Shivaraj Kumar's brilliance in action and song sequences is certain to please his fans.Genelia looks cute and stylish in the songs.

Puneet's characterisation and his appeal make Bindaas a compulsory double viewing for his fans. Good fights and music are the major attractions in this film which offers an age old story and haphazard script. Hansika's beauty rocks in the film.
