I just watched Sunny Deol’s new movie Jaat on Netflix. And it is a South Indian action film.
I’m not trying to be rude.
That’s just how the movie is. If you don’t enjoy South Indian-style action films, you probably won’t like this one either.
There’s loud background music every few minutes, fights all the time, and big, dramatic dialogues.
The story is the same old thing—a hero fighting to save poor people from a bad guy.
Even the faces of the villains and other characters look very familiar. It feels like I’ve seen them all in other movies before.
The film tries to surprise you with twists till the end, but they don’t really work. It looks like they just want to make the hero look super powerful.
But I get it.
These kinds of movies are made for theatres. That’s where people cheer loudly when the hero enters, say his dialogues, or beats up the villain.
It’s meant to be fun with a big group of people.
But when you watch it alone on a phone or tablet, it feels different.
You start thinking too much.
You notice all the mistakes. You wonder how the stunts break all the rules of science.
You laugh at the bad graphics. The movie feels too long. The jokes don’t work.
If I judge it seriously, here’s what I think:
- The story is weak and has random twists just to show the hero is great
- The actors say their lines without much feeling
- The action scenes are not realistic at all
- The movie is too long
- The comedy is not funny—it’s kind of awkward
But still, if you stop thinking too much and watch it in a noisy theatre, it might be a lot of fun.
Seeing Sunny Deol back in action, with fans shouting and clapping, could be a great time.
So in the end, it really depends on how you watch it.
