Ayushmann - Powerful Performance, Ayushmann Khurana Choose Something different kinda story. (fresh one)
Jaideep Ahlawat - fine performance, delivers his best.
Even if there were no songs in this film, it would have worked.
A different storyline and perfect performance by both lead actors ayushmann khurana and Jaideep Ahlawat.
Every scene has been played very well, it was not very long, that's why it was better.
Story Twists and Turns are fitted perfectly with a Good Action Sequences and Cinematography.
Just because of Both Lead Actors it's a Entertaining Movie.
It's a Worth Weekend Watch.

Now this is a good movie. Aayushmann Khurana was good in it, Jaideep Alahawat was good. The cinematography and locations were high quality. The BGM was still playing in my head after watching this film. It was bomb! But why did this film bomb? It's unfortunate that a film like this failed so badly at the BO. It's one of the better films in a line of bad films and remakes from Bolly in the year 2022.
The marketing team behind this should be avoided for future projects at all costs. Absolute bunch of clowns who let such a good film go unnoticed by the public.
It's tense, it's gripping, well directed, beautifully filmed and most importantly it is fresh. It pains to see good films fail and mediocre affairs *Cough* BB2 *Cough*, *Cough* D2 *Cough* become super hit.

Ayushman Khurrana delivers what he promises! Dont know why this movie not worked on the Box Office. Had the film came from South Industry, people would have made it a huge Block Buster
+ves : The plot of the film is really unique and fresh. Acting performances is really good. Ayushman really looked like an action hero. Jaideep Ahlawat really steals the show with his performance as usual. Music is average. BGM was good. Dialogues were brilliantly written especially that comic punches between serious scenes. Dark Humour was used brilliantly.
-ves : Screenplay was a bit off. It could have been much better & crisp especially in the first half. Action scenes could have been much better.
To conclude, its a good movie with some unique storyline. You should definitely give it a try. It wont disappoint you.

The movie is meta and treats a serious element in a humorous way. The villain is hell bent to kill our action hero for revenge. The screenplay is meta and it starts with the hero unable to get angry. He even says the audience want -"an angry young man". And, the ending was just spot on.
The reasons for the screenplay sequence look filmsy and unbelievable. It gets boring at places and you have no idea where this movie is heading to. Though we have a great ending, it did not save the day for this picture.
The music score is too good and rap portions keep you engaged. But it could have been better!!

I saw - An action hero, in the theatre. The movie was definitely engaging, but it is not a visual spectacle or stunning by any means to warrant a theatre watch. It would be a good OTT movie. So, for people thinking about watching it, I would suggest to wait for an OTT release.
I felt the movie had a Guy Ritchie feel to it, with all the gangesters and the black comedy. And it was pretty well executed as well. I am fully willing to let go of logic etc. In an action movie, IF, the characters and the plot is engaging enough. The problem with this movie is that both are very loosely written and shot. So, a lot of the idiosyncrasies, black comedy, lack of logic etc. Don't work at all since other than Ayushmann's character, you don't have a connection, feel or bond towards another character. This is a major drawback of the movie. Ayushmann has done well, the rest of the cast is pretty so so. Not a lot of laugh out moments, but it is an engaging movie and a timepass watch.
