      A pathetic film in every sense

      As I begin writing my views on Parbhudeva's Action Jackson, the thought that do come to mind is that how silly and crap a movie can be made with massive budget , high cost production and popular star cast ? There are movies like Queen and Gangs Of Wasseypur with high quality content and shoe string budget and yet managed to impress the audience. Why do spend money on useless script and horrible stories and yet actors like Ajay Devgan are working with him ?

      Action Jackson is a masala entertainment telling the story of 2 look-alike. Life changes when they cross each other's part.

      From the critical acclaimed Wanted and entertainers like Rowdy Rathore and R..Rajkumar to disaster movie like Ramaiya Vastavaiya in which the definition of Story, Script and direction does not fit it. In Action Jackson, you will wonder how amateurish can Prabhudeva get. Imagine a scene where Sonakshi Sinha wants her luck to change only if she can see Ajay Devagan's g-part again. Editing is horrible. The torture goes on for almost 3 hours. Art direction is good. Cinematography is nice. Songs are pathetic. Ajay Devgan disappoints and disappoints big time. An actor of his calibre should be doing better films.

      Overall, a pathetic film in every sense. Poor- 1/5

      First half is fresh but second half is little clumsy

      Director Mr.Prabhu Deva work is good. Story has lots of things, which go overboard. Dialogues by Shiraz Ahmed, are OK. Screenplay by Prabhudeva, Shiraz Ahemed and A.C Mughil, offers something new. First half entertains only due to innovative approach of most of the scenes. The main track of luck factor is logical and comical both. Even they try to convey few messages through it. Messages are subtle but good. In the scene, when a kid got refused admission from school on the basis of illiterate father, then the way hero convinces the Principal is appealing. Fighting style with music beats is also new and entertaining. Interval point indicates that now movie is ready to land in the illogical and unnecessary violence area. The main conflict in second half is unreliable. A person never became ready to take risk of his life only for humanity ground and even with his friend. Yeah, we got some comical relief in second half due to this duo but there was no logic at all and it downgraded the villain character too. Climax fight is just like cake walk rather than some brain game in action sequences or in screenplay. Performance wise Ajay Devgan will surprise you with his unique and entertaining style of dancing. He is candidly endearing. Sonakshi Sinha looks beautiful and fits completely in her bubbly character. Yami Gautem looks pretty and acts good. Kunal Roy Kapoor is very good. Manasvi Mamgai as Marina, wears perfect attitude and expression. Music by Himesh Reshmmiya is good and choreography makes it very good.

      Prabhu Deva- a director who is a disgrace to the Bollywood industry

      I have been a fan of Masala films like Dabanng and Main Hoon Na but this one failed to lie in that genre. The execution and story of the movie were both atrocious to say the least. Very choppy editing that I have ever seen in my life. The action scenes are one of the biggest letdowns in the movie. The music is so ridiculous that made me thinking what HR had in his mind when being offered as a composer for Action Jackson. Ajay Devgan's performance is like Tiger Shroff and Fardeen Khan combined only in this movie although he previously did well in his other movies. I still remembered that cheesy line when Sonakshi said to Ajay that you dance better than Prabhu Deva. After hearing Punjabi Mast, yeah he sure does!!! Manasvi Mamgai was attractive in the movie but she had bad taste in acting her role. Prabhu Deva should leave the film directing sector and just stick to making peoples bodies move because that is the only thing he is good at. Lights, Camera, and Action and Prabhu Deva, there is a huge difference on how he does it.

      This film overall was an atrocity and a disgrace to North Indian Cinema and the world.

      DUMB Jackson...

      No Spoilers.

      There are many things that fly in this movie, including Sonakshi.

      The movie has pathetic script... unnecessary dialogs. What i could not understand is that "there was nothing to understand" in this movie. Ajay can not dance but is made to dance. The first half is OK but beware of second half. Action sequences defy Physics.

      Only saving grace is Yamy Gautam and Kunal Roy Kapur. They both have justified their roles. Yami looks fresh and energetic. Movie songs and background score is pathetic and not appealing. Composed with a feeling of loose character.

      Please stay away... watch only on TV release, where u can fast-forward it and waste less time! :)

      Cheers!

      Why Ajay..Why ???

      Half way through Action Jackson..the following questions popped up in my mind

      1) What on earth is Prabhudeva smoking ? To be frank, Devgn is a double role on paper is a good idea but everything is lost after that.

      2) Why does Prabhudeva want to torture us with such films? Last yr..it was R Rajkumar and now Action Jackson?

      3) Why does Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam act is such non sense films? Frankly both are decent actress but Action Jackson is a blot on their careers.

      4) What is Kunal Roy Kapoor doing in this film ?

      5) And, finally...why Ajay ? Why r u acting in such crap films ? You once did some fabulous films. But now Rascals, Son of Sardaar, Himmatwala and now Action Jackson are just undoing the gr8 work u did till date.

      This movie may not be injurious to your health but definitely to your mind !! Stay away.
