This is not a typical Bollywood movie at all.I mean in how many Bollywood movies you have a female antagonist with shaved head?The first half is excellent.Top class action, a suspenseful plot while second half focuses more on comedy than action and is also quite good. Both comedy and action is new...no old worn out jokes repeated here.The Hero in this movie is as good with "Katana" as good he is with kicks and punches.He is not a police inspector or a thief,which has become a common trend in Bollywood in these days. In fact he is a common and good- hearted guy trying to save life of his wife.But his past always crosses his way.One day when he sees a man who exactly looks like him,a new hope emerges in heart.This movie is something like fresh air in Bollywood.If you are bored by robbery themed movies like Dhoom,Happy New Year or Kick then go and watch this one.Surely will impress you.

I said disappointing for a reason and that is, when you see a film starred by Ajay Devgan, Directed By Prabhu Deva, You naturally start to think that the film should be 'Interesting, A Must Watch' Should Be Good' that kind of thoughts easily comes to our mind because we expect something different something spectacular to be delivered, But if we can't get that then disappointment comes naturally and that is obvious.I'm not saying that the film was Bakwaas, Total Crap, Utterly Disgusting like the other reviewers here. But I'm sorry to say that it was truly not enough to be memorable one. Let me come to the details first..There are several Pros and Cons, I'll try to enlist as much as possible...So?Let's come to the points quickly...Cons....1. Music was Average {Could've been better}.2. First half was something fresh but looks dull with silly dialogs and witty expressions.3. I personally think Kunaal Roy Kapur's character was unnecessary and was totally wasted.4. Sonakshi Sinha was good in her part of role but seems to be repetitive.5. The Main Antagonist does not look like a villain at all. He misses the charm of Bad Character. {Prakash Raj Would've been a better choice}.6. Editing was fuzzy.7. The film has 2 Hour and 26 Mins of Run Time and that is something that feels dragged a little bit.Now the {+} points...Pros....1. New type of actions were great to watch. Action Sequences were executed properly.2. Ajay Devgan truly justified his role, I doubt if any other actor can carry the role to that level.3. Yami Gautam acted very well in her small but effective role.4. Even the leading bad lady, I mean Manasvi {She's damn hot really :D} did her job well.5. I did not like the first half, actually it was slow and dull but the second half was good and catches up the pace it needs.After all if you are either a Ajay Devgan or Prabhu Deva Fan then You should watch it, you will enjoy the film, but don't keep so much expectations as I did :{ you will be disappointed as much as I am now!!!

OK 1st of all I should say this if u compare this movie with Himmatwala,then Himmatwala looks a class movie #Story :- ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Story WTF is that??? they mixed Wanted,Rowdy Rathore, Chahat & many more films story & made this Film... wow **claps claps claps**#Direction :- what more can u expect from a director like Prabhu Deva?? Now a days In Bollywood Ram,Shayam,Jadhu,Madhu everyone grabbing a producer & directing films... I am giving u an example how much bad director is Prabhu Deva... In the 1st scene he is showing that villain killed a girl by shooting her on the head & after intermission when the same scene is got repeated, it is showed that the bullet hit her on the back... just before the intermission there was a fight sequence where at least 100 people came to kill Ajay Devgan but none of them carried even a small gun with them wow#Action :- Same typical South Indian action.... not even a single action looked realistic...#Acting :- One & only Ajay Devgan did some good job to save this film.... Sonakshi Sinha over-acting Ki Dukan Kunaal Roy Kapoor's comedy acting will make you bore... #Music :- Himesh Reshammiya proved that he is there to destroy Bollywood music Lastly, 1) Ajay Devgan's break dance... Ohh god I don't know what to say... I was like (what the f he is doing) when I was watching him doing break dance... 2) Sonakshi Sinha is a very unlucky girl in the movie... But whenever she saw Ajay Devgan naked, her luck changed really??? She again wanted to see him naked because she wants to marry a guy who is from America... In this process one day she saw AD doing (a Munna Bhai sequence on the film :D) & fall in love with him... This is how today's director shows love in the movie

Action Jackson is a story of Vishi and AJ fighting against bad goons and bashing them as they are hunting down AJ and his family..Every Movie has it's pluses and minuses but here biggest plus is superb performance by Ajay Devgan and in some parts by Manasvi Mamgai who impresses in her debut she can go far. Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam do the usual.It's direction where the film falls for Prabhudeva at least when compared to his own standard he gave in Wanted and Rowdy Rathore. Even the script is predictable but it's engaging screenplay which makes it quite intriguing. Dialogues are also worthy and even though film drags it never boring.Biggest drawback is the films predicability and the film at times films like there is no story only masala. This might be because the film was made keeping only the masses in mind.Overall it's a typical Masala Hindi film with good comedy thanks to Kunal Roy Kapoor, great action Devgns sword fight is to look out for, and some romance. A decent screenplay and good music makes it a fair venture. The film has no real good story, and this a complete critic free film because its a leave your brain at home affair.Go for it if you are Ajay Devgan or masala film fan.3/5* or 6/10
