This film has an average premise,great budget,excellent actor and a star and to top it all it is a joy watching the cinematography of this movie but wish if the screenplay was good wish if there was less of melodrama and a tad bit less of bullet time but only if you could wish.
The story is about a Himalayan mountaineer who is in deep love with his surroundings. A damsel from Bulgaria who is in deep love with her surroundings enters into the story and meets our tattooed mountaineer. He gets the damsel pregnant out of wedlock. When a baby is about to arrive either it creates happiness or there are some serious discussion happenings,in this case it is the latter.
This is a film which promises some great viewing but fails the expectations and leaves you cringing. The editing could have been sleek like almost 30 to 40 mins could have been chopped off. There are a lot of characters which either could have been avoided or they could have made the same point in much less screen time then what they are given.
If this film could have been directed by a seasoned director it could seriously have made a huge change.Yes I am saying that the direction is sloppy, going up and down, loose and tight, fast and slow ,its a two paced cricket wicket to give an analogy.
The music is patchy as well. The background is good and yes it is not the usual, songs sprinkled all over, there are a separate background scores which truly are great and it is worth mentioning.
Now lets come to an important factor the VFX the CGI and the action which is the best thing about the film. No these are not in par with the world cinema but are better then world cinema in some of the scenes.This film can be called as the new barometer for the action scenes in India.Some of the best chase sequence one might see in Bollywood are in this film.
The film seems to be seriously inspired from some Hollywood flicks primarily "Taken" and a very specific Bollywood film.(You know which it is).
In acting department Ajay is great as always.Playing a 4 grade fail, a lower middle class person in "Drishyam" and a mountaineer in this film shows the persons variance. The supporting cast is great as well in patches and sometimes not needed as well.
Overall this is a film which has a screenplay that can have a time of 90-120 mins. The film tries to play the favorite tried and tested emotional card of Bollywood which it fails. The film tries seriously hard to invoke emotions but it fails almost most of the times.
The film is like a sports player which shows immense talent but is not able to convert that onto the field and that is what hurts the viewer the most.
