Drive is honestly one of the most incompetent films I have ever seen. Whilst it is terrible on every single level, I enjoyed this film because of that.
Drive follows a group of street racers that decide to commit a heist and along the way face deceit and betrayal.
I can't deny how much fun I had watching this film. Everything is executed in the worst way possible that I couldn't contain my laughter. It's baffling to see a movie like this being made. Before Drive came out, I was actually excited about but the constant delays really made me worry. Then the trailer came out and it had some of the worst VFX work ever. The (un)finished product had the same problem. I don't understand why they decided to use visual effects for the chase scenes rather than doing it practically. IT LOOKS INCREDIBLY BAD!!! The film also has extremely obnoxious editing. The cutting and scene transitions were trying to make it look stylish but to me, it shows how inept the editor was.
The film is written and directed by Tarun Mansukhani, who previously made Dostana. Dostana was nowhere near perfection but at least it wasn't as stupid as Drive. I don't know what he was thinking because the story is simply atrocious. This film is trying to act as if it's extremely clever but it's not at the slightest. There are many twists and turns which get tiresome and make no sense. Not only that, Drive has the most random song placements in a Bollywood film. There is this whole montage where the main characters go to Israel for absolutely no reason. They could have taken out that whole part from the film and it would have made no difference.
It's also surprising to see the amount of talent on-screen being wasted. I like Sushant Singh Rajput. He is a good actor but he's terrible here. Rajput constantly gives these smirky looks with his face. I don't know why?! There also talented actors like Boman Irani and Pankaj Tripathi that are COMPLETELY wasted. Everyone's acting is disgraceful.
I now understand why Drive was thrown into Netflix. I think they gave up after the amount of times they had to delay the film and just decided to release it on Netflix. This film fails on everything. There is not one redeeming factor I can think of. Drive is unquestionably the worst film of 2019 and one of the worst films I've ever seen in my entire life.
