Bachchhan Paandey Review: Demo On How Not To Make A Film Rides On Akshay Kumar's Over-The-Top Presence

Bachchhan Paandey Review: In this bewildering melee of a film, an array of fine actors is given the short shrift - Sanjay Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi, Mohan Agashe and Seema Biswas.

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Kriti Sanon, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Pankaj  Tripathi

Director: Farhad Samji

Rating: One and a half stars (Out of 5)

Fundamental cinematic principles receive a merciless mauling in Bachchhan Paandey. It is a scattershot action comedy that revolves around a psychopathic gangster in the badlands of north India - Bollywood's obsession with India's largest state and its storied state of lawlessness is nowhere near petering out - and a budding filmmaker who decides to attempt a biopic on the dreaded killer at great risk to her life and limb.
