This could have been such a rollicking film, especially for kids -it had all the ingredients, and an engaging start, fronted by a hero who is light on his feet. A Flying Jatt movie review: Tiger Shroff is afraid of her ‘bebe’and tongue-tied in front of the ‘babe’Jacqueline Fernandez.
But he also needs a plot to help him fly all the way. Our Jatt Singh-Is-King-of-Kings superhero needs nothing but his ‘kada’: kryptonite is so last century. The song-and-dances, bunged in just to show off Tiger’s limber moves, are a drag: Bollywood superheroes can save the world only after the ‘naach-gaana’ is over. And without the funny bits which kept the pre-interval parts afloat, the faults start glaring. Except for a couple of effective scenes, the enormous Jones is a bore. A bad guy who fattens on garbage and waste is a great stroke, but to keep belabouring the point is pointless. Jatt is a reluctant superhero who fights crime and protects people. The film starts getting preachy and heavy. With Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nathan Jones, Kay Kay Menon. Fernandez has to jump up and down and squeal girlishly, when she is not dancing alongside the Jatt, or not being taken on an aerial survey, all of which she delivers on.Īlso read | A Flying Jatt box office collection day 1: Tiger Shroff’s Janmashtami release earns Rs 7.10 crore And from Gaurav Pandey as his brother-cum-best-pal. He gets able support from Singh as the proud Sikhni with superpowers of her own: no baddie ever invented can be a match for Bollywood moms. WATCH VIDEO: A Flying Jatt and 5 reasons why you should watch it And because he is still a work-in-progress actor to whom fumbling and bumbling and being awkward comes naturally, he is a good fit for his character, even if it’s cobbled together from familiar caped crusaders: bits of Superman and Spiderman and our own home-grown Krrish. Tiger Shroff is a thing of beauty when he flexes his splendid, impossibly toned muscles. Because, you know, that’s what superheroes do: once they are in costume-and-cape and armed with their super-powers, we know all will be well. When the Flying Jatt’s mum sends him off with the classic ‘jaa, duniya ko bacha’, we laugh out loud. The pollution, we soon learn, is Enemy No One, riding on the back of the greedy capitalist Malhotra (Kay Kay Menon, camping it up madly) and the evil monster-dipped-into-the-vat-of-chemicals Raka (Nathan Jones, boasting an old-fashioned Bollywood name for a modern-day ‘gora’ villain).
