Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap is an average action movie but it has got one thing which other average movies don't have - the baap of all entertainers.Big B.Direction by Puri Jagannadh is okay. Story is nothing great. Music is okay.Performance wise,Amitabh rules this movie.He simply rocks man. Hema Malini does great in her role. Sonu Sood looks like son of big b and does well. The two heroines are horrible. Raveena is also horrible. Prakash Raj shines as villain. Rest are okay.In other words, a average movie which is given life by spirited performance of Big B
... View Moreespecially this one--- – See all my reviews Hindi cinema has a big influence over millions of people and I admire all the filmmakers who make films like Buddha Hoga Tera Baap. Its an amazing story of a gangster who was a robin hood in his early days and still has potential carry the legacy of Robin Hood. Amitabh Bacchan Rocked it. I cant even imagine any other actor in this world I mean literally in this world including Hollywood and any other cinema who would look as good as Amitabh Bacchan in this role.I don't have to say any thing about his performance, He is one of the finest Actor of the century.This Movie moved me. I had never written any review but I couldn't wait to write my feelings about this movie. It's a must see movie for any body who is a lover of Hindi Cinema and those who want to understand Hindi Cinema.
... View More"Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap" is -- first, last, and altogether -- an Amitabh Bachchan vehicle. And how!The Man may be, bless him, all of 68 years old (69 in October, apparently) but he hasn't lost a step. Charming, witty, even sexy, he's still an effective action hero in a role that, honestly, I don't think ANYONE else could have pulled off.For a film sporting the tagline 'Big B Is Back' ... (where had he gone? an actor who shoots as many films as HE does every year?) ... this completely character-driven action comedy about a supposedly retired hit-man showcases all the full range of qualities Amitabh Bachchan can bring to the screen. Drama. Romance. Action. Comedy. What doesn't The Man do? Here he even sings -- in his uniquely growly, gnarly voice -- every song in the film.Absolutely delicious!The character, if not the story or scenario, is fresh and original.Most of the supporting cast take a back seat, here. Sonu Sood, for instance, merely had to look butch and hit the gym, for his undemanding role here as an honest policeman. But who really cares?And, to give credit where credit is definitely due, two Actors-Not-Called-Bachchan also brought particularly good work.Prakash Raj -- the South Indian veteran lead actor from such disparate films as charming Telugu comedy, 2009's "Aakasamantha" and classic Tamil political drama, 1997's "Iruvar" -- matches Mr Bachchan shot for shot, as the evil mafialord Kabir. Their final confrontation delights.Special credit, though, to a lesser known actor who proves anew that old saw about 'no small parts, only small actors'. Makrand Deshpande, whom I last saw beating up Mr Bachchan's real-life daughter-in-law (Aishwarya Rai) in last year's brilliant "Guzaarish", here converts a small but much more sympathetic part as a would-be bad guy into someone the audience unexpectedly enjoys and connects with.Bottom Line, though: Amitabh Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan.Savour while ye can!
... View MoreA nonsensical piece of crap not worth your time. Devoid of any script, acting and anything bordering logic. Not much more to say, avoid unless you need an excuse to see Amitabh Bachchan on screen. But even then you need to be a really hardcore fan to sit through this mindless dribble.The story fluctuates without any sense of direction, Amitabh Bachchan is a mere shadow of his former self, the direction is incredibly lousy, feels like the director left the camera on and just left. I am amazed at all the good reviews coming out of India, in particular a reviewer called Taran Adarsh who seems to lack the balls to be objective now days. The pressure on critics to give a positive review must be incredible for movies from these older actors who have a lot of pull in town. I really hope Mr Bachchan gets better scripts in the future as he still has some good years left. Unfortunately, with Bollywood's one track obsession with "love stories" there is not much scope for mature actors to showcase their talents.
