Recent Indian OTT series have shown a lot of affinity towards British series first was Cheat remake as Mithya and now Luther as Rudra. Unfortunately, both lacked originality that makes them deficient.

Rudra an official remake of Luther which falls flat from the word go. I barely managed to sit through the first 3 episodes and they are exact copy of the original. The dialogues are simply translated to Hindi from English and they do not make any impact but essentially sound silly.

Ajay Devgan fails to display the intensity of Idris Alba. Acting is pretty bad for most of the characters and sometimes even over the top. I fail to understand what Esha Deol is doing in this series neither she can act nor deliver the discourse. The screenplay and the direction is shoddy and the passion and aggression that was an essential ingredient of the original series is missing.

Those who haven't seen Luther might enjoy Rudra.

I would request the Indian OTT makers to stick to the original scripts as Rudra is neither original not fetching.

Movies made on our martyrs will always carry a special place in our heart. Unfortunately, BOLLYWOOD need to ruin their stories with histrionics. I was a teenager when the Kargil war happened and connect with all news around it. Shershah is merely a marketable product without any emotions. We need to take a leaf out of hollywood when make such movies without diluting the real purpose.

Shershah tells the story of Capt Vikram Batra's exemplary courage during the Kargil war. The movie could have been much more effective if it would have been crisp and avoided unnecessary songs .

Biggest drawback of the movie is no connect with the viewers as it lacked the soul, emotion or essence that a war movie and a great martyr s story should induce. Poor direction and screenplay does not add to the movie. Acting is average and Siddhartha Malhotra is not able to spark the exuberance and charm of Captain Batra which can be felt by his original clippings towards the end of the movie. Moreover, Karan Johar has taken care his love for Pakistan. The whole movie gets over before you realize who was the actual culprit .

A movie that could have been a great treat on the eve of our Independence Day has been merely reduced to a poor commercial flick.

A thriller should be fast paced and engaging this movie fails on both the fronts.

Movie starts on a promising note but the weak story, poor screenplay and direction does not add to its cause. . Acting- Vikrant Massey is good rest are from average to poor.

Anyways, Netflix can have some face saving here.
