Reviews

akhil-10 For starters, this is a copy of the 1993 Harrison Ford/Tommy Lee Jones starer Fugitive.The plot is basically the same, the first half drags on with the love story which is made unnecessarily boring with a triangle sub-plot and some typical couple dance numbers.the movie gains pace in the second half, and the acting by Nagarjuna/Ramya is quite good. Background score is super and haunting and personally my favourite part of the movie. Overall, its a decent flick.. Fugitive thriller plot + bollywood mirch masala of love triangle and songs.

jahangirhussain74 Criminal is another disastrous movie from one of the greatest copycats of Bollywood- Mukesh Bhatt.But even replicating most of the scenes from the classic Hollywood flick, The Fugitive couldn't save this film.The plot is badly handled with lots of unnecessary song and dance. What was the most irritating part was that Criminal contains two heroines. In the original, the plot was based only on the hero and his run from the law till he proves himself innocent. The heroines do nothing substantial for the film. Manisha Koirala was only effective in her last two scenes. But the whole love angle between her and Nagarjuna where she tries to seduce the hero to make him fall in love with her was so irritating. Ramya Krishnan plays the role of a cop but be aware of the fact that she's just a sidekick to Nassar. The role of Tommy Lee Jones in the original is played by Nassar and he was good but again, it's a deja vu kind of thing if you already watched the Fugitive.The hero, Nagarjuna was terrible. He looked lost and uninterested in front of the camera. He lacks the charm of the charismatic Harrison Ford.The songs were very displeasing to the ears. 'Tum Mile Dil Khile' is likable in parts but the rest of the songs are horrible.On the whole, a horrible movie from the Bhatt camp. Avoid!

sharankandhai One of the best copies bolluwood has made even with nagarjuna in it and even if directed by Bhatt. This movie is ïnspired"by The Fugitive"(like most Bhatt movies this is a copy). Nagarjuna is Harrisson Ford who is framed for the murder of his wife (Manisha Koirala). because this movie has to be approx. 3 hrs, the love story of how Nags and Manisha met and fell in love is also woven in the film. But since it is Manisha Koirala and the flashback has the sexy Ramyah Kishnan also in it, it is good. By the way Ramyah is a cop on the trail of Harrissson, oops, nagarjuna who was once in love with him but sacrificed her love for her friend Manisha. I know it sounds crappy but the film isactually good. Gulshan Grover is also in it. If i am not mistaken than Ajit (Loin) is also in the movie in the Jeroen Krabbe role.

gonavaramps Criminal, another movie which was supposed to be inspired by Fugitive is in-fact a horrible re-make of Harrison Ford's terrific thriller Fugitive.In the process of making it look a bit different the director makes a nonsense film with 2 heroines and duets where as in the original there is no character as a heroine.And then the character of Tomy Lee Jones is so mellowed down that it looks nothing more than a traffic constable and this is done just to make the hero look like a superman capable of doing anything.A worst film in every aspect.
