THE
MOVIE REVIEWS
• rediff
- Bobby [Deol] talks with his fists
- "Kabir Bedi gnashes
his teeth and raises his eyebrows to great effect, but he doesn't quite get under
the skin of villain."
• mid-day
- Too Kranti-social
rating: 1
- "...and Kabir Bedi looks
as
out of place as macaroni in sambar."
• tazaa.com [offline]
- "Kabir Bedi, cast as the
suave, scheming, treacherous arch-villain Mahendra Singh Rana, carries the weight
of his towering personality with great sophistication and a pleasant touch of
lightness."
• BBC
- Asianlife [offline]
- "Kabir Bedi makes a welcome
comeback as the villain and looks very suave and sophisticated."
• indiafm
- with Kabir Bedi still
- "Kabir Bedi is okay."
• apunkachoice
- "Only Kashmira Shah’s raunchy dance number is quite
an
eye-catcher
and so is the versatile Om Puri’s cameo."
• my-india
rating: poor (*)
- "Kabir Bedi is good in the role of villain."
• fullHyderabad
rating: 1½
- "The varieties of emotions shown by Bobby Deol. The first is the "I
love Amisha's pout" expression, and the other is the "I am going to
have Kabir Bedi's ponytail for
dinner" one.
