is pegged as 'inspired by true events'; however, there are several creative liberties taken to tell a story with a number of imaginary sub plots. Interestingly, the director is able to hold the film as close to real. But let me warn you, the ending is a bit clichéd but then "who is complaining"!!

Final Verdict: It is a worthwhile film and has the potential to earn 100+ crores.

The story is basic, yet wildly fanciful - a young RajputaniladyGitanjali Devi (Ileana D'Cruz) has her ancestral gold reserveconfiscated from her palace by the government. The year is 1975 and we hear the voice of Prime Minister, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, declaring Emergency (while exhorting her countrymen not to panic). The maharani has earned the wrath of a grasping Sanjay Gandhi look- alike whowields tremendous power even over the Indian army;his reel name is Sanjeev.

The affrontedGitanjali Devi who is serving time in jail orders her brooding personal security in-charge Bhawani Singh (Ajay Devgn) to grab the lost booty back for her.

The loyal Bhawani, who is the queen's retainer and secret lover, setts together a band of four gangsters. The gang includedGitanjali Devi'strusted aide Sanjana (Esha Gupta).They set on the mission to waylay the high-value consignment when it is transported from Rajasthan to Delhiin an armored truck. The distance between the source and destination was to be covered in an eight-hour road trip. "Woh army hai, hum haraamihai," Bhawani declares, playing down the risk involved, to allay the fears of both the ageing cat burglar Tikla (Sanjay Mishra) and the happy-go-lucky gun-for-hire Dalia (Emraan Hashmi) that he ropes in.The gang of badasses takes several detours as the gold is targeted and trailed. A stereotype army officer, Major Seher Singh (Vidyut Jammwal), becomes a massive obstacle in the way of Gitanjali Devi's assault team. To find out more, I would recommend you watch the film yourself.

The inspiration of the film was certainly from the emergency era where perhaps similar events unfolded. Ajay Devgan portrays his character with ease; not only that, he makes a remarkable impression with the dialogues that have been penned by Rajat Arora. Emraan Hashmi is yet another delight. Vidyut Jamwaleffortlessly plays the role of an army officer.

Once again Milan Luthriamanages to live up to his promise; although this is not one of his bests! He is the man who has has delivered 'KachcheDhaage' and 'Once Up on a Time in Mumbaai' and this piece is nowhere close to his earlier work. Powerful writing by Rajat Arora comes as a savior. Numerous scenes are packed with metaphorical dialogues that will build the required tension without any drama. The background score, picturesque cinematography and crisp editing also make this a commendable thriller. This one deserves good audience, especially the ones who enjoy the thrillin the chase!
