    Excellent Audio Visual Delight and Breathtaking Action Sequence - Full Review (Best, Good, Bad, Ugly)

    You will find your investment on movie ticket got good return in just 15 mins. All remaining movie is the bonus. Perfection in action sequences and visuals that make you wonder that India is most beautiful.

    Best: Action sequences, visual effects, audio and merging of song in the content - sometime you will forget that there is some song going on background.

    Excellent Acting by Ajay Devgn, father of diplomat,hacker guy.

    Good: Intention in making, Newness in story, innovative concept, inclusion of international actors, cute kid. Very heavy movie - it will surely leave some impression on you. You will feel that you got some return.

    Bad: Lack of maturity in acting of Diplomat girl. Very less link with Real Lord Shiva - just given a very light flavour, chase was intentional it could have been noble and divine.

    Ugly: Length of the movie - it could have been 20 mins less. You surely need to take popcorn with you and then you will love it. This is the only thing that will turn you off.

    Fights - Si. Movie - No.

    After a snoozefest of a soapy beginning, the action eventually kicks into high gear for an adrenaline-pumping ordeal. Getting his daughter up to age eight drags badly. But once she's TAKEN, Ajay goes Full Neeson on a sh**load of vicious sex traffickers and corrupt cops. Then once the dust settles, it's back to crappy scripting for a stupid, protracted ending. Fast-forward through all the between-fight dialog and you'll be far more satisfied watching Ajay doing his hero thing.

    Action,expression & emotion defines Ajay & Shivaay

    Breathtaking visuals, action sequence,good background score, emotions well expressed without words which is the best part of the movie and must watch if you like action movies. But I felt not so entertaining as I am not a great fan of this genre.1st half was bit slow though second half gains the momentum and keeps suspense till the end.

    The movie would have been more entertaining if dialogues were there as Indian audience love them the most and Ajay had done it in OUATM, Singham and Singham returns and well accepted and people love it. But in Shivaay lacked it.

    Anyways to be honest its a must watch movie but for once and if you love action then this is the Bollywood action movie till date.

    Action, Visuals, Special Effects are better than any Bollywood flick ever! Go Watch

    I have never been a great fan of Ajay Devgn, but I couldn't resist myself watching this movie first day after watching the amazing trailers which has astounded audience worldwide. And, I wasn't disappointed.

    The movie actually didn't wasted time in establishing characters or their equation. Though, we got an idea about the story-line through trailers, still there are few twists that feel keep you on the edge. Despite the duration of close to 3 hours, I didn't feel bored or checked by phone even once. The action sequences are the best ever coming from Indian Cinema which goes hand in hand with amazing composition, picturesque cinematography . It is so good at times you won't be able to guess which scenes actually used Green screen.

    The music is extremely powerful and has been timed nicely, 'Darkhast' and 'Raatein' comes in 40min and picks pace right after that.

    The only problem I had was with the dialogues which at times felt over the top, certain conversations were uncalled for. A few scenes could have been toned down, they were unnecessarily exaggerating Shivaay's presence. The story wasn't something you haven't seen before however, the execution was thrilling and spot on.

    Watch this movie for never-seen-before Cinematography, FX & action (interesting ending and great music are bonus)

    PS: This may seem like Taken in some aspects, but it has a deeper emotional connect, distinct execution and amazing visual appeal .
