Review of Aiyaary

Aiyaary (2018)
3/10
Huge Letdown
17 February 2018
I am one of those moviegoer who watch 3 or 4 movie in an year and that just for the sake of director rather than actor. Now Neeraj Pandey is one of those director whom I trust most specially when the genre is thriller. Now when I watched it's trailer with Anupam, Manoj Vajpayee and Naseer Sahab in it my expectations sky rocketed. I thought It will be the best ever of Neeraj Pandey. So is it.

NO. and that is a big NO It seemed that Neearj Pandey begin shooting with incomplete script in hand. He started with corruption in weapon deals so you get that the main premise of the movie is based on it. Than focus shifted to how honest officers are suffering and are like pawns for system. Than again story moved towards mentor and student conflict of thoughts and at climax it feels like we are watching a totally different movie. It seemed like screenplay is switching again and again.

In baby too there is no story but different missions and working of raw is on display . But last two mission of sushant singh and finale were fantastic. Here finale is shocking but not in positive way. Last 15 minutes is not even connected to premise and dont know what maker is thinking. Even name is not justified and they forcibly justify title by adding one or two scenes of flashback of protagonists.

Acting wise Manoj Vajpayee is brilliant and if his character was written smartly than it can be a landmark performance. Siddharth is like coming out straight away from KJO movie as he looked dapper and thats all. Anupam and Naseer it's first time that Neeraj underutilized veterans. Why he selected them for irrelevant roles is not understandable. Rakul preet kaur is there for just sake of it. Pooja chopra is just there to fill the space. Kumud Mishra though is really proving his talent again and again. Adil Hussain is okay.

So it;s very disappointing to see this kind of movie from brilliant director but I keep my finger crossed that we will not have another RGV in making.
