Forced comedy
25 April 2024
There wasn't any good acting from any actors. The comedy back than was okish, but if you watch it now you feel it's all just superficial, cringe, boring, forced and just doesn't have anything as a story itself to watch. The only thing which they tried so hard to shove it down was regional dialect and assuming that if we press it hard on that, people will laugh,that too for no reason. The story itself is forgettable. There isn't much to write too, I even don't remember if there is any song in that which was catchy or worth. Wonder how and when was the last time there was a genuine good comedy film which was brilliantly written.

It's like a black beauty mark on a black buffalo..
10 April 2024
Saw this after that second part came, just no different between these two movies. Just rubbish, nonsensical. It's like watching cattle eating plastic without any value of story, film making, music, acting, there is nothing. Even school kids would write better story and make films these days. I wonder what are they thinking to make such lowest grade films and even people are supporting this trash.. It's like I said, you feel there is black mark beauty and realize it's all full black buffalo sitting in gutter,chowing onto some plastic kind of full on trash film.

Guess what I even saw these people giving interviews as if they made some international value comedy film sort of pose show off they were making. I wonder what went wrong with people these days.

Seems like a polished version of Bhojpuri's B Grade film
10 April 2024
I don't see what's so hype for this C D grade movies. I mean what are people watching and supporting giving high rating for no logical, practical or even sensible reason. The acting is such a crass, cringe, disgusting by every actor. There is no story too, and I wonder what scriptwriter was doing. And who is producing this kind of movies and expecting to be like super hit I wonder.. People have weird tastes for sure, but this is terrible. Nothing in it to be considered even to give 2 or above, but I have 2 just because they made it and marketed it for rating to get to 7.. 7... seriously ? 7... Wonderful marketing for such nonsense film.

Food for thought: Clyde who made the bomb, holding it couldn't diffuse, and Nick kills him at the end is the justice?
22 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
As many said it , the story's throughout is great, and it did carry, but when the thing goes on wherein Nick becomes a kind of spy finding the hideout and than keeps the bomb for Clyde to diffuse. I was thinking, "is the Clyde the one who made the bomb, and one who made the bomb got to know how to diffuse it, or else what's the point of him being so exception. And even by pushing Nick as a hero, if he makes Clyde push the button and getting killed, it means he is backing the flawed legal and killing Clyde just to make sure he, his family is safe. I mean if Nick was so accepting his own mistake pushing Clyde to go this extreme, he should have killed himself along with Clyde too, in a way for self kill, like Samurai would do? How is Nick than becomes Legal and morally superior than Clyde?

He isn't. The hilarious part was Clyde was knowing the bomb will explode but for second never thinking to diffuse it. I mean if he diffused it, he could have easily come out too. This thing makes the film like too taking things for granted both for the two characters and story. And that hurts the film.

Other than that overall it was good.

A decent good film.
22 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Overall it's a decent film with incredible songs. The songs is what the film uplifts by large. Barring few most songs are fantastic. Acting is decent, and if it was under a different director's hand probably the emotions would have come out more powerful and presentation of the actors would have even enriched the film's success.

Overall the film is still today's times watchable, though the issue lies is the thin line between clearing who is the lead interested in. And this thing they could have taken more stronger hold and direction of the story to make it positive for the film, but somehow they let it loose too early.

Trying too hard to be intelligent, oversmartness, overthinking, unrealism destroyed the film
24 October 2023
The film hurt itself trying to do all those above but more the issue was of lack of authenticity. There is no genuine story at all. The film tries to chew a lot than its capable to digest. Sprinkled with forced non-linear story structure, convoluted false complexity to make it look serious which it didn't had any strong core or subject or substance but a ton load of fake style, grandiosity . Its a hotchpotch of ideas poorly made and executed.

There was no characterization of lead character or of any other characters played too, no genuine supporting role built or antagonist. You literally have no idea who are all and what they are and why they are there. It's just everyone including main character are all cardboard characters. Extremely superficial convoluted approach towards story writing and editing assuming that will make it click for non-linear caused it fail in all aspects as a film.

There was no empathy or care or concern or emotionally anchoring for any character or to the story. Filled with one exposition after another for fans and terrible film making purely banking on fan service, it's just painful to watch.

Its like the burning tanker in the film for no purpose, no intention and just show piece. May be that's the GHOST?

Needed major improvement in all departments, but like I said, trying too hard to be intelligent, over-smartness, overthinking to make it all look SO BRILLIANT , failed the film. Lead actor doesn't seem even in the character at all. Fact is there is the original character is even a trick, which even makes it so weak for what they trumpeted him to be. The whole team somehow fails the film it seems. It's sad, what they had the potential, it's just sad.

It's a terrible film
24 October 2023
I wonder how the writers, director even think this far to drag, convolute film on if a real character it is. Maturity isn't in saying film of real life character in epic way, its in presenting with genuine facts with realism so deeply researches which gives the world view of how the character goes through even when nothing major crime being shown on screen. But in this there is no emotional or empathy towards main or any character. Its quite disappointing film. Be it acting, music, action, direction, songs, anything you take, it fails miserably. Telugu film industry is far far miles away from good films if they pursue this path..

TOO MUCH STYLE over Substance backed by Fanaticism
23 October 2023
The original movie, "A History of Violence" had some purpose, character arc, but using that same story this one is so cheap version filled with overly stylized, glamorized, bombastic film filled with nonsensical plot points. I had a headache watching throughout of it.

Every actor did overacting it's so hard to watch, from Vijay , Trisha, the son character, Psycho, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Sarja, everyone had no organic feel to the story. Even the family bonding is so paper thin, cheesy. The action scenes are forced inclusion so are the deliberate fusion of UNIVERSE kind of nonsense they are doing in here. There is no purpose to the leader character as that of the original film. Like more than saving his family members it's more like "I NEED TO SHOW OFF" of how amazing I'm fighter or what not nonsense.

It's just terrible to watch. And it's a trend these days of over the top action following the likes of many Hollywood and even other trended PAN Indian religional films template following.

Just a "Look at me Im black and Im super advanced just like others" kind of movie
10 July 2023
The issue is with the identity propaganda American culture just seeped so deep in Hollywood, USA and West which reflects in movies like these. Like each one are trying to make one or other identity politics driven film for no real reason. Just look at me we too exist sort of low IQ desperation stupidity.. I mean they could have done lot better simply with the setup and accepting the real culture of Africans and not necessarily try super hard to be "Black Americans in Africa acting like Super humans". But they tried and its cringe fest in every scene. Same is gender this or that identity films.

Utter rubbish film.
28 January 2023
I wonder who gives money to movies like these. It's similar to movie where the hero loots a girl's family to get rich and manipulate to win the money and then waah.. What nonsense.. People watch these kind of movies and ruin their understanding of life, love, relationship, business. Such low IQ film. Guess what, this is Tamil's super hit film.. Really Super hit? What for? Why? What's there in this film? They deliberately push heroism to the character while he no where represents any hero character. I doubt about what people think going to watch nonsense movies like these. There is no story at all. Just dragging a simple situation to a whole nonsensical love story movie. Who made this superhit got too much money it seem.s.

Cringe sports , love fusion movie
6 January 2023
There is pointless sports angle and forced love story. Acting is decent, lead actor's acting is very terrible. Wonder who made him star hero as such. Nitya menon is savior, but making her act childish is so cringe. The whole is a cringe fest and wonder how it got 7 rating. The actor needs acting class and director needs better stories and filmmaking course. It's very immaturish to say the least and i'm only writing just to fill the gap with imdb, there is nothing genuinely good in the film to write about other than Nitya Menon. The sports angle is so pointless. The character has no maturity in anywhere.

Disgusting acting and storylne
20 August 2022
The actor himself seems terrible. Trying so hard to be hero and it just feels yuck. He makes this fake fake pout face to give a feel of jawline and it just cringe. His acting chops itself fails in every scene. He should seriously consider going for acting school. Story is below average, could have worked if actor just be himself normal without all that false wannabe hero mannerism.

Concept is good but acting and direction is terrible.
16 August 2022
The concept was good but execution was terrible. Siddharth acting is so bad that it's all over the top. Even every actor in this is so over the top. He is not action hero but they forced him to be one.

Terrible acting and movie
1 August 2022
I wonder how this actor gets movies. I mean, every film I have seen of his on TV are just terrible and his acting is so horrible. Even a side actor does a lot better acting. I don't get how come they keep casting him and pushing movies after movies. The whole film is just feels fake.

Very childish immaturish film
15 July 2022
The acting, storyline, everything seems over the top, childish, naive. The girls are unruly, misbehaved, and even the warden, teachers act so stupid to their antics. It feels like 10 year old wrote and made this film.

Below average film saved by Bromance acting
27 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Movie could have beeen good but it fails many ways in story

The biggest letdown was the story, second half, and some bits of misalignment of how the story is framed.

The story as in, they took both real-life characters and just didn't genuinely tell their life story or freedom struggle but it was more like, "Oh these two are characters exists who you can check it online, and we used one's character to show saving the tribal girl, and another to avenge the father's death more in the pretext of stockpiling the weapons to wage war against brits" that's it.

This can't be called a good story. I would give it 1 or 2 just for the story, not even 7. I mean after the first attack at the party, the Brit leader could have easily shot the girl to settle things. But he goes on punishing the Bheema who was caught, which seems illogical if you think of it. Brits would have killed both girl and him back then. They often just want to kill as many people without any mercy, which is a fact. This didn't align with the genuine story. Think of Sardar Uddham, they showed they were merciless and hardly cared about kids or anyone if they wanted to shoot, they just did it. Just like Nazis. So it kind of didn't give needed liking from the start.

Second half: The issue was, there is no setup of who Ajay was in the first place or his wife or those village army people he was training, and the one who was often seen with Ram to help him with his goals to get near weapons. I mean when they introduce Ram's character, they show him fighting with so many people to get one guy. The ferocity in which it's shown to fight all there just to get that guy, he could have simply killed the brits killed as they were short numbered and got the whole people's support charging them up to revolt and seeking their help to hide his identity and later can get the weapons. Why I'm saying this is, he does the same to Bheem and that time Bhim sings and makes every people raked up. It's still the same, isn't it?

And this makes Ram believe in Bheem's ability to lead as he could be more force, while he had a similar opportunity at the start freely given. Both these two situations don't equate to the necessary logic of fighting against brits when brits were so cornered.. And both times Brit nowhere had any stronger points to create havoc and the only thing they held was the girl, whom they could have easily killed in reality.

Framing of the story: I felt they should have started with Ajay being the older guy with young son Ram both fighting and it would have helped the second half making more thrilling effect.

Overall it's a decent movie, won't say good or best, but just a one-time popcorn masala watch. Even Alia, Shreya, Ajay, and Tamil actor were so underutilized. Their existence too was pointless in a way. It could have been a best-made film if they genuinely tried to tell the real-life story of the characters even if wanted to go over the top sure like Sai Ra Narasimha Reddy's style.

But what stood out and truly helped the movie was the performance of both Jnr NTR and Ramcharan, their bromance is the only thing which saved the movie-watching experience, I feel. It's not the story, it's their acting, a few good visuals. That's it.

Rating is between 5 and 6. It could have been 7 but I its not that great as people claim.

One of the dumbest illogical movie ever(First of all taking remake but have no idea of what makes story)
19 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
First you build a character of director who wants to make movie, sure good enough. Then she fools her own best friend Arshad Warsi, not giving the role in the script and than the whole emotions for a possible conflict is thrown away.

Then we build a story of Akshay Kumar, and even unnecessary love story, fuses story of Rangastalam movie's ending and fool him to make him be a caricature of his own personality.

And the director who makes movies, should be understanding character have no sensible understanding of how the gangster really is. Seriously!

The Kriti Senon as a Director got to be more dumb than whole people who have no ground reality situation.

They used 3 4 film's story from Tamil to Telugu's two different movies and made KACHARAA FILM.. It's seriously one of the stupiest film ever. There is seriously some problem with writer, direction.

15 December 2021
I do like Wes's movies and I think he can do more than the carefully placed stories, characters and pictures. I appreciate things which let stories have their own breathing space, let lose in its nature to feel the characters relatable and what we are watching be little less caricaturish!

Had a potential to be amazing, but terrible acting by few ruined it.
20 November 2021
All the leading woman characters screwed this film big time. Each one was acting trying hard to act classy, swag, edgy than being firm, stoic and gritty. And even Karthik was so terrible in giving sad expression when things go bad. It got good start but trying hard to make it look gritty forcibly, super cool Karthik as such, deliberate suspenseful, tensed situation seemed fake melodrama. Even though it's remake, in Korean, they had some genuine acting which makes the drama seems real. This seems fake acting and fake drama, done in studio setup itself.

Apart from Action, everything is just junk.
15 October 2021
The only thing which worked for this movie was Vidut's action scenes. Actress was horrible in her performance and her acting, her character was so cringe, melodramatic and dialogues were all so stupid making the love story is even more cliche, horrible.

The only thing which was ok to watch was action scenes which had all movies of Jackie Chan, Jet lee and many more referees being used ending with Mobi' music too.

Bad story and terrible acting..
21 September 2021
The child actor, all the actors from the side of Mexican side were terrible, horrendous and nonsensical. Clint really needs some writers who give him good scripts to show his direction and acting. And some genuine mexican casting team to help with getting good actors.

The story seems pointless. Its not Hero's journey please. Let people write stories rather than tell them use this dumb 3act or Hero journey formula to write stories. It's so stupid now.

Story is muddled, acting was ok, Overall a decent film which tries to speak volumes
19 June 2021
The story kind of doesn't have that core as they tried to bring too many things to show and it becomes overload to justify anything at the end. They wanted to show the bureaucratic issues, political issues, Vidya's family wrapped with slight bit of drama there, and conservative vs sustainable and many more. They kind of tried to everything and sort of at the end didn't have much to speak but let it be as it is end.

Even Vidya's acting is bit average as she has done this kind of roles before and nothing much difference you can see. I would have given it 6 because only thing that pushes the story is "one more death" with all layers want to pounce on the situation as it's not that bad intent but it kind of doesn't hold the steam.

Overall decent movie.
