This movie is like a Marmite! You will either Love it or Hate it, there’s no middle ground. If you appreciate art in its true form with no judgements then probably you should watch it! While the storyline is a cliche with the age old father and son sentiment, the movie is still worth watching for the efforts Ranbir, Anil and Bobby has fuelled in.
In terms of the storyline yes, it’s a bit lengthy and could have been easily wrapped up well within 2.5 to 3hrs. However, Sandeep reddy has chosen to make it more intense by adding the extra minutes on the clock but the story just melts in. If you have loved it through the half way then you wouldn’t mind the 3+ hrs of screen time. The story just unfolds itself and makes you think it makes sense.
The movie is high octane with action scenes blended with family emotions. While the love story seems quite Alpha as Ranbir describes in the movie it’s got its own charm.
If you are a father, then I wouldn’t be surprised if you shed a tear or two. The message is quite strong at the end which you will take home.
Rashmika has tried quite hard to fit into Bollywood but her charms fail to impress the audience. There are a number of B-town heroines who fit into this role much appropriately.
You will love Bobby’s 10 min screen time and his entry and energy through the end.
With all due respect, if you are a feminist then you’re better off avoiding the movie.
The movie is ahead of its time for Indian audiences and too raw for some classes of the society.
