What 9 critics are saying

Critical reception for Bhaiaji Superhit is largely negative, with most critics finding it a poorly executed, illogical entertainer that wastes its cast. The few mildly positive notices came from reviewers who appreciated its self-aware silliness and cheesy, spoofy tone, with Raja Sen noting that Sunny Deol anchors a surprisingly fun film. However, the majority of critics dismissed it as an incompetent vanity vehicle, with recurring complaints about its incoherent screenplay, forced comedy, and the sense that its veteran stars were being poorly served by the material. Several reviewers noted the film's squandered comic potential and its failure to work as either a comedy or a gangster film.

    Sunny Deol rocks a surprisingly fun film...Unlike a Dabanng or a Singham, this Sunny Deol-starrer knows how silly it is.

    On paper, this is not a bad bunch to be spending a couple of hours with. On screen, the whole thing is beyond terrible.

    It does get a bit too much at times. But don't mind. Bhaiaji Deol wants Bhabhiji Zinta back at any cost. All blazing guns and spoofy drama, this is where you want to go this weekend if you are looking for some cheesy fun.

  4. Times Of India

    Film review ·

    If over the top spectacle's which defy logic, gravity and other rules are your cup of tea, this one's for you. For the rest, this one is best enjoyed sitting in the barber shop as it plays on the television behind you.

  5. Deccan Chronicle

    Film review ·

    For all its gags and antic situations, this neither comic nor gangster rivalry film, turns into a case of cinema stretchery.

  7. Rediff

    Film review ·

    verybody keeps bumping into each other as if they're living inside a fish bowl. Only it's weed, not water, they are floating in. What I've just described is only the icing of the Bhaiaji baloney.

  8. Film Companion

    Film review ·

    The Most Incompetent And Tasteless Vanity Vehicle Of The Year...Starring Preity Zinta, Sunny Deol, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade amongst others, this film should have been titled Ghosts of Bollywood Past.

  9. The Hindu

    Film review ·

    Bhaiaji Superhit is nothing more than three yesteryear stars being forced to embrace their own obsolescence.
