A story that has already been put together in three different ways by three different industries before; it was indeed a hefty challenge this time for the creators of Bollywood to add their own touch, their own mannerisms into it. Despite obvious adjustments and some fundamental amendments done to the script, the outcome still hasn't turned out in a way you might expect.
Now, let me ask you a simple question. What do "Mass" entertainers need the most? Tons of action? Some great dialogues perhaps? Or a strong base of emotions? I'm sure in your answer, you would be picking at least one of these characteristics. If that's the case, stay away. Why? Well, to put it bluntly, Bachchhan Pandey has got none of it. Barring the ever charismatic Akshay Kumar and a stupendously humoristic Pankaj Tripathi; there's hardly anything worthy of a mention over here.
