Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint Like previous works, which include Tashan and Dhoom 3, Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan is big but hollow. Jul 29, 2019 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Vijay Krishna Acharya's expensive and exuberant Bollywood masala delivers the goods as a satisfying popcorn epic. Nov 12, 2018 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian This is a film with money to burn, and it unabashedly torches each rupee before your eyes. Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Poulomi Das Arré Vijay Krishna Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan is one of Bollywood's most unambitious and derivative films; it redefines the idea of an epic disaster. Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Pooja Pande BookMyShow This is a film you're allowed to get legit excited about. It's for the first time we see the Aamir-Amitabh combo. It is a good Diwali treat with a lot of fireworks and stunning visuals. Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Rahul Desai Film Companion Less than an hour into this film, it got so boring and predictable that I began to make up vivid backstories in my head. Rated: 1/5 Nov 10, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Sss Total flop. Boring. Fell asleep. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/22 Full Review sachin j Bad story, bad overacting by Aamir Khan Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is so underrated ,, I don't understand why the bad reviews and why it was a flop !!! great entertainment and wonderful cast (except for Katrina.. I'm not a fan :-)) ,, it has some directorial flaws but it can pass. highly recommend. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie is highly entertaining. It is an entertaining family movie with a nice plot and a lot of action. Aamir was on point as always and I loved his character. Mr. Bachchan is a legend and he's in that stage of his career by my opinion , in which it is enough for him just to be in the movie. Fatima was a delight to watch. Someone I really liked is the girl playing young Zafira (Deshna Dugad). She's done pretty well for the small role she had and for her young age. PROS: Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. While Amitabh and Fatima did not have much material, every time they were on screen, they were extremely impressive with the stunts in their fight sequences. The two of them also have a nice character arc that I wont spoil. And Aamir Khan is always the best. Just because he acts cheerful and full of energy, doesn't mean he is Jack Sparrow as some people believe. The fight sequences are really, really well-done, especially for a Bollywood movie with amazing fight choreography, realistic looking ships and outstanding visual effects. The VFX were nowhere near as bad as some people have so harshly dismissed. The background score is great. Its generally a feel-good film. This is the perfect popcorn entertainer that will make you laugh and keep your spirits high with terrific action sequences and good acting. CONS: The story could have been a little more complex. Some of the editing in the fight sequences, at times was a little choppy, although were great! The movie could have been a little shorter. All in all, it is a simple, straightforward story that feels like a summer blockbuster entertainer. So , in conclusion, if you are in a mood for an entertaining action , the movie will leave you with a good feeling. Give it a try.. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member So truly bizarre a film that in half a generation it will have a cult following, much as Plan 9 From Outer Space does. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/21/19 Full Review Vipin K Needs bit more graphics Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/19 Full Review Read all reviews
