Dir. Mr. Tingmanshu Dhulia has taken a confused take on this political drama. This is not a film but a project, whether first you decide actors, then some action scenes, some love scenes and a political backdrop to create drama. Eventually no story comes as outcome. Screenplay is predicative besides few scenes. Dialogues by Director himself is very good. Even the opening dialogue of film is very impressive. Film looses logic at most of the places. If, a person thought about another to kill in his home only and the other person has arrived then what is the need to create childish drama, where he eventually kills him through blast? Because another person has few goons with him, so the blast was required and five minutes unnecessary screen time!!? Love between the lead pair is not well established. An I.A.S rank of officer thinks with his body muscles rather than his brain muscles!? He prefers to combat rather than plan, because this actor is good at fight!!! There are lots of things who indicate that role was considered according to actors caliber rather than the flow and requirement of film. A hard core villain pretends to become Radha and Police believe!!! Performance wise Saif Ali Khan is very good. Sonakshi Sinha has not very much scope but she is good. Raj Babber, Gulshan Grover, Jimmy Shergill, Sharat Saxena , Vipin Sharma are OK. Vidyut Jamwal is very good at stunt but not that much good at act. Ravi Kishan is fine. Music is also very average

Saw the movie today . it was an average movie with predictable storyline. Saif's friend jimmy dies before the interval and it was too predictable that he is going to have revenge. i was expecting a more better drama with full of twists but there was nothing as such. it turns out to be the same masala movie which we see every week. the concept was very old fashioned (hero never dies) . vidyut jamwal character was too short. they could have made a better story to show the rivalry between a good cop vs the saif gang with full of twist and suspense. The only good thing in this movie was that saif acted very well. it kept me entertaining till the end. sonakshi sinha was not given any important role. her character was dull. one time watch movie.

This is a movie that delivers action, entertainment, masala, jay-veeru type friendship, etc. One thing good was that script is not brainless, unlike the trend in bollywood these days. It is like watching Saheb biwi gangster topped with action of dabangg. I felt it was disappointing in the second half. Sonakshi Sinha is yet to take a serious role. It is the same role she performs every time. Manoj Vajpayee wasn't used much either. Some witty dialogues in the movie kept the audience entertained. Saif and Jimmy lived up to the expectations. The climax was similar to Race films i.e. a twist at the end. Overall, I felt it could have been better though its a one time watch.

I just can't believe that this movie was directed from the director of great movies like Haasil, Pan Singh Tomar and Saaheb Biwi aur Gangster. This movie seems to be a disappointment and just a masaala movie to a great extent. However, in an interview, Mr. Dhulia himself said that he selected Saif Ali Khan because he wanted to generate revenue for his movie. But he would compromise with the quality of his movie and goodwill to such an extent, this was beyond my imagination. There were some questions that remained unanswered: What was the need to introduce the martial arts expert Vidyut Jamwal as a crucial player in the whole game? What was the need to kill Jimmy Shergil for inciting Saif Ali Khan? Could this movie be reformed as a good directional project? Could this movie do well even in absence of the star casts like Vidyut, Gulshan Grover and Sonakshi Sinha? Was there the need of dialogues like "jab aayenge toh garmi badhegi"? I rate this movie 2.5 out of 5. Nothing much it deserves. Believe me.

It felt as if Tigamanshu Dhulia on the sets of Saheb, Biwi, Gangster Returns suddenly decided that he had enough of Machiavellian twists and unlimited adultery. And that it was time to take a break from nuanced, heavy duty fare and make a good, old fashioned mas-ala action movie. And even in this genre Dhulia shows how it is done, folks- Bullet Raja easily takes my vote as the Hindi action extravaganza of the year. Bullet Raja has 75% of the lead star cast (Jimmy Shergill, Raj Babbar, Mahie Gill), 100% of the setting (the heartland of India, Uttar Pradesh), and about 90% of the characters (twisted, scheming politicians, trigger happy gangsters, passionate lovers) of Saheb, Biwi and Gangster Returns. Central to the story is the bromance between Rudra (Shergill) and Raja (Saif), both as different from each other like Rahul and Sourav were, but mighty effective together as only Rahul and Sourav were. Raja is the perennially angry Raavan, who is never one to shy away from a fight. He is essentially Agent Vinod in a rustic environment, the script only requires that he keeps the scowl throughout, but occasionally he lets the court jester in him take over. Shergill is the methodical Rudra, and the movie is about how the two of them reluctantly become feared gangsters, or as it is euphemistically put- political commandos. Like Jai and Veeru, it is very much an ode to friendship and loyalty. In between Raja does get time to romance a hefty Sonakshi Sinha, and put bullet holes in almost anything that moves against him. While it might be just another action movie, Tigamanshu Dhulia has ensured that it carries his stamp of quality all over. The production design is authentic, and never does any scene feel out of place, even the diction in the Bengali sequences is bullseye. The dialogs are exceptionally funny full on desi, and he does an excellent job in portraying the politician-industry nexus with minimal effort. Of special note are the action sequences- they do not feel gravity defying, artificial and wire driven, there is a certain gritty beauty to them. And to counter a raging bull like Raja, Vidyut Jamval's special appearance was a masterstroke- he brings so much of realism to his stunt-work. Raj Babbar's fatherly politician, Vipin Sharma's incarcerated fixer who skypes out of jail, Gulshan Grover's lecherous industrialist, and Ravi Kishan's drag king hit-man are other stupendous characters. Agreed the songs are mostly an interference, Sonakshi Sinha does her regular dumb girl act here too, and the film could have been a bit shorter. Bullet Raja is that rare Dhulia film that is not destined for any awards, but when it comes to enjoyment and entertainment this year, it is right up there. Do not look at ratings, take a leap of faith, bite this bullet- 8/10

In the late 60's Italian Director Sergio Leone made movies featuring Clint Eastwood which were referred to as Spaghetti Westerns, since they were kind of cowboy flicks made in Italy. Now years later, We have Tigmanshu Dhulia hitting base with a movie titled BULLET RAJA which can vye for the same honor-references are made in the film to Sholay-which also successfully tried the same genre. The opening shootout sequence is worth watching, reminding you of the Paul Newman starrer "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Saif Ali Khan and Jimmy Shergill involved in a back to back gunfight (literally), you have Saif shooting and Jimmy taking time to reload-which gives the audience a taste of what is to come. What can you say about a movie which has two major action sequences in the first half an hour of the movie, if you are an action lover-this movie is for you. Saif and Jimmy become best of pals when the former saves the latter's family from a slaughter led by Chunkey Pandey. Situations force Saif and Jimmy to become political commandos executing opposite party members in style. They are hire for guns to Raj Babar a political leader. A sudden event resulting in a kidnapping makes things sour between the heroes and their master. An event towards the break, makes Saif a kind of a fugitive. The shootouts are executed in style and yes there is tongue in cheek humor before Saif fires a fatal shot. Saif is brilliant in the title role, but it is Jimmy Shergill who steals the show with his brilliant performance. Sonakshi Sinha is wasted as Saif's live-in girl friend, trust me, even if the character was not included, it would not have made much difference to the movie's plot. Mahi Gill manages to raise the heat with her sizzling item song in the opening sequence. Watch the movie if you are an action buff and are kind of tired of all those mushy Bollywood romances

Tigmanshu Dhulia is back with a gripping story-line and crisp dialogs that hold your attention throughout the movie.Shots from all famous places in and around Lucknow...from Imambara,Hazratganj,Residency,Airport,High Court to Malihabad and Barabanki jail have been captured. Jimmy Sheirgill is excellent and Saif shines as Raja Mishra.They both give performances worthy of giving them nomination in next year's award functions. Wherein all the actors from Raj Babbar to Gulshan Grover suit in their respective roles, however Mahi Gill looks vulgar and Vidyut Jamwal, with a wooden face has nothing more to showcase except few circus stunts. A special mention for the peppy number Tamanche Pe Disco. You will love the movie for its desi dialects (provided you understand their meaning) and for Saif Ali Khan. Go For It.

BR begins on a very uninspiring note unlike director's previous films and when one gets to see an item song within the first 10 minutes only all of a sudden, it becomes pretty clear that this has not been made as per the exact vision of the person behind films like HAASIL, CHARAS, SHAGIRD and PAAN SINGH TOMAR. Yes, BULLETT RAJA too has got a part of that raw, unforgiving and realistic Tigmanshu feel in its initial moments using the local dialect and settings. But an all predictable screenplay

With only the climax decorating itself as a savior, Tigmanshu Dhulia disappoints, big time. With accordance to what his movies have been flaunting lately, Bullett Raja lies nowhere near and when even the cast cannot help the film, it can be only best described as "below average." Starting off with an instant bonhomie between Saif Ali Khan

Tigmanshu Dhulia started it with 'Haasil' on the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh dirty politics. "Haasil"…
Tigmanshu Dhulia started it with 'Haasil' on the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh dirty politics. "Haasil" explored the rural India, leaving the chiffon cinema aside; it showed that that there is real and earthy world beyond the picturesque imageries. He has been consistently trying to give us a taste of unsophisticated and practical realm. Tigmanshu's first masala film 'Bullett Raja' have same flavor but the effort is mediocre here, mainly due to abrupt editing, loose screenplay and forced songs sequences. We again witness earthy, rugged and edgy portions which are far from urban and looked truly rural. "Bullett Raja" is about of two youngsters, Raja Mishra (Saif Ali Khan) and Rudra Tripathi (Jimmy Shergil) who engulfed themselves in the lands of dirty politics of Uttar Pradesh. They rise like heroes and on the flip side it deteriorates they tranquil lives. Story is merely a revenge drama, but, the writing doesn't hold as the movie progresses. The screenplay is abrupt and flat. The best bit are the action sequences, it separates from the contemporary movies where we can see everything flying with no role of gravity. The action scenes looked really authentic with bullet firing in every 5 minutes. The love track was rushed and abrupt. The other thing which works here are the edgy and fabulous dialogs as always. It has now become the trademark of Dhulia. The climax is predictable; you will probably understand every nuance which the writer tried to reveal at the very end. The film consists a good start cast (mostly Dhulia's favorite) and peculiar dialogs. Music by Sajid-Wajid is really forgettable as songs do not add anything. Saif Ali Khan does a wonderful act here, carrying the entire film. He character is very well written. Jimmy Sheirgill is always good and does a fabulous job here. Sonakshi Sinha is common in all the movies now a days and she does the same thing, once again. Bullett Raja delivers only in parts. The arena was right but it lacked the execution and writing for other actors was not coherent.

Before going for Bullet Raja you think of movies like Haasil and Paan Singh Tomar (Two of Dir Tingmanshu Dhulia's brilliant films), but just 5 minutes into the film I knew this is some kind of a joke. Basically there's no plot, just random twists and meaningless action. Some scenes are so random that it'll make you think that the last scene before this is from the same movie ? Saif-Ali Khan tries really hard to look rough and tough but fails miserably, Sonakshi Sinha's character lacks depth, Jimmy Shergil is wasted just like Vidut Jamwal is. Screenplay is more of a joke, there are some emotional scenes in which you'll burst out laughing. Songs are pathetic and appear in all the wrong situations. Dialogues are as old as hills. My opinion: Rather go out drinking than watching this trash!
