Vedaa

Seems highly influenced by Riders of Justice! At least have the heart to acknowledge even if it's a weak copy! Must commend the attempt and making it contextual to the region in its storyline. The fight sequences could have been more believable if they had consulted an armed forces Commando.

The irony in the story of the enemy within is palpable. We need a pragmatic, workable and commercially viable solution to root out castism and racial inequality from human society.

The idea of a powerful and relatively uncorrupt judiciary is the holy grail of uplifting contemporary society from the depths of filth to relative utopia.

I like to watch John's action movies. He his best at doing actions if we don't talk about Tiger and Vidyut, the Martial artists. But Nikhil Advani also disappointed. John Abraham seems having less expressions in many scenes. Actually John has limited acting range. Only Yash Chopra could make John act like a pro in his movies like Dhoom, Newyork, Pathaan etc. But in nearly all movies his acting and dialogue delivery suck! But in some scenes his acting seems very subtle. But definitely his acting range is limited. (Though better than some over actors like Varun Dhawan).

Now Nikhil Advani again is culprit. Story was very over the top! If action was meant to be over the top it was fine but story was also very hard to digest. In a scene.. the goons attack John and John gets unconscious. They catch John and Sharvari that is OK. But they leave her father and uncle? 😅. What was that? In many scenes dialogues and monologues seem very outdated and boring. Nikhil Advani is the one who made D- Day and Batla House.. both the amazing movies. But this time he disappointed Ashish Vidyarthi was wasted in the movie. He did nothing in the movie. Any other actor could have given that casual performance.

Now coming to the positive points.. John as an action hero was very good. He seems strong and actions really suits him. Abhishek Banerjee was at his best. He did more than what I expected. Abhishek's acting uplifted the whole movie. Now the strongest point was Sharvari's acting. In every scene... she meant business! She was fabulous. After so many years I watched a truly commendable acting. In every situation she acted like a very talented actor. Want to watch more of her works in future.

Movie is somewhat lengthy but you don't feel the length because it is definitely engaging. I have highlighted some flaws in it. But this is definitely a one time watch!

All the best to John for his upcoming projects. But this was definitely not among his best works.

The movie sets out with the intention of being a serious drama, aiming to shed light on issues of class inequality and the struggle to protect the innocent from oppression. It has all the elements of a compelling story that could provoke thought and stir emotions. However, the execution veers drastically off course, transforming what should have been a powerful narrative into an unintended parody.

From the very beginning, the film's dialogue and direction betray its dramatic intentions. The focus quickly shifts to showcasing the hero as an almost cartoonish figure, capable of dodging hundreds of bullets with ease. This portrayal not only strains credibility but also trivializes the very issues the movie is supposed to highlight. Instead of a tense, realistic exploration of social injustice, we are presented with a protagonist who seems invincible to the point of absurdity.

As a result, the film's initial promise is lost, and what could have been a meaningful commentary on class struggles turns into a spectacle of exaggerated heroics. The serious themes are overshadowed by the outlandish action sequences, and the film ultimately fails to resonate on the emotional or intellectual levels it aspired to. In the end, it's hard to take the movie seriously, as it devolves from a potentially impactful drama into something more akin to a farcical action flick.

This movie had a great start and actually has you engaged up until the intermission. After that point it just seems like either the director changed or was totally confused and lost. The last 20-30 minutes were not needed and a waste of time. The message was clear and had good meaning but executed badly after the intermission.

Acting is decent by Sharavari and okay by the villain. John was good as he did justice to the role and action sequences. Too many songs, although I liked the Holi one, they were not needed. If the movie continued into with the 2nd half as it did in the first I would've given this a 9 star.

Living in an Independent India, not being able to understand how certain castes live, this movie is an eye opener and, a true form of art executed by John Abraham and the team. I thank the entire team on working on such a brilliant Indian movie after ages.
