Okay, folks! Itβs your favorite Bollywood reviewer, Review Rani, here to serve you a fresh platter of sarcasm with a side of wit. Letβs dive into this cinematic soup, shall we?
Meet Yudhra, the angry young man (played by Siddhant Chaturvedi) whoβs got more issues than a yearβs subscription of Vogue β daddy problems, anger management, and an inexplicable fondness for lizards. His face is as innocent as a newborn kitten, but donβt let that fool you. Our dear Yudhra can throw a punch like itβs nobodyβs business.
Our protagonist finds love in Nikhat (Malavika Mohanan), but alas! This momentary solace is soon overshadowed by his entanglement in a drug cartelβs shenanigans. The villains? Drug lord Firoz (Raj Arjun) and his son Shafiq (Raghav Juyal). Brace yourself for some over-the-top performances, folks. While Raj Arjun hams it up like itβs Thanksgiving, Raghav brings an eerie charm to the table.
Raniβs Take
A commendable point to note is the filmβs action sequences. A shoutout to action director Nick Powell, who seems to have sprinkled magic dust everywhere, making the scenes as gripping as a high-octane cricket match. A particular sequence involving a bicycle parkour is as nerve-wracking as watching a trapeze artist without a safety net.
But guess what? Despite its technical brilliance and raw action, the filmβs emotional quotient is as flat as a pancake. The story, much like an indecisive teenager, meanders. It builds momentum, promising a tantalizing twist, but fizzles out faster than a cheap firecracker.
Oh, the Irony
Director Ravi Udyawar attempts to use violence and action as a cinematic language. Itβs like heβs cooking a fancy dish, but forgot to season it. The characters are well baked, but the story lacks the spice. Siddhant and Malavika, look stunning, as if they walked straight out of a fashion magazine, but their chemistry is colder than an iceberg.
Raniβs Wrap-Up
In conclusion, Yudhra is like an over-enthusiastic puppy β it shows promise, runs around in circles, and then exhausts itself before the finish line. Itβs great to see Bollywood embracing action, but hey, emotions are not an optional topping, theyβre the base sauce!
And thatβs all, folks! Until the next cinematic disaster, this is Review Rani signing off with a wink and a smirk. ππ
