One of the wrost movies I have ever seen

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The movie was worth watching for the simple fact that, the background of the movie was Bhopal gas tragedy, though focus of the film got stuck for a longer time on the Zohrabai song rather than shedding more light on the tragedy itself. Everything of the movie was interesting but wish more facts and focus was given to the actual event. Nevertheless the whole effort needs to be applauded for bringing the tragedy to limelight again. Such events need to be filmed and documented and in that respect the producer and director of the film have done a service to humanity. The acting and story behind the tragedy was captivating and all the actors did excellent job.

I appreciate the movie being made to remind people of the old and almost forgotten story of the Bhopal gas tragedy. Very good acting by Kaykay and Naseeruddin Shah. During many of the movie scenes, one almost felt one was there. However, the plot did not seem to hold through the movie. There was almost no development of character for people working in the plant.Like other people have said, the long scene of Bashir Mian being entertained by Zohrabai could've been shortened. Apart from that, there seem to be some unanswered questions - As with any disaster and news spreading so fast, how is it that the next day 3 PM Bhopal express was not halted long before? For Tara to leave 9 PM one day and return 3 PM the next day, it would indeed make an extremely short trip. If it was actually more than a day later, I would expect news to have spread for sure and also most of the gas have diffused away.If some of these questions have obvious answers, I would like to hear them. If not, all I have to say is that a story with holes in the plot summary loses its effect.

Aside from the fact that no movie can ever do justice in portraying the plight of people who were and are still being affected by the horrible tragedy that struck Bhopal in 1984, this movie is decently made, but still leaves quite a bit to be desired. Naseeruddin Shah did his cameo well. The lead actor acted well and the actress didn't have much role to play, but her facial expressions were quite good for a newcomer. I personally feel that too much time was spent in shooting the 'bar' scene. Aside from showing the gas leak and minor aftermath, there was nothing in the movie that one hasn't already seen in tons of other documentaries. It is still commendable that the crew picked such an important topic. 7/10

This film relates the real life chemical industrial accident of the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India in 1984. Known as the "Hiroshima" of such industrial tragedies, the gas that leaked from this badly constructed building killed thousands and is still the cause of many deaths every month.For a first time director, 'Bhopal Express' is handled extremely well. Very little of the actual factory is shown early in the film. Instead, Mahesh Mathai allows the film time and space to build in emotion and intensity displaying a cinematic wisdom that will be exciting to watch grow. The acting is strong and believable and the cinematography, done by Mathai himself, is reminiscent of the graceful, fluent movements of the great Satyajit Ray. Although the ending suffers from a touch of sentimentality, it is almost deserved and allows the narrative to end rising, though not on what you would call a high note.
