If you can survive first half, you wont mind the second. Pass time flick.



You may look forward to:

• Akshay Kumar is the star of the movie. If he wouldn't star, i could not have survived the movie till its end. Its always a pleasure to see him fight, on that the effort gone in building the body, is worth appreciating. Its no six pack abs, but yet worth to drool over :) His appearance is apt and so are his action skills
• I do not personally like the role of Jackie Shroff, but he has acted really well. Its mostly drama for him, but he delivers quite well
• Jacqueline Fernandez is a sweetheart, with zero make up, she yet looks very adorable
• Shefali Shah and Ashutosh Rana, were in good supporting roles. They have a specific well defined caricatures, which they abide by pretty well
• Kiran Kumar has a decent appearance
• The sets are worth appreciation. They don't look artificial, they look pretty good. Nor do the commentators look bad, they do a good job too
• Second half of the movie is yet watchable, it has action and the pace of the movie catches up, drama is low and end is unpredictable. You keep wondering when two leads fight relentlessly, who gives up first. Karan Malhotra manages to keep up with the curiosity till the end

What you can sleep over:

• I expected a lot more from Sidharth Malhotra. I credit him full points for the effort he has put in building his rough and tough looks with toned body. But, he has nothing more to do in the film. He hardly has any dialogue, nor any quality action scenes. All he delivers is one power packed punch and that simply does it, irrespective of who the opponent is. He makes a fool of himself.Alas!
• Jackie Shroff's role as a coach to 'Monty' is just crap, he does nothing in the entire movie except for drama

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• First half of the movie is horribly slow, full of flash back stories, minus any motion
• The songs in the movie are like lullabies. They irritate you and almost puts you to sleep. The only no lullaby song was that of the item number by Kareena Kapoor, and oh my god what a disaster it is. Sad music, sad choreography, and even worse, Kareena Kapoor in her regular cliche item girl avatar, somebody please retire Kareena Kapoor from Bollywood!
• I am still wondering what kind of sport is R2F-Right to fight :P Boxing or wrestling? Lightweight or heavyweight? Its mixed martial arts, but its very bizarre to see some heavy weight fighters fighting with lightweight fighters. On the top of that, no two fighters other than the leads fight with each other. Its always the leads who fight the others. All rules jumbled up, making it a freak show on the face of it
• This movie comes with low entertainment, less impactful drama with a ludicrous presentation of sport

My Rating: 2.5/5
