The utter stupidity being incarnated from what could have been the origin of one fantastic characters own trilogy is just disappointing. The movie lacks story, plot, logic, physics and meaning.

Don't get me wrong, now the movie started off brilliantly, in a brief scene building up a revenge story. Not wasting too much time on the cause, the narrative is quickly shifted towards the protagonist who is given great reason to go against some restrictions he had kept for himself.

The movie definitely seems to have taken inspiration from John Wick, but had enough going to make it seem original.

The dialogues were just brilliant and delivered with such grace and emotion. The actors did a great job as well, perfectly portraying the intended emotion per scene and kewpie invested. Even the cinematography was fantastic for some scenes. Where the movie went for a toss however was when the director of the movie decided to direct the movie. Good lord, there were soo many slow motion scenes in the movie, you could watch the movie in 4x speed and still not miss a thing. Unrealistic scenarios were the biggest problem. The director just did not know how to stitch scenes and make sense of a situation. This led to characters resorting to random actions and sequences just so that the story could make sense. You start wondering how a character is teleporting to various areas just for the convenience of the plot.

The antagonist had countless opportunities to kill the hero, but of course he wouldn't given the impenetrable plot armour of the hero. I could narrate each scene which anchored my interest, but that would be me telling the whole story... Would only recommend the movie to witness some great acting by Manoj, otherwise...

This movie is a wake up call to all those who keep dreaming and hope to create something yet sway these thoughts away with excuses. This was a great introduction to the three characters who are supposedly the ones who will commence the creation of the Indian superheroes. The selection of shots was stupendous with some great fight choreographies. The slow build up of characters and subtle reveals of intentions help create great cliffhangers for the movies to follow. The acting as well as the plot build up did enough justice to have me hooked and anticipate the next in the serious.

Where I did feel some improvement could be managed is with the sound production and dialogues. There were some dialogues which seemed a little forced and unfitting for the situation and at some intervals a little cliche. Even the sound was a bit distracting at times (for eg: two actors in the same room standing mere inches from on another have totally different echoes) Though, for a zero budget production, this can be overlooked.

Overall, an enjoyable watch with a lot of expectations!

Credit is due where essential. The concept for this movie was just phenomenal. Where the movie however lost me was how weak the plot was. There were just too many loopholes which kept me critiquing the parents the entire time distracting me, and making the villain seem less menacing. If the conditions were such that the parents were helpless, the movie would have gripped me by the throat, but such was not the case.

Acting wise, just phenomenal work. You can see the range by each character, especially Janki (Jhanvi). A lot of thought was given to the direction of the shots, cinematography, sound production and music selection.

It's definitely a great one time watch, but a lot could be done to reduce the torture time and make it seem more inescapable. Otherwise, a definite recommendation...
