Ruslaan

What is a movie? Who is acting? What's screenplay? Some serious questions that need contemplation by the makers of this movie. This is some serious B grade from Bollywood. The lead actor, doesn't know acting apart from raising and twisting his eyebrows! What a joke of a movie! The action is lackluster! The music, horrible. Dialogues, noob. Story, idiotic. I would not recommend you watch this movie even at home for free. It's a serious waste of time. I humbly request, Aayush Sharma to stop dreaming of his acting career. Jagapathi Babu doing this B grade movie is beyond me. Save yourself, DO NOT WATCH!

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.

"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."

Ruslaan tells the story of "Ruslaan" portrayed by Aayush Sharma. Portraying the role of the son of a terrorist, Ruslaan works hard to overcome all obstacles and become an undercover agent.

It is a fantastic and gripping movie with great action and superlative direction. The narrative kept me engaged throughout. The climax was unanticipated and that's what made it an entertaining watch.

Aayush in the role of Ruslaan was outstanding. Jagapathi Babu and Vidya Malvade in their respective roles were absolute magic on screen. Sushri as a fresh face was nice to see and her action scene left me wanting more!

The songs are quite catchy and visually very appealing. Did miss the song Taade though. Definitely a must watch!

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.
