We all know what to expect when we start to watch a Vidyut movie. He and Tiger are the two best action stars right now. He is acrobatic, does his own stunts, performs high octane action with finesse. But forget all of that. Because here he's to show you his acting range. As a romantic lead and desperate husband. I would say he excels at both. I liked him more when he was desperate, frustrated and hopeless. Very believable.
But there is another star at show here and that is ever lovable Annu Kapoor. I don't know why I like his screen presence a lot. He plays a very likeable always helping Pathan. He isn't given much to do other than helping Vidyut, but he still manages to leave a mark.
Watch this movie for these two.
What doesn't work is the story. We have seen rescue and revenge stories a lot of times. Although this one tries to be more realistic and the hero does not beat up 50 guys at once, he fails and falters but there are so many convenient things happening to him without explanation. Script writers try to grab a branch and you'd hope to find a fruit there but there isn't one. It's just a branch. The thrills don't work except for the one in brothel and the ending was so unsatisfying. After all the journey you would hope to get a closure between our two romantic lead who you spend first half n hour build their character and relationship. But they leave you dry in the end.
The music didn't work for me either. But some people might like. The cinematography is top notch. Set design although good, doesn't look lived in. Everything is brand new, the props, carpets, walls, curtains everything is spotless.
I haven't seen Shivaleeka Oberoi anywhere else and she isn't given anything to do here other than fall in love with the hero and get rescued. I hope she gets more screen time in her next project and works harder.
All in all, recommended for one time watch. A strict 6/10 bonus 2 stars for my man Vidyut. You should all subscribe to his YouTube channels he is doing such a good job there.
