Because of useless online youtubers, people who are equally fools are happily giving it a 1star without even watching the film. Just because Ahmed Khan is the producer doesn't mean this film has to be similar to Baaghi or Heropanti. I have seen the film and here is my true review.
The plot was known from the trailer. Om, who has a secret past, is assigned a mission to get hold of the people who are trying to sell off India' s nuclear bomb defense mechanism named "Kavach". What unfolds about Om , his past and the mission is the ultimate story.
Let's get the things sorted. This is a spy action thriller and not a cringy romantic action film like some Heropanti. The film definitely does take its plot seriously as i didn't notice cringe overacting or cringe romance in this film ( in fact there is no romance which is really good). The 1st half surprisingly was quite interesting while the 2nd half was okayish. Some interesting twists and turns at the end that definitely excited me .
Now since Ahmed Khan is the producer, it just cannot be that there is no Ahmed Khan touch at any point. It is the action sequences that have the same old Ahmed Khan touch. Over the top and sometimes even hilarious and this is what was not needed when they really had a proper spy thriller in hand. In fact if you see the opening action sequence on the ship, it is extremely poorly shot. It felt like 10-20 people on board a mini toy ship.
Some places logic goes for a toss. When Ashutosh Rana is shot in the back, what Om does is , instead of raising an alarm or hurry him to the hospital or even try finding who shot Ashutosh, Om simply hugs him and looks at him dead face and then carries him slowly into the house to show his mother how Ashutosh had bought him long ago. What utter nonsense!
There is one song that is placed so awkwardly in the film with title "Kala sha" whatever that means lol.
Then there are these typical cliched caricaturish foreign goons and their dialogue delivery is terrible. VFX used is bad as well (there's this one scene before interval that proved it and even before, the opening action sequence VFX was horrible).
Overall, I would say Ahmed Khan as a producer had a terrific chance to salvage himself with this film but he let me down again thanks to him adding his Midas touch to this otherwise what could have been a serious no nonsense spy thriller. Needed someone better to make or produce this film.
