Here's an action film that takes itself seriously--at least.....
The fights ,the punches , the shootings , the broken bones--all seem real.....
Unlike Dabangg and Singham , where there is no seriousness to the dhishum dhishum , and the film seems to be mocking itself , and also the audience , this film is a no holds barred blood and revenge story.
And the action happens at an electric , breathless pace....
But when the action is not happening , there are moments of romance too.....
.....And those are provided by Genelia D'souza , who plays a bold and mod ' forward ' city girl , but without any vulgarity ; instead displays a joie de vivre and charm that instantly makes her performance endearing.....
The action is provided by the confrontation between two goodlooking bodybuilders--John Abraham and Vidyut Jammwal ; John is the cop from NCP ( no , not Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress party , but Narcotics control police ) , and Vidyut is the drug smuggler . Both have their motives for revenge on each other , but only one is bound to survive....those are the rules of the game......
While John is bound by his duty and his passion for his job , Vidyut is bound by his greed to control the narcotics business alone--and neither is willing to back down......
....Which leads to some real shootings , killings , murders and even rape.....
As Vidyut crosses all limits , breaking the old unwritten laws by which policemen and criminals don't target each others families , both begin to lose their close relations and friends to the mayhem.....
.....Making it a fight to the finish......
The photography is excellent and the songs are hummable , and John is looking all brawn and muscle .
However ,unlike Dabangg and Singham , it does not look like a film made for the masses ; John looks too westernised , and so does Genelia , and so does the pace , rhythm and look of the film....
But the classes wont mind it at all.....
Verdict--okay .
