Action Jackson





Cast: Ajay Devgan, Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam,Kunaal Roy Kapur, Manasvi Mamgai and Anand Raj(Xavier)
Director: Prabhudheva
Genre: Action, Drama


Expect below negative, you will end up enjoying it :)



You may look forward to:


  • Exotic locations. Yet again, dancing around the trees :D Nevertheless, NZ and Bangkok showcased very beautifully
  • Humor of the movie isn't bad, you do laugh out,certainly more than a giggle in various scenes, specially ones post interval
  • Both the lead actresses: Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam, looked absolutely gorgeous. Any time they are on screen opposite Ajay Devgan :), you cant take your eyes off them
  • Ajay Devgan, did quite a good job in action scenes, this movie is all about action in the end. And he has worked hard, which you can see
  • Prabhudheva tried to give his best, if one notices, you could see, every action scene was set differently from another. Once in rain, then the other like an International take with slow western background scores :D He tried to make all the action scenes look good
  • Kunaal Roy Kapur is his idiot best, he does manage to make you laugh time to time




What you can sleep over:


  • Anand Raj didn't look convincing in the beginning as an International criminal, however as the movie advanced, he does manage to pull it off
  • Music was very okayish. Forgettable. Thankfully not an ear sore





The dampeners you should be aware of:

  • Manasvi Mamgai is the biggest disappointment of the movie. She dominated the second half,next to Ajay Devgan, and she sucks big time. I wonder how did she manage to get selected for this role which requires to not just be a vamp but also a sultry seductress!! All she does is to expose her chest, every now and then, where at a point i wonder, why does she even wear clothes. Looks very average, rather a little slutty, going by her character and acts very okayish, spoils the second half of the movie entirely
  • So what did not really work for the movie? If there are all the masalas and these many pluses and efforts put by everyone....!!!! Well, the era of mindless action flicks seems to be have finally gone from Bollywood. If this movie was released a year back, would have succeeded. People detest the same shit which they loved one year back. This movie was made at a wrong time or rather miscalculated by Prabhu Deva. And that's the only minus of the movie. Perhaps a bigger name like SRK can only make it look like a box office hit, if not rated by the audience :)





My Rating: 2.5/5 (An extra 0.5 for all the effort visibly gone into the making of the movie)
