The Ghost

Just watched The Ghost on Netflix and I must tell that it is not-so-bad but decent action-packed entertainer for action movie lovers with power-packed action sequences and performances being the highlight of the film.

After a decent family outing 'Bangarraju' and fantasy film 'Brahmastra', Nagarjuna is back in his beast mode like the actor's previous movie 'Shiva' and Keanu Reeves's 'John Wick' and has brought out acting chops well. His fans would really like his intense mode in the film. Sonal Chauhan's role is not typical and is superb in action sequences. Watch her killing mode in the climax sword fight. Gul Palang did her best in her role as a businesswoman-cum-caring mother and 'Yennai Arindhaal' Anikha Surendran also did well in her role. Other actors like Ravi Varma, Srikanth Iyengar and Manish Chaudhari also did well in their roles.

The film's action sequences are the plus points of the film as they are well choreographed by Dilip Subbarayan and Kecha Khampadkee, and provides thrills. Music by Bharatt-Saurabh is forgettable snd unnecessary for a violent action film, but the background score by Mark. K. Robin is superb. Cinematography and editing helps the film and is good. Now Coming to director Praveen Sattaru, he has done a superb job by showcasing Nagarjuna in a stylish way and deserves mention for the action sequences. However, the antagonist characterization is weak and emotional weight is not effective. If the director would have taken care of these things, then it would have been converted into a franchise like John Wick.

Barring all these things, The Ghost can be enjoyed with its cast performances, action sequences and background score, but the antagonist characterization, emotional weight has spoilt it. Overall, this is a review from a normal-audience movie junk and watch this action packed-entertainer on Netflix with decent expectations for action film lovers.

I was browsing Netflix just as this movie was released decided to settle for it as I love south indian movies.

Nagarjuna is known for style and action but he couldnt save this weak script. The movie had taken bits from John Wick, Taken and some other Liam Neeson movies.

At times you can tell Nagarjuna is standing in front of a green screen.

Overall production value was good but the plot was full of loopholes, the whole underworld is afraid of one man is rather far fetched, but then again you gotta turn off logic to enjoy the movie.

The premise was really good but very weak delivery.

I have given up on bollywood a long time ago, I hope south cinema doesnt start going in same direction with such movies.

Couldn't understand a single logical making of this movie. It seems movie was made after signing of the movie and story was changed multiple times while making it.

Nagarjuna Akkineni, is not an ordinary actor, having some very famous movies under his belt, but this one was perhaps the poorest of all. The first half of the movie is complete stupid, with utmost horrible action scene. Since when terrorist are trading in the middle of a desert with no cover around and having tents. Any one with a BB gun could have simply a duck hunt.

Then there is another part of the movie and then merging it to the first.

All the above sounds ridiculous?

Imagine how the movie would be.

Ignore it.

I always look for these kind of genres which are rare. Praveen tried to make a slick action thriller, he wants to do something like Hollywood movies like John wick, man on fire.

Background score is okay.

Nag is terrific and so doesn't other actors.

Only problem is that Praveen couldn't make a proper script. Action is good but Nag never had problem. He killed everyone with ease, never got connected to emotions. A good opportunity goes wasted. Praveen sattaru can definitely make a better movie, his approach towards story is not good but we can laud his idea of filmmakingz

We can appreciate the attempt but fall short A glossy costly flop but a part of me appreciates the attempt.

Nagarjuna's The Ghost movie is just ok with too much buildup for nothing and little bit John Wick Vibes with Man of Fire template.

BGM 🔥 with unnecessary songs & Nag looks could have been far better, No complaints but looks weak and disinterested

Actress part was limited to certain section but still better than many films, Nag was not so good im not sure he was settling with easy scenes and execution. I see the scale imagined was really great, shooting across 5 countries one would imagine high stakes and scenes but all scenes are just ordinary.

Director/Writer should have worked together to bring some freshness in script and scenes. This movie lacks wow moment for such a Badass Title.
