Bollywood Hungama

Speaking of the performances, John Abraham appears a bit stiff in the initial scenes. However, he gets better as the film progresses. In the second half, he plays his part with ease. Arjun Kapoor looks dashing and the director has presented him in a mass-pleasing way. His performance is also quite good. Disha Patani looks wonderful and performance wise, she has gotten quite better. Tara Sutaria is much better than her act in her last film, HEROPANTI 2 [2022]. She leaves a mark majorly in the first half and the scene outside the hospital in the second half. J D Chakravarthy is a bit over the top. Shaad Randhawa (Inspector Rathore) doesn't get much scope to perform. Bharat Dabholkar (Gautam’s father), Elena Roxana Maria Fernandes, Shivani Tuli (Aarvi's friend Rubina), Karishma Sharma (Gautam's ex-girlfriend, Siya), Prasad Jawade (Ashu) and Digvijay Rohidas (Bhairav's friend Keshav) are fine.
