I have not watched too many Bollywood films before, because to me, once you see one film, it is as if you watched it all. Really, the storyline is almost the same, the premise, the tearjerkers and whatnot. The differences that... Full review

Well, Nagesh Kukunoor has once again delivered what he is famous for. A gripping story presented in light manner. Only, this time he has chosen to go for other things like love across countries, comedy and foreign actress. The movie is... Full review

Bombay to Bangkok is the story of a small time cook in a dingy restaurant named Shankar (Shreyas Talpade). Faith leads him to Bangkok... well actually local Mafia goons makes him escape because he had stolen the money that they had... Full review
Even though I would have to confess that I can be categorized as a cult follower of Nagesh Kukunoor, I haven't let that bias this review of the movie. The movie is narrative at its best. The director has a grip... Full review
In few words, the movie doesn't seem to be a product of Nagesh. If you are expecting something on the lines of "Dor" or "3 Deewarein", then you will not only be disappointed big time but would also feel shocked to... Full review

Bombay to Bangkok is yet another, light-hearted romantic comedy about a boy from Mumbai and a girl from Bangkok. Shreyas Talpade is one of the most talented actors among the younger lot in Bollywood, and the new face Lena Christensen is talk of the tinsel town. ... Full Review

an outstanding scene and undoubtedly the only clever joke in the film....I'm going with two out of five for director Nagesh Kukunoor's Bombay To Bangkok, it's his most disappointing film yet.....the problem with Bombay To Bangkok in fact....Bombay To Bangkok is sorely lacking in such memorable moments.... ...

The supposedly funny moments are mired in self-importance. The support provided for love to evolve in the script and direction is so minimal that you wonder what Kukunoor was thinking when he put the "desi" chef and his Malaysian play-mate into a film that treats crime time as a rap song and the road-romance-thriller as a cauldron of kill-joy techniques. ...

Even the production value of the film is poor. In case you ever needed proof that even a sensitive film maker can fall flat in the process of making a good comedy take this not just for an example. ... Full Review

Several portions of the film are just purely annoying like whenever Nagesh shows a scene and cuts across to reveal that it was just a dream sequence. Kukunoor tries real hard by inserting a lot of dumb humor into the gloomy premise to try to liven things up when nothing else is working. ... Full Review
