Shamshera

I am speechless. As much as I love Hindi films, the track record for Hindi language films has been going downhill for a while now. One of the biggest contributors has been YRF - Yash Raj Films; back to back disasters. It's like they are living in the past and they are teleporting to the present to release the film. Shamshera; a film that has had a very patchy promotional run prior to release suffers big time due to it's dated script. Ranbir Kapoor's return after a 4 year hiatus is dated & excruciating.

Set in the 19th century (presumably in an alternate dimension), Shamshera is the title given to the leader of the Khameran people. 25 years after old man Shamshera (Ranbir) is stoned to death, his son Balli (also Ranbir) inherits the moniker of Shamshera and fights Sanjay Dutt's Daroga Singh to set his people free.

Shamshera is influenced by many films but what stands out is how difficult it is to sit through this film. In the department of atrocities inflicted on man by period feature films, Shamshera stands out (and you thought Samrat Prithviraj was bad). Vaani Kapoor atleast doesn't have a role as insignificant as Katrina Kaif's in ToH. Ranbir is charming but sadly charm doesn't make a film bearable. And it is high time that Sanjay Dutt dropped the evil guy persona. Honestly speaking it is getting tiring and irritating now.

The only saving grace is the film's soundtrack. It has some memorable original tracks and that is an achievement in itself in today's world.

Karan Malhotra helmed the remake of Agneepath, which was an epic but with Shamshera, it seems like the YRF bug bit him.

Shamshera feels more like a stop-gap release for Ranbir before his highly anticipated Brahmastra. But with the response Shamshera is receiving, I am not sure how audiences will receive Brahmastra. This is not the hate speaking (a lot of it going around against Hindi film actors and films), but Shamshera is genuinely bad. Ranbir's worst since Besharam.

Waste Of Time, Waste Of Money, & lots of headache after watching SHAMSHERA. The Director has a good story but God knows what he is thinking while directing this movie. Movie is so stretched that I can't even talk about it. From the start itself the plots lose the connection and the audience can't even connect with the storyline. Songs are the worst part in the movie. After every 10 mins one song is there to irritate you. I mean why we have to be reliable on songs when you have a good story. Poor direction,worst screenplay intact sometimes dialogues also gets bored while watching the movie. Only Ranbir Kapoor performance was great & Vaani Kapoor dance performance was good. Rest cast are below average. Once again A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT from Yashraj.

Waste of money.

Regretting going for the movie.

Plot is seems to be inspired from Bahuballi, Sholay, Badrinath (Telugu), Mad Max and of course Thugs.

Acting wise Ranbir has done a normal job like we do have better actors around its isn't like he was phenomenal. Just being honest.

Vaani is good with the songs and few scenes- wonder if costume designers really put in research work when they did the clothes. *Bikini* tops in the 17th century wow.

Sanju is trying hard did a decent job he isn't a strong actor to begin with except Vastav, Munnabhai..... Saurabh Shukla needs to get more roles his a gem.

Can we also talk about the cinematography and production design being below par. Music is ok considering YRF has such amazing background for worthwhile music.

I was so BORED yet another FLOP from YRF. Don't take it in the wrong way but I'm a genuine YRF/ Aditya fan but they have been disappointing me for the longest.

Don't even watch it on any OTT, it will just waste your download limit. There is no story in this. Just scrambled scenes with poor CGI and poor acting. You will end up dozing off in the theatre or playing with your mobile.

Storyline is too boring.

This Movie is hving a decease of *Jaundice-Pilliya* (A yellow color Themed Movie) 🌕

Ranbir Kapoor is good as a goofy, silly persona but his transition to serious fighter *does not go well.* And The action scenes seem forced.

Vani Kapoor is just n eyeCandy.. she dsnt know acting.., uska acting se koi lena dena nai hai, aati hai ganna gati hai, challi jati hai..! Kapde ho ya na ho.., sab chalta hai..!!😁

Sanjay Dutt is forcing himself in the role perhaps trying to cash in on his recent negative appearances, but anyone can figure out it's not natural.

Music by mithooon - Not good, Jeee Huzoooor ....., kaheka huzooor akdum hi Khajooor hai..!!

Movie is a mix of Agneepath & Thugs of Hindostan...,, *Problem is* neither the movie is original nor they know .., how to copy.

Shamshera = 2nd Thugs of Hindostan - Boring

2 stars for the producers.., fr wasting too much of money fr this joke😄

An expensive joke by YRF for their audience.
