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.

Big B proves once more that he is a God of all Actors! At his age he's still the best in the business. Perhaps the best there ever will be. Who else could act, dance, do action sequences and even sing all remarkably well at the age of almost 70?On several occasions this movie pays tribute to his illustrious career and his immense contribution to Cinema most of which is humorous and enjoyable! However as for the Movie itself it could have been better .. especially the final third which was contrived and this should have been avoided. But its a must watch for all Big B fans nonetheless!The supporting cast all do justice to their roles and overall its an entertaining movie that pays tribute to this charismatic legend in its own chic and witty way!

You can expect trash films from lowlifes, the likes of, Aaamir Khan (Delhi Belly & Three Idiots) Farah Khan (Tees Mar Khan) Salman Khan (Dabaang,) since they lack any class, style or stature in Mumbai. They live in filth so the films they produce are filth. The Mumbai Media who are mostly chamachas with no integrity worship these scums. These no talent scums, are there to hoard the money as fast they can from the unsuspecting youth who lack the taste to tell filth from non filth since they are brain washed by these maggots. But to expect this from someone in the caliber of Bachchan is a disgrace. It was painful, pitiful and pathetic to watch this movie. What was this man thinking when he opted to produce and star in this movie? The story is contrived, the screenplay non existent, the characters are loosely sketched and the acting atrocious. It's fine if he wants to produce and star in a junk movie. but it is insulting to have actors the caliber of Hema Malini ("Baghban") to be part of this movie. Is this man losing his marbles? as he getting to be a BBuddha in reel and real life?

A nonsensical piece of crap not worth your time. Devoid of any script, acting and anything bordering logic. Not much more to say, avoid unless you need an excuse to see Amitabh Bachchan on screen. But even then you need to be a really hardcore fan to sit through this mindless dribble.The story fluctuates without any sense of direction, Amitabh Bachchan is a mere shadow of his former self, the direction is incredibly lousy, feels like the director left the camera on and just left. I am amazed at all the good reviews coming out of India, in particular a reviewer called Taran Adarsh who seems to lack the balls to be objective now days. The pressure on critics to give a positive review must be incredible for movies from these older actors who have a lot of pull in town. I really hope Mr Bachchan gets better scripts in the future as he still has some good years left. Unfortunately, with Bollywood's one track obsession with "love stories" there is not much scope for mature actors to showcase their talents.
