PATHETIC acting by Bhumi Pednekar and others
Arshad Warsi is ok
Background music sucks (which is a very important aspect of horror movie)
I got bored after watching 30 mins and wanted to stop, but somehow finished watching.
Nothing is refreshing in this movie, all the old methods have been used to create horror, and it has failed badly.

AVG Film - Hit Ya Flop - Movie World
The major drawback of a remake movie is the comparison with the original one. Durgamati which is a cut & paste of Anushka Shetty starrer Bhaagamathie also suffers from the same. For those who haven't watched Bhaagamathie, this remake might come across as a surprise.
The movie is engaging in bits & pieces, the political angle is well executed but falters in the horror sequences. G. Ashok's Bollywood directorial debut is simple and pretty much average. Few scenes and unpredictable twists in the second half will surely hold the interest of viewers.
Despite the weak script, Bhumi Pednekar tried hard to excel in her performance but in comparison to Anushka Shetty's impeccable act in Bhaagamathie, Bhumi's performance looks dull. The makers also fail to do justice to the potential supporting casts, their performances are let down by a monotonous screenplay.
Cinematography is impressive, certain scenes are beautifully shot. Unnikrishnan P P's editing could have been better.

Horror movie turned into Horror comedy
While trying to make a horror movie, it has turned out to be a comedy one, specially due to the hilarious horror scenes. Climax twist will leave audience empty-headed. Scene by scene copy of a film which was mainly for Telegu audience to create one for Hindi movie audience should have been avoided. Bhumi struggles to emote in various scenes, tries to copy Anushka but fails badly

Stop South remakes
Remakes have become a new normal today in the Hindi film industry.
Just shows how incapable are the film-makers of today, just can't get something original out of their experience that they hold of many years ..
Senior citizens occupying the actors seat & new talent mistreated for satisfying their bloated egos .. it's time these so called oldies make way for new actors ..
!!!
Performances are equally bad, not at all entertaining.
Another South movie remake
This film has nothing new to offer,Bollywood has officially lost all of its creativity.They just want to copy South movies and make money.Bhagmati is already a very hit and popular movie, almost everybody has seen it then why remake it and bhumi failed to copy the charm of anushka.. Looks like Bollywood not giving us any original movies soon
Worst
Worst remake. Waste of time. Could have done better. Not at all entertaining.

Worst remake ever
Ruined it by remake.
Arshad acting is good.
But bhumi is not even close to 1% of anushka acting and that after interval transformation scene.
U cant beat the queen anushka acting.
After all queen is queen.
U can copy script but not the acting level which is soul of movie.

Yuck!
Bollywood is copy-cat. Original is far better.. actually THE BEST. Don't let your hard-earned money be used in dark and illegal activities of B-Town. Take care!

Lacked the intensity of the original, but a brave remake.
Durgamati, remake of Bhaagamathie, though predictable, has its moments. The atmospherics of the horror genre plays from the forefront making the genre-blending film watchable. Even though it was not even close to the original, it was just stable enough to mark itself as a good attempt for a successful remake.
Bhumi lacked the intensity which Anushka Shetty had and that's what Durgamati lacked to a certain extent. The length of the remake was 20 minutes longer and I felt it was stretched as well. It could have been wrapped up in 130 minutes. Nonetheless, it was a brave attempt for Bollywood to remake this South Indian hit, and to some extent it did well.
My Rating : 3/5

One more disappointing movie.
It's very disappointing. It's totally ruined the original one. Not even match the 1% level of the original. Very slow & not even 1 time watchable. You can easily skip this if you have already watched the Bhaagamathie. The 1 star is only for Jishu Sengupta & Arshad Warsi.

Pathetic...Bollywood doesn't have creativity left
Sad bollywood can't create anything new and has to copy. While Anushka is stunning in Bhaagmathie, they had to make a remake and copy the content. Watch Bhaagmathie again than this trash...!!!

Watching this movie is like eating an uncooked food..
Watching this movie is like eating an uncooked food. Horrors and thrillers should only made by understanding the capability. I think Bhoomi should have practiced few times walking on those stairs looks funny in the movie when she is possessed
Even the comedy scenes are painfull to watch...yuck!!!
Well you have nothing else to do then you can waste your time watching this movie.

Dont compare and enjoy the movie
I agree that remakes should not be made. However if this movie was not remade i wouldnt have known about this movie. I watch hindi films and not south indian films (no offence to those who likes them) so i discovered this little gem through akshay kumar wikipedia since it is his production.
My mom and i are horror movie buffs so we decided to watch it together tonight. Im writing this review after watching 30 mins ago.
We both enjoyed the film not because its akki's production but because it was different. Political Horror film. Story and direction was gd. Performance wise was ok 4 me. We thought arshad n bhumi's acting was gd compared to some reviewers who thought otherwise. The comedy parts were funny. The last 30mins of the movie was interesting. Twist and another twist. Looking forward for more hindi horror films.

Watch the original Telegu movie instead
Bollywood is taking the audience for granted and creating absolute pieces of garbage. Please watch the original Telegu 2018 Bhaagamathie movie (with subtitles/dubbing) if you want to watch. We should not watch stupid remakes made by Bollywood and save our time and money.

A Very Bold & Brave Remake done by Bollywood !!!
Yes, it is the official remake of 2018 Telugu Blockbuster 'Bhaagamathie' starring Anushka Shetty and Jayaram in lead roles.
I would not say that it is a perfect remake.....but YES this movie has something to offer for audience. Bhumi Pednekar gave very strong performance. Arshad Warsi delivers standout performance in his character. Supporting actors like Mahie Gill, Karan Kapadia, Jisshu Sengupta also gave decent performance. Talking about the story, it is a bit slow. The original movie was around 2hrs 18mins but this is around 2hrs 30mins.
The Background score is superb (it will give you goosebumps sometimes). Dialogues, acting, screenplay, editing, VFX everything is superb.
Please don't go by negative reviews. Please watch it.

Ok. Not as good as original
Ok movie.
Not so bad as others are saying.
Got a story.
Better than the recent Laxxmi Bomb ( that deserves 0 rating ).
Not anywhere near to the original version
When you remake a movie which set a benchmark you have to be careful, ashok just ruined his own film by not sticking to the story and the bgm whoever it is they just ruined the by film with their dj sound and cast is just ok but when you compare with anushka mam they are no where near to her

Bollywood - Stop Copying 🙏
OMG, The standards of Bollywood have fallen drastically !! No Original story, nothing. Just Nepotism promotion and stealing stories from South industry.
I saw the original hindi dub version of Bhagmati on YouTube - It is brilliant. Thought of giving this copy paste version also chance lol, I immediately stopped after 15 minutes. I wish the Indian Film board bans Bollywood from making movies. We very much happy with South movies - we don't need Bollywood 🙏.
