Akshay Kumar (akshay-ak-kumar) Some films don't work in spite of a good director and good star cast. Bullet Raja is a perfect case of the above. Dhulia has directed some fine movies like Haasil, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster and Paan Singh Tomar but here he gets it all wrong. Dhulia as a writer fails here miserably. The story has nothing new to offer. Its starts with an unemployed youth who is forced to enter the world of crime and politics and ends up as a revenge drama. The story set in the UP heartland could've been easily set in Mumbai or Delhi. Dhulia tries to desperately play the cast card with the protangonist being a Brahmin by caste and showcasing the state of Brahmins in UP but that also doesn't work after one point. Worse, he bumps off one of the main characters in the film in the middle to make it into a revenge drama. And from here the story comes crashing down.Wht Dhulia fails to see that the Saif's character Raja and Shergill's Character have gr8 chemistry and this could have gr8 film if he would have focused on both the male leads.Saif is a fine actor and he's the only reason I watched this film till the end. He gets into the character and spots some gr8 lines in the 1st half. Check out the scene in the plane while take off. Some other actor and I would have changed the channel. However, he needs good scripts. Dhulia's regular Shergill is wasted. He shares some gr8 chemistry with Saif. So is Jamwal, Grover and Ravi Kishen. And I've no words to describe Sonakshi's character. She plays an aspiring actress who starts to live the two gangsters. Overall a very disappointing affair !!

sharad vaidya finally after a while came across a story and movie worth watching... it captures you from very start.. there is one thing.. when story and direction is good.. acting shines too on its own... Saif and Sonakshi are good of course... Jimmi too suits in serious roles a lot may b coz he got lesser expressions than others but that is a benefit in particular roles.. entry of Sonakshi was scripted in unique manner.. well they could have shown politics little more dirty and some more twists.. but still was very good movie.. **** would have given 5th is there was a song I liked a lot.. but ain't there so.. and this is 10th line which was necessary for 10 line review else I couldn't submit a review... lol ..

snaidu422 In the late 60's Italian Director Sergio Leone made movies featuring Clint Eastwood which were referred to as Spaghetti Westerns, since they were kind of cowboy flicks made in Italy. Now years later, We have Tigmanshu Dhulia hitting base with a movie titled BULLET RAJA which can vye for the same honor-references are made in the film to Sholay-which also successfully tried the same genre.The opening shootout sequence is worth watching, reminding you of the Paul Newman starrer "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Saif Ali Khan and Jimmy Shergill involved in a back to back gunfight (literally), you have Saif shooting and Jimmy taking time to reload-which gives the audience a taste of what is to come.What can you say about a movie which has two major action sequences in the first half an hour of the movie, if you are an action lover-this movie is for you.Saif and Jimmy become best of pals when the former saves the latter's family from a slaughter led by Chunkey Pandey. Situations force Saif and Jimmy to become political commandos executing opposite party members in style. They are hire for guns to Raj Babar a political leader. A sudden event resulting in a kidnapping makes things sour between the heroes and their master. An event towards the break, makes Saif a kind of a fugitive.The shootouts are executed in style and yes there is tongue in cheek humor before Saif fires a fatal shot. Saif is brilliant in the title role, but it is Jimmy Shergill who steals the show with his brilliant performance. Sonakshi Sinha is wasted as Saif's live-in girl friend, trust me, even if the character was not included, it would not have made much difference to the movie's plot.Mahi Gill manages to raise the heat with her sizzling item song in the opening sequence.Watch the movie if you are an action buff and are kind of tired of all those mushy Bollywood romances

Ishan Arora I would like to keep it short... Remove all the songs.Of course, not the one starring Mahi Gill. The movie could have been shorter. Seriously after interval I had no motivation to see the other half. It was quite predictable Raja Mishra would have his revenge in the second half and the movie shall end .But I did not quit and finally I was presented with a nice ending. A good thought has been given into the movie and has been seasoned with quite a masala. I would say on a Saturday when you are exhausted after working for last 5 days just go and watch the movie. The star cast has been chosen nicely and I totally appreciate the acting of Saif,Jimmy,Raj Babbar,Gulshan Grover....
