Thumbs up by Anna Vetticad, annavetticadgoes2themovies ...In purely artistic terms, there are plenty of holes I could pick in this film. But what’s endearing about it is that it’s not pretending to be anything but an out-and-out paean to The Bachchan’s Angry Young Man days, right from the name of the film’s official website http://www.bigbisback.com/ ... full review

Thumbs up by Githa Vanan, Bolly Spice ...Let’s just say Amitabh Bachchan isn’t called Big B for just his height. The almost 70 year old [okay so he’s 68] is nothing short of King Size on screen.... full review

So-So by Smita, Desi Martini ...The problem with this film is that it does not know whether it wants to tell a straightforward story, or is a parody/spoof/pastiche of an ageing superstars old films or a tribute to the prowess of the said superstar.... full review

So-So by Blessy Chettiar, DNA ...2-hour ad campaign for Amitabh Bachchan... full review
Thumbs down by Deepa Deosthalee, Film Impressions ...It's a poignant moment, one that actually brings a lump to your throat—to see your childhood superhero age into a pathetic old man parodying himself, because there's little else he can do.... full review
So-So by Deepa Gahlot, Film Impressions ...a homage film needed more of the Zanjeer Bachchan and less of the Boom one. ... full review
Thumbs up by Devesh Sharma, Filmfare ...Raveena steals the show as this love-struck 40-something mom who becomes a full time flirt upon meeting her lover again. ... full review
So-So by Nupur Barua, fullhyd.com ...Charmme Kaur is bubbly and fun, and she plays her small part with aplomb. Sonal Chauhan has one expression throughout, and her role is quite superfluous. ... full review
Thumbs up by Rachana, Glamsham.com ...Besides glorifying Amitabh Bachchan, Puri has equally paid heed to the story and narrative of the film. ... full review

Thumbs down by Rajeev Masand, IBN Live ...A lazy film... full review
Thumbs down by Shubhra Gupta, indian express ...No one delivers dialogue (never just lines, okay?) with such impeccable timing as he does; and as to romance, well, just look at him look at Hema. ... full review

Thumbs down by Udita Jhunjhunwala, Live Mint ...The film is tailormade for front-benchers’ riotous hooting.... full review
So-So Mixed Bag ...Sonal Chauhan is irritating and plastic. Ditto for Shawar Ali.... full review
Thumbs down Movie Talkies ...One hopes that even if Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap isn't a very good film, the Big B returns in such roles soon, in better written cinema. ... full review
Thumbs down by Mansha Rastogi, Now Running.com ...will work only for the Bachchan fan frenzy. For the others it is a disappointing fair. ... full review
Thumbs up by Subhash K Jha, Now Running.com ...The rapport that his character builds up through some lovely actresses of several generations (Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon, Sonal Chauhan, Charmee) is so bloody robust and funny, you are left wondering how much of the sly subtle foxy flirtatiousness comes from the star and how much of it was there in the screenplay.... full review
So-So by Bhavikk Sangghvi, Planet Bollywood ...Prakash Raj as the villain is fantastic and also brings in humour in his character. ... full review

Thumbs up by Nikhat Kazmi, Times of India ...high dose entertainer when the veteran actor never stops amazing you with the range of his histrionics. ... full review
Thumbs down by Reel Reptile, Upper Stall ...The tribute would seem less out of place down South where all Rajini sir or 'Chiru' needs to do is appear on screen for the audiences to go wild and worship their demi-God in any role. To expect that the same would hold true here at this stage of evolution in Bollywood, might be expecting a bit too much... full review

loved teh review - well articulated.
now i NEED to know how you liked the film. When are you going to watch it?
after first half i was contemplating going and watching delhi belly again ... in hindi this time ... but better sense prevailed and with little help from Coke and popcorn and pestering from wife to see more of Hema Malini decided to stay ... and that decision was comparable to MSD decision to come ahead of Yuvraj in finals... second half rocks !! in fact the best part of the movie was its climax ... that entire fight sequence was very nicely thought through ...Amitabh sir !! You are the Best !
Hey! why no note pad !!
@Vishal that's a hilarious comparison. I'm thinking of giving up on notepad section.
Please dont!!!
Give up the notepad, i mean.. (gulp)
Hmmm... Harsh thanks for the vote of confidence. Will re-think, but seriously, I don't have the energy for it after having watched and reviewed 2-3 movies in a day. And I started feeling I wasn't doing the idea justice by doing a quick/shabby note. Sorry, but will surely think about it.
Totally understandable.. But I really really REALLY digged that section. One of the many things which sets this place apart (and makes me come back everytime I watch a new release).
Ok Harsh, will try and restart. It might just be a question of one extra cup of coffee in the system :D
