When we have a Prabhudeva movie what one expect is mere entertainment. The movie takes inspiration from Prabhudeva's own work - entertaining Rowdy Rathore and Rajkumar. We have our hero Ajay Devgan playing double role. One is small time goon - Vishy, in love with Sonakshi Sinha and other is Right hand of don - Action Jackson. Don's sister has fallen for Action Jackson and wants to own him by killing his wife - Yami Gautam. How Paths of two characters of Ajay Devgan cross each other and help Action Jackson save his wife from don forms the story line of the movie. The main story is around Action Jackson's attempt to save his wife from don and of course kill the don, then why spend almost one hour setting up the romance between Vishy and Sonakshi Sinha which adds nothing to the story. In fact it is a cheap track where an unlucky Sonakshi Sinha discovers her luck on seeing Vishy Pants down and from there on keep following him to catch him pants down and of course fall in love later. Vishy as a playful character is so fond of dancing that he dances even when fighting and believe me he is a complete misfit and a BIG FAIL in this Akshay & Salman kind of character. His non existent dancing talent and comic bone make things worse.Just before the interval we get a fight scene similar to Rowdy Rathore but impact is no where near it and is way Over the top than Rowdy Rathore pre-interval fight. There was a news before the release that Ajay Devgan learned sword fighting for the movie but even the sword carrying Action Jackson performs same over the top action with men flying and bouncing on being hit. Director really missed the chance here to include some good sword fights which at least would have given a USP to a routine Action masala fare. Background music seems to be lifted from 80's movie and was really irritating. Songs are bad not worth listening. Don in the movie looks like a D grade movie comedian rather than a menacing threat and the vamp played by Mansvi carries just one seductive look all throughout. Ajay Devgan looks cartoon as Vishy and is decent as Action Jackson as the character is in his comfort zone requiring an intense look. Sonakshi Sinha went hamming at places but was decent overall despite being repetitive. Yami Gautam doesn't have much to do.To sum it up i would say Prabhudeva breaks his streak of entertaining masala fare with this one. AVOIDABLE MOVIE
... View MoreAjay Devgn is not wrong choice to play AJ but he definitely should have avoided dance numbers and no so comedy scenes in 1st half of the movie. This movie had potential to be very serious type along with good humor which was there on 2nd part the jokes came along with movement in story so it's fine but jokes in 1st part was neither funny nor connected with the story. I do not understand the role and importance of Sonaksi in the movie, other two heroines were good. The vamp has done an excellent work considering it's her 1st movie. I loved the movie in 2nd part - and sometimes you need to have right tempo in a movie from start, this movie actually takes start after an hour and that's where none is interested. Prabhu is known for dance numbers, jokes but here they are too loud. Also some scenes will not attract family audience and Ajay is a star where families come in numbers as he does clean comedy (barring few :))Overall, if you are an Ajay fan then go thru torture of an hour in movie and then this film will take off and will keep you entertain till end.
... View MoreThis is not a typical Bollywood movie at all.I mean in how many Bollywood movies you have a female antagonist with shaved head?The first half is excellent.Top class action, a suspenseful plot while second half focuses more on comedy than action and is also quite good. Both comedy and action is new...no old worn out jokes repeated here.The Hero in this movie is as good with "Katana" as good he is with kicks and punches.He is not a police inspector or a thief,which has become a common trend in Bollywood in these days. In fact he is a common and good- hearted guy trying to save life of his wife.But his past always crosses his way.One day when he sees a man who exactly looks like him,a new hope emerges in heart.This movie is something like fresh air in Bollywood.If you are bored by robbery themed movies like Dhoom,Happy New Year or Kick then go and watch this one.Surely will impress you.
... View MoreAs I begin writing my views on Parbhudeva's Action Jackson, the thought that do come to mind is that how silly and crap a movie can be made with massive budget , high cost production and popular star cast ? There are movies like Queen and Gangs Of Wasseypur with high quality content and shoe string budget and yet managed to impress the audience. Why do spend money on useless script and horrible stories and yet actors like Ajay Devgan are working with him ?Action Jackson is a masala entertainment telling the story of 2 look-alike. Life changes when they cross each other's part.From the critical acclaimed Wanted and entertainers like Rowdy Rathore and R..Rajkumar to disaster movie like Ramaiya Vastavaiya in which the definition of Story, Script and direction does not fit it. In Action Jackson, you will wonder how amateurish can Prabhudeva get. Imagine a scene where Sonakshi Sinha wants her luck to change only if she can see Ajay Devagan's g-part again. Editing is horrible. The torture goes on for almost 3 hours. Art direction is good. Cinematography is nice. Songs are pathetic. Ajay Devgan disappoints and disappoints big time. An actor of his calibre should be doing better films.Overall, a pathetic film in every sense. Poor- 1/5www.facebook.com/Filmychowk
