Share with us your experience of watching Sooryavanshi. Sooryavanshi releases on November 5, 2021. This shatters the expectations I never had after the 4-minute trailer.
Sooryavanshi Movie Review: The Last WordĪll said and done, Sooryavanshi boils down to be a badly done spoof of multiple Rohit Shetty (and other similar templates) movies. The idea of syncing in the sounds of firing bullets with the background score, though already-tried, is slick and blends in well. Tip Tip Barsa Paani remains to be the best part of the film bringing back the nostalgic chemistry of Akki-Kat. My reports hinted at Arijit Singh’s song being removed from the film but it was Najaa instead, and that’s an extremely poor decision because that would’ve made things a bit easier. A classic case of the director refusing to change the already proved template with a failed hope of creating similar magic. It’s like selling a prototype after the wild success of your hero products. This has everything Rohit always tries to run far away from like shoddy VFX, lame dialogues, forced emotions. Rohit Shetty, in an attempt of giving Sooryavanshi the best of both worlds (Singham & Simmba), fails to create its novelty factor. (Pic Credit: IMDb) Sooryavanshi Movie Review: Direction, Music
Each one of them is either a miscast or lost. Gulshan Grover, Jackie Shroff, Kumud Mishra, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sikandar Kher, Nikitin Dheer leave any memorable mark. None of the actors from the supporting cast i.e. If you ask someone without any knowledge of Bollywood to watch Bharat, Sooryavanshi & show him/her a Katrina Kaif scene from any of the two movies, he/she won’t be able to tell from what film it’s. She rarely adds any value to the story and looks like she has shot this simultaneously with Salman Khan’s Bharat. Katrina Kaif in Tip Tip Barsaa Paani > Katrina Kaif in the entire film. His whole act is divided into two parts, the first kind you’ve already seen in movies like Baby, Holiday, Bell Bottom & the other kind you’ve already seen in De Dana Dan, Phir Hera Pheri & Bhaagam Bhag. Never thought Akshay Kumar would prove to be the Pineapple of Rohit Shetty’s half-baked Pizza. Sooryavanshi Movie Review: Star Performance He’s even robbed of a dedicated climax sequence with Singham stealing the limelight.Įverything about this one is an unsolved mess from cringe-filled preachy jingoistic scenes to Akshay’s annoying character-trait of forgetting names (which has already been hilariously nailed by Paresh Rawal in Awara Paagal Deewana). Sooryavanshi is picking Akshay Kumar from Neeraj Pandey’s world and throwing him amid Rohit Shetty’s ‘car flying universe with lines worse than Housefull 4. Simmba was contrastingly different than Singham and hence it clicked beautifully well. This is a classic example of a director refusing to change the winning formula hence losing the essence of originality. If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve already seen all the better parts of Simmba & Singham. The 4-minute trailer painfully impacts the excitement you’d else have for the cop-cameos.
All of this only reminds you of how Neeraj Pandey’s school of filmmaking isn’t an easy one to crack. The very important helicopter chase scene’s VFX looks straight out of a low-budget-high-ambitions movie. CGI putting your PowerPoint presentation to shame. This also exposes Shetty’s weak link in an extremely brutal way i.e. The intent of milking the popularity of Singham & Simmba’s success to introduce another cop in the universe is so visible that it steals the spotlight from Sooryavanshi. But, unfortunately, that’s how time works, we’re in living in a world where movies like Singham & Simmba already exist. Rohit Shetty has fallen for his own trap, he has made a film which he could’ve directed 5-7 years ago while sleepwalking and it would’ve been a success. (Pic Credit: IMDb) Sooryavanshi Movie Review: Script Analysis With help from his old colleagues Simmba (Ranveer Singh) & Singham (Ajay Devgn), Sooryavanshi races against the time, hoping to stop the ticking bomb avoiding a lethal disaster. Sooryavanshi, along with managing his family issues with wife Riya (Katrina Kaif), investigates the missing RDX which, they get a leak about, could be used for multiple bomb blasts in Mumbai. Veer Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar) is handled the mission by his superior Kabir Shroff (Jaaved Jaaferi), who though was the star of solving the ’93 bombing case but he still regrets some of the choices he made. Raising the curtain with ’93 blasts in Mumbai, the story focuses on a major chunk of explosive material left from the blast, linking it with a couple of fugitives who managed to escape back then.
