Thugs of Hindostan (TOH)
Ever since the starcast of the movie was announced, I was eager to watch AB Sr. & AK coming together on big screen but sadly it didn't live up to the expectations & from the first day heard all sorts of negative things and comic memes about the movie. So, I went to watch the movie on backdrop of all negative things heard about it and having watched the movie came out of the theatre feeling that the movie has been over bashed by the critics and audience and the movie surely isn't a masterpiece or a blockbuster but not a worst movie too as there are many worse movies than TOH.
From the director of movies like D3 & Tashan, Vijay Krishna Acharya is a director who has failed to deliver good movies despite of getting great actors. Yet again he fails to give justice to the movie due to his poor direction. Coming to acting, Amitabh Bachchan is an actor par brilliance and excellence. The Star of the Millenium has given his 200% to the movie and performed his part brilliantly. His entry scene will surely give you goosebumps and will remind you of "Khuda Gawah". Such is the aura and charm of the person, he has done every bit from performing stunts, dancing to swordfighting with utmost ease at the age of 76. He is surely the hero of the movie who will be remembered for a long time for his role Khudabaksh. Second is Aamir Khan, who said that he acted in the movie simply because he loved his character. He played his role of Firangi Mallah with very ease and utmost grace. He is truely the Thug of the movie and is very hard to believe which side he is on during the movie. The 2 stalwarts of Bollywood have tried their best to save the sinking ship. The comic elements in the movie are very well played by Aamir and truely supported by Zeeshan Ayyub who portrays his friend in the movie. Fatima Sana Shaikh does well in her role as Zafira. Katrina Kaif as usual is used for glamour purpose and is wasted. She barely has 3-4 dialogues in the movie & is only used for 2 songs. Art direction and cinematography is mind blowing. The songs are bad and except "Vashmalle" nothing excites. The CGI is good not great. The action scenes are also beautifully shot, the efforts done by the actors are clearly visible in the fight scenes.
Overall the movie is a one time watch because of Amitabh & Aamir and some different style of movie. This movie is not a copy of Pirates of Caribbean but Vijay Krishna Acharya was majorly inspired by it which resulted to the failure of the movie. A movie which could have been a masterpiece becomes an ordinary movie due to the poor direction and the story. IMDB Rating of 3.6/10 is too harsh for the movie.
