Force

Force directed by Nishikant Kamath is entertaining! The movie has a medium-paced first-half and a solid second half.

The movie is a remake of Tamil-hit Kaakha Kaakha.

Story:- Critically wounded and lying unconscious in a Mumbai hospital, ACP Yashvardhan(John Abraham) of the Narcotics Control Bureau reflects on his life and his love-affair with Maya(Genelia D Souza). With the assistance of the Commissioner as well as his colleagues, Atul(Mohnish Bahl), Kamlesh (Kamlesh Sawant) and Mahesh Pandey, and an informer, Arvind Shetty, he was able to apprehend drug-dealers in Kutch, Gujarat; Jalandhar, Punjab, as well as in Himachal Pradesh. Unknowingly, he paved the way for Vasu Anna Reddy(Mukesh Rishi) to become the sole drug-dealer and invite his Mombasa-based brother, Vishnu (Vidyut Jamwal), to join him. An encounter with the team kills Vasu, and some of the team gets suspended. A vengeful Vishnu decides to target the entire police unit as well as their respective families, and vows that he will not rest until he has killed them all. He starts with brutally killing Mahesh and his wife, Rachna, and then abducts Atul's wife, Swati - with a motive of forcing the former to do away with the remainder of this police team.

The story is similar to those of RGV-crime movies.

The direction is fine.

The music is plain.

The action is top-notch.In fact,the movie gets quite violent especially towards the end.

The dialogs are well-worded.

Performances:- John Abraham is excellent.Debutant Vidyut Jamwal steals the show with his splendid performance.Genelia D Souza is fine.Mohnish Bahl and Mukesh Rishi are good in their respective roles.Sandhya Mridul is perfect.Kamlesh Sawant is funny.

On the whole FORCE is a one-time watch!

This film is inspired by the Surya starrer "Kaakha kaakha", and the film definitely goes along those lines. But it lacks the same intensity and punch that Kaakha Kaakha had.

Story is about an NCB cop who gets targeted by a psychic but efficient drug lord, who tries to terrorize the cop and his colleagues and their loved ones for revenge.

The film is too fast moving, from action to love to drama, as though the makers had limited time and they were trying to fast forward the Tamil version. Some scenes are bogus, songs are not at all melodious, not even Khwaabon Khwaabon, which is the only track that is dubbed from the Tamil film. They have not copied it 100 % ditto; there are variations between both films, but this is somewhat bogus.

Some action scenes are noteworthy, and the storyline is good(but of course it's not authentic!). Vidyut Jamal's acting is noteworthy.

You can watch Force, but you are better off watching Kaakha Kaakha instead.

Yes that's true. This movie unexpectedly does really well.

My expectation before watching the movie (from Rumors & storyline): May be the effect of Dabangg or Bodyguard, I was expecting lots of South kind of action.

But when I watch the movie, no scene was extreme, really thanks for the action director for not making it south like. & When you have muscular hero & villain, u can expect lots of action between them.

OK as usual, lets start with review.

Why to see: Story: Though a kind of regular story, but good direction makes it watchable. Action: Good & watchable action, no dabangg & bodyguard ! John's acting: For the first time I like John's ACTING, & truly he scores !

Why not: Nothing that wrong with the movie. so u can watch it.

Bare: Genelia's acting, those who like/love her, can ignore this.

Of late I have enjoyed the slew of action films coming out from Bollywood, especially the cop ones thanks to Salman Khan's highly successful Dabangg that had energized the genre and allowed the likes of Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn and now John Abraham to follow suit in playing no nonsense tough cops who talk with their guns and fists and do not hesitate meeting fire with fire against their villains. Sure you will raise your eyebrows at the tactics and techniques used, but while some of the earlier films had a tinge of exaggeration in their action sequences, Force was all serious.

John Abraham stars as the hulking giant ACP Yash of the narcotics bureau who had spent the most parts of his life undercover and busting drug lords and their syndicates. We see how, without the baggage of close friends and family, he gets to do what he does best since there's pretty much nothing anyone can do to find an emotional sweet spot in which to exploit the inherent weakness of man when he has a loved one or family to look after. That status quo changes when he meets with Maya (Genelia D'Souza) with whom he starts off on the wrong foot with, but slowly but surely it took them an entire half of a film before the intermission to fall in love.

Which dragged out the first half as it tried extremely hard to balance the romantic moments, and that of the action ones with ACP Yash assembling his own crack team of buddies to go after the major drug lords in the city, before realizing that they were indirectly helping the meanest drug syndicate of them all, run by the maniacal Vishnu (Vidyut Jamwal) to re-enter the market and become the de-facto monopoly on illicit drug supplies since there's essentially no competition. And as a pre-emptive strike, Vishnu comes up with plans to rid Yash and his men with family and loved ones no longer being sacred and untouchable as he goes all out to get even.

Told largely in a flashback nature since the film opens with Yash being busted out of a window fighting for dear life before being rushed to hospital, Force came off as a mixed bag, while at times trying to be gritty and cold, but let down by a rather clunky delivery especially during emotional scenes which were implausible to have happened, especially the final scene involving Yash, Maya and Vishnu, with the audience made to wonder where Vishnu is and what he was doing while waiting for the lovers to say what they needed to say.

John Abraham with mean tattoo, shades and attitude was probably the only reason to watch Force, a remake of the Tamil movie Kaakha Kaakha directed by Nishikanth Kamath. Here his buffed body naturally becomes the talk of the town as there were many engineered scenes where he just had to take his top off, and the final battle was somewhat like a hats off to Salman Khan in any typical action role were valid reasons to become shirtless was almost always due to the villain. Genelia D'Souza role as Maya was basically to look good and provide justification why ACP Yash would choose to plunge headlong into a relationship when he was already married to his job, and their romance really took its own sweet time to simmer, and Vidyut Jamwal could only do so much given his limited screen time, only managing to reinforce he's such a badass every time he chooses to exercise punishment on the cops.

Force had lacked what its contemporaries in the genre had - plenty of fun, and a unique gimmick for a selling point. It had taken itself way too seriously, and with only its production rumour of John Abraham really marrying Genelia D'Souza on set no thanks to the actual rites being chanted and followed, may bring in the crowds and put bums on seats. A pretty bland effort overall, which is a pity since the tough cop genre had built up a strong momentum only for Force to actually deliver a whimper and derail that effort.

Contrite, clichéd, awful.. Same old "Once Upon a time there was a security personnel" theme.. The cast seemed to be an interesting mix of talent and has-been.. John was Good, Genelia below average but the débutant Vidyut Jamwal was Outstanding ..The only good thing about this movie is probably the stunts ..It was clean but then again at times monotonous.

Anyway, in summary, don't think that it's so bad it'll be entertaining, because it isn't (if you want something like that, try 'Dumb Maaro Dumb')It's horrific to the point of disbelief, whilst remaining incredibly dull throughout.
