Ganapath

Bad Acting Worse Story Worst VFX Please don't Watch As a fan of Tiger I went and I thought the director is vikas bahl who has a good movies in his bucket but Disappointed 😞

When I first heard about the film starring Tiger Shroff and directed by Vikas Bahl, I had high hopes. After all, both Shroff and Bahl have proven themselves in the industry with their previous work. However, "Bad Acting," "Worse Story," and "Worst VFX" are the words that come to mind after watching this film.

First and foremost, the acting in the movie leaves much to be desired. Tiger Shroff, known for his incredible physical abilities and charisma, seemed like a mismatch for the poorly written character he portrayed. The lack of depth in his role made it challenging for him to showcase his talent. It's a shame to see such potential wasted on a weak character.

The story, or lack thereof, is another glaring issue. The plot feels like a mishmash of clichés from countless other action films. There's a predictable love story, a revenge subplot, and some generic villains. It's a shame that a talented director like Vikas Bahl couldn't breathe life into this tired narrative. The lack of creativity in storytelling is evident, and it's a disservice to the audience.

As for the visual effects (VFX), it's astounding how poorly executed they are. In today's cinema, audiences have come to expect a certain level of realism in VFX. Unfortunately, this film falls short in that department. The action sequences, which should have been the film's strong suit, suffer from unconvincing and low-quality effects. It's clear that not enough attention or budget was allocated to this critical aspect of the film.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend this film to anyone, even die-hard Tiger Shroff fans. It's a letdown on multiple fronts - from the lackluster acting to the uninspired storytelling and the abysmal VFX. It's a classic case of a potentially great movie gone terribly wrong. As a fan of both Tiger Shroff and Vikas Bahl, it's disheartening to see them associated with such a lackluster project. Save your time and money and skip this one. There are far better films out there worth your attention.

Ganapath (2023) : Movie Review -

Ganapath Review: Vikas Bahl teams up with Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Amitabh Bachchan for the first action film of his career, "Ganapath". Maybe it's not just his genre. Not his game at all. The filmmaker has a solid history of Chillar Party, Queen, and Super 30, but then he has the likes of Shaandar and Goodbye too. Ganapath may comfortably sit in the latter's club. It's a futuristic world, alright, but since we don't know what's going to happen in the future, Bahl also didn't know anything. With no reference or knowledge about the future in his hands, Bahl dreams of an action adventure that falls short of almost every aspect of filmmaking. It's good to see Tiger trying something new and also to see national award-winner Kriti supporting him in the same, but as we know, a film is not an individual's efforts. Ganapath falls as a whole experience.

Set in a future timeline, Ganapath is about rich people taking over the poor people's world. Dalpati (Amitabh Bachchan) predicts that the poor will have their messiah, the fighter Ganapath. Years later, Guddu (Tiger Shroff) is working as an assistant for a fighting gambler. He has an affair with his boss' GF, so the boss cuts him out with death. However, Guddu is saved by one of the gang members, who realises that Guddu is the Messiah Ganapath, for whom they have been waiting for years. Guddu is sent to poor people's land, and he meets Shiva and Jassi (Kriti Sanon). With proper training, Guddu transforms into Ganapath, a mercenary who sets out on a mission to safeguard his people from a notorious syndicate headed by Dalini (the boss of the evil whose face is revealed at the end).

Written by Vikas Bahl, Ganapath's script lacks newness, novelty, prime factor, and sometimes even basic sense. They were set out to create a dystopian world but ended up making a regular humdrum MMA fighting game. Is that their idea of a futuristic world? There should have been something new, something unique, something unseen, and something unheard of. Alas, there is the same world again except for the animated city of rich people while the poor ones live in mountains-something similar to the Mad Max world, as Tiger says. Also, the tapori language was completely unnecessary. It's a mismatch, you see. The screenplay dabbles, and how! You can see it yourself since I am not giving away any spoilers.

On the positive side, Tiger Shroff was seen doing something different. But again, the writing spoiled many things for him and his character. Those flip-ups and stunts are not new to any Tiger Shroff fan. So basically, it's a world that's not new. Kriti, on the other hand, enters with a bang as her entry scene is kick A.. Desi Lara Croft, or whatever you call it, which later turns into a typical abla naari. Big B Amitabh Bachchan shines in a cameo role that sets the base for Ganapath's story. Elli AvrRam looks hot in a blink-and-miss cameo, and the same is the case with Shruthy Menon. Girish Kulkarni, Ziad Bakri, Jameel Khan, and Rahman add decent support with their overly made-up characters.

Ganapath has a mixed-music album. Jai Ganesha is a great number. It feels so freaking amazing on the big screen. It's stimulating and energetic. Sadly, other songs don't have the same magic (including raps), and they fall flat. The cinematography gives a few good frames of this VFX-driven world that's nothing noticeable. Ganapath's dialogue may hit the chords with a certain section of the audience. Words like Humne mast pela, Maine Khela, Meri hatati hai, Life me kuch karne ka, and all don't seem plausible to my idea of a new-age action film, but who knows? The town is full of masses speaking the same language every day. It's their own tongue, after all. There were certain expectations from Vikas Bahl, as he was making a dystopian and high-tech action entertainer, and that too a two-part series. Unfortunately, all those expectations are buried with Ganapath. It might have worked with a different approach, but somehow things just didn't add up well. Everything went wrong, from the script to the execution. An ambitious project with such a high budget deserved a better outcome, for sure.

RATING - 3/10*

"Ganapath: A Hero is Born" ventures into a dystopian future, promising an action-packed narrative and a dual role for Tiger Shroff, alongside the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and the talented Kriti Sanon. Directed and written by Vikas Bahl, who also produced the film, this ambitious project falls short of its potential, leaving audiences with a painful narrative.

The film's premise, set in the year 2070, introduces Guddu, who transforms into Ganapath, a savior on a mission to protect his people from a notorious syndicate led by Dalini. While the concept holds promise, the execution leaves much to be desired.

It's surprising to see Vikas Bahl, known for delivering acclaimed films like "Queen," associated with a film that misses the mark. The narrative fails to engage viewers, and the film as a whole disappoints, especially considering the high expectations that come with such a cast and budget.

While Tiger Shroff's action sequences are undoubtedly impressive, they can't salvage a story that lacks depth and coherence. The film's attempt to set the stage for a sequel, even in the face of its shortcomings, adds to the frustration.

The music, featuring songs by Vishal Mishra, Amit Trivedi, White Noise Studios, and Dr. Zeus, along with the score by Salim-Sulaiman, attempts to inject life into the film but falls short of making a significant impact.

In conclusion, "Ganapath" is a missed opportunity, failing to live up to the expectations set by its impressive cast and intriguing premise. The painful narrative and unexpected shortcomings make it a disappointing addition to the world of dystopian thrillers. While some may still hold out hope for a potential Part 2, the film leaves much to be desired and falls short of what could have been a thrilling cinematic experience.

Stupid movie. Fell asleep in it. No storyline, bad action, no logic. Skip it and don't waste your money. 0 stars. Graphics are bad too. I'm a tiger fan but this movie is a flop. Movie makes no sense. I'm embarrassed for the actors participating in this movie. It has nothing to offer. All this movie is just tiger kicking around and showing off his dance moves at random times. If you want to watch this movie then watch it at home. Don't waste your time at the movie theater. I am laughing at how bad this movie is. I am shocked they made such a bad movie. Only good thing about this movie is kriti sanon but even she couldn't save the movie.

DISASTER ULTRA PRO MAX & WHAT NOT , this film is more terrible than its trailer claimed it to be . From the start to its end all you see is unnecessary boxing going on and amidst it is a very small plot which makes no sense till its end presented with cartoonish and silly VFX which is another huge letdown . First half is just waste of time and 2nd half is double waste of time .The only watchable moments are a few select action scenes by Tiger rest everything is usual stuff that he does,also Kriti has aced her role well as a tough fighter girl but hardly had screen time. All and all no substance , no story , no emotion , no logic only fight & boxing makes its an unbearable watching experience. The Climax is so typical and you get to predict it as soon as the 2nd half starts but still you just need to sit through boxing sessions by Tiger. Editing is very poor , Songs don't connect to the audience . Finally All applause to the makers who even after making an epic disaster like this end the film with an announcement of Ganpath Part 2 .Not at all recommended in the cinemas .
