IMDb: 5.5
Director: Siddharth Anand
Writers: Sujoy Ghosh (screenplay), Suresh Nair (screenplay)
Stars: Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, Pavan Malhotra
Rating: 3.8/5 stars
"Bang Bang" is an unbridled, indulgent treat for action movie fans, something unprecedented and hitherto unseen on an Indian film canvas. Yes, Indian cinema, mostly Bollywood does boast of some better action films, with more fluid story-arcs and characters with more depth. But where slick, modern-style action is concerned, no movie even comes within a whisker of "Bang Bang". As far as its fight scene choreography, stunts, chase scenes, shootouts, action set pieces, and overall look and feel go, the film is leagues ahead of its contemporaries and other action classics to emerge from the Indian shores.
Agreed, just as as a stand alone film, this one might not float the boat of a section of moviegoers, who aren't fans of pure action films in the league of Stallone and Schwarzenegger's movies. It especially won't work for the typical Bollywood viewer seeking mindless masala entertainment, nor will it augur well with pseudo- intellectual types who can't accept a movie for what it is.
But for the rest of the audience who'll go in expecting nothing but a hell of a good time - particularly for action junkies - "Bang Bang" is nothing short of pure, unadulterated, adrenaline-fueled entertainment. And to top it all, you have one of the industry's coolest superstars and finest actors, Hrithik Roshan, essaying the role of the quintessential action hero whose witty quips and intoxicating flair pack as much punch as his bravado and death- defying stunts. While the other actors notably have nothing much to do and Katrina Kaif's only job is to look vivacious while playing damsel in distress - although we aren't complaining - Hrithik more than makes up for the rest of the cast's lackluster roles by carrying the entire film on his broad shoulders with aplomb and panache. Wherever the script falters and the direction becomes messy (and Anand does mess up more than a few scenes clearly demonstrating that he has miles to go before being confident of handling a film of such scale and magnitude), Roshan appears with unmatched grace and unassuming charm to save the day.
Though not without its faults, "Bang Bang" will indubitably assume a special place as being a first-of-its-kind action film (no, the bloated, over-the-top, illogical, total piece of hokum that was "Dhoom 3" does not even remotely qualify) for Bollywood and Indian cinema in general.
