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.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Dialogues 3/5 Story 3.5/5 Screenplay 2.5/5.

The movie aims to make audience serious but practically it all results into comedy and foolish science fiction with baseless dimension. One of the most FALTU and PAKAU movie we have witnessed in the history of bollywood. Mohinjadaro was better compared to this foolish storyline. All things starting from music to direction and from acting to funny science fiction badly disappoints. Akshay Kumar also fails to impress and jackline Fernandez is merely a entity which provides audience with some freshness through visuals. Overuse of CGI , may be the director considered Indian audience as fools. Don't go in theatres and waste your hard earned money on this baseless movie. Bollywood continues the tradition to disappoint.

Before watching it, I certainly had a notion that the movie might deliberately try to force its way into a religious sentiment. However, I feel, this is a good start. The dialogues are good enough and direction is also ok. Donot have very high expectations, however you also don't need to be highly critical of the movie also. It's a one time watch, for someone who loves historical mystery stories clubbed with indiana jones style. VFX is not good. They have relied too much of VFX which seems too childish. Overall nothing much to complain about.

Be very assured that this is NOT a movie that glorifies a particular religion heavily.

In his mad lust to complete shooting in less than 40 days, AK40 AKA Akshay Kumar ruined a great story in almost the same manner he ruined Prithviraj. AK40 is just trying to make money by manipulating Hindu sentiments. He must have thought that his movie will also float like stones just because it has Ram written on it. Hindus don't need ridiculous movies like this. Horrible acting, poor direction, bad music and a very loose childish script. The flow of the movie sucks. As usual, a great opportunity not just lost by urduwood but ruined for others as well. And the usual sickular monkey balancing which looks really ugly when forced into the story out of context or requirement of the plot.
