Rifle Club

The cinematic work known as Rifle Club can be classified as an action thriller drama genres, and a subgenre of gun fight. The film was directed by Aashiq Abu.

The narrative under scrutiny pertains to the history of the rifle club, an establishment with a long and distinguished history in the realm of firearms. The club boasts a rich tapestry of experiences interwoven with the annals of military history, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of armaments and the pursuit of marksmanship. The club has a considerable number of members. The majority of these individuals are residing at the club. The romantic movie star, Shajahan, would take on the role of the lead actor in an action movie. In order to prepare for his role, he attended the rifle club to practise firing a gun. Subsequently, his cousin and girlfriend followed him to the club, having escaped from a gangster team. The younger son of Daya, a gangster operating within the Mangalore region, was killed by this cousin and girlfriend, albeit without any discernible motive. The older son proceeded in the direction of the club, where he was apprehended by members of the club. He was subsequently shot by the aforementioned members. Subsequently, Daya and his entire cohort proceeded to launch an attack on the club. However, the club members successfully vanquished and killed each and every member of the gang.

The narrative was of adequate quality. The direction exhibited a standard quality. The performances are of a commendable standard, and the musical scores are a notable aspect of the film. A number of visual effects (VFX) scenes appear to deviate from conventional norms, evoking a sense of peculiarity or otherworldliness in their presentation. Nevertheless, it is a film that can be watched on a single time and recommended to others.

The story begins with actor Shahjahan, who wants to change his romantic image and play a new, raw character. For this, he comes to the club. But the story takes a turn when the family starts to clash with a deadly arms dealer, Dayanand. Shahjahan's relative and his girlfriend flee from Dayanand and take refuge in the club, and this is why the clash begins.

How the elderly members of this club come together to face a formidable opponent like Dayanand and protect the family is the main part of the story. Although the story starts slowly, the tension increases, which keeps the audience hooked until the end.

"Rifle Club" is a family thriller. At first glance, its simple story and the wonderful relationship between the characters are striking. Especially the elderly members of the club are the lifeblood of the story. Their experiences and funny moments make the movie more enjoyable. Vijayaraghavan and Dilesh Pothen's performances were great.

The cinematography is really commendable. The natural beauty of the Western Ghats and the hunting scenes are portrayed very well. The fun evenings at the club or the exciting moments of hunting are also captured very easily.

The second half of the movie felt a bit slow, but it did not spoil the whole experience. Anurag Kashyap was quite scary as Dayanand, but it would have been better if his ruthlessness had been shown more.

Only Malayalam cinema can present a simple story beautifully. This movie is a real example of that. The simpler the story, the more extraordinary its cinematography is. I liked the location, action, BGM, climax. Apart from that, the acting of all the characters is Yes, it is. A must watch for those who like action movies.

Rifle Club is an action-packed tale of guns, vengeance, and family dynamics, centering on a rifle club family and their standoff with a gangster and his sons. The film starts on a slow note, spending time setting up the narrative and introducing a sprawling cast. While this deliberate pace may test some viewers' patience, it lays the groundwork for an explosive second half.

The turning point comes with a series of intense, high-stakes shootouts that showcase thrilling action choreography and keep you at the edge of your seat. However, the large ensemble cast is a double-edged sword; many characters feel underutilized, leaving some subplots half-baked.

Despite its uneven pacing and loose ends, *Rifle Club* delivers an adrenaline-pumping climax that action lovers will enjoy. It's a movie that thrives on its second-half spectacle but could've been more impactful with tighter storytelling and better character focus.

A stylish fun movie about a bunch of people who finally get their wish to flex their shooting skills in a real way with the guns they love. The few problems for me were that the songs were not that impressive and affected the flow of the film, even though they were well integrated in the script and the film could've had more character development so that we could feel more satisfied with each of them eventually ending up more badass than initially shown. I was so happy to see so many of these actors who most would not initially think to be such badasses having an absolute blast here. Glad to see Vani Vishwanath after so many years reminding everyone why she's been the only real action heroine of Malayalam. This has such a huge ensemble cast that it feels impossible to mention everyone but each had their moment that really stays with you. Really wish this was longer and showcased everyone being cool even more.

The film was great and I had a blast watching it. Nearly every aspect was very well done. The main performances especially from dileesh pothen and anurag kashyap are great. The side actors like vani vishwanath and vijayaraghavan provide good support. Vineeth Kumar has a good role. Some of the side actors are just alright. The much hyped Hanumankind was just alright and you can tell he's never acted in a film before. The music, cinematography, and editing are all great. The film goes in a very fast pace and you won't notice the time flying by. The only major problem is the dialogues which sound completely out of place some times. Whenever dileesh pothen says a double meaning joke, he literally says "double meaning double meaning" right after. That completely ruins the joke. There is a scene where dileesh pothen says dialogues in pure malayalam and another character translates them into english. If the audience needs to understand every word, they can just turn on subtitles right? Otherwise the film is a simple and well done film that you will definitely enjoy.
