I must admit I wished Blast landed its punches more cleanly in its third act, but when this family goes Hum Saath Saath Hain in decimating the bad guys, it is hard not to cheer along.

It’s a cool new way to say the same old thing, but at least we all have fun in the process.

Powered by an engaging Preity Mukhundhan, a dependable Arjun and a filmmaker who clearly enjoys spending time with these characters, Blast delivers exactly what it promises: a fun, energetic entertainer with plenty of heart.

...Blast is a Preity Mukundhan show all along, and the Star-actor knows how to pack a punch, alright! In a different film, where more ingenious ideas are spring-loaded for mass elevations, Blast would have truly become her career-defining big bang.
