    A lukewarm Dhamaka!

    This one starts ticking very efficiently and keeps audience engaged every minute. Kartik Aaryan has delivered a genuinely good performance with Amruta Subhash, Mrunal Thakur and Vikas Kumar in a perfect supportive roles.

    Visuals and screenplay are treat to watch to get engrossed every passing moment.

    What's not so good- Problem starts in second half when expectations raised in first half starts falling while revealing suspense feels no exciting and things become too predictable.

    Overall a good watch over weekend with crisp and shorter run time!

    All reviews with 10 are SPAM/FAKE

    This movie is a disaster,I don't normally write reviews When I saw kartik Aryan in the trailer I was expecting a lot better than this,I expected this movie to be a turning point in his career, but this movie turned out to be exactly opposite to my expectations Kartik Aryan has disappointed with his over-acting in the movie The climax and the end scene are equally bad.

    Conclusion - Save your time watch something else.

    Bad, very bad, Dhamaka...

    I am shocked to see the current rating of this movie @8.4 as on 20/11/2021. I thought of writing a review with plot holes. Then I realized that there are so many plot holes that it's not possible to write those down in a single review. Worst of all is the ending which doesn't make any kind of sense. Just to portrait media as an evil entity, they did whatever they could.

    Garbage, full of Plot holes

    What nonsense have they made? Netflix really needs to up it's Bollywood or Hindi content because there is absolute garbage content. This was one of them, how does this have a 8 rating on IMDB is the same question I ask as to who at Netflix gave this movie a green light. Seriously, don't they know about.. script reading, period reading before making such nonsense, gosh they even have a live romantic moment in the wake of a supposed dull , crappy terrorism plot.

    Horrible movie,

    Started well..But lost the plot!

    Started really well. The performances were very good. But the plot was lost in last 45 mins.

    Could have been so much better but struggles at the end.. bk character development.. Insipid end .. Ithe movie suffers from plot development!

    Special kids to Amruta Subhash for a terrific performance.
