Rating: 1.5 Stars
The film should have been named "Bade Blasts" as the movie is full of bomb blasts, vehicle blasts, and all sorts of blasts from its very start to the end. A huge budget of approximately 300 crore was spent on scale, but sadly, they forgot to work on a good storyline. The first half is a royal mess with too many things happening randomly. To add to it, humorless humor, ultra-cringe dialogues, poor acting, zero chemistry between these two heroes, and action clubbed with cringe comedy were another big letdown.
The film somewhere gets interesting towards the pre-interval block, and it continues its momentum post-interval for roughly 15 minutes, and then, boom, they are back to blasts and unnecessary action. Action is good in some parts of the film, and camerawork is also commendable in a few shots. But to summarize action as a whole, there is 20% genuine action, and the rest 80% is all sorts of blasts and fire served in the name of action.
Coming to performances, Bade was just okay, and none of his scenes give you goosebumps or an elevating feeling. Tiger Shroff is seen going back to his antics of jumping, somersaults, and rowdy dialect with his dialogue delivery. Alayah F is unbearable to the next level. Coming to Sukumaran, he is only the saving grace of this movie. He excelled in his role of the bad boy, and his character is well-designed. Ronit Roy was good as well.
Director Ali Abbas Zafar did have a greater vision of making a globally appealing action movie, but he has magnificently failed. Editing is another department that has failed; the film really needed huge cuts. Songs were completely boring. All in all, this film is not recommended in cinemas.
