After a very long time, we see a big Bollywood theatrical release, the movie Bell Bottom. As we know this is a highjack film with the larger than life hero who comes to rescue everyone from it all. The Akshay Kumar starrer Bell Bottom also has Vaani Kapoor Adil Hussain, Huma Qureshi and Lara Dutta as the famously unrecognisable Indira Gandhi. Check out the Bell Bottom reviews and all the buzz and decide whether it’s worth venturing into the cinema halls to watch it. After all, COVID is still around:
Most films have been released on streaming platforms recently. Even the big-budget, big banner movies like Radhe had a less than tumultuous release. Here Akshay Kumar tweets out ‘another friendly reminder’ that sounds more like a warning.
People are back to booking tickets with their mobile apps. According to reports, more people are booking of tickets for the 3D version of Bell Bottom than the 2 D version.
Many celebs wished the Bell Bottom team all the best. Industry insiders and distributors are hoping that this will encourage more filmmakers to release films in theatres going ahead.
…If folks can do this for Rajini, why can’t we do this for our hero Akshay – what’s a little wasted milk after all!
This is a positive review of the film that describes the film as thrilling, with a great sense of urgency. This is one of Kumar’s more ‘restrained’ performances: lots of swag but not too over the top.
While reviewers said that the first half was a bit confusing in terms of the many flashbacks, the second half has been lauded as absorbing with great performances.
The strong saviour played by Akshay Kumar, who saves his compatriots singlehandedly is now a genre. It may make more sense than the Salman genre, but let’s face it, it is a genre in itself and all the films follow a specific template. The hero is all-conquering, others are mere side characters and the women are mostly irrelevant.
While some reviewers liked Lara Dutta as Indira Gandhi, most thought that the prosthetics were rather too much.
Fans of the star are delighted that this film is in theatres and they have loved it.
There are many positive reviews that the film receives from reviewers and viewers.
Some viewers weren't too impressed with the film and had this to say about it.
The reviews of Bell Bottom seem to be largely positive from those who Akshay Kumar fans and who enjoy watching movies about larger than life characters on the big screen. Those that expect nuance and realism may be disappointed.
