Aiyaary Review: A decent and entertaining action thriller but definitely not the best one of Neeraj!
Movie: Aiyaary (UA): Action Thriller - Hindi
Positives:
Negatives:
Repeat value: Only for a few sequences
Overall, AIYAARY, the much-hyped action thriller is a film totally for the class audiences which can even entertain masses but given the fact that above anything else, it lacks the signature thrill quotient of Neeraj Pandey's previously acclaimed films, it might not go down well with everyone. The film clearly misses Neeraj's signature style of writing but as a whole he doesn't disappoint and due to many positives, he renders the film watchable and enjoyable to a certain extent. If for nothing else, just watch the film for Manoj Bajpayee: he just doesn't prove but instead certifies himself as one of the most talented Indian actors ever.
Positives:
- The performances of Manoj Bajpayee, Sidharth Malhotra and Naseeruddin Shah are simply the best thing about this film.
- Some dialogues are crisp and very well written.
- The action scenes are also good and well executed.
- The background score is amazing.
- Some thrills do work big time.
- Humour has been used very well throughout the film.
- The visual effects are surprisingly excellent.
- Cinematography is impressive.
- The first half starts on a terrific note and the surveillance sequences are gripping.
Negatives:
- The writing is uneven: The film at times relies a bit too much on subplots.
- The film doesn't have any major thrills or suspense to keep you glued totally.
- Rakul Preet's performance is decent but her character is not very well written.
- Like almost every Bollywood and Neeraj Pandey film, you'll find unwanted romance which slows the pace and affects the film negatively.
- The climax is good but the ending is dragged a bit.
- The editing is also disappointing as the film's length could've been easily trimmed.
