Like previous works, which include Tashan and Dhoom 3, Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan is big but hollow.

Variety

Vijay Krishna Acharya's expensive and exuberant Bollywood masala delivers the goods as a satisfying popcorn epic.

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.

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.

Less than an hour into this film, it got so boring and predictable that I began to make up vivid backstories in my head.

Thugs of Hindostan is a visually stunning spectacle that transports viewers to a grand, adventurous era. The cinematic scenes are rich with detail, offering breathtaking visuals and a strong sense of place. The action and set designs are immersive, making the film a treat for lovers of epic storytelling. Katrina Kaif delivers an enchanting and captivating performance—both erotic and sensuous—lighting up the screen with her presence and dance sequences. Despite mixed reviews, the film stands out for its grandeur and entertainment value.
