Too much for too little!!!
What should have been a lightweight and harmless fun film turns into a pointless and tedious one towards the end. But Arvind Swamy does make some amends.(more)

Falls flat both in comedy and sentiments
The first half of the film is slightly better with some good entertainment, thanks to the cute kids and Arvind Swamy's characterization. But post-intermission, things do not work mainly because of the over the top stunts in the climax, forced twists and needless crime angle. The music in Bhaskar Oru Rascal is passable and Vijay Ulaganath's cinematography is strictly average. As pointed out earlier, the action choreography is outdated and does not match the current standards. Overall, Bhaskar Oru Rascal is an average entertainer which would've worked in the late 9's.(more)

Arvind Swami is the saving grace in this lousy remake
Barring moments where one can find relief in comedy, Siddique's Bhaskar Oru Rascal falls flat on its face and emerges as one of the most boring films in recent times.(more)

Arvind Swami can't save this escapist entertainer with no logic
Arvind Swami is seen for the first time in a mass hero avatar, trying to salvage the film. Amala Paul looks chic, while Master Raghavan and Baby Nainika are irritating beyond a point. On the whole, Bhaskar Oru Rascal is like an '80s escapist entertainer with no logic.(more)

Bhaskar Oru Rascal Review
The issue with the film is the same that its original version, too, had. While the first half offers some interesting moments, inspite of some loud performances from some artistes, a promising twist, unfortunately, makes way to a less-engaging second half. The songs hardly impress, while the background score is strictly OK. What could have been a lighthearted family drama with little fun moments, goes on to become a confused action film, with criminals and gang wars, later. Towards the end, at least convincing screenplay developments and a less-exaggerated fight sequence would have provided relief.(more)

This Aravind Swami film lacks focus and depth
The film tries to explore the relationship two single parents have with their children. Both parents in the story have children who are on the opposite ends of the spectrum - while Bhaskar is a 'rascal', his son is polite and docile. While Anu wants to be problem-free, her daughter wants to face it head-on. For two primary school kids, the children do seem to know a lot. I quite liked the fact that they were, for the most part, treated as adults. But Siddique does push it a tad too much at times. And to place these angles in an espionage story is a bit too hard to digest, even more so when it is riddled with plot holes.(more)
