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.
