Ratings:1/5 Rush Review by Rohit Khilnani Rediff Quite a few filmmakers seem to be fascinated by the television media business. But whether it was the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Rann or Emraan Hashmi's latest film Rush, none of them even get their basic facts right.Emraan Hashmi plays his part with honesty but it doesn't look like his contribution will save this film. After a series of hits and critically acclaimed roles this one will do no good to Hashmis' rising career. The shooting style in a lot of scenes and even the songs with spot lights on actors gives the feel of the 1980s cinema.We cannot recommend Rush.
Ratings:3/5 Review by IANS NDTV Far-fetched, yes. But Rush has its adrenaline rushing moments in the second half when the narrative picks up momentum and moves steadily towards a climax that is not entirely edge-of-the-seat. Emraan as the backbone of plot performs decently. He has more speaking lines and less kissing to do here than in all his recent films. Whether the verbosity actually translates into something substantial or not is debatable.Rush has the bone though not enough meat to make for a juicy fare on the excesses of television journalism. It leaves you wondering what director Shamin Desai would have done with his film making career had he lived.
Ratings:1.5/5 Review by Apurva Bhatia Koimoi What’s Good: Hashmi’s decent performance, Eye-candy Chak De India star Sagarika Ghatge on screen after a hiatus, JazzyB’s song Fukraa What’s Bad: Botched up Screenplay, Too much Dialogue-baazi, lack of intensity.Loo Breaks: Quite a few.Watch or Not: Watch it ‘only’ if you are an Emraan Hashmi fan.
Ratings:1.5/5 Review by Mayank Shekhar Dainik Bhaskar This one seems to be set in an alternate universe, where laws and police don’t exist, and television ratings rule the world. The film could seriously work as a bleak view into a disturbingly scary, fictionalised future. Except, it’s set in the present, and in the present, as we know, there are about 800 TV channels in India, of which a majority are news stations, none of which make big bucks, if they make any profits at all.When the film eventually reveals the dangerous practices employed by his TV station, you may wish to laugh. But you don’t. Because this is an Emraan Hashmi flick my brothers. No one walked into the theatre looking for a story. They want sex and Sufi songs. There is no sex. There are lots of Sufi songs. Damn, what’s the point then.
