An Action Hero starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat was released in cinemas on December 2 and here's what the Janta's verdict is on the film!
An Action Hero is Anirudh Iyer's directorial debut which delves into celebrity culture and the fickle side of fame. Maanav(Ayushmann Khurrana) is a Bollywood star who has just rejected a biopic of a gangster because he wants to stay away from the underworld. Ironically, he's filming in Haryana, and while enjoying his new ride post-pack-up, he ends up accidentally killing Vicky Solanki, younger brother of a notorious gangster and the Municipal Councillor of Mandothi village, Bhoora Solanki(Jaideep Ahlawat), who now wants to avenge his brother's death and kill Maanav. What then ensues is a cat-and-mouse chase that forces Maanav to run for his life.
A cameo from the OG action hero Akshay Kumar to topical jokes that actually made the audience laugh and also pointed out the ongoing state of affairs in our country, An Action Hero proved to be more than just a mainstream Bollywood film for the Janta.
The movie that manages to bring the film industry and its perception quite close. Close enough to make them face each other and the impact is as smooth as the effortless flow of emotion from the two actors. Writing is fluid. #AnActionHero@ayushmannk@cypplOfficial
The best part about An Action Hero's comedy is that the jokes were actually landing unlike most comedies lately. AND they were topical. Still laughing at the jibes taken at Arnab, Rubika and Aman Chopra. Also the satire on the society delivered through Ravish Kumar was hilarious.
Saw this film (An Action hero) without any expectations. I think this is the best Hindi film of the year. It had a protagonist who embraced the grey and an antagonist with a motive which was justified. This included with a crazy pace and a spectacular bgm and cinematography. 9/10 pic.twitter.com/AuGGnZZjUj
Had a blast watching 'An Action Hero' - a hilarious satire of many current events surrounding Bollywood, our news media and the fickle nature of fandom. And the action kicks ass too. This is now my favorite @ayushmannk movie.
An Action Hero (2022) by Anirudh Iyer. A total surprise. So unlike Aayushmann's body of work and Jaideep Ahlawat on a mission makes it a blast all the way. A smartly defiant & satirical meta black comedy packed with action that works to the tee. pic.twitter.com/lE4sxveQVo
There's a scene in #AnActionHero where when @ayushmannk's character Maanav is told that he's just an 'action hero' on screen, the latter quips, 'Waqt badal gaya hain, ladna maine seekh liya hain'. And boy, it's such a fun to watch Ayushmann pack a punch in this space. pic.twitter.com/YUmUAmKxA3
The film is titled An Action Hero - how can one make a film with that title without the presence of Hindi Cinema's Original Action Hero - Akshay Kumar. Akshay has already shot for an important appearance in the film, which brings about a change in Ayushmann's character 🤩❤️ pic.twitter.com/nXvcWXkE2O
Watch An Action Hero. Really intelligent writing, humour, satire, crisp editing, top class action and direction. Anirudh Iyer is mix of Sriram Raghvan, Anurag Kashyap and Edgar Wright. Bollywood Zindabad. Keep making these original films
#AnActionHero With a name like this, it has enough action and heroic moments. The twist in the tale in the last 30 minutes is unexpected. Sadly, the film drags in the second half. This 132-minute long film should have been shorter by at least 20 minutes https://t.co/uACetWAWyF
This one is just amazing. Ayushmann and Jaideep Ahlawat are so good and the chase between them will entertain you from start to end. No unnecessary love-angle and sticking to this amazing chase. A must-watch. B'wood is giving hopes.https://t.co/C1LdKglnt1
An action hero: great fun movie to watch. action,crime, humour. Some loopholes but still a good movie to watch in theatres. Proves movies can be made without any song or actress. Overall: 4/5
