it can't possibly be that bad, could it? or is there some sort of bias against this film to begin with?

It actually
is bad, plain and simple. No bias against the movie.
Watch it without comparison to the original, and you'll see a half-baked amateurish B-grade effort.
Watch it in comparison to the original, and you'll grieve.
And no, don't expect any miracle in the theatres a couple of weeks down the line, like what happened for the original.
I am a hopeless lover of the medium and find it extremely difficult to criticize any movie - you can see from my earlier post that I even went to watch it yesterday - but RGV has betrayed me and several like me.

As a remake, it's probably the biggest embarrassment in the history of cinema.
As a film in its own right, it's probably amongst the 10 crappiest ever.
It's out of its depth and is truly Ram Gopal Verma Ki SHALLOW
Saving grace? The Mehbooba number which is picturized and presented very well.
Biggest irritants:
1. Everything is so rushed -- even then the length seems intolerably long.
2. Amitabh's pure white teeth don't gel with his getup -- yes, he's hammed to glory and is more of a caricature.
Guys, this is not a Sholay remake or even a copy -- It's actually a parody.
No, it's not a metro-take on the great movie, it's a "chawl" version -- there's simply no sense of scope and scape.
The movie shocks for all the wrong reasons. What trash!
Even Duplicate Sholay was better. Even Anil-Jackie's Andar Bahar was more entertaining.

My brother was telling me he tried to go and watch it at the Bradford Cineworld but was turned away as the late showing had been cancelled because they had only got a single print of the movie

Your brother's actually lucky
