The Big Bull Review: What We Think?
The film ‘The Big Bull’ is not a spice film. It is a straight-line film, which has been adopted by its director Kookie Gulatiin today’s time to tell the story through a journalist. For Kuki, this is the turning point of his career and he made a film with a lot of effort. The film could have been much better if a little more work was done in the screenplay. Also, the casting of the film was also done with a little patience.
The Big Bull Review: The Direction
The story of Hemant Shah is such that even if you do not understand Dalal Street, it will keep you interested. This is the story of a middle-class man with lofty dreams, insistence on fulfilling those dreams in any case. Director Kookie Gulati has tried to cover a long and wide story in two and a half hours. Sadly, this effort is visible. While we are connecting with Hemant’s early life, he starts playing in lakhs of crores as soon as he plays a pinch. Many characters played by powerful actors do not even know when they come and go in the film. No character has been able to leave a mark on the mind. Many important scenes pass lightly, while amidst the economic-political scandal, the romantic song sounds absolutely tasteless. Even if its comparison to Hansal Mehta’s ‘Scam 1992’, the film looks crude in many respects. Whether it is screenplay or acting.
The Big Bull Review: Star Performance
You have to praise Abhishek Bachchan’s acting when you know that his character could have been given more depth. Abhishek Bachchan has done full justice to his character and his hard work is also visible. However, some scenes have been shot very loud which look dramatic. Abhishek-Nikita’s love story is also seen in the film’s story taking many breaks. Ileana D’Cruz plays Jamia in the role of journalist Meera Rao, but her character also needed to be given depth. The film also stars Saurabh Shukla and Ram Kapoor, but due to less screen space, his characters seem to have gone away. Overall this is a dramatic film in which you are told that even a common man can become a scamster.
The Big Bull Review: The Final Word
Everyone knows the story of the scandal of Harshad Mehta, but still can watch this film for the performance of Abhishek Bachchan. You will understand the story of Harshad Mehta in a straightforward manner, or if you are a fan of Abhishek Bachchan, ‘The Big Bull’ can be seen once. The film arouses interest in the parts, bored into the parts. 3 stars to ‘The Big Bull’ from Filmyhype. [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”]
