How is the acting of the star cast?

Varun Dhawan has shown a new style in his career. His emotional and action packed performance is excellent. Keerthy Suresh and Vamika Gabbi have shown depth in their characters. Kirti’s grace and Vamika’s honesty make the film strong. Jackie Shroff’s acting and looks in the film are strong, but his character seems half-baked.

It seems that his character could have been presented better. Rajpal Yadav’s light comedy style leaves an impact in some scenes. Varun Dhawan and Zara Gianna’s chemistry is the most emotional aspect of the film. Zara has played the role of Varun Dhawan’s daughter in this film.

How is the direction?

Kalis’s direction is effective, but there are several shortcomings in the screenplay and storyline. However, in the film he has tried to raise social issues. The relationship between father and daughter has been presented in an emotional manner, but the foundation of the story is weak. The writers have created a complex and outdated story by assuming the audience is overly intelligent. Many parts are predictable and lack emotional connect. By the end the film seems to be dragging on. There is a lack of research in the kind of subject of the film. The film has plenty of action, but does not show coordination between comedy and emotion scenes.

The punch lines that attract the audience seem to be lacking in the film. Not much attention has been paid to the dialogues of the film. The main villain was not fully utilized. At the same time, Salman Khan’s cameo seems unnecessary. This film is a remake of Tamil ‘Theri’, but some scenes have been changed after the interval. Especially in the character of Vamika Gabbi.

How is the music of the film?

Talking about the songs of the film, apart from ‘Nain Matakka’ there is no such song which is memorable. Thaman’s background score is powerful and adds to the atmosphere of the film.

Final verdict of the film, watch it or not

Varun Dhawan’s new style, perfect coordination of action and emotion has been seen in this film. This film tries to touch social issues. The film, released on the occasion of Christmas, can be watched once, but due to the weak story and long screenplay, it does not seem very effective.
