Manoj Bajpayee’s Latest Movie Receives Mixed Response


Manoj Bajpayee’s latest action thriller, Bhaiyya Ji, has premiered to mixed reviews. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, the film features Bajpayee as a mass action hero in a brand new avatar. Reactions have been divided since its release on May 24, 2024.

“Desi mass film”: Netizens on Manoj Bajpayee’s Bhaiyya Ji 

The social media buzz surrounding Bhaiyya Ji has been intense, with many netizens sharing their film reviews. One user described it as a “Desi mass film with Anurag Kashyap style,” praising the acting but criticizing the film for being melodramatic and repetitive. “The cast is phenomenal which carries the strong plot. Does get too melodramatic, repetitive & feels stretched out. @BajpayeeManoj is a Legend! Just watch for the talent involved.”

Another netizen found Bajpayee’s performance refreshing, highlighting the standout performances by the cast. “Just seeing #ManojBajpayee @BajpayeeManoj in this #BhaiyyaJi, this larger-than-life avatar is so refreshing. #ZoyaHussain is the pleasant surprise, while #SuvinderVicky is terrific.”

However, not all reviews were positive. Some viewers felt the film fell short of expectations. One user exclaimed, “BAJPAYEE BECOMES BHOJPURI BALAYYA! I wanted to love this film but barring the screen presence of #ManojBajpayee: it’s routine screenplay & patchy editing are huge demerits. Why should the ‘stars’ have all the fun tho: Bajpayee as the MASS hero fits perfectly!”

In stark contrast, another review criticized Manoj Bajpayee’s film’s script and action sequences. “#BhaiyyaJi is a colossal disappointment. A failed attempt at Masala genre that instigates nothing but yawns inside the theatre. The film could never rise above the mark of B-grade cinema with a cringe-worthy script and wannabe action sequences.”

Despite the mixed reactions, there were fans who still appreciated the film for its masala entertainment value. “Masala, Action And, Dialogue-Baazi….#BhaiyyaJi Is Single Screen SeetiMaar Film. For fans, ‘Bhaiyya Ji’ is like a tribute film, which presents the #DesiSuperstar in the South template.”

Bhaiyya Ji has sparked varied reactions, but Manoj Bajpayee’s performance has stood out as a highlight for many. The film is currently playing in the theaters.
