Action Jackson

No Spoilers.

There are many things that fly in this movie, including Sonakshi.

The movie has pathetic script... unnecessary dialogs. What i could not understand is that "there was nothing to understand" in this movie. Ajay can not dance but is made to dance. The first half is OK but beware of second half. Action sequences defy Physics.

Only saving grace is Yamy Gautam and Kunal Roy Kapur. They both have justified their roles. Yami looks fresh and energetic. Movie songs and background score is pathetic and not appealing. Composed with a feeling of loose character.

Please stay away... watch only on TV release, where u can fast-forward it and waste less time! :)

Cheers!

As I begin writing my views on Parbhudeva's Action Jackson, the thought that do come to mind is that how silly and crap a movie can be made with massive budget , high cost production and popular star cast ? There are movies like Queen and Gangs Of Wasseypur with high quality content and shoe string budget and yet managed to impress the audience. Why do spend money on useless script and horrible stories and yet actors like Ajay Devgan are working with him ?

Action Jackson is a masala entertainment telling the story of 2 look-alike. Life changes when they cross each other's part.

From the critical acclaimed Wanted and entertainers like Rowdy Rathore and R..Rajkumar to disaster movie like Ramaiya Vastavaiya in which the definition of Story, Script and direction does not fit it. In Action Jackson, you will wonder how amateurish can Prabhudeva get. Imagine a scene where Sonakshi Sinha wants her luck to change only if she can see Ajay Devagan's g-part again. Editing is horrible. The torture goes on for almost 3 hours. Art direction is good. Cinematography is nice. Songs are pathetic. Ajay Devgan disappoints and disappoints big time. An actor of his calibre should be doing better films.

Overall, a pathetic film in every sense. Poor- 1/5

I said disappointing for a reason and that is, when you see a film starred by Ajay Devgan, Directed By Prabhu Deva, You naturally start to think that the film should be 'Interesting, A Must Watch' Should Be Good' that kind of thoughts easily comes to our mind because we expect something different something spectacular to be delivered, But if we can't get that then disappointment comes naturally and that is obvious.

I'm not saying that the film was Bakwaas, Total Crap, Utterly Disgusting like the other reviewers here. But I'm sorry to say that it was truly not enough to be memorable one. Let me come to the details first..

There are several Pros and Cons, I'll try to enlist as much as possible...So?

Let's come to the points quickly...

Cons....

1. Music was Average {Could've been better}.

2. First half was something fresh but looks dull with silly dialogs and witty expressions.

3. I personally think Kunaal Roy Kapur's character was unnecessary and was totally wasted.

4. Sonakshi Sinha was good in her part of role but seems to be repetitive.

5. The Main Antagonist does not look like a villain at all. He misses the charm of Bad Character. {Prakash Raj Would've been a better choice}.

6. Editing was fuzzy.

7. The film has 2 Hour and 26 Mins of Run Time and that is something that feels dragged a little bit.

Now the {+} points...

Pros....

1. New type of actions were great to watch. Action Sequences were executed properly.

2. Ajay Devgan truly justified his role, I doubt if any other actor can carry the role to that level.

3. Yami Gautam acted very well in her small but effective role.

4. Even the leading bad lady, I mean Manasvi {She's damn hot really :D} did her job well.

5. I did not like the first half, actually it was slow and dull but the second half was good and catches up the pace it needs.

After all if you are either a Ajay Devgan or Prabhu Deva Fan then You should watch it, you will enjoy the film, but don't keep so much expectations as I did :{ you will be disappointed as much as I am now!!!

Action Jackson is an action thriller film directed by Prabhu Deva. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam, Manasvi Mamgain, Kunaal Roy Kapur and Anandaraj.

A small-time goon falls in love with a clumsy girl. Before the two lovers can embark on a romantic journey, he comes face-to-face with his lookalike.

Prabhu Deva made a block buster film Rowdy Rathore and it seems that he is not coming out of the hangover of that film as the plot and execution of this film is very similar of that film but this film is less entertaining, more irritating and jokes are just flat. There are some positives with the film such as beautiful cinematography, choreographed action scenes and acting of Ajay Devgn but all this is overshadowed by a weak storyline, pathetic direction, loud BGM, terrible execution and above all Sonakshi Sinha who just irritates whenever she is on screen.

The plot of the film is similar to Rowdy Rathore and execution is almost similar but as mentioned earlier this film is less funny, less entertaining and more irritating.

Screenplay of the film is average. Acting is superb by Ajay Devgn and apart from Ajay Devgn, Yami Gautam was to much extent impressive, Kunal Roy Kapur was average, Manasvi tries hard but fails to impress, Anandaraj was badly underused and Sonakshi Sinha irritates to the core. It's high time that she should understand that acting is not her cup of tea and try her hands in anything apart from acting.

The climax of the film is very violent and brutal, typical action lovers and hardcore fans of Ajay devgn will like this film for others a terrible film to watch.

I have been a fan of Masala films like Dabanng and Main Hoon Na but this one failed to lie in that genre. The execution and story of the movie were both atrocious to say the least. Very choppy editing that I have ever seen in my life. The action scenes are one of the biggest letdowns in the movie. The music is so ridiculous that made me thinking what HR had in his mind when being offered as a composer for Action Jackson. Ajay Devgan's performance is like Tiger Shroff and Fardeen Khan combined only in this movie although he previously did well in his other movies. I still remembered that cheesy line when Sonakshi said to Ajay that you dance better than Prabhu Deva. After hearing Punjabi Mast, yeah he sure does!!! Manasvi Mamgai was attractive in the movie but she had bad taste in acting her role. Prabhu Deva should leave the film directing sector and just stick to making peoples bodies move because that is the only thing he is good at. Lights, Camera, and Action and Prabhu Deva, there is a huge difference on how he does it.

This film overall was an atrocity and a disgrace to North Indian Cinema and the world.
