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.

Just for Movie Freaks

Dhamaka is a very ordinary thriller that is suitable to watch if you’re just bored and want to something to pass the time.

Rated: 2.75/5

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

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

an exact copy of the Korean movie Terror Live I’ve seen people saying that the plotline was bad but Kartik Aryan’s acting was what was worse.

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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.

'Dhamaka' is a compelling thriller that delivers through an intense, though somewhat exaggerated, yet powerful story.
