- VarunOctober 19, 2024Definitely a solid banger but one I have slightly mixed feelings about. I tried going in blind but I heard that the John Wick director is going to remake this film and it’s been getting tons of praise so I did have high expectations. The beginning is a bit weak because I found the usual Bollywood romance very cringe and also the first action scene started off with tons of cuts and zero one takes which I’ve been conditioned to expect from newer action films like John Wick, The Raid, Extraction, Monkey Man, etc. so I got a bit disappointed. However there’s nothing inherently wrong with cuts and it gets used very effectively as the movie progresses. Then it just gets absolutely brutal and every single scene packs a strong punch in your guts and emotions. It takes very unpredictable turns which keeps you on your toes and also sets it apart from other traditional action films. The fight choreography in such a narrow Indian railway is brilliant. The gory and eye-wincing practical effects are top notch, you won’t find any garbage Bollywood VFX here. The score was pretty damn good, although I think the sound balancing for home streaming isn’t very great as I had to constantly change the volume, with the punches in some scenes sounding weak and the music in certain scenes being deafeningly loud. The actor who played the villain, Raghav Juyal, is actually a professional dancer who found his fame competing and anchoring in multiple Indian dance shows and I’ve had such a great time following his dance career for many years so I was really thrilled to see him making such a good acting debut. It’s Lakshya Lalwani’s debut as well and he killed the role with his badass aura. The main issue that keeps this from being a masterpiece is the extremely silly plot armour at multiple points, it doesn’t happen much in the action scenes itself but more so when a person ends up captured. I assure you it doesn’t take away from the enjoyable plot, but it is an area where you’d be better off lowering your expectations. I think all the villains played their roles well and kept things entertaining as they eventually become the hunted. I’m super proud of Bollywood for finally caring about crafting an actually good action movie that doesn’t shy away from brutality and uses minimal cgi. The industry needs to continue making bold moves like this and enhancing audience tastes beyond melodramatic masala. Despite the flaws, I think this is an awesome carnage feast for the eyes of any action movie fan and would highly recommend everyone check it out!
- Christopher A. MullinaxApril 4, 2025`tried watching this and couldn’t make it through the first 10 minutes. This movie was horrible.
- Matthias_812April 2, 2025Another visceral, high-octane action thriller that delivers an unrelenting barrage of brutal combat sequences but falters in its attempt to provide anything deeper. The plot, a barebones framework riddled with clichés, exists solely to string together the fights, leaving little to invest in emotionally or intellectually. The hero’s journey is predictable, the villains are faceless bags of flesh, and does little to elevate the story beyond a generic over the top action narrative. Initially, this relentless brutality is thrilling, as the combat is heightened to almost superhuman levels of endurance and spectacle. However, the lack of variety in the sequences makes the action grow tiresome by the midpoint- when the title card hits. What starts as an energy rush morphs into repetitive and numbing chaos, with few standout moments to break the monotony. While some will be entertained by hyper-stylized, over the top fight scenes I've grown a little tired of the style. Without a more engaging narrative or dynamic pacing, the film feels more like a highlight reel of combat than a cohesive story. Don’t expect much beyond the blood-soaked surface.
- jackmeatMarch 2, 2025My quick rating - 7.8/10. This flick has rightfully earned its spot as the featured trailer of the week, setting the stage for an action-packed spectacle that will keep you glued to the screen. From the moment the film begins, you're thrust into a relentless barrage of hand-to-hand combat that lasts a solid 45 minutes before the main storyline even begins. This movie effortlessly transitions from a Die Hard scenario on a train to a full-throttle revenge flick, thanks to the introduction of a one-man army portrayed by Lakshya. The plot kicks off with an army commando who discovers that his true love is being forced into an arranged marriage. Determined to derail this plan, he boards a New Delhi-bound train, setting the stage for a daring quest. However, the real action begins when a gang of knife-wielding thieves terrorizes the passengers. The commando springs into action, taking on the criminals in a brutal, death-defying kill spree to save the innocent lives around him. What should have been a typical commute transforms into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride. Lakshya's performance as the commando is nothing short of spectacular. His portrayal of a man who abandons all rules to save the ones he loves is both intense and captivating. The sheer brutality of the fight scenes, combined with the high stakes of the situation, makes for an unforgettable viewing experience. The choreography is top-notch, with each fight sequence more intense and creative than the last. I found it crazy it was able to maintain such a high level of tension and excitement throughout its runtime. The film doesn't shy away from showcasing the raw, visceral nature of combat, and the body count is definitely something to behold. If I were still doing body count movie reviews like back in high school, this film would undoubtedly rank high on the list. In summary, this is a must-watch for action enthusiasts. With its relentless combat sequences, compelling storyline, and a standout performance by Lakshya, this film delivers on all fronts. It's a brutal, exhilarating ride that will leave you breathless and eager for more.
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025Went in only knowing it was an action movie that had some hype behind it. Boy was I not expecting that turning point. It was entertaining beforehand but went to a whole other level. Some truly gnarly violence that had me looking away a few times. This was fun and fresh.
