The film presents a well-conceived plot with thoughtful social messages, addressing the concerns of common people. On paper, it had all the elements for success: a story rooted in relevant issues, and the presence of a superstar who has consistently delivered larger-than-life performances. It seemed like the perfect combination to bring the message to the masses in a crowd-pleasing, high-octane manner. However, what unfolded on screen was a disappointment. Despite the potential, the film failed to deliver the expected punch. While there are a few moments crafted to appease the superstar’s fanbase, they are scattered and feel disconnected from the larger narrative. These fan-service scenes are brief sparks in an otherwise dull and uninspired execution, leaving much to be desired. The core problem lies in the mismatch between the director’s vision and the superstar’s signature style. The director aimed for a more thoughtful, grounded approach, but this clashed with the audience’s expectations of the superstar’s usual persona—resulting in a film that feels caught in between two worlds. The action sequences lack the energy and impact that fans crave, and the social messages, while noble, are delivered in a way that feels flat and underwhelming. Ultimately, this is a film that, while commendable in its ambition, misses the mark. It’s neither the hard-hitting, socially conscious drama it could have been, nor the crowd-pleasing spectacle it was expected to be. A match not made in heaven, leaving viewers with the feeling of a missed opportunity.

Decent film. Must watch in theatre.
