Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

For starters, this is a copy of the 1993 Harrison Ford/Tommy Lee Jones starer Fugitive.The plot is basically the same, the first half drags on with the love story which is made unnecessarily boring with a triangle sub-plot and some typical couple dance numbers.the movie gains pace in the second half, and the acting by Nagarjuna/Ramya is quite good. Background score is super and haunting and personally my favourite part of the movie. Overall, its a decent flick.. Fugitive thriller plot + bollywood mirch masala of love triangle and songs.

Criminal is another disastrous movie from one of the greatest copycats of Bollywood- Mukesh Bhatt.But even replicating most of the scenes from the classic Hollywood flick, The Fugitive couldn't save this film.The plot is badly handled with lots of unnecessary song and dance. What was the most irritating part was that Criminal contains two heroines. In the original, the plot was based only on the hero and his run from the law till he proves himself innocent. The heroines do nothing substantial for the film. Manisha Koirala was only effective in her last two scenes. But the whole love angle between her and Nagarjuna where she tries to seduce the hero to make him fall in love with her was so irritating. Ramya Krishnan plays the role of a cop but be aware of the fact that she's just a sidekick to Nassar. The role of Tommy Lee Jones in the original is played by Nassar and he was good but again, it's a deja vu kind of thing if you already watched the Fugitive.The hero, Nagarjuna was terrible. He looked lost and uninterested in front of the camera. He lacks the charm of the charismatic Harrison Ford.The songs were very displeasing to the ears. 'Tum Mile Dil Khile' is likable in parts but the rest of the songs are horrible.On the whole, a horrible movie from the Bhatt camp. Avoid!

With Nagarjuna and Koirala in the lead, I was expecting a decent movie. This, unfortunately, was quite bad. Not surprisingly, it sank without a trace at the box office in 1995, despite the star-studded cast.It's supposed to be a remake of the Fugitive, but did Bhatt even watch the original before supposedly "re-making" it? As with his other films, Bhatt takes a reasonably good story and uses his "magic" to destroy it.The songs are interspersed at random places in the movie, and, as is usual with Bhatt films, there is always the unnecessary sexuality. Nagarjuna's acting skills are not quite up to the par, and he looks rather tired and old, even beyond whatever is required by his role.The soundtrack still sounds pretty good, however, but is not quite good enough to redeem the movie.

One of the best copies bolluwood has made even with nagarjuna in it and even if directed by Bhatt. This movie is ïnspired"by The Fugitive"(like most Bhatt movies this is a copy). Nagarjuna is Harrisson Ford who is framed for the murder of his wife (Manisha Koirala). because this movie has to be approx. 3 hrs, the love story of how Nags and Manisha met and fell in love is also woven in the film. But since it is Manisha Koirala and the flashback has the sexy Ramyah Kishnan also in it, it is good. By the way Ramyah is a cop on the trail of Harrissson, oops, nagarjuna who was once in love with him but sacrificed her love for her friend Manisha. I know it sounds crappy but the film isactually good. Gulshan Grover is also in it. If i am not mistaken than Ajit (Loin) is also in the movie in the Jeroen Krabbe role.
