Body and Dance can grab the eyeballs but that will not give you success in long run. Tiger Shroff has not evolved as an actor in all these days. He still think he can vow the audience with his action and dance without having a movie with good content,story and performances.

The film was wrong from the beginning with set up and story-line. Futuristic movie has thoughts in the past. How the presence of Amitabh Bachchan is wasted in the movie. Why producers didn't spend money on writing and if going with this writing than why not worked on good VFX, music,costumes,dialogues, etc.

Why to chose such films Kriti after Mimi and a national award?

Ganapath (2023) : Movie Review -

Ganapath Review: Vikas Bahl teams up with Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Amitabh Bachchan for the first action film of his career, "Ganapath". Maybe it's not just his genre. Not his game at all. The filmmaker has a solid history of Chillar Party, Queen, and Super 30, but then he has the likes of Shaandar and Goodbye too. Ganapath may comfortably sit in the latter's club. It's a futuristic world, alright, but since we don't know what's going to happen in the future, Bahl also didn't know anything. With no reference or knowledge about the future in his hands, Bahl dreams of an action adventure that falls short of almost every aspect of filmmaking. It's good to see Tiger trying something new and also to see national award-winner Kriti supporting him in the same, but as we know, a film is not an individual's efforts. Ganapath falls as a whole experience.

Set in a future timeline, Ganapath is about rich people taking over the poor people's world. Dalpati (Amitabh Bachchan) predicts that the poor will have their messiah, the fighter Ganapath. Years later, Guddu (Tiger Shroff) is working as an assistant for a fighting gambler. He has an affair with his boss' GF, so the boss cuts him out with death. However, Guddu is saved by one of the gang members, who realises that Guddu is the Messiah Ganapath, for whom they have been waiting for years. Guddu is sent to poor people's land, and he meets Shiva and Jassi (Kriti Sanon). With proper training, Guddu transforms into Ganapath, a mercenary who sets out on a mission to safeguard his people from a notorious syndicate headed by Dalini (the boss of the evil whose face is revealed at the end).

Written by Vikas Bahl, Ganapath's script lacks newness, novelty, prime factor, and sometimes even basic sense. They were set out to create a dystopian world but ended up making a regular humdrum MMA fighting game. Is that their idea of a futuristic world? There should have been something new, something unique, something unseen, and something unheard of. Alas, there is the same world again except for the animated city of rich people while the poor ones live in mountains-something similar to the Mad Max world, as Tiger says. Also, the tapori language was completely unnecessary. It's a mismatch, you see. The screenplay dabbles, and how! You can see it yourself since I am not giving away any spoilers.

On the positive side, Tiger Shroff was seen doing something different. But again, the writing spoiled many things for him and his character. Those flip-ups and stunts are not new to any Tiger Shroff fan. So basically, it's a world that's not new. Kriti, on the other hand, enters with a bang as her entry scene is kick A.. Desi Lara Croft, or whatever you call it, which later turns into a typical abla naari. Big B Amitabh Bachchan shines in a cameo role that sets the base for Ganapath's story. Elli AvrRam looks hot in a blink-and-miss cameo, and the same is the case with Shruthy Menon. Girish Kulkarni, Ziad Bakri, Jameel Khan, and Rahman add decent support with their overly made-up characters.

Ganapath has a mixed-music album. Jai Ganesha is a great number. It feels so freaking amazing on the big screen. It's stimulating and energetic. Sadly, other songs don't have the same magic (including raps), and they fall flat. The cinematography gives a few good frames of this VFX-driven world that's nothing noticeable. Ganapath's dialogue may hit the chords with a certain section of the audience. Words like Humne mast pela, Maine Khela, Meri hatati hai, Life me kuch karne ka, and all don't seem plausible to my idea of a new-age action film, but who knows? The town is full of masses speaking the same language every day. It's their own tongue, after all. There were certain expectations from Vikas Bahl, as he was making a dystopian and high-tech action entertainer, and that too a two-part series. Unfortunately, all those expectations are buried with Ganapath. It might have worked with a different approach, but somehow things just didn't add up well. Everything went wrong, from the script to the execution. An ambitious project with such a high budget deserved a better outcome, for sure.

RATING - 3/10*

DISASTER ULTRA PRO MAX & WHAT NOT , this film is more terrible than its trailer claimed it to be . From the start to its end all you see is unnecessary boxing going on and amidst it is a very small plot which makes no sense till its end presented with cartoonish and silly VFX which is another huge letdown . First half is just waste of time and 2nd half is double waste of time .The only watchable moments are a few select action scenes by Tiger rest everything is usual stuff that he does,also Kriti has aced her role well as a tough fighter girl but hardly had screen time. All and all no substance , no story , no emotion , no logic only fight & boxing makes its an unbearable watching experience. The Climax is so typical and you get to predict it as soon as the 2nd half starts but still you just need to sit through boxing sessions by Tiger. Editing is very poor , Songs don't connect to the audience . Finally All applause to the makers who even after making an epic disaster like this end the film with an announcement of Ganpath Part 2 .Not at all recommended in the cinemas .

Stupid movie. Fell asleep in it. No storyline, bad action, no logic. Skip it and don't waste your money. 0 stars. Graphics are bad too. I'm a tiger fan but this movie is a flop. Movie makes no sense. I'm embarrassed for the actors participating in this movie. It has nothing to offer. All this movie is just tiger kicking around and showing off his dance moves at random times. If you want to watch this movie then watch it at home. Don't waste your time at the movie theater. I am laughing at how bad this movie is. I am shocked they made such a bad movie. Only good thing about this movie is kriti sanon but even she couldn't save the movie.

Budget of this movie is 200 cr and the day 1 collection is 2.5 cr , day 2 is 2.25 cr ,day 3 is 2.5 cr so around 7 cr is 1st weekend collection and lifetime box office in India seems to wrap around around 17-18 cr. So oneof the biggest box office failure and bomb. I think this much budget is really used or just dikha Diya to convert over b***k money to wh**e and same things I doubt of adipurush movie. Audience did good justice to this movie. The makers were so confidence that they even announced ganapath 2 , I think desperate to change colour of movie and may thought thoda thik thak average bhi kama le toh ganapath 2 banakar nikal du woh bhi.

DISASTER ULTRA PRO MAX & WHAT NOT...!!

Terrible - From the start to its end.., all you see is unnecessary boxing going on and amidst it is a very small plot..

*Cartoonish and silly VFX* which is another huge letdown .

First half is just waste of time and 2nd half is double waste of time .

Tiger cannot act, *he just dances, dances, dances dances.... & he fights, fights, fights, fights, fights* in a repeat mode ...! Thts it...!!

*Kriti is just a showPiece..!!*

All and all no substance , no story , no emotion , no logic only fight & boxing makes its an unbearable watching experience.

Finally All applause to the makers who even after making an epic disaster like this,, they end the film with an announcement of *Ganpath Part 2* . 😁

*Not at all recommended* in the cinemas .

The movie "Ganapath" was a letdown in many ways. Tiger Shroff's role in the film was limited to showcasing his impressive physique and dance moves, while his acting skills were severely lacking. It was clear that he was more of a physical performer than an actor, which left the audience wanting more in terms of character development and emotional depth.

Furthermore, the production house's decision to invest a whopping 200 crore in this movie is questionable. It's hard to understand why they would take such a huge risk on Tiger Shroff, who hasn't yet proven himself as a versatile actor despite his physical abilities. Unfortunately, the extravagant budget didn't translate into a quality cinematic experience, making it a regrettable decision that didn't meet the expectations of a Bollywood production with such a substantial investment.

Bad Acting Worse Story Worst VFX Please don't Watch As a fan of Tiger I went and I thought the director is vikas bahl who has a good movies in his bucket but Disappointed 😞

When I first heard about the film starring Tiger Shroff and directed by Vikas Bahl, I had high hopes. After all, both Shroff and Bahl have proven themselves in the industry with their previous work. However, "Bad Acting," "Worse Story," and "Worst VFX" are the words that come to mind after watching this film.

First and foremost, the acting in the movie leaves much to be desired. Tiger Shroff, known for his incredible physical abilities and charisma, seemed like a mismatch for the poorly written character he portrayed. The lack of depth in his role made it challenging for him to showcase his talent. It's a shame to see such potential wasted on a weak character.

The story, or lack thereof, is another glaring issue. The plot feels like a mishmash of clichés from countless other action films. There's a predictable love story, a revenge subplot, and some generic villains. It's a shame that a talented director like Vikas Bahl couldn't breathe life into this tired narrative. The lack of creativity in storytelling is evident, and it's a disservice to the audience.

As for the visual effects (VFX), it's astounding how poorly executed they are. In today's cinema, audiences have come to expect a certain level of realism in VFX. Unfortunately, this film falls short in that department. The action sequences, which should have been the film's strong suit, suffer from unconvincing and low-quality effects. It's clear that not enough attention or budget was allocated to this critical aspect of the film.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this film to anyone, even die-hard Tiger Shroff fans. It's a letdown on multiple fronts - from the lackluster acting to the uninspired storytelling and the abysmal VFX. It's a classic case of a potentially great movie gone terribly wrong. As a fan of both Tiger Shroff and Vikas Bahl, it's disheartening to see them associated with such a lackluster project. Save your time and money and skip this one. There are far better films out there worth your attention.

"Ganapath: A Hero is Born" ventures into a dystopian future, promising an action-packed narrative and a dual role for Tiger Shroff, alongside the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and the talented Kriti Sanon. Directed and written by Vikas Bahl, who also produced the film, this ambitious project falls short of its potential, leaving audiences with a painful narrative.

The film's premise, set in the year 2070, introduces Guddu, who transforms into Ganapath, a savior on a mission to protect his people from a notorious syndicate led by Dalini. While the concept holds promise, the execution leaves much to be desired.

It's surprising to see Vikas Bahl, known for delivering acclaimed films like "Queen," associated with a film that misses the mark. The narrative fails to engage viewers, and the film as a whole disappoints, especially considering the high expectations that come with such a cast and budget.

While Tiger Shroff's action sequences are undoubtedly impressive, they can't salvage a story that lacks depth and coherence. The film's attempt to set the stage for a sequel, even in the face of its shortcomings, adds to the frustration.

The music, featuring songs by Vishal Mishra, Amit Trivedi, White Noise Studios, and Dr. Zeus, along with the score by Salim-Sulaiman, attempts to inject life into the film but falls short of making a significant impact.

In conclusion, "Ganapath" is a missed opportunity, failing to live up to the expectations set by its impressive cast and intriguing premise. The painful narrative and unexpected shortcomings make it a disappointing addition to the world of dystopian thrillers. While some may still hold out hope for a potential Part 2, the film leaves much to be desired and falls short of what could have been a thrilling cinematic experience.

I find it hard to believe that someone came up with the idea for this movie, pitched it to a producer, got the funding to make the movie and released it in theaters as if it wasn't the most embarrassing thing one would have their name attached to. It's more plausible that this movie was simply a front for some good ol' fashioned money laundering. 200 crore budget? I wonder where it went.

And forget those involved, because I myself was embarrassed for just watching the movie. It's inexcusably soulless, and you can tell that even the people who worked on this movie couldn't care enough to give a hoot about it. Seriously, this is the only movie I've ever seen in my entire life where a greenscreen shot was accidentally left in unedited. And I don't blame the VFX team for not caring (which throughout the movie you can tell they clearly didn't), cos let's be honest... With a project as horrible as this, who could?

Tiger Shroff needs to understand that he is not a super star, and he needs to stop acting like one in films, its high time he should learn proper acting atleast be natural, what is this always bluff nature he is potraying in every film, in every film he tries to act as super hero of kids, please be natural, act like you were when you came in big boss for promotions. Kriti has worked hard, but i slept after 30 mins of the film, kuch to achha realistic story rakho, har 2 min me dance karne lagta h tiger, please make a dance reality show and not a film to show only dance skills. Tiger Shroff has became irritating now onscreen with same acting.

My sincere request to IMDB to allow users to give 0 rating to movies.

Another Tiger crap-fest. I really do not know who has so much money to burn that they repeatedly decide to make exactly utter nonsense movies with Tiger in the lead. I mean if you thought Baaghi 3 was bad, think again. This is infinitely worse. Amitabh Bachchan with another legendary performance after Thugs of Hindostan with his hamming sounds. VFX and CGI felt like it was done on MS Powerpoint. Honestly how did they spend their budget. :D

Talking of the action sequences, they have been stolen scene-by-scene from another movie Undisputed. Most of the crew costume designs have been stolen from either Mad Max movies or A. X. L. Movie.

Talking of the story and plot, I have one simple question for the story/screenplay writer. The poor people in the movies did not have any food or water for days/weeks. Then logically one would expect them to have low energy. Then how exactly were they doing all their stunt moves in the arena they built for themselves. :D

The director decided it is dystopian world + Tiger Shroff doing his flying nonsense so I can do anything in this movie. No one will notice.

When I was in NIT, we had formed a group with IITians to rate highly on IMDB movies done by Mithun da, Jackie dada (and some by Dharmendra) in the latter half of their careers. Legendary nonsense movies like Gunda, Chandaal, Shapath, Cheetah, Jallaad, Loha, Yamraaj ... which were so bad that they were good (read: comical). But they were fun to watch with multiple wise-cracking villians making fun of each other and/or the protagonist, missing story line or massive plot holes, nonsense dialogues, overdone action sequences, bad acting in general.

Also it is understandable that when actors get old, they sometimes need to drop their pickiness of roles they get since there might not be too many. But in case of Tiger Shroff, he just started his career and it is a shame that even his early movies are such trash. And it is not even funny after a point. Tiger Shroff has graduated really fast to touch his dad's level of movies. *clap*

Do yourself a favor and skip this movie. If you are in mood for a good laugh, do check out some of the movies listed above. Definitely check out Tehelka by Dharmendra (it even has a song "Main hoon garam dharam, hai kaisi sharam ..." sung by Anu Malik :'D)

°Story: -2 °Characters: good °VFX: -3 °Entertainment: -2 °Ending: -1.

Explanation: °The story is not perfect. And the way that the story goes ahead is also not good.

°The characters in this film are good as an Indian film. There are the good know actors but the acting was not very good.

°Sir, this is an advance civilization, try to make the VFX more realistic. Even the Avenger VFX which was made in the past is good. Then, what the problem in this film?

°The entertainment should thrilling as like the boxing ring audience but I ain't fell anything.

°Ths ending was also not very good. It's all about the story written. Well, this film could get more excitement if there weren't any other BETTER movies.

Advisement: Try to write a good story line. Check it to others as if it's good or not, try to improve and get advise from the professionals, audience and others. Try to do hard work. Make more realistic VFX. The cartoon VFX are better than this.

It's a great movie, but there are a few aspects that prevented me from rating it 10/10:

1. VFX Quality: The movie is a sci-fi genre, and high-quality VFX is crucial. I believe there is room for improvement in the VFX department.

2. Dance Scenes: While there are numerous dance scenes, they were well-executed, and it's what we expect from someone like TIGER. However, some viewers may find them excessive.

On the positive side:

1. Compelling Story: The movie boasts an excellent and unique storyline that drew me to the theater.

2. Exciting Action Sequences: The action scenes were fantastic and added to the overall excitement.

In summary, the movie is excellent, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the second part.

Calling all Tiger Shroff fans! Get ready for an action-packed ride with Ganapath. Shroff is in incredible shape, showcasing his signature high kicks and gravity-defying stunts with impressive skill. The movie takes place in a cool dystopian future, where the rich live in luxury in Silver City, while everyone else struggles outside its walls.

But Ganapath isn't all flash. The story, about a vigilante named Ganapath who fights against a powerful criminal empire, feels predictable and a bit thin. The movie tries to make a statement about the gap between the rich and the poor, but this gets lost in all the action. Kriti Sanon, unfortunately, doesn't get much to do. Her character is more like eye candy than a real person with a backstory.

The biggest problem might be the confusing tone. Ganapath tries to be both a serious sci-fi action film and a light-hearted masala entertainer, but these two styles don't always go well together.

So, is Ganapath worth watching? If you're looking for a fun, action-packed movie with some mind-blowing stunts by Tiger Shroff, then this is a good choice. But if you're hoping for a deep story or interesting characters, you might be let down. Ganapath is a mixed bag, best enjoyed with lowered expectations.
