JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

namashi_1 A remake of Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat, 'Gang of Ghosts' is an average fare, at best. A wonderful concept, that isn't utilized to the fullest!'Gang of Ghosts' tells the story about a group of ghosts who have lost their shelter due to urbanization. The story starts with a struggling wannabe director who somehow crosses paths with a stranger. The stranger starts to narrate a story to him about a group of ghosts that stay together. The story that the stranger narrates shows the communal, social, linguistic & historical differences among the ghosts, as they belong to different eras. But, very soon these ghosts face an issue protecting their haunt from the hands of demolition.'Gang of Ghosts' offers a terrific concept, but The Writing Material isn't power-packed. To give its due, the first-hour is fairly engaging & some moments are truly funny. But, the second-hour is weak. Also, The humor is clearly missing in this hour. Satish Kaushik's Direction is passable. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are standard.Performance-Wise: Sharman Joshi, as always, delivers a sincere performance. Mahie Gill is strictly okay. Anupam Kher & Saurabh Shukla are superb. Parambrata Chatterjee is effectual enough. Jackie Shroff entertains in a cameo. On the whole, 'Gang of Ghosts' holds limited appeal.

Paresh B. Mehta (FilmyTown) A haunted mansion in Mumbai is to be demolished making way for a glitzy shopping mall. The gang of harmless Ghosts of different eras and social spheres residing in this house are to be dislocated.A late zamindar is the boss of the house residing with a British Lord of the East India Company era, a yesteryear actress, a spoilt rich girl, an unhappy rock musician, a Bengalee and a cab driver. These ghosts decide to fight their own battle against rampant development and win it.A remake of the commercially successful Bengali film Bhooter Bhabishyat, Gang of Ghosts comes up as mish-mashed comedy with sub-plots and undesirable buffoonery.The grand old mansions and mills of South Mumbai are being razed to the ground to make way for swanky condominiums, malls and Multiplexes.Some of these dilapidated disputed buildings were haunted by Ghosts who had taken shelter there over centuries. They were evicted and are homeless today. There is no rehabilitation package on offer. Politicians, media, intellectuals, civic society- no one gives a dam to them. After all, Ghosts can't vote.Royal Mansion is one such heritage property which is rented out for film shoots to facilitate its maintenance. A heroine faints during a shooting allegedly sighting Ghost in a mirror. A filmmaker on a reconnaissance trip to the building gets to hear of a spooky story revolving around the house.It is a pity that even the experienced actors like the buck-toothed Anupam Kher and Rajpal Yadav appear to enact their parts with seemingly no involvement, just taking it easy as walking around in a garden or a mall.Saurabh Shukla, Parambrata Chaterjee (of Kahaani fame) and Yashpal Sharma appear as a bunch of loitering jokers without any sense of direction.To top this all, there is Jackie Shroff with his Bombaiya style taporigiri which doesn't amuse at all.

mamlukman I'll have the honor of the first review. This is bad news. The good news is that is just over two hours--it could have been worse.Acting: Why give poor Anupam Kher those weird teeth? To embarrass him? And, as usual, the British actor cannot act (I see he has been in a number of Hindi movies; isn't it time to take acting lessons?). As always, I find this astounding: A nation (UK) filled with outstanding actors, and yet Indian directors can't find any of them. Hopeless. All of the actors shout their lines throughout the movie. Why? It's just annoying.There are three women in the cast, and I'm sure they might be appealing in another movie, but here they are just wasted. Despite what the song said, they are definitely not "hot". It's not necessarily their fault, they just don't get a chance with all the characters.The whole first half of the movie is taken up by introducing all the ghosts. There is no time to develop an interesting story for ANY of them because there are so many, and it just becomes disjointed, repetitious, and boring. Is this a comedy? Drama? What? And because there are so many, you don't care about any of them--which is key to any movie. You have to cheer for some character. This movie doesn't give you the chance.The second half introduces the plot, weak as it is. A developer wants to buy the mansion and build a high rise, dispossessing the ghosts. They have to scare him off to keep their mansion. But it's not by some ghostly activity, which might have had some interest. It's by the traditional bribes, threats, etc. We've seen all this before, except done much better.But the main problem is the story, or lack of a story. There's nothing to hold your attention. There are no surprises, there is no tension. Sorry, this is just bad.

Chandra Mehendrou Amazing Remake of Bhooter Bhavishyat ...The movie Gang of Ghosts has repeat value, good comic timing, a story that is extremely interesting and something people can't even imagine (the credit goes to the original writer of this story, however the original is slow paced and has many moments of boredom.)Gang of Ghosts removes those elements and make the story tight and faced paced. The song 'Nai dungi' and 'Dasni sharaab di botalaan' are very good.Chunky pandey is too cute in the movie ... Comic timing and dialogues are good too ... Gang of Ghosts directed by Mr. Satish Kaushik high on entertainment and comedy and it is also sensitive at many places.
