Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Action Replayy is a quite entertaining film but it was tagged to "Sci-Fi". This entire film full of humor but for those who expect a science fiction traveling back to the past and making changes that reflect in the future, will be disappointed. Film starts with Bhikku's parents are fighting and Bhikku frightened to marry his girlfriend. He then travels back to the past and the big part of the movie starts. 60s-70s environment shown in the film is beautiful and Akshay and Aishwarya are doing their regular superb performance to recreate those characters' past with a good sense of humor. Music across the film is one of the reason why I appreciate the film very much. First hour of the film describes the young age of Bhikku's father (Krishen) but he loves Mala even though she is clearly out of his league with his appearance and behavior. Bhikku then helps his own father to be attractive and the film gets even more funnier. I have a similar background and I find character names (Mala, Krishen, etc), locations, music very 70s.

The Diwali of 2010 witnessed two movies Action Replayy and Golmaal 3. Action Replayy,directed by Vipul Shah is a bland remake of Back To The Future. Action Replayy tries very hard to entertain but unfortunately it fails big time.Main reason is its dull script.The Om Puri and Kirron Kher saga is so boring.Instead of being comedy it ends up being tragedy. I feel very sad for Mr Aditya Raj Kapoor,he is such a good actor wonders what he saw in this monotonous script. We have even the Roadies fame Rannvijay.He is the baddie who can sing in both male and female voice?Funny,right? The music is purely third grade. Performance wise-Akshay Kumar,its high time you leave comedy genre in Bollywood and start doing some action movies.Aishwarya Rai,for the first time looks and acts bad.Aditya is the saving grace.Neha Dhupia,Rndhir Kapoor,Om Puri,Kirron Kher and Rajpal Yadav are wasted.Rannvijay Singh is stupid.Overall Action Replayy is tacky.Bad

Akshay Kumar and Vipul Shah returning together with a time travel comedy on the Big Diwali weekend sounded great and exciting for every Bollywood fan. But sadly, once again the HIT machine fails to deliver and the actor ditches his every die-hard admirer with a simply awful movie which keeps hanging between different genres of Fiction, Adventure, Comedy and Science Fiction. In fact ACTION REPLAYY forced me to think that whether Akshay ever watches the rushes of the movies he is working in and discusses the product in the making with his director? The thought came to my mind because after consistently giving weak and bad movies in the past, Akshay repeatedly commits the same mistake again and returns with a thoroughly unlikable film which is even less entertaining than his miserable duds, Chandni Chowk to China and Blue.First of all, nobody can say that it's an Original Story Plot as the writers take all their inputs from the Classic English Trilogy "BACK TO THE FUTURE (Part I-III)" and they cannot deny it in any way. And further talking about this inspirational angle, ACTION REPLAYY can be easily rated as "One of the most destructive rip-offs or inspired movies made in the history of Indian Cinema". The statement will be more clear and meaningful for the viewers who have actually watched the Original English Classics and still remember them. In straight words ACTION REPLAYY brutally murders the interesting plot taken from BTTF and completely ruins the idea with a highly amateurish, silly and boring kind of product which stands not even close to the 'B' of BACK TO THE FUTURE Series.Frankly speaking, How can you seriously enjoy a movie made on the Time- Travel subject in which the director does not even care to explain you anything about the concept and only shows a professor and his weird machine which can take you back to the past years just like a Local BEST or DTC Bus going towards your home street. Moreover, the boy moving back to the past (in the year 1975), easily goes there, makes some changes and then returns back, just to find everything in the present changed as per his own requirements. That was really the most silly thought put in by the writers with a very poor visual imagination and creativity.Although made with good production values and eye-catching colourful backgrounds ACTION REPLAYY fails to make an impression mainly because it is neither a good science fiction nor a fine emotional drama. And more importantly, it is quite far from being called a COMEDY since there is not even one good scene which can make you laugh as you did in some of Akshay's earlier famous comedy classics. The writing is bad, the characterization is poor and the acting is pretty loud at most of the places by all the prominent actors. Akshay is not at all funny and also looks quite weird in his 70s getup. Aishwarya does look beautiful in those well worked upon dresses but on the entertainment quotient the entire cast performs over the top and fails miserably. Particular the individual tracks of Rannvijay Singh, Om Puri and Kiron Kher are all below the standards. Randhir Kapoor, Neha Dhupia and Rajpal Yadav are hardly there on the screen and get wasted. Only Aditya Roy Kapur as the time travelling son of Akshay and Aishwarya leaves an impact and the boy would certainly get more work after this, that's for sure.Pritam as the music-man once again remixes some old hit punjabi phrases in "Zor Ka Jhatka" and also gets his inspiration from a "Bombay Rockers" Song. He certainly knows something about the art of getting inspired and yet keep on going without any fear. However I felt the background music by Salim-Sulaiman more enjoyable than the entire musical soundtrack.Overall, ACTION REPLAYY is a bad attempt made on the subject of time travel with a small pinch of love. In fact it's a patch on the films made on the similar plots. It has simply got no entertainment value as such and fails to keep you hooked in right from its starting reels. But the point here to be noted is that what BACK TO THE FUTURE does to you in just 90 minutes, ACTION REPLAYY is not able to give you even 10% of it in its more than 2 hours of duration. So we should seriously study this difference, in order to come up with at least 50% of the Original Inspiring movies with some added Indian touches. At times Bollywood has delivered equivalent or even better remakes like "Ek Ruka Hua Faisla" or "Chhoti Si Baat". But ACTION REPLAYY remains one of the most under- worked and lifeless inspired movies of the current times.In short, even the repeat telecast of Akshay's MASTER CHEF T.V. Serial will entertain you more than this tacky rip off. And I think the statement says it all.

This movie is complete waste of Time & Money...A movie going nowhere .... well actually i don't blame the cast .....it is wholly the writer ,d screen play n director who r to be blamed...not a sci-fi at all...i can see why Indian cinema is going nowhere..though there r very good movies too...but that too thousand in one... The real fun element is that how badly its all made up..total mess. Remind u its all from the master piece Robert Zemeckis "back to the future" trilogy..though it tells u in the beginning it is based on some authors play "action replayy".. but u all may conceive that the play was based on the Back to the Future.. well now ..this movie have on stage a young man named bunty who hates to marry his girlfriend ...coz he will end up like his parents.But at one point of time ...his parents are about to break up..this is when the boy decides to go back to the past using time machine invented by his girlfriend's uncle to revive his mother n father relationship making them fall in love with each other from the beginning as this would reflect in the future..the boy succeeds after a lot of hit n trial method..hard though so i tell u the plot is complete crap..."A MUST NOT WATCH" If u feel like having real fun then u must see back to the future if u haven't watched it yet..n u r fond of sci-fi.It will tell u what a real sci-fi is... I tried watching Action Replayy for about 30 min..den thought that it may turn out some good at d end...den i continued watching it till the end resulting in total loss of my worthwhile 2hr n 15 min ...plus felt like a loser like akshay kumar in the movie coz of watching it. oh i forgot to tell u guys one thing ....the comedy n fun is truly awful..it is so pathetic...i didn't laugh even once ...
