…the look and feel of the film tacky, and the scatological humor mostly off-putting. I’m going with one out of five for Besharam. A major misfire in every way.

Besharam is not a film. It is Bollywood’s brightest young star stooping to conquer, in search of the mass market. There is no motif in the film other than making Ranbir the new Salman. But why do that when we already have a Salman?

The producers’ money and the actors’ time have already been wasted by Besharam. I recommend that you save both by skipping it. I’m going with one star.

Besharam is so unbelievably sloppy and senseless, not even the best actors in the business can redeem it no matter how hard they try.

Besharam, rambunctious and robust, does not offer much by way of narrative novelty. But like Dabangg, it sets a crackling pace and does not flinch from the prospect of going over the edge in its pursuit of cheap thrills.

Watch Besharam primarily for Ranbir Kapoor and the zany climax in an old-world warehouse where the ghosts of many Hindi movie heroes of yore are invoked.

I can’t decide what’s worse, Lalit Pandit’s music or Abhinav Kashap’s direction. Mr Kashyap, you got the Kapoor clan in attendance and your lead actor did his bit.. is that enough?

Skip this Besharam film!

Besharam has too many shortcomings and lacks the ravishing junk delight of calamitous ending that commercial flicks usually generate. However, it is only worth for Ranbir, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor who in their respective roles, give us in patches, an insistently enjoyable time! It is fit for an average entertainer and I am going with a 2.5/5 for this sweet mammoth of passable cinema! You can go watch this and have a judiciously fun time, but don’t expect the enchantment of Dabangg! This doesn’t even near it by an ounce.

This film proves the adage ‘All that glitters is not gold’ absolutely right. BESHARAM is a huge disappointment!

This is unadulterated lame, lazy and embarrassing writing.
Here’s one word to sum it up – avoid.

Yeah, this could have been Ranbir Kapoor’s Rangeela. It’s funny in some parts but nowhere as good and only half as much fun as director Abhinav Kashyap’s Dabanng.

As Ranbir fan, one would not really mind the movie. But it does not make an impact as ‘Dabbang’ moment for the hero. The superstar in the making is probably is a much better actor than a masala entertainer and that’s something that he has proven in his previous movies. The filmmaker did not have a proper vision for an actor of Ranbir’s calibre and this one is certainly not the best for either of them!

Besharam is just one more in the pile of masala excess. There’s nothing new here.
Filmmakers and stars should realise that a formula done fifty times over is not a similar golden egg-laying goose. The only motivation behind Besharam is to devise a hit– to work a spreadsheet and spit out receipts worth Rs 100 cr at the box office.
