Just watch An Action Hero on OTT- mainly for Jaideep Ahlawat. Was underwhelmed because of how little I cared for the characters.
Ayushman's character was not clear at all - no depth nor consistency - was he a narcissist who believed his own myth or a guy who is good deep inside but caught in a bad situation - the writer/director wanted to have it both ways and that I believed unravelled the film. It would have been a superb film if we got to see a narcissistic "villain" movie hero versus real life villain/don.
Jaideep's character was unidimensional and such a waste of talent.
Ending would have landed like a bomb if they had leaned into "the action hero" being a real life villain. If that was what they were trying they failed.
