In all honesty, to have any expectations of film craft and writing from a film that refuses to acknowledge that’s it’s a film is unfair. After all this is a Sajid Khan “entertainer”. But sadly, this entertainer doesn’t entertain as much as it sh.

On the whole, Himmatwala is one film which disappoints compltely. Peppy music, decent action and some hilarious comedy scenes will be loved by the masses. On the flip side, over the top situations and poor direction go completely against the film.. All sa.
