He added: “What Ajay Devgn the star deserved, was a sharper director and a better script. That simple but potentially promising premise is buried under so much idiotic backstory involving Devgn’s character and the little girl’s mother you can’t decide whether to laugh or to cringe.” “Ajay Devgn, who has also directed the film, plays Shivaay, a desperate father who must literally scale mountains to rescue his mute eight-year-old daughter when she’s kidnapped on a trip they take to Bulgaria. One of Bollywood’s top critics, Rajeev Masand, didn’t mince his words either. But Shivaay is a misfire of Himalayan proportions.”
“Visually, there is much going for this film, especially with cinematographer Aseem Bajaj making the most of the striking Balkan canvas and painting breathtakingly pretty pictures on it. Saibal Chatterjee, writing for NDTV, thought that despite the gorgeous cinematography, the film is a mess. The response to the film by critics is overwhelmingly negative.
The Ajay Devgn-starrer may have collected 10 crore rupees on the Indian box office, but is a disaster on all fronts. It looks like we have a contender for the title of worst Hindi film of the year.
