Ram Setu

Today I watch this movie due to its interesting title but after sometime movie start lacking as usual VFX, direction and screenplay. I don't know why Bollywood not try to use good VFX companies for their movies. They don't want to learn from past experiences. Story is good but poor performances by actors. It is just waste of time and money for me to go and watch it in theaters. If they try to provide better screenplay and directions then it will be a good movie. When you try to make such a big title movie you should have to give time in creating and making a movie. But when you follow ASAP policy in making movies then it lacks everything as always Bollywood does. Poor.

Is Akshay Kumar back with another underwhelming film? After delivering the disappointing action comedy Bachchhan Paandey, a historical action drama Samrat Prithviraj, a family drama Raksha Bandhan, and a crime thriller Cuttputlli, he is back with his latest offering, an adventure action film Ram Setu, but this time he will not disappoint his fans completely. The makers have chosen a fascinating subject that hasn't been explored in any Indian film.

Abhishek Sharma's story was promising and has all the ingredients like adventure, mystery, science, action, and courtroom drama. The dialogues, direction & editing were good, and the background score goes well with the film. But there was more scope for better & engrossing writing here. The concept may have sounded more exciting on paper but the execution is mediocre. Also the below-par VFX is the biggest drawback of the film which has hugely affected the overall impact of the film.

The film starts on a good note and the first half of the film has little cinematic appeal too. But the screenplay can hold the audience in bits & pieces. The film tried to revive itself in the second half and picks up pace. It does become engaging and the surprise in the climax will be loved by most of the viewers.

Akshay Kumar has delivered a notable performance. Jacqueline Fernande was decent in her role but Nushrratt Bharuccha has nothing to offer here. Satya Dev got a well-written role and he has done complete justice to his role in his Bollywood debut. Nassar, Pravesh Rana. Jeniffer Piccinato, and other supporting were just fine in their roles.

Ram Setu review :

He is an archeologist, a scientist and an atheist. By the end of the film, he also turns a lawyer and a bhakt!!

I mean Shri Ram Bhakt!

That's pretty much the graph of Akshay Kumar's character - a desi Indiana Jones if you may wanna call him - who is sucked in to a timebound expedition out to prove that the Ram Setu (or Adams bridge) connecting India to Lanka was man made. And more importantly, Lord Ram is NOT a mythology but our glorious history.

Drawing real life influence from the mid '2000s case where the previous UPA Government had filed an affidavit in court challenging the very existence of Lord Ram, the film seamlessly weaves in a thrilling adventure in to the proceedings to provide a wholesome Diwali entertainer for the entire family. Particularly, the underwater sequences will appeal big time to kids...

Unlike Samrat Prithviraj, Akshay Kumar is in form this time and he steers the movie effortlessly through its twists and turns right up to the courtroom climax. Nushrat Bharuccha looks too young to be his wife though!! The real surprise package turns out to be Satya Dev as AP, a tourist guide volunteering to help Kumar and co. For a couple of bucks.

On the flipside, the VFX are underwhelming, the film loses grip a couple of times in the second hour and Jacqueline looks more a model than a scientist. But all of these flaws get drowned in the ocean once the climactic revelation happens...Ram Setu just soars in the end and the final "divine" twist tugs your heartstrings to clap aloud in appreciation. Make it your family outing!!

The plot is amazing. Story could have been more clear, many scenes were left vaguely.

The metaphors used are something I have not seen in Bollywood movies earlier which makes it interesting (something that was fascinating in parasites). The villain's company name is pushpak shipping, ravana's airplane. Akshay Kumar's sea suit is named makar, sea crocodile; the guide is AP anjani putra, his boat's name is cheeranjeevi that's immortal which Hanuman is said to be.

The cast should have been different one, this topic and the way it is presented deserves lot more serious actors, it was easy impact plot, but these actors were not able to do that. You will not be connected to any character throughout the movie. This had potential to be a classic movie that stays with masses but nothing like that happens. The only character that is having some depth is Akshay Kumar's but that also doesn't takes you on a journey. You never connect emotionally with the character's feelings. Ranveer Singh or Hrithik Roshan would have been much better choices to connect with audience. Satyadev was the best character and actor in the movie.

Definitely worth a watch. It will just leave a nice movie feeling nothing larger than life.

Underwater Scene is just wow.

Storyline is all about RamSetu, Efforts on the movie while making it can be easily seen in the movie.

Fast pace movie, not a single song in it.

The Story keeps you engaged till the end and the climax gives smile.

The Visuals are Good, people who are saying bad or worst things about movie are not actually wanted to watch the movie or wanted only to say bad things.

I'll say not best or Great movie but those who don't know about the facts but this incident actually happened in 2007.

Whole movie question about Ram Setu and Shree Ram Existence and revealed many small things or interesting facts about the Ram Setu or Shree Ram.

Akshay is pleasant to watch, Satyadev brings smile when he comes on Screen.

One time watch and Good Try Makers.
