Critic Review
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz (2017) Babu Bihari (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who plays bounty hunter of a small town, falls in love with Phulwa (Bidita Bag). The two of them meet when Babu fulfills a bounty ordered by Phulwa. Things change when Banke Bihari (Jatin Goswami) enters the scene touting Babu as his guru. They both fall for a challenge of who will kill first & more. Rest of the entire movie revolves around the dare & how it gets mixed with politics. How Banke & Babu Bihari execute a roller coaster journey of their bounty hunting life. Babu’s heroism and Phulwa’s skin show are the two weak pillars on which the film stands. And neither of them is enough to keep you intrigued till the end..

On the whole, BABUMOSHAI BANDOOKBAAZ is a poor show owing to its incoherent script. At the box office, the film will have to depend on word of mouth togrow..

Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is a violent drama filled with terrific dialogues, engaging sequences and fab performances, led by the always brilliant Nawazuddin Siddiqui. If you have taste for gritty gangster drama, with a sprinkling of dark humour, then this Ba.

Nawazuddin’s self-deprecating remarks and his seamless transformation from killer to lover is applause-worthy. Jatin Goswami’s impresses; his lean frame and interesting voice lend to his screen appeal. Bidita is an interesting find for Bollywood. Not .

But these moments can’t take away your attention from the shallowness of the entire facade. It’s a film pretending to be a stylishly raw gangster saga originated in the interiors of the Hindi heartland, but in reality, it’s nothing more than another.

The only surprise - nay, shock - that Babumoshai Bandookbaaz delivers is an instrumental rendition of a Rabindranath Tagore hymn (Aguner Parashmoni) arranged by composer Debojyoti Mishra for the end credits. Has the bard ever had such an ignominy heaped u.

Instead, he haemorrhages the audience's intelligence, and succeeds in killing the film. The film won't be remembered for Nandy's direction or Ghalib's plot. Babumoshai Bandookbaaz will be remembered as Nawazuddin's worst film yet..

Nawaz is fully immersed in his role; as is Goswami. The banter between Babu and Banke makes you smile. And then you are back to the film playing out the beats of the genre. Shoot-outs in the fields, killings with rifles, sexually pumped men and women, loc.

Years from now, unfortunately, this film will only be searched on YouTube as ‘Babumoshai Bandookbaaz hot scene’. Even if you’re free on this weekend, sleep at home rather than sleeping in cinema halls..
