My review of Shamshera: TORTURE
I cannot understand how can they okay a product so dated and this bad? The movie drags and tests your patience beyond measures. This is a torture which lasts 2hours and 40min. When interval came, I was cribbing that there is half the movie still left to torture me. Ranbir kapoor..what happened? Forgotten how to act? The guy says dialogues like a robot and sleep walks through the entire movie, no emotions, depth or intensity whatsoever. Movies like these expose him because not every actor ,no matter how good, can work in a larger than life cinema and Ranbir surely does not. Vaani kapoor's makeup and curls stand the test of all times. Sanjay dutt is okay.
How can they even think this will work? And why should it work? Like this one had no chance even before pandemic when may be people had a slight bit more tolerance for rubbish, now..no chance whatsoever. And before we even blame the pandemic..it is the movies which are so painfully bad that they will flop no matter what. Such big names on and off screen and this is the result. I have patience for many bad movies but Shamshera for me falls in the same league as Harry Sejal or Zero where it is so bad that even a cinema lover like me cannot wait to run out of it. There were like 8 people in the entire cinema and I bet half of them must be dozing off.
1 star and I am being very generous here.
