The film then isn’t unwatchable, but at 2 hours and 35 minutes, it certainly tests your patience. How many times have you ordered a dish that looks terrific photographed in a menu, but disappoints when it shows up on the table? Bang Bang is that kind of meal.

Aside from a few sharply written scenes – including one in which they give each other tips on how to be better in the sack – the film feels tired and over-familiar, and never breaks new ground.

There are some interesting themes at play, but sadly they aren’t explored with much inventiveness.

What started off promisingly is never fully exploited. Shame.

Alas the film doesn’t spook you, or deliver so much as a few cheap thrills despite the pop-out 3D effects. This is standard B-movie material that plods on for a full 2 hours and 15 minutes. Still, I’m going with a generous 2 out of five for Creature 3D. It’s an ambitious attempt, weighed down by pedestrian storytelling.

It’s perfectly watchable, but never great like it should’ve been.

… has a few moments of genuine awe and wonder, but there’s too much plot and relatively lesser dancing this time round, which defeats the very purpose of watching these movies. This franchise is in urgent need of some new moves.

Bland, unimaginative, and entirely pointless, this is one film that needn’t have been made. Stay home and take a nap instead.

Neither as entertaining as your average Emraan Hashmi thriller, nor clever enough to engage anyone seeking a deliciously complex caper, Raja Natwarlal is the kind of film that leaves you bored out of your mind. It won’t give you a migraine, but it’s so banal, you would probably have more fun doing your laundry instead.

…a disappointing film that might have benefitted from investing more in script rewrites than star salaries. Its nostalgia value aside, this is one noisy bore.
