Shamitabh Ratings & Reviews
Digital Spy
Priya Joshi
Above all it is his self-indulgent salute to his idol, the incomparable Amitabh Bachchan. And nobody will blame him for that.
The Times of India
Srijana Mitra Das
Often evoking The Artist, Dhanush is terrific as film-crazy Daanish.
Mumbai Mirror
Rahul Desai
The novelty of yet another unconventional Balki idea wears off in precisely 30 minutes.
Hindustan Times
Rohit Vats
Despite flaws, Balki is definitely a brave director who has attempted something new in Shamitabh.
Gulf News (UAE)
Manjusha Radhakrishnan
While Shamitabh may not be gripping from start to finish, it's a treat to watch its lead actors.
Filmfare
Rachit Gupta
A moving argument to why we love a phenomenon called Amitabh Bachchan.

Nandini Ramnath
Balki has a unique feel for comic soufflés, but into his third film, he still hasn't overcome his tendency to over-elaborate plot detail through dialogue, nor has he arrived at a discernible visual style that can goes beyond basic slick.
Reuters
Shilpa Jamkhandikar
Llike a pilot who has no idea where he's going to land his plane, Balki keeps circling round and round, playing out the same conflicts over and over again.
NDTV
Saibal Chatterjee
Engaging, if over-indulgent.
Outlook
Namrata Joshi
Sadly, the film feels more manipulative than sensitive. And also extremely boring.
The Indian Express
Shubhra Gupta
Paradoxically, it is Amitabh Bachchan, whose voice powers the movie, who is not able to break free from the pedestal he is put upon.
Guardian
Mike McCahill
The shame is that Shamitabh can't hold to a coherent line. Balki muffles his most compelling ideas ...
Time Out
Anil Sinanan
Bachchan's millions of die-hard fans will be in speechless bliss.
