    An Entertaining Underrated Thriller - MAC Reviews

    Ayushman Khurrana delivers what he promises! Dont know why this movie not worked on the Box Office. Had the film came from South Industry, people would have made it a huge Block Buster

    +ves : The plot of the film is really unique and fresh. Acting performances is really good. Ayushman really looked like an action hero. Jaideep Ahlawat really steals the show with his performance as usual. Music is average. BGM was good. Dialogues were brilliantly written especially that comic punches between serious scenes. Dark Humour was used brilliantly.

    -ves : Screenplay was a bit off. It could have been much better & crisp especially in the first half. Action scenes could have been much better.

    To conclude, its a good movie with some unique storyline. You should definitely give it a try. It wont disappoint you.

    Fast Paced Storyline it's Worth Weekend Watch - itsbymayank

    Ayushmann - Powerful Performance, Ayushmann Khurana Choose Something different kinda story. (fresh one)

    Jaideep Ahlawat - fine performance, delivers his best.

    Even if there were no songs in this film, it would have worked.

    A different storyline and perfect performance by both lead actors ayushmann khurana and Jaideep Ahlawat.

    Every scene has been played very well, it was not very long, that's why it was better.

    Story Twists and Turns are fitted perfectly with a Good Action Sequences and Cinematography.

    Just because of Both Lead Actors it's a Entertaining Movie.

    It's a Worth Weekend Watch.

    Review By itsbymayank - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya (Review of An Action Hero)

    Underrated was the word that first came to mind.

    Now this is a good movie. Aayushmann Khurana was good in it, Jaideep Alahawat was good. The cinematography and locations were high quality. The BGM was still playing in my head after watching this film. It was bomb! But why did this film bomb? It's unfortunate that a film like this failed so badly at the BO. It's one of the better films in a line of bad films and remakes from Bolly in the year 2022.

    The marketing team behind this should be avoided for future projects at all costs. Absolute bunch of clowns who let such a good film go unnoticed by the public.

    It's tense, it's gripping, well directed, beautifully filmed and most importantly it is fresh. It pains to see good films fail and mediocre affairs *Cough* BB2 *Cough*, *Cough* D2 *Cough* become super hit.

    Unpredictable fun package to chill out...!!!

    Anirudh Iyer takes a scenic route with simple satirical comedy and sensible action sequences along with well balanced screenplay keeping audience glued until climax... An interesting part is that he doesn't fear to expose media's puppetry show or Bollywood's underworld connection or dominant local political goons ,what else one need in mainstream movies .... When it comes to Zara hatke entertainment Anand L Rai plays an ample role be it direction or production,needs a Big round of applause... Breaking all the stereotypes of bollywood theory Ayushman doesn't fear to explore inspite "Anek" disaster this "Doctor G" manages to surprise audience in every aspects of film that falls flat to nepotism...Kudos to the true actor... Scripted by neeraj yadav the sudden twists and turns along with chaotic journey gives a new journey for ur weekend thirst for entertainment...

    A mediocre attempt at a Bollywood Guy Ritchie

    I saw - An action hero, in the theatre. The movie was definitely engaging, but it is not a visual spectacle or stunning by any means to warrant a theatre watch. It would be a good OTT movie. So, for people thinking about watching it, I would suggest to wait for an OTT release.

    I felt the movie had a Guy Ritchie feel to it, with all the gangesters and the black comedy. And it was pretty well executed as well. I am fully willing to let go of logic etc. In an action movie, IF, the characters and the plot is engaging enough. The problem with this movie is that both are very loosely written and shot. So, a lot of the idiosyncrasies, black comedy, lack of logic etc. Don't work at all since other than Ayushmann's character, you don't have a connection, feel or bond towards another character. This is a major drawback of the movie. Ayushmann has done well, the rest of the cast is pretty so so. Not a lot of laugh out moments, but it is an engaging movie and a timepass watch.
