Awful movie. Promotes and normalises misogyny and sexism to the fullest extent. There is something seriously wrong with Sandeep Vanga who thinks it is okay for people to get inspired by objectifying of women by protagonists in the movie along with hairdo and beardo. Never have I ever felt like leaving the theatre mid movie. The dialogues and fighting scenes are absolutely ludicrous. But playing emotional songs during the penultimate revenge scenes totally takes the cake. SHAMSHERA was much better than this sorry excuse for a movie. It was supposed to be about a complicated relationship shared by a father and son but it quickly turns into a one about normalising toxic and dominating behaviour of men.

I have been wanting to watch this movie as soon as I stumbled upon its trailer because it seemed wildly entertaining with Ajay Devgn's snarky little comments. But I saw the movie today only to realise that it is not just about entertaining the audience but also to give them a reality check that life is only finite and our family is the most precious asset in our possesion. It dawned on me that we ought to make our parents feel special because they are the reason we are here today and we owe it to them to ensure that we of all people should never be responsible for their misery. Our time on this planet is limited and the kindness is all we have for free. So let us be kind to all and redeem ourselves whenever we get the chance because good must always outweight and trump the bad. I am not qualified enough to rate the performances but I am immensely grateful to the writers for coming up with such a treat of epiphany.
