Meetu’s Review: No ishtyle, No chaaram, no kewl action, no ROFL jhokes (1.5 LOLs, tho). Fitting it into a stereotype - a very 90-ish film!
Rating: Switch channels if it’s on cable!

Rajeev Masand, IBN Live …Tashan is what you’d describe as a road movie, but one that’s going in all the wrong directions…. See full review |
| Taran Adarsh, IndiaFM …Instead of coming to the point right away, what the writer does is makes you run in circles and circles…. See full review |
Savio Zacharia, Indiaglitz …The man who steals the show and elevates the film is none other than Akshay Kumar. Though he comes in much later on in the film, he impresses with immediate ease… See full review |
