#BellBottom a big screen engaging espionage thriller. @akshaykumar as the super RAW agent with his swag is terrific and carries the show. #RanjitTiwari delivers perfect big screen entertainment especially the climax sand storm scene. pic.twitter.com/giKX96J4NP

#BellBottom has a wonderful ensemble cast and the ones who stand out include #LaraDutta, #AdilHussain and the antagonist #ZainKhanDurrani... #VaaniKapoor and #HumaQureshi are decent... Background score is effectual. #BellBottomReview

#BellBottom : How a RAW Agent leads a Team to rescue a flight that was hijacked in the early 80's..@akshaykumar fits the role of the RAW agent perfectly and does a fine job..@Vaaniofficial and @humasqureshi are neat in their respective roles..

Overall, a decent thriller!

#BellBottomReview: @akshaykumar is back to his home-ground & there's no other actor who could firmly hold the intrigue along with a pinch of his trademarked humour. This could have amassed seetis, taalis & have been a sureshot BO success under normal scenario. 170 crs at LEAST.

#BellBottom: There wasn't a PERFECT movie to bring back theatres to life than this. @akshaykumar in a chat with us said, "We haven't missed the boat (read: box office) but have started the rusty boat" & that's true. #BellBottomReview #BellbottomInCinemasAug19 #AkshayKumar

FINISHED #BellBottom in a near houseful theatre with almost 60% occupancy. It is the rare movie that succeeds on almost every level, where each character, scene, costume, and joke firing on all cylinders to make a film worth repeated viewings. MADNESS !!!#BellBottomReview
