Rating: 3 Stars
Tiger Shroff and Jacqueline Fernandes-starrer “A Flying Jatt,” which is released Today. “A Flying Jatt” is an action-comedy fantasy and will see Tiger as a superhero, who discovers his hidden superpowers a tad late in life. Nevertheless, he protects the mankind from super villain named Raka, while Jacqueline plays his love interest and the damsel in distress. How Tiger’s character saves people from the evil is set to leave the viewers in splits. A Flying Jatt is a funny superhero drama that has ample of light moments. Its Kid-friendly nature seems to be the most salable point. A Flying Jatt has the ingredients that make an interesting superhero film. A section of the audience might find the film’s proceedings to be corny; however, the mass audiences and kids might take a liking for the film. The extended weekend will help the film reap dividends at the Box-Office.
Tiger Shroff appears in his third film with this one and he will charm you with his cuteness. He is convincing as the un-confident superhero at start but his weird boyish charm, a poor dialogue delivery surely come in the way. Nobody can challenge him when it comes to the super air-kicks and hence his action scenes look quite good, nonetheless the actor still has long way to go, to come up in the top league. Jacqueline Fernandez as his love interest has a limited role. She is overly chirpy and shows no signs of efforts taken for this role. Her highlight in this film is clearly the sexy moves on ‘Beat Pe Booty’
Amrita Singh once again turns the overbearing Punjabi mom after 2 States. She is screechy in certain scenes and the whole drunk act that she does is slightly boring. Gaurav Pandey who was also seen as Varun Dhawan’s friend in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania does a good job in this film as Tiger’s brother. His comic timing is excellent. Kay Kay Menon’s villainous character is highly caricaturish. He is wearing weirdly blingy ties and if you could pay attention beyond those, you would realize his mean look is the same as that in ABCD. Nathan Jones as Raka looks scary enough thanks to his huge structure itself. His ‘Surprise Surprise’ line although doesn’t come across as a threat much but seems rather funny. With no dialogues, he is just expected to open his jaws, widen his eyes and that’s your villain.
Tiger’s first two films — “Heropanti” and “Baaghi” — were box office hits and with “A Flying Jatt,” the actor is set to create a record of back-to-back hits. This is the first time Tiger and ace choreographer-turned-director Remo D’Souza have teamed up for a film. The dancer duo, with their amazing comic timings and daredevil stunts, have certainly made it into the hearts of the movie-goers.
Some scenes are hilarious such as Tiger dancing to Sunny Leone’s ‘Baby Doll‘. While the first half moves away with all the fun frolic of Flying Jatt finding the right costume to coping with his fear of heights and his funny encounters when he goes to save the world keep you entertained. The film goes downhill from its second half taking a mighty tumble. Also the climax is a royal mess. Remo sort of loses his grip on the plot and makes it into a public service announcement to curb pollution. A Flying Jatt is too silly for adults but could promise enough fun for kids. Overall it is a onetime watch movie this weekend.
