‘Baadshaho’ Early Review: Loosely Tied but Action-Packed

Ajay Devgn’s Baadshaho is strictly a one-time watch.

Ajay Devgn’s Baadshaho has finally hit the screens. The Milan Luthria directorial, which also stars Emraan Hashmi in a pivotal role, is an action-packed masala flick.

According to a review in Khaleej Times, the film is “mercifully not another Shivay. The action is more believable, and the film has a core plot giving room for most characters to stand on their feet”.

But critics do think the film could’ve been better had it “resisted its urge for unneeded heroism and repetitive punch-line delivery from practically everyone in the cast”.

Stronger writing with less of the repetitive lines, firmer editing, and more realistic approach to the central narrative without the predictable invincibility of the protagonists could have made Baadshaho a more compelling film.

While the pairing of Ajay Devgn and Emraan Hashmi has worked in the past (Once Upon A Time in Mumbai), we will have to see how the audiences react to Baadshaho which also stars Ileana D’Cruz, Vidyut Jamwal and Esha Gupta.
