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

If there were not some major flaws in the movie like the guy easily hacking immigration site to update his status of boarding a flight to USA,police never enquiring his office whether he is working at the onsite assignment and he roaming around the city taking the risk of police or someone of the goons to see him(let alone his colleagues or friends or friends of friends in the city)......
this movie would have been a perfect treatment of what I would say the first true superhero movie of India..not the childish adaptations like Krish.
Bhavesh Joshi and his friend, Sikku wanted to bring a change and obviously they are not bruce Wayne or Peter Parker or Tony Stark. but what mattered is they tried and here lies the crust of the film--a superhero is one who tries to bring a change even though he may fail doing that.
The treatment of the movie was awesome --acting brilliant! Both the guys enacted Sikku and Bhavesh Joshi perfectly. I tried not to create a spoiler--go watch it if you liked Nolan's adaptation of Batman ( not that are remotely comparable in class but because they tell us superheroes are ordinary human beings like us but they try and care to bring a difference)

With all the dumb things being shown in Indian movies, it was time that they bring out something new. When I saw the trailer, I was very eager to see the movie and the movie didn't disappoint me. It is a slow, well written start to a very good , maybe even awesome superhero movie series. Looks like India finally has a superhero. A hint of sequel has been given at the last when the title changes from Bhavesh Joshi to Bhavesh Joshi superhero. Nishikant kamat once again slays. Vikramaditya Motwane is seen bringing a change in the Indian cinema. But yes, this superhero, we don't really deserve. There are 20 shows a day running for a dumb movie like veere di wedding and just 4-5 shows for Bhavesh Joshi. This movie definitely needs to reach the audience.
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.
