A Flying Jatt

A Jatt superhero who bumbles and fumbles? Who behaves like a little boy around his formidable 'bebe', and is all shy and tongue-tied around a hot babe? Who has, haha, a fear of heights? Sounds like a barrel of fun, no? The first half of A Flying Jatt is not afraid to be silly and is very enjoyable. Tiger Shroff plays a martial arts teacher in a school where he strives lamely to catch his students' eye, as well as a pretty colleague whom we know is interested in the environment because she clutches a couple of books on the subject to her bosom. No one ever goes to class: it is that kind of film.The pollution, we soon learn, is Enemy No One, riding on the back of the greedy capitalist Malhotra (Kay Kay Menon, camping it up madly) and the evil monster-dipped-into-the-vat-of-chemicals Raka (Nathan Jones, boasting an old-fashioned Bollywood name for a modern-day 'gora' villain). When the Flying Jatt's mum sends him off with the classic 'jaa, duniya ko bacha', we laugh out loud. Because, you know, that's what superheroes do: once they are in costume-and-cape and armed with their super-powers, we know all will be well.

Tiger Shroff is a thing of beauty when he flexes his splendid, impossibly toned muscles. He dances like a dream. And because he is still a work-in-progress actor to whom fumbling and bumbling and being awkward comes naturally, he is a good fit for his character, even if it's cobbled together from familiar caped crusaders: bits of Superman and Spiderman and our own home-grown Krrish.He gets able support from Singh as the proud Sikhni with superpowers of her own: no baddie ever invented can be a match for Bollywood moms. And from Gaurav Pandey as his brother-cum-best-pal. Fernandez has to jump up and down and squeal girlishly, when she is not dancing alongside the Jatt, or not being taken on an aerial survey, all of which she delivers on.The second half goes south. The film starts getting preachy and heavy. A bad guy who fattens on garbage and waste is a great stroke, but to keep belabouring the point is pointless. Except for a couple of effective scenes, the enormous Jones is a bore. And without the funny bits which kept the pre-interval parts afloat, the faults start glaring. The song-and-dances, bunged in just to show off Tiger's limber moves, are a drag: Bollywood superheroes can save the world only after the 'naach-gaana' is over.Our Jatt Singh-Is-King-of-Kings superhero needs nothing but his 'kada': kryptonite is so last century. Nice touch. But he also needs a plot to help him fly all the way.This could have been such a rollicking film, especially for kids —it had all the ingredients, and an engaging start, fronted by a hero who is light on his feet. Too bad it ends up being a promo for Swachch Bharat.

I have hardly rated any movie under 5, but this movie is really one of worst movie I have ever seen. Though, the message the movie tries to convey is quite good, but bad story, worse execution and some inappropriate songs made the movie to face a great failure.

Ra One, Krrish 3, and Drona- superhero movies which have disgraced and disrespected Bollywood on a whole new level. Congratulations A Flying Jatt, you've managed to fall even below that. I get the fact that this movie had a noble message persuading people to save our planet but still, where's the moral support in this movie.

Prabhu Deva and Farah Khan- choreographers in which they have disrespected themselves as film directors. Although Farah Khan made Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om but after TMK, things got worse. Remo D' Souza is finally in the same category. ABCD was a good film. But for this one, the direction and editing for this film was the main reason why I felt like throwing my shoe towards the screen. The VFX looked like the Govinda version of Superman from one of his 90s movies. The superhero scenes were choreographed very poorly and the characterization was very cringed up. The costume looked like Akshay Kumar when he became King in Singh Is Kingg.

Tiger Shroff should leave the acting sector of the film industry. I mean technically his dance movies are a killer and his action stunts are phenomenal but he just can't act. Jacqueline Fernandez was like a kid in this movie I mean she had very kiddish instincts in the movie and she just couldn't leave the comfort zone. Kay Kay Menon was alright during 1st half but ending it just had to be a drag. Nathan Jones who played the villain Raka was like Sunny Deol in Ghayal because throughout the movie, he just shouts which was annoying. The songs were't that great except for Beat pe Booty which had good dancing sequences between Tiger and Jackie.

Overall, this movie just failed to entertain and its completely pointless and cringe worthy. Don't spend your money on this atrocious piece of art and just use it to take your friends out for coffee, Focus on Hollywood if you like superhero movies.

A message for Bollywood Choreographers.

Continue dancing for films but just stay away from the movie cameras and the Director's chair.

When will Indian makers use some original plot about super hero movies? Very difficult or impossible question to answer. Remo D Souza should stick to choreography and forget about direction or else he will be left with nothing. A flying Jatt has nothing that the viewers have not seen before. You have scenes pulverized from X Men movies to Superman even Jackie Chan movies. When audience can watch original with better handling why would somebody want to watch this. The director was confused regarding the category of the movie therefore, assuming he was trying the movie should have superhero with comedy and a love story with a social message. What we get is a curry that is garish and silly. Direction is bad. Period!

Acting is pathetic -- Tiger Shroff should realize merely action cannot make his film work.

Jacqueline should focus on dancing and looking pretty unfortunately, she is bad for these traits as well in the movie. Acting was never her specialty.

Nathan Jones is good in his character

K K Mennon is wasted. Amrita Singh is decent.

Too many songs and some were not even needed. Music is average. Editing is bad and movie lacks consistency. The movie has a god social message but executed very badly. I am not sure even kids will enjoy this movie.. Please do not waste your money on this one. May be wait for the movie be aired on any satellite channel which will be soon.. This Jatt does not take off..

Script is bad acting is pathetic

This movie is in my Top 3 worst bollywood movie lists I watched. This movie was slap on the faces of superhero fans. Everyone was expecting something wonderful but got the worst. All the action scenes were directly taken from X Men and Man of Steel. And this is not the worse that they were copied, the worst the copied scenes looks like garbage. This movie is full of garbage which are packed in a dustbin called flying jatt. This movie does not deserve 1 star, I am giving 0 stars out of 10. Waste of your precious life time.
