Thugs of Hindostan

Like previous works, which include Tashan and Dhoom 3, Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan is big but hollow.

Vijay Krishna Acharya's expensive and exuberant Bollywood masala delivers the goods as a satisfying popcorn epic.

This is a film with money to burn, and it unabashedly torches each rupee before your eyes.

Vijay Krishna Acharya's Thugs of Hindostan is one of Bollywood's most unambitious and derivative films; it redefines the idea of an epic disaster.

This is a film you're allowed to get legit excited about. It's for the first time we see the Aamir-Amitabh combo. It is a good Diwali treat with a lot of fireworks and stunning visuals.

Less than an hour into this film, it got so boring and predictable that I began to make up vivid backstories in my head.

There are three words in the title of Vijay Krishna Acharya's new film, and at least two of them are wrong.

Everything ceases to matter.

Amitabh Bachchan lumbers through the movie and looks exhausted from the burden of carrying so much armour and baritone-induced gravitas.

Thugs of Hindostan is a sinking ship, and not even Aamir Khan and his Midas touch can salvage it.
