Bow Barracks Forever Movie Review

Small budget films generally tend to surprise you pleasantly. Take the case of last year’s Khosla Ka Ghosla or this year’s hilarious Bheja Fry. A strong story and great performance subdues the effects of a small budget.

Bow Barracks Forever is another such film . By “such” I mean a small budget film. So will Bow Barracks Forever surprise us pleasantly or give us a rude shock? Here’s what the critics have to say.

Rajeev Masand : ” Based on what is undeniably an interesting premise, Bow Barracks Forever loses much of its appeal because of its amateurish direction. Cliches are strewn around the film generously where there was need for none.”

Movie Rating : 2/5 

Meetu : “Unfortunately, the screenplay and the dialogues make this a drag to watch. Thirty minutes shorter and the movie would improve on both counts, because inevitably all the repetitive lines would have to see the door.”

Movie Rating : 3/5 

Sukanya Verma : “As you walk out the theatre, you wonder what does the film really say? It doesn’t really answer any questions it raises or solve any problems. Until when it does, in a manner so implausible, it loses credibility. All Bow Barracks Forever! does is add ‘man’, ‘bugger’ and ‘bloody’ to your vocabulary.”

Movie Rating : 2/5 

 Anupama Chopra : “Bow Barracks is often clumsy, slow and even unintentionally comical. Like its lead characters, Bow Barracks is flawed and flailing but also, engaging. I recommend that you see it.”

Movie Rating : 3/5 

Nikhil Kazmi : “ A little more attention to production details, (the low cost canvas gets tacky in places) with some cutting edge editing would have made Bow Barracks Forever a complete winner. Go for it nevertheless to savour an India that might soon disappear. ”

Movie Rating : 3/5
