Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap (earlier titled Buddah), is an 2011 Hindi film directed by Puri Jagannadh. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Prakash Raj, Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon, Charmy Kaur, Minissha Lamba, Sonal Chauhan and Subbaraju in the lead roles.
Plot
A quick-tempered, flamboyantly-dressed, retired hit-man returns to India for one last job. Just don't call him "Buddah".[1]
In a film whose only purpose is to get Bachchan into the frame as much as it can, all the supporting acts have to stay content with the sidelines, even if it is a scene gobbler like Prakash Raj (bad guy), or a good actor like Sonu Sood(good guy) who looks a lot like the young, clean-cropped Bachchan in a cop uniform, or the graciously ageing but no bbuddhi Hema Malini (romantic interest, also estranged wife) who steams up the scene, or even the on-the-comeback Raveena Tandon (blonde-streaked flame, there solely to provide laughs).
If ‘Bbuddah’ proves something, it is that there has never been star-actor to fill the Bachchan shaped hole his getting silver has caused. No one delivers dialogue (never just lines, okay?) with such impeccable timing as he does; and as to romance, well, just look at him look at Hema. Yearning went out of style, when Amitabh Bachchan stopped lovin’ and leavin’.
He’s sung a few songs for ‘Bbudah’ : yes, the man can still sing, even if his kicks now don’t quite have the same punch. `Haal-e-Dil’ is a lovely, sonorous ditty and makes me all gooey : Bachchan is no bbuddah, he’s just a grown-up hero in an industry full of callow youths. Only those who retire, or are about to, require tributes. What Bachchan needs is a real, grown-up film, not a stand-up, send-up act.

Production
The director Jagannath wanted to rope in three leading heroines for the movie. Finally he zeroed down on Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon and Charmy Kaur, an actress from South India who will be making her Bollywood debut in this movie.[2] Actress Neha Sharma was also interested in doing Kaur's role, but eventually the role went to Kaur.[2] Tandon later said that she signed the movie to work with Bachchan and Jagannath.[3] For another role in the movie, both Sonal Chauhan and Kangana Ranaut were in discussion, but eventually the role went to Chauhan.[4]
The 'mahurat' shot of the movie was done in March 2011 at Khoja Bungalow in Versova. While Jagannath broke the coconut, actor Sonu Sood featured in the mahurat shot.[5] The event was also attended by Bachchan, his son Abhishek Bachchan, daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and actress Sonal Chauhan.[6]
On 26 April 2011, movie's shooting was disrupted, when Raj Thackeray led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena claimed that there were around 40 foreigners shooting in the movie without proper work permits and visas. MNS filed a police complaint in this regard and later stalled the shooting.[7][8] Following day, director Jagannath apologized to the outfit stating that there were indeed few junior foreign artists in the shoot without proper documentation, and assured to be more vigilant in future.[9] Raveena Tandon has also shot for an item song in the film, titled Main Chandigarh Di Star.
Critical Reception
Raja Sen of Rediff gave it four out of five stars and quoted as "Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap is not a particularly well-crafted film but none of that matters as Amitabh Bachchan makes it work".[10] Behindwoods.com gave a 2 on 5 rating and said "The film is a tribute to Amitabh as the action hero of yesteryear. It is a time pass entertainer and will be well received by the undying fans of his charisma. If Amitabh is all that matters, watch it."[11]
Nikhat Kazmi from Times Of India gave a three and half stars stated "Bbuddah... is a high dose entertainer when the veteran actor never stops amazing you with the range of his histrionics. Despite his age, he grabs eyeballs with his action cuts, his comic cameos, his romantic ditties (with Hema), his libidinous encounters (with Raveena), his emotional bytes, his derring-do, and his over-the top sartorial sense".[12]
Critic Taran Adarsh gave a four out of five stars noted "On the whole, BBUDDAH HOGA TERRA BAAP is a must-watch for Bachchan fans. Even if you're not a fan of this iconic actor, watch it for a simple reason: They don't make them like Amitabh Bachchan anymore. A masala entertainer all the way. Bachchan is truly the Baap and this film reiterates this fact yet again. His character, his attitude and the dialogue he delivers will remain etched in your memory for a long, long time. Prakash Raj is super. In fact, it's a treat to watch powerful actors like Bachchan and Prakash Raj embroiled in a confrontation".[13]
Filmfare gave a four stars says "Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap is a feast for Amitabh Bachchan buffs. The film ends with a disclaimer saying it’s a tribute to the phenomenon and that says it all".[14] Zee News also gave a four stars said "‘Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap’ is a typical Bollywood masala flick with all the ingredients to make it a Box Office hit. An out-an-out Amitabh Bachchan film, ‘Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap’ presents Big B in never before seen role, something which reminds you the exhilarating performance of the iconic star in his earlier films".[15]
Sify gave a two and half stars explained "Big B`s presence is so overwhelming he makes the character— a violent, unlikable one—into a somewhat charismatic one. The altercations between Bachchan and villain (Prakash Raj, fab) are to watch out for especially towards the end. Also worth savoring are the Amitabh-Hema portions where they create magic momentarily. It`s an average story with archaic storytelling. If you`re watching it, keep in mind that Big B is the only thing going for the film".[16]
