I feel that I'm being quite generous on my rating of 7/10, as I was expecting a lot from Action Replayy and it did not live up to those standards. With Akshay Kumar playing a lead role, I was expecting gut-bursting laughs, and thankfully, that has fulfilled it's promise. I found the humour to be the saving grace in the movie, and there are laughs. I would not call them gut-bursting laughs, but there were many comical moments that evolved into a hearty laugh from me. Akshay did not disappoint. The plot is basically non-existent, and is loosely adapted from Robert Zemeckis's genius "Back to the Future". Sadly Action Replayy is not in the same realm in the slightest. It's sad that BTTF has to be linked to this as it is a poor adaptation of a classic movie. The lack of plot is the key factor which lets the film down. In addition, the film is quite jumpy and many important details are left unexplained, confusing the viewer. The casting is well done, although I never would have placed Neha Dhupia in her role of Mona. I feel she has the talent capacity of a grape, and was not wrong as she was just a pretty face in the movie. Akshay was lovable and funny, and the physical transformation we see him in is hilarious. He makes a fantastic geek. Aishwarya as his love interest was an interesting choice - they have not been seen together on screen for a while and I was curious to see the outcome. She looks stunning on screen, the 1970s style and attire suits her brilliantly and she looks very much like a Hindi Film heroine from that era. Her performance was satisfactory, I enjoyed her in the role of Mala, and there's no denying she performed well, if we excuse some overacting. Rannvijay Singh as Kundanlal was irksome and brings out a lot of the comedy in the movie - he was a great villain. Rajpal Yadav as always, made me laugh. However the most striking piece of the puzzle was the newcomer Aditya Roy Kapoor as the protagonist Bunty. He's very appealing and for one of his first few films I'd say he did a good job. There were points where I found him quite irritating but it was more the fault of the poor screenplay and lack of storyline. Bunty screaming "Woo Hoo!" at seeing his parents fall in love, made me cringe immensely, but I hold this more to the script and not him. Kirron Kher and Om Puri are wasted, but as usual play their parts par excellence as expected. And there is even another fresh face playing Bunty's love interest Tanya.I loathed the "time machine" scenes because they were done with about the effort of a five-year old. We were told the bare minimum about the time machine and the CGI-travelling-through-time sequence is terrible. I also found the music less catchy than what I expected, and some of the lyrics are terrible - "all my ladies and my mans, and my mans and all my ladies!" - there were very few good quality musical bits. Action Replayy is a flawed film, with it's plot (or lack of) being the main letdown, but I still wouldn't say this film is not worth watching. As much as I didn't want to, I did find the humour amusing and there are definitely laughable moments in the film. Action Replayy is more lighthearted than anything, and should be seen with an open mind and low expectations. This is good for a lazy evening in, but don't watch this expecting a great cinematic experience, because it's not that sort of film. If you're looking for an easy laugh, however, this could be it.

Well please don waste ur much time. If u really wanna taste headache then u can go ahead.The story line is worst. And its so dumb that where its not even 1% realistic. Where akshay's son goes back to 30yrs back & makes their parents fall in love.Akshay acting(AWFUL), Aishwarya (over acting), Aditya Roy Kapoor (he gotta know the meanin of acting first).Please skip this stupid movie & don't even think of even watching it even in DVD at home.This is most ever FLOP & third class movie which has no sense.

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 ...

i went to watch this movie with great expectation because i am very fond of sci fictions and watched BACK TO FUTURE so was keen to watch Hindi version of it.. but all expectations were shattered because 1) its not a sci fiction at all 2) its no where near to "BACK TO FUTURE"the plot is complete mess. no story at all random jumps from here to there. screenplay was even worse. though it had few good punches in between but it fails to give u good feeling about of movie overall. it was desperate attempt to bring back the fashion of golden 70's on screen. And it was the only motive of the movie(as i mentioned no story at all). As it was considered the era where the designer used to play with colors. so fashion designer tried that leads should wear all types of stupid colored dresses( which i think even in 70's no one used to wear that). everything about clothing was cheap!!! except Aishwarya in Saree in one or two songs. The next irritating thing was akshay kumar with his old repetitive style of acting(comedy which doesn't make you laugh now). i am really disappointed by him he being doing same thing from past two years and direct consequences are failure at box office.Aishwarya full of over acting. The only good thing about the movie was the new actor aditya kumar roy. he is screen presence and spontaneousness is quite impressive. he really made his mark with his debut (though it was a wrong one). and the one thing i noticed that in starting why every oldie was looking black(as if they haven't washed their face from years). GOD bless director's thinking. overall this is sub standard movie with superstars.. every thing is really bad to watch. i wasted 200 rs on this rubbish stuff.. my suggestion would be say your money and more importantly 2and1/2 hours.
