MILD SPOILERS AHEAD.
The trailer branded Sooryavanshi as some Avengers kind of ensemble film. To be frank, the other two cops don't show up until the end of the second act. So, this is Akshay Kumar's movie all the way. I do wish that you could have hired someone else instead of Katrina Kaif because she still hasn't grasped acting. All she does is pout, glare and dance in the rain in a skimpy sari.
The last 30 minutes were not only action-packed but incredibly funny too. I love self-referential humour and there's a lot of it when the three characters get together.
I am staggered by Rohit Shetty's attempts to unpack terrorism as he clearly doesn't understand the concept. There's a scene where Akshay and a terrorist have a battle of words that's essentially:
"Why did you kill all those people." "Well, they killed my family" "Yeah, but you killed many families in return."
Dude, Rohit, you can't simply put terrorism as they killed my family, so I killed them back. That's petty vengeance. Terrorism is a much bigger monster. But, then again, this is the guy who made Dilwale. So, I shouldn't really complain.
All in all, the action's pretty good. The sound is pretty loud. The plot takes a lot of time to get settled. And, Ranveer is effortlessly funny in the third act. So, that's Sooryavanshi for you. I'll definitely watch if Rohit does a proper ensemble movie but I'll wait for it to come out on Netflix or Prime.
