Well, well, well. Here we are again, my Bollywood crazed darlings, with yet another flick trying to save the day, and the country, with a sprinkle of patriotism and a dash of tech-wizardry. This time itβs a power-packed duo, Captain Rocky (Akshay Kumar) and Captain Freddy (Tiger Shroff), who are our saving grace from an impending techno-doom. Hi, itβs Review Rani reporting for duty!
Our two musclemen, Rocky and Freddy, are the armyβs prized possessions; brave, honest, and so patriotic they practically bleed saffron, white, and green. Theyβre a bit like rebellious teenagers, too, with their maverick ways. But when Mother India is in danger, who else but these two loose cannons to entrust the fate of the nation?
Enter the tech-savvy villain, whoβs all set to unleash an AI apocalypse that could plunge our beloved country into a high-tech war and reduce our defence and financial capabilities to rubble. A ticking time bomb scenario if there ever was one.
The film, which Iβve affectionately nicknamed βBade Miyan, Tech-Savvy Miyanβ, sets the stakes high right from the get-go. Director Ali Abbas Zafar does a commendable job building up the suspense, much like a kid stacking blocks, waiting for it all to come crashing down. The first half of the film is a whirlwind of action, cheesy humour and some good olβ banter between our leading men.
Akshay and Tigerβs on-screen chemistry is undeniable, with jibes flying around left, right and centre. Tiger, with his brooding good looks and a body thatβs a work of art, holds his own against the veteran actor. And not to be outdone, our leading ladies, Manushi Chiller and Alaya F, pack a punch too, proving theyβre more than just pretty faces.
Unfortunately, the second half doesnβt quite live up to the first. You see, in Bollywood, logic often takes a backseat, and βBade Miyan, Tech-Savvy Miyanβ is no exception. A complex geopolitical crisis is resolved with the ease of solving a jigsaw puzzle, and the patriotic lines come fast and hard, much like the action scenes.
However, the filmβs saving grace is its relentless action, innovative stunts and a musical score that will have you tapping your feet. The cinematography is top-notch, capturing the tension and scale of a war-like situation. While the excessive use of computer graphics might be a bit much for some, it does add a dash of drama to the action sequences.
In the end, βBade Miyan, Tech-Savvy Miyanβ delivers an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster ride, complete with action, humour and just a hint of romance. So, if youβre in the mood for some patriotic action and donβt mind suspending your disbelief, this might just be the film for you.
Raniβs Wrap-Up: βBade Miyan, Tech-Savvy Miyanβ β A high-octane action flick thatβs a Bolly-good time if you can check your logic at the door. ππΏπ¬
