# Aryabhatt Ka Zero: A film that goes nowhere 2026-08-08T10:55:56+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Aryabhatt Ka Zero, directed by Kamal Chandra, has received a 2-star rating from Hindustan Times. The film follows Baggu (Himansh Kohli), a directionless young man who decides to crack the UPSC exam after his girlfriend marries an SDM. The plot, however, abandons this premise midway and ends with a sudden, anti-climactic twist that suggests success has little to do with hard work. Himansh Kohli's performance is described as hit-and-miss, lacking energy. Ravi Kishan and Shilpa Shinde have limited screen time, while Neeraj Sood as Baggu's father stands out. The cinematography by Yogesh Jani is praised for capturing Delhi and the hills, but the screenplay and music by Manan Bhardwaj fail to impress. The film leaves the viewer with neither inspiration nor entertainment. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Aryabhatt Ka Zero, Bollywood, Himansh Kohli, movie review, Ravi Kishan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/aryabhatt-ka-zero-a-film-that-goes-nowhere/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
