Detective Sherdil

Strategy board games have a way of pulling people into a world of calculated moves, mind games, and unexpected twists. That's why the release of Empire's Edge had fans buzzing. Unfortunately, the final product doesn't live up to the hype.

The game's concept sounds promising on paper - build alliances, conquer territories, and uncover secret objectives - but the execution leaves much to be desired. The rules are overcomplicated in parts where they should be straightforward, and strangely oversimplified where they should allow depth. The result? A sluggish pace and very little excitement.

Matches drag on far longer than they need to, not because of tense decision-making, but due to tedious mechanics and excessive filler moves. Many of the characters and power cards feel like pointless additions, doing nothing to advance the gameplay.

When victory finally arrives, it's rarely satisfying - more a relief that the game is over than a thrill of achievement. For a title marketed as a bold reinvention of the strategy genre, Empire's Edge is more likely to gather dust on the shelf than inspire heated rematches.

Detective Sherdil, starring the ever-charismatic Diljit Dosanjh, had all the ingredients for a quirky, offbeat detective caper-but sadly, it ends up being an overcooked mess. The film struggles so much with its identity that it feels like the director wasn't sure whether they were making a Hindi comedy, a Punjabi slapstick, or a serious detective thriller-and in the process, they've failed at all three.

Diljit, as always, brings charm and likability to the screen, but even he can't salvage a script that's all over the place. The humor flips awkwardly between exaggerated regional jokes and forced Bollywood-style punchlines. This tonal confusion not only breaks the pacing but also disconnects the viewer from whatever emotional or narrative stakes the film tries to establish.

The detective aspect-promised in the title-barely holds up. Any hint of suspense or mystery is drowned out by comic skits that feel more like outtakes from a Punjabi stage show than elements of a cohesive plot. Scenes that should build intrigue instead derail into gimmicky distractions.

There are moments where you can almost see the potential-clever dialogues here, an interesting clue there-but those moments vanish quickly under the weight of genre confusion. It's as if the director kept switching hats mid-scene: now a detective movie, now a desi comedy, now something else entirely.

Detective Sherdil ultimately feels like a missed opportunity. It had the star power, the premise, and the cultural flair to stand out. But with no clear direction, it ends up being a chaotic mix that satisfies neither fans of mysteries nor those looking for a solid laugh. For all its noise and energy, it lacks clarity and purpose. Proceed only if you're a hardcore Diljit fan-or very, very curious.

Nowadays, I watch lot of thriller movies. Enjoyed the thrilled & mystery throughout the movie but lead actor's performance disappointed me. His acting was pathetic for this type of movie. The "Shanti" & "Purvak" character was fine really loved their acting. BGM was poor too.

Still the Story was quite enjoyable no doubt.

The movie is a complete letdown. There's no proper story, no emotional depth, and not a single moment of genuine comedy. It feels like a random sequence of scenes stitched together with no clear direction or purpose. The characters lack development, the dialogues are dull, and the entire film struggles to keep the audience engaged. Even the attempts at humor fall flat, making the experience tiresome rather than entertaining. It's hard to stay invested when there's nothing to connect with - no plot, no message, and no memorable performances. It's disappointing how much potential was wasted in trying to do everything but ending up doing nothing. If you're expecting entertainment, drama, or even a few good laughs, this film offers none. Just a drag from start to finish. Save your time and skip this one.

Just an amazing film with a classic perfect cast. The movie has done wonders with its pace and story telling. No unnecessary stretch. Just story telling at the place we want. An el nino classic.
