Can be bypassed with ease

'Bypass Road' is a tedious watch. Also, it's sad to witness a competent actor like Neil Nitin Mukesh, who made a fabulous debut in a thriller film called 'Johnny Gaddaar' years ago, being underutilised in a weak movie with no thrills. 'Bypass Road' is a classic example of why sometimes it is okay to not take the path less traveled.(more)

It Won't Say 'Bye' Until You 'Pass' Out!

Bypass Road is not a route you would want to take off you're looking for a good thriller. You might find a lot of unintentional humour as I did (refer: script analysis) but thrills are the last thing you'll get from this. Skip it!(more)

Neil Nitin Mukes's Thriller Turns Out To Be A Bumpy Ride!

'Safety is cheers, accident is tears', reads a message on the wall in a scene in Neil Nitin Mukesh's 'Bypass Road'. Well, this rhyming line almost seems to be warning us of the bumpy ride ahead.(more)

Bypass Road goes around in circles and gets nowhere

No amount of thunder and lightning, cats and threats, conveniently forsaken homes to carry out a long-drawn-out clash between masked intruders and wheelchaired victims (something the recent Game Over did so well) can chart Bypass Road's bumpy course.(more)

The Neil Nitin Mukesh film is a drag

The plot is convoluted. The proceedings are confused. The bit of menace generated by the cat-and-mouse chase in the house is diluted by weak strands which add nothing to the main act. A couple of men in black, one with a drawn face, and the other with a stern one, are in the mix. So are two women who never look very sure about their bearings.(more)

Despite a suave Neil Nitin, plodding and unoriginal!

Much as I would like to watch, and recommend, a tightly woven suspense drama replete with surprise that jolts you out of your preconceived findings and verdicts, Bypass Road is definitely not the one: We will have to wait for an edgy thriller with a plot that is not a throwback to the 1970s and the 1980s Bollywood's unsurprising banal themes that would hold your attention from start to finish!(more)
