Bachchhan Paandey Is A Loud, Joyless Bore. This Bollywood remake of Jigarthanda (2014) mangles the original beyond recognition.

Rating Score -> 2.5/5

For the action fans, there is enough brutality and bloodbath that is shot in slick frames. Given that it’s a remake of a formula film in the genre of dark, action comedies, ‘Bachchhan Paandey’ replicates what has already worked in the south. But even with all its grandiosity and starpower, this one only manages to entertain in bits and pieces.

Rating Score -> 2/5

With six writers (and that’s excluding the original one, which was Subbaraj!), Bachchan Pandey is a classic example of too many cooks doing you-know-what. Even the ‘twist’ fails to save this one.

Rating Score -> 2/5

Bachchhan Paandey is being promoted as an action and comedy film. If action means violence, and more violence, then this certainly is not an action film. The action is ghastly: There is constant swishing of knives that jar one's ear drums. Is it then a comedy?

Rating Score -> n/a

On the whole, Bachchhan Paandey is an average fare with a weak climax. Its business will be adversely affected due to the huge opposition of last week’s The Kashmir Files (which is still going great guns at the ticket windows) and next week’s huge release, RRR.

8. Indian Express -

Rating Score -> 1/5

Akshay Kumar film is too much pain with zero gain. Nothing about this Akshay Kumar-Kriti Sanon film reaches the level of hilarity plus inspired lunacy of the original, Jigarthanda.

9. Pune Mirror -

Rating Score -> 2.5/5

Overall, this Akshay Kumar-starrer, although it ends on a high note, with a message of good triumphing over evil, it fails to keep the audience enthralled, except in parts.

10. Hindustan Times -

Rating Score -> n/a

Despite the film's story not being up to the mark, the pace of the narrative could have helped to some degree, but even there, it falters. The first half entices you with some twists and turns but the screenplay is so dragged in some places, that for a brief period, it becomes a snooze fest.
