Qayamat is heavilly borrowed from Hollywood Hit The Rock. Ajay Devgan plays the Sean Connery character who is heart broken and silent, it looks pathethic. Sunil Shetty is one of the Indian army who goes over the top with his unrealistic action scenes. The person that plays Nicholas Cage is unknown actor Aashish Choudhury, in a very weak performance. The positive side of this film has to be the Sexy Actresses. Introducing the Very Sexy Neha Duphia looking delicious. There is also the very sexy Riya Sen looking Hot as ever. Qayamat has entertaining villains, the chemistry between Arbaaz Khan, Sanjay Kapoor and Isha Kopikar is Enjoyable. The movie does have some fun moment. The Songs are quite enjoying. Overall this movie is a good time pass. Thanks a lot for the Girls of the film.

Come on!! For god's sake! IF you cant think of an original idea, atleast make a decent remake!
Only good(being overly generous) thing in this movie is Ajay Devgan. Rest of the cast is idiotic. So is the action. It seems like Ajay Devgan gets a rocket up his butt whenever a bomb explodes nearby!
my rating 3/10. Why three 4 for Devgan's acting + 2 for Neha Dhupia's body + 1 riya sen's exposure + 2 overall things - 6 for Sanjay Kapoor and Arbaaz khan

I always used to love watching this movie as a kid, but that is not the case now. After watching this movie in 2019, I realised that I always used to blame the politicians for the conflicts between Pakistan and India, now I know that these filmmakers are equally responsible. This movie is highly biased and is targeted towards defamation of Pakistan.

This is an excellent movie for anyone who watches a lot of Indian movies, but not a lot of Hollywood movies. Thats because its a rip-off of 'The Rock'. I would have enjoyed it more if I had not watched 'The Rock'. There were some unnecessary special effects in this movie that were annoying sometimes. I would give it a 2 out of 5.

This movie has a big cast but meaningless storyline and the worst thing is it's not an original story. This is a copy of the Hollywood movie, the Rock.
Sunil shetty's acting made me laugh, he tried to look serious but it was funny to see him make a copy movie. The villains were many times worst. The directors chose two flop actors. I had to keep forwarding just to laugh at the end. And Ajay Devgan as Sean Connery's copy was a big joke. They didn't make the lab scene very real, it looked so fake. Every one's acting was a fake and not enjoyable to watch. You just had to laugh even more when they throw songs into it
Did you see Sean Connery dancing around trees?
Highly unrecommended. Don't waste your time with this movie.

I am surprised to see such a low rating for such an entertaining movie. Well these days people prefer pretending to be a brilliant critique rather than enjoying a movie. Well this movie certainly doesn't deserve any award except for songs, Sunil Shetty dialogues and Ajay Devgan's acting, but, if you want a nice action thriller, a change of trend in Hindi cinema in early millennium and or if you watch movie just for fun and entertainment, then don't miss this movie. Whether or not it is copy of the movie "The Rock". This movie is made with lot of efforts, which you'll see, this movie serves entertainment and it's definitely worth watching.

This movie is awesome! With a movie boasting of a big, talented cast, every character is excellently developed. The idea of threatening Mumbai with biological weapons is very interesting and scary. The Sanjay-Isha-Arbaaz terrorist trio is also a completely new and unheard of concept. There is a good portion of romance but placed such that it does not blur away the action/suspense. Songs are fabulous, especially the "Qayamat" track. Although the jail seems to be inspired heavily from Alcatraz, this is a sleek, intelligent film.
This movie promised a lot at the beginning but faltered after Ajay Devgan's introduction. One of the main reasons is the unnecessary songs that just disrupt the flow of the movie. I see this happening with many Bollywood movies and it's just plain annoying. Nevertheless, since Qayamat is digitally rendered, it looks very good on the big screen. The story is lifted off The Rock(1996), but fails to grip the viewer as much as The Rock did. The Rock was not only entertaining, but also full of tension. Qayamat did not provide any of that to me. The acting was just about OK, with the sole exception of Ajay Devgan. This movie was a hit, so a lot of credit should be given to Devgan. He hits all the right points at the right time and provides exactly the kind of crowd-pleasing-ass-kickin'-tour-de-force that is needed to carry a movie like this. Suniel Shetty does a commendable job, but the rest of the cast have nothing to be proud of. I thought the trio of Arbaaz-Sanjay-Isha just got annoying toward the later stages. If there was one thing this movie could be proud of, it's Allan Amin's action sequences. Though ripped off many Hollywood action movies, the action is great and the time and effort put into those sequences has really paid off. Overall, this movie can be watched once, but not more. 6/10.

I watched this movie the other day as i had keenly anticipated the release of it. As ever in true bollywood style the story is a blatently been lifted from the hollywood blockbuster The Rock. The film is very entertaining throughout keeping u at the edge of your seatz most of the way through. There are a number of faultz in this movie...mainly the lacklustre acting from most of the cast & the highly annoying script, also dere are to many songs in Qayamat, mainly in the first half which only slowz down the pace of this action flick. There are two factorz that save dis movie from being a complete stinker...AJAY DEVGAN & THE ACTION SCENEZ. The action scenez in Qayamat are probably the best ever in bollywood, they leave u in complete awe as u can see a lot of time & money has been spent 2 make the scenez look accomplished Ajay Devgan totally stealz the show with his superb acting in a role which was tailor made 4 him, even though he hardly speakz throughout the whole of the movie his emotionz are shown through his brilliant pragmatics, this role definetly is up there wid his brilliant rolez in COMPANY, DEEWANEGEE & LEGEND OF BHAGAT SINGH...trully mezmerizing. Overall this movie is pure eye candy...if u want a entertaining nite out then go watch QAYAMAT I give it 7/10

THE FILM:
Qayamat produced by Pammi Baweja and directed by Harry Baweja is an action packed film,a multistarrer film which stars Ajay Devgan,Suniel Shetty,Arbaaz Khan,Sanjay Kapoor,Raveena Tandon,Riya Sen and Isha Koppikar with 2 debutantes 'Ashish Chowdhry' and 'Neha Dhupia'.This film has been made in a complete MATRIX style!
THE CHARACTERS AND PERFORMANCES:
1.Rahul (Ashish Chowdhry):Rahul is a young brilliant hard-working scientist,and is very professional.He is a shy guy,who is not so open with his girlfriend Sheetal,But he is always ready to Save The India from The deadliest of Viruses & Threats of The Pirates, Rahul is a Mastermind Saviour! The Superb Talented Handsome Hunk Ashish Chowdhry as a debutante is excellent in The Role of a Young Brilliant Scientist Rahul Gupta. Previously Ashish has acted in many music videos like Asha Bhonsle's ''Na Marte Hum'' and also in several T.V serials & Did a Full Featured Tele Film Humko Ishq Ne Maara at The Tender Age Of 18 !,Ashish Chowdhry is Mindblowingly Goodlooking and His Voice & Dialogue Delivery is Marvellously Beyond Compare,Even a Dead Dialogue Becomes Alive when it has been Delivered by Ashish,He has The Victorious Star Potentials & can be successful Rulling Bollyw King in The Future!
2.Rachit(Ajay Devgan):Rachit,is a strong person who commits crime in a way,He takes drugs & he is very sad because he misses Sapna,his love!This was the person who was with terrorism but now,along with Rahul Gupta & Akram Sheikh will fight against terrorism!The city is under threat and Rachit will get the city out of this threat.Ajay Devgan As Rachit Looks Yuck In Beard But is good in Action scenes
3.Akram Sheikh(Suniel Shetty):Akram Sheikh is a C.B.I officer,who LOVES his country and wants it to get out of trouble.Ali,Abbas and Laila have smuggled in a deadly virus which can kill many people living in Mumbai but he will fight against the evil.Sunil Shetty as Akram Looks Quite Artificial & Awkward
4.Ali,Abbas and Laila(Arbaaz Khan,Sanjay Kapoor and Isha Koppikar):Ali,Abbas and Laila are the three main villains of the film and because of them the city is under threat!They've smuggled in a deadly virus which can endanger the lives of people living in Mumbai.They are the evil and the good(Rahul Gupta,Akram Sheikh and Rachit)will fight against this evil! Arbaaz Khan & Sanjay Kapoor R Average & Ishaa Koppikar is Sizzling In a negative role
5.Sheetal(Riya Sen):Sheetal is madly in love with Rahul and whenever she is alone at home she calls Rahul! Riya Sen as usual is unimpressive! But she isn't so irritating because her role is very brief!
6.Sapna(Neha Dhupia):Sapna,is Rachit's love interest,who now is not with Rachit due to circumstances.She is a simple girl who knows what LOVE really means!Neha Dhupia is OK but not much can be said about her performance because her voice was dubbed.
THE STORY:
Rahul Gupta Is a Master Mind Handsome Brilliant Young Scientist Who Wants To Make an Anti Virus/Anti Dode to Prevent The Deadly Virus Of Abbas Ali & Laila,Akram Sheikh is a person who loves his country and hires a criminal Rachit to help him fight against terrorism!Ali,Abbas and Laila are the ones who have got Mumbai under threat!They have smuggled in a deadly virus,which can kill many Mumbaikres!Not only,Mumbai but India is also under a great threat.This is all for the lust of power! What Will The Young Scientist Rahul Gupta, Akram Sheikh and Rachit do???
THE WORK OF THE CREW:
Harry Baweja's direction is amazing.He has handled every scene with sensitivity and has extracted good performances from everyone!He has made a very modern film for Bollywood and his extra effort can be seen throughout the film!Special effects are simply the best!I have never seen such amazing special effects in any Bollywood film ever.This film needs to be seen on the big screen.Screenplay is gripping where as the editing is loose,because the film drags at places.Nadeem-Shravan's music is nice and ''Woh Ladki Bahut Yaad Aati Hai'' "Title Track ''Dil Chura Liya'' are nice songs but "Yaar Pyaar Hogaya" is The Best Of All Cuz The Dazzling Hottest Handsome Ashish Chowdhry Is Sensationaly Wow in The Song
Final Verdict:
Qayamat is a well-made film and is worth a watch! Good Matrix Style Action Thriller With Good Songs Thrills Special Effects and Different sets like an Underground Tunnel,a jail and a Scientific Laboratory!, But The Genuine Soul Of The Movie is The Excellent Performance By The Highly Talented Handsome Supremo Ashish Chowdhry, Ashish is The Best & is Cut Above The Rest !
