Himmatwala Reviews: Tamanna no match to Sridevi, say critics
News

Tamanna
Bhatia's
much-awaited
Hindi
film
was
released
last
Friday
(March
29).
The
actress
had
pinned
high
hopes
on
her
second
outing
in
Bollywood
as
she
had
paired
up
with
Ajay
Devgn
in
Himmatwala.
But
her
second
innings
in
the
B-Town
has
not
started
on
a
good
note
as
critics
have
downplayed
her
performance
in
the
flick.
The
recently
released
Hindi
film
has
got
poor
reviews
from
critics
and
bad
word-of-mouth
from
audience.
Shockingly,
the
film
has
been
given
poor
ratings
from
all
across
the
sections.
However,
the
last
thing
that
Tamanna
Bhatia
wanted
from
audience
is
comparisons
between
Sridevi
and
her.
Unfortunately,
many
have
compared
and
have
went
short
of
good
words
for
the
Paiyaa
girl.
Many
have
felt
that
neither
her
chemistry
with
Ajay
Devgn
looks
good
nor
her
presence
in
the
movie
has
been
appreciated.
Nonetheless,
it
has
to
be
noted
that
she
has
one
more
Hindi
film
starring
superstar
Akshay
Kumar
to
prove
her
talents.
Here,
we
are
bringing
you
a
couple
of
statements
made
by
critics.

Tamanna
Is
No
Match
To
Sridevi
Nabanita
of
Oneindia
writes
about
Tamanna
Bhatia,
"I
feel,
she's
beautiful,
but
she's
nowhere
close
to
the
legendary
Sridevi."
No
chemistry
Between
The
Lead
Stars
Sukanya
Verma
of
Rediff
wrote,
"The
two
have
no
chemistry
with
each
other
or
anyone
else
in
the
movie."
Tamanna
Is
A
Disappointment
Mohar
Basu
of
Koimoi
felt,
"Tamanna
is
a
disappointment.
With
a
tendency
of
getting
lost
in
a
flood
of
actors,
she
fails
dismally
for
her
dull
screen
presence.
She
tried
her
best
to
replicate
Sridevi's
Rekha,
with
a
commendably
visible
honest
effort
but
that's
all
for
her."
Tamanna
Bhatia's
Performance
In
Vain
Khalid
Mohamed
of
Deccan
Chronicle
feels,
"Tamanna
Bhatia
tries
to
look
and
behave
like
Sridevi,
in
vain."
Tamanna
Bhatia
Looks
Promising
However,
a
critic
from
Zee
TV
differs
from
the
rest
as
she
gives
thumbs
up
to
the
actress.
"Tamanna
Bhatia
as
Rekha
looks
very
promising.
She
is
pretty,
delicate
and
good
at
her
job,"
she
writes.
