Wild Dog

#sanjuzzreviews

Based on actual incidents, this film tells the story of our unsung heroes who, keep their anonymity under wraps, while still defending our country selflessly.

Wild Dog is about how our NIA bravehearts carried out a daring covert operation to nab Yasin Bhatkal from Nepal.

It starts off with the German Bakery blasts in Pune ( all names changed in the film) and how a team of NIA agents lead by Nagarjuna try to locate the perpetrators of this heinous terrorist activity.

After a couple of near misses where the target manages to give them a slip, they finally land up in Nepal based on a tipoff. How they manage to nab him and get him back to India forms the crux of the plot.

This is Nagarjuna's film all the way. At his age Nagarjuna looks extremely fit to play the part of the protagonist & carries the entire weight of the film on his shoulders. Saiyami Kher & Atul Kulkarni play their part decently.

Slick editing, engaging storyline and rivetting action scenes make it a decent watch.

Similar to Akshay Kumar's Baby, but a little low on the tense adrenaline rush moment's that kept us on the edge of our seats.

Adios🙂

Performance and some scenes are the only positives in this film. The film is less engaging because of its story. Without any story the film extends the movie and that to at the end almost like half an hour is wasted for showing how the team is crossing the border and that part is very less engaging as it is very much predictable. As an action thriller with this kind of story must deal with a lot of action scenes, but they did not show much action scenes. While watching this movie personally I never came into a seat edge experience like 'Uri : the surgical strike' or 'Raid Redemption'. The film could have been better be more interesting plot and with more action scenes. That's it for this film. One time watchable, can try if your bored. Available on Netflix.

Wild Dog is not new in terms of story, you may have seen this story in many films like Baby, Phantom, also in Family Man. This film also falls under the same genre.

No over the top scenes are there, it fully focused on it's story. Screenplay is very fast and engaging specially in the 2nd half. That's why you'll not get bored while watching.

Some scenes shines very well specially one FOLLOWING scene is there, that is executed exceptionally.

Ashishor Solomon in his debut feature has done a brilliant job. The lead character is not shown in a heroic way. They've tried to show us everything in a very real way. We all know it's a patriotic film but patriotism is not shown by pointing out our eyes, that's another positive thing of this film. It's a very well researched film, so I think you should watch Wild Dog for it's DETAILING.

Available on Netflix.

This movie is a one time watchable flick. Plot is similar to some movies we already watched. So this not that impressive. If you have lot of free time, you can worth a watch.

6/10 Adarsh K.

Despite the 2 hr duration, the film is bit slow but it has definitely a good content. No nonsense and no deviations in the plot. Some similarities with Uri & Baby films. Climax is very engaging and amazing action sequences. Overall a decent comeback from Nag after Devadas. We are not good with numbers. Given the low budget involved and apart from Nag, the rest all cast is almost new, so remuneration costs will also be less, and having the pre Netfix deal in hand, we think Wild Dog would end up as a profitable venture.
