      Sparsh H The story is very flawed and twists are forcefully added to move the plot forward. It lacks the strong character and protagonist is almost like a cardboard character here. There is no dept, no dimensions to his character. Anand L. Ray's production is known to produce quality entertainers with unique stories, but this one is very poorly written and poorly executed. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Nadan P Tt is another attempt of India to defame it's neighboring country Pakistan which has now become a habit of Bollywood. Extremist media of India refuse to live amicably and continues to sow seeds of hatred in it's nation. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Suprateek A After avoiding the film for nearly eight months I wanted to give this film a shot and here are my thoughts. The action sequences in the film were just amazing and has some great action from Bollywood after a long time.The parkour sequences were my favourite. Although they are good few of them felt like a roadblock to me which I didn't appreciate. The performances of Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat were really good and they do leave a great impression on the audiences. But the rest failed to do the same. My feelings towards the film are fairly mixed and felt that the writing could've been better. There was this one character reveal which has no impact due to the writing. The film's suspense couldn't hold my attention which was the biggest letdown. Although the debutant Anirudh Iyer did a decent job I feel like this should've been a Sriram Raghavan film. The ending in my opinion saved the film because I actually liked it and found it interesting. Due to that I left the film feeling a bit satisfied. I wish the satire and the dark humour presented in the film was as good as it was in the ending. But in the end the film was able to put its point across in a fairly decent film. Some call it underrated few call it a waste of time but I fall in the category of people who thinks it's a one time watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Douglas P Complete and utter nonsense, no storyline, and the plot is all over the place. Chota Bheem has a better plot. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Yasir A Good watch.. twists keep you on the edge of your seat 👌 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Rudra T not giving 4 stars coz this could have been better, a lot better, amazing story line amazing locations, perfect acting, etc etc but something was missing . totally worth watching you won't "Hamshakals(2004)" your time Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Ayushmann Khurrana-Jaideep Ahlawat deliver a caper which is mostly fun... Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express An Action Hero chooses victimhood over vicious satire. The humour is forced, the satire is toothless, and the meta-commentary pedestrian. Feb 2, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix An Action Hero is a completely predictable chase movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. It manages to be entertaining because of its cheeky comedy, thrilling action, and satirical take on celebrity worship of movie stars. Jan 7, 2023 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Khurrana’s skill at playing a man in a tight spot is most useful in a film that frequently paints itself into corners. Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Tanul Thakur The Wire The Ayushmann Khurrana starrer doesn’t spare anyone, including – and especially – the Indian public and media’s confused, helpless, and toxic relationship with stardom. Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV The film bustles with coiled energy every time Jaideep Ahlawat is on the screen as a toughie responding to a rough, ready and rustic notion of justice and self-worth. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
