Ruslaan

"They prioritize flash over substance, thinking a hero's muscles suffice. Neglecting a compelling face and story, they fill screen time without depth. Balance visual appeal with narrative for genuine impact. Character development and engaging storytelling elevate a hero's physicality, investing audiences emotionally and intellectually.

Substance transcends superficiality, fostering connection and resonance. Meaningful narratives explore complexities, motivations, and growth. Investing in story enriches the cinematic experience, leaving a lasting impression.

Audiences crave authenticity, relatability, and emotional investment. Shallow storytelling alienates viewers, undermining potential. Well-crafted narratives weave themes, symbolism, and subtext, rewarding attention and reflection.

Visual spectacle complements, rather than replaces, narrative depth. Iconic films master this balance, resonating with audiences worldwide. Let's prioritize storytelling substance, crafting memorable, impactful cinematic experiences that linger long after credits roll."

ATS Officer Sameer Singh (Jagapathi Babu) finds Ruslaan during an undercover mission to eliminate suspected terrorists. Sameer saves Ruslaan and eventually adopts him after seeing his state at the orphanage. The grown up Ruslaan (Aayush Sharma) is forced to prove his identity and loyalty all his life, which has made him firm in his decision to join the forces which Sameer objects. This doesn't stop Ruslaan as he willingly becomes the asset of Mantra, his handler and way for joining RAW. On his mission, he uncovers the involvement of China and eventually falls into a trap which makes him the target with his father Sameer leading the team to capture him. How does Ruslaan prove his innocence and also stop an impending attack in Mumbai, forms rest of the story.

The plus is obviously Aayush Sharma's committed performance which does feel too much considering how the film turned out in second half. The delayed production with the change of director, one can clearly notice how basic the writing is and it is designed as a star vehicle to glorify Aayush Sharma on screen. It is watchable as far as the first half goes with the only major minus being the overdose of slow motion shots and forgettable songs. It has enough melodrama and establishes the clear motive for the hero to join the forces. It's a straight forward story with predictable twists.

The problem lies in the second half entirely where the film stops taking itself seriously while Aayush remains committed. In one scene, he provides his phone, having a video and asks his partner to check the co-ordinates for which she literally zooms in the video and swipes right continuously to claim she has found the co-ordinates. The major scenes lack impact and things fall in place rather too conveniently. The final twist was again quite predictable and definitely not well handled. The actors can only do so much when the writing lacks the fizz. I am going with a lenient rating for Aayush Sharma's commitment and Ruslaan offers nothing else.

If you really want to see a well paced and well directed movie then Ruslaan is the one. Every frame and every scene is perfectly executed by the team. Kudos to the team for that. Very hard to predict the movie and the story line is top notch. I personally enjoyed the second part of the movie more. Very good picturization done in Azarbyjan. Aayush looks very promising and has definitely come a long way from his previous movie. Jagatpati Bapu, what can we say is and has always been a legend. Flawless acting by him. Overall, if you're a thrill buff and fancy watching some really cool fight scenes then a must watch !

During the last few years Bollywood experimented with the theme related to the Lives, Struggles, Dedication and Supreme Sacrifices of those who work for the Intelligence Department of India. The films of such category may be seen as Tributes to those brave people and the Department that make us proud through their endeavours for the nation., Ruslaan 2024 is a new addition in this category. But about this particular film?

Plot- The Plot is simple. The film tries to depict the desperate effort of an individual to prove his loyalty to India rising above religious affiliation.

Narrative- The way the film has been narrated is boring. The film has drastically failed to take forward the action considering the interests of the viewers. So also, as a film lacks something essential related to military adventure.

Action Sequences - The most boring part of the film is its Action Sequences. The scenes are lengthy and repetition. So also, the film has failed in making Action Sequences realistic which is one of the essential aspects to make such film successful. The film depends more on melodrama.

Co-ordination: The most challenging aspect of such film is successful and effective co-ordination of different dimensions of a film. The Film has some aspects like Romance, Friendship, Paternal love, individual apathy and other aspects. However, the problem is: these are not properly connected to the pivotal theme.

Ending: The film keeps a surprising element at the end. The role-model of the young man Ruslaan discovers his foster father Jagapathi Babu as the traitor. But throughout the film there is no indication of this so that interests of the viewers remain intact to watch that surprising element as the film lacks the most important element; suspense. As audience is not prepared for such ending, this significant aspect of the film has failed to impact as per expectation.

Cast Aayush Sharma, Sushrii Mishraa, Vidya Malvade do not seem impressive. However, Jagapathi Babu proves his genius.

Final Remarks- The Realistic Purview of Ruslaan Movie 2024: it is Old Wine in a New Bottle.

Movie- RUSLAAN (JioCinema)

This spy-thriller Ruslaan starring Aayush Sharma , Sushrii and Jagapathi Babu is a spoof that we didn't want and didn't deserve after a success of antim , Aayush Sharma is so poor in this movie what a downfall. It is a total waste why they've made this. Boring and predictable. So messed up . The climax was needlessly predictable because if it not what i was thinking it would've be more bored. Except the hardwork in bodybuilding that we can see of aayush sharma . Aayush should also do some work on your acting skills too. He under- perform himself out in this one . The Bgm is good i would say but the songs and music is looking weak to me. And Jagapathi Babu why are you doing all this stupid and senseless movie. All other cast was not good too. The storyline is so weak but i would say the action was good with the goreness.

Not recommended.

Do not watch.
