Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap (2011)

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I am a big fan of Big B since 70s and 80s but still I don't like a lot of his films. Buddha Hoga Tera Baap was like a homage to Amitabh who tries to show how sexy he looks, how active he is at 70.Well we already know that Do we need an excuse of a film to showreel Amitabh? The first half is more on Amitabh showreel, his entry scene fails to leave a mark, but yet some scenes are okay, the romantic scenes between Sonu Sood are not too great but the interval does surprise you There are some well handled scenes like Sonu Sood getting shot and then Amitabh seeking revenge, we also have some south style scenes and a scene lifted from Puri Jaganand's Pokiri(2006), even a song from Naseeb plays in one scene between AB and HemaDirection by Puri is okay not too great Music is okay, the title song sung by Big B is okay, Go meera Go is a medley of Amitabh hit songs from 70s with rap by Small B.Amitabh Bachchan walks, talks in swagger, he is superb but he looks too old(of course at 70) he is superb in dramatic/emotional scenes Hema Malini is good in a small role, Sonu Sood resembles old Amitabh and does superb in his role, Charmy Kaur is good, Sonal Sehgal fails to impress, Prakash Raj is as usual rest are all okay.

especially this one--- – See all my reviews Hindi cinema has a big influence over millions of people and I admire all the filmmakers who make films like Buddha Hoga Tera Baap. Its an amazing story of a gangster who was a robin hood in his early days and still has potential carry the legacy of Robin Hood. Amitabh Bacchan Rocked it. I cant even imagine any other actor in this world I mean literally in this world including Hollywood and any other cinema who would look as good as Amitabh Bacchan in this role.I don't have to say any thing about his performance, He is one of the finest Actor of the century.This Movie moved me. I had never written any review but I couldn't wait to write my feelings about this movie. It's a must see movie for any body who is a lover of Hindi Cinema and those who want to understand Hindi Cinema.

IMDb is a great site. I have got lot of information from this site. I wish to contribute little to it by this review.I recently saw BHTB and i found it totally awful. Thought Amitabh Ji is a legend, this movie sucks big time. I could not watch more than 30 mins of it... i stayed long enough expecting some good plot or scene would come by. Alas it never came! Amitabh Ji is a hero and not an actor here. It has many unrealistic scenes and vulgar jokes that can spoil an Indian's mood. Flashy dresses, overacting and bad editing can bring this movie down.The story line feels like it is been written by a kid. The target audience must have been the illiterate working class.It is the director who has failed miserably here.

"Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap" is -- first, last, and altogether -- an Amitabh Bachchan vehicle. And how!The Man may be, bless him, all of 68 years old (69 in October, apparently) but he hasn't lost a step. Charming, witty, even sexy, he's still an effective action hero in a role that, honestly, I don't think ANYONE else could have pulled off.For a film sporting the tagline 'Big B Is Back' ... (where had he gone? an actor who shoots as many films as HE does every year?) ... this completely character-driven action comedy about a supposedly retired hit-man showcases all the full range of qualities Amitabh Bachchan can bring to the screen. Drama. Romance. Action. Comedy. What doesn't The Man do? Here he even sings -- in his uniquely growly, gnarly voice -- every song in the film.Absolutely delicious!The character, if not the story or scenario, is fresh and original.Most of the supporting cast take a back seat, here. Sonu Sood, for instance, merely had to look butch and hit the gym, for his undemanding role here as an honest policeman. But who really cares?And, to give credit where credit is definitely due, two Actors-Not-Called-Bachchan also brought particularly good work.Prakash Raj -- the South Indian veteran lead actor from such disparate films as charming Telugu comedy, 2009's "Aakasamantha" and classic Tamil political drama, 1997's "Iruvar" -- matches Mr Bachchan shot for shot, as the evil mafialord Kabir. Their final confrontation delights.Special credit, though, to a lesser known actor who proves anew that old saw about 'no small parts, only small actors'. Makrand Deshpande, whom I last saw beating up Mr Bachchan's real-life daughter-in-law (Aishwarya Rai) in last year's brilliant "Guzaarish", here converts a small but much more sympathetic part as a would-be bad guy into someone the audience unexpectedly enjoys and connects with.Bottom Line, though: Amitabh Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan.Savour while ye can!
