Kartik Aaryan film feels like a set. And everyone feels like they are acting out set-pieces in this Netflix thriller.

Rated: 1/5

Film Companion

Kartik Aaryan stretches himself as an actor in Dhamaka but the scenario is too outlandish.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Dhamaka is over-exaggerated and bloated by its mediocre secondary characters. Still, its action, drama, and main character carry it strong enough to warrant a watch

Rated: 7.5/10

Dhamaka doesn't always hit the right buttons and Kartik Aaryan is a puny choice for a role of enormous calibre and incessant focus.

Rated: 2.5/5

JK Sooja

Common Sense Media

A decent effort with some big names almost saves this rehashed thriller. The problem with Dhamaka is largely that it doesn't do anything that new or entertaining beyond the genre's expected tropes.

Rated: 2/5

So predictable and so stupid how things act in the movie. Like the police who has counter terrorism experience says that it will take 3 hours to locate the terrorist who is just near 10 km from the media building... And he says that he's keep changing his IP address...🙄 Anyways then the media anchor who has zero experience says that the terrorist can see the building so he must be near .. like with... Couldn't the "counter blah blah " find out🙄🙄 Next... The acting of the deputy minister is so unreal... They could have make it realistic... It was so stupid to watch the movie where the dialogues were so lame. Kartik Aryan is better in marketing videos where he looks cool ... Not in movies... His voice modulation is so bad... All the emotions look the same 😑... So that's it...✌️

Poor dialogues, poor acting poor direction. Story has no direction there is no connection throughout the movie. Storyteller has tried to build emotional connection but has failed terribly. Dialogues delivery of actors is very casual and without any preparation.

The movie tried to address a very interesting and important topic but the script was very sloppy. I am sure many actors rejected this movie after seeing the script. The director should have been smart enough to now mix a serious topic with a love story is showing the ignorance of understanding the topic in the first place. In terms of acting, more focus was given to the hairstyle of the actor than his expressions.

Why wont they depict a little realistic terrorism / hostage situation handling? People are creating Interstellar, and we have this rubbish that assumes its audience to be idiots. I want my time back.
