A young man's desire to do well sets him on a journey from ordinary citizen to superhero vigilante.

Udita Jhunjhunwala

The film's flaw is that it's trying to say too much and doing so at such a painful pace that much of a good intention is lost in execution.

Rated: 2.5/5

In the film the issue feels too flat and tame. Somewhere Motwane gets too self-aware and conscious-be it the genre of superhero cinema he is playing with or the issue of corruption itself. The point gets belaboured and the film too protracted.

The Indian Express

Thrillingly staged, effortlessly relatable and endearingly sincere, Bhavesh Joshi remains one of Hindi cinema's most unfairly overlooked recent gems.

An atmospheric, dark and grounded film that could perhaps be told at a slightly faster and more powerful pace, but still uses its superhero approach freshly enough to shed some light on real-life grievances.

Rated: 7/10

The third act of the film is essentially a lesson in misdirection...

To call Bhavesh Joshi Superhero a lost opportunity is a gross understatement. To compare it to the other genre misfires from this country would be a disservice to its aspirational tone.

Good attempt to create an Indian vigilante. Acting falls short of the mark though

One of the most underrated superhero movies that deserved way much more credit. Everything from storyline, direction, acting to casting is perfect. And the best part is the camera work and background score. It keeps one hooked with those seamless transitions, flashes of 'oldboy' type onecut scenes. If it had to be an indian superhero it definitely needs to be Bhavesh Joshi, and not a teenager bitten by spider/bat/snake. Bottomline, if you want original superhero w/o big CGI and over the top story this is it. It feels very real and pulsating. Especially the last scene, goosebumps for real. Brilliant job everyone. This goes on the must watch movie lost and will definitely have its own fan following in the future.

42% CRITICS' SCORE?!!?!!? WHAT!?!!?!! Bhavesh Joshi is a masterpiece that Bollywood (and critics) don't deserve! Directed by the acclaimed Vikramaditya Motwane, Bhavesh Joshi tells an exceptional, grounded, fresh origin story of a superhero that is only driven by one motive: to take down corruption. I will not spoil anything about this movie because you should see this masterpiece for yourself. You will be surprised by just how good it is. The fact that this movie did not perform well at the box office is a crime, considering Indians were clamoring for an Indian superhero. Final Rating: 83/100
