Download Film An Action Hero

An Action Hero is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language action film[2] directed by Anirudh Iyer in his directorial debut and produced by T-Series Films and Colour Yellow Productions.[3] It stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat in the lead roles. In the film, an action film star goes on the run after accidentally killing the brother of a ruthless politician.

Maanav is a popular actor, who is known as a leading man in action films. For his upcoming film shoot, Maanav heads to Mandothi in Haryana. Vicky Solanki, an aspiring strongman politician currently contesting the local elections, wants to meet Maanav to gain publicity. Due to busy shooting schedule Maanav does not pay heed. Just when he is about to meet Vicky, Maanav is distracted by the delivery of his new Ford Mustang and goes for a long drive. Enraged, Vicky follows and manhandles him, but Maanav pushes him away and Vicky dies from blunt force trauma, on the spot after landing head first on a rock. Frightened, Maanav flees to his house in Portsmouth, UK. Unbeknownst to him, Vicky's brother Bhoora Singh Solanki, a municipal councilor of Mandothi, is on his tail to hunt him down.

The Haryana police conclude role of Maanav in Vicky's murder citing the side mirror of Maanav's new Mustang. Maanav's reputation is degraded and his films are boycotted. The news reaches UK as well and Maanav is forced to hide himself from the UK police, and later witnesses Bhoora killing two British officers at his home. Maanav manages to escape the scene and tries to seek help from his UK lawyer, who does not respond. During his attempt to escape, Maanav's car runs out of gas and Bhoora confronts him. Maanav tries to prove his innocence, but Bhoora does not listen and tries to kill him. Maanav manages to overpower and lock Bhoora in the car's trunk. Upon pressuring his manager Roshan for help, Maanav finally gets to meet another lawyer and fixer named Sai for capturing potential footage of Bhoora killing the two cops. Sai tells Maanav to meet his contact in London, for collecting the footage.

The song "Jehda Nasha" was recreated from the 2019 track Nasha which was sung by IP Singh, Amar Jalal, written by Amar Jalal Group and composed by Faridkot, Amar Jalal.[15] The song "Aap Jaisa Koi" was recreated from the 1980 film Qurbani sung by Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan, and was composed by British Indian producer Biddu. The song was featured in the film as an item number, picturised on Zeenat Aman.[16]

Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "An Action Hero works due to Ayushmann's action-oriented role and Jaideep's screen presence. The twist in the last 30 minutes adds to the fun".[21] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film bustles with coiled energy every time Jaideep Ahlawat is on the screen as a toughie responding to a rough, ready and rustic notion of justice and self-worth".[22] Sonil Dedhia of News 18 rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and said that the film is "wacky, breezy, bizarre and outlandish".[23] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film makes fun of everything it can get its hands on while weaving a story worthy of its strong cast".[24] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The film is cleverly written. It serves us twists and turns admiringly well. The insider jokes are a hoot. The arrogance of a superstar is on point".[25] Kartik Bhardwaj of Cinema Express rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat lock horns in this cheeky take on stars, fans, and media culture".[26] Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "An Action Hero is an intelligently written action thriller, wherein the director follows his conviction to strike the right balance in the genre with some humor and whacky scenarios".[27]

Everyone has a gun in their hands. Everyone is shooting. Why? Nobody knows? And each time, a wrong man gets killed. That's precisely what An Action Hero is all about. High on action, not just from the hero but even the bad guys, director Anirudh Iyer's film has several logic-defying moments. While most of them make you question your IQ, you tend to look past them and enjoy the action and funny unfolding of events on screen. Laced with dark humour, An Action Hero has witty dialogues, one-liners and comic punches that stick the perfect landing. Sometimes, even better than the titular action hero in a fight sequence.

Starring Ayushmann Khurrana as the action hero Maanav Khurana, the film shows him as this 'star' who has just rejected a biopic of a gangster because he wants to stay away from 'bhai log and underworld'. Ironically, he's filming in Haryana, and while enjoying his new ride post pack-up, he ends up accidently killing one Vicky Solanki, younger brother of a notorious gangster and Jat neta Bhoora Solanki (Jaideep Ahlawat), who now wants to avenge his brother's 'murder' and kill Maanav. What then ensues is a cat-and-mouse chase on the streets of UK (you see how the film moves from Haryana to Mumbai to London) with a bunch of trigger-happy men, all aimlessly shooting at each other only to reach a climax that leaves you spellbound.

There's a line in the film: 'Action hero ko gussa aata hai toh public ka paisa vasool hota hai'. Ayushmann pretty much stays true to this sentiment, and his conviction in the action scenes shows. Seeing an actor step out of his comfort zone and try something new and challenging is always a sight for sore eyes. Apart from the chiselled new look, he also has quite a few great one-liners to flaunt, for example 'Ladna mera kaam hai, shaunk nahi' and 'action hero hoon, taakat ka istemaal aakhir mein karta hoon'. Ahlawat with his Haryanvi dialect is once again a masterclass in acting. Even in the scenes where he's just standing there, not uttering a word, you feel his menacing vibe.

An Action Hero packs a punch when it comes to face-off scenes between Ayushmann and Jaideep. Otherwise, it largely remains your masala potboiler where hero and the villain fight for reasons best known to them. The film, which I found was low on content, makes up for it with a lot of humour by means of some lighter exchange of dialogues between the enemies, making this action thriller somewhat funny. Imagine there's a scene where Bhoora is sitting on top of Maanav pointing a gun on his head and giving him a sort of lecture on 'how public makes stars, so if they say, actors would need to sing, dance or even agree to pose for a picture'. Neeraj Yadav's screenplay is engaging and gives you an adrenaline rush in those well-choreographed fight sequences. Kaushal Shah's cinematography, too, gets due credit for capturing the countryside so beautifully and I liked how it's effortlessly weaved into the screenplay.

One aspect where the film went a bit overboard, though I'm not complaining, is the way it showed TRP-hungry news channels and TV anchors with their high-pitched voices calling out Bollywood. The use of popular hashtag #BoycottBollywood comes across as a clever way to take a subtle jibe at the current scenario in the entertainment industry. One of the anchors so seamlessly mimicking a popular voice on news channels who sort of started his own battle with Bollywood, triggering genuine laughs.

Talking of laughter, don't miss the pleasantly surprising cameo by an OG action hero, which is hilarious and so spontaneous. And of course, special dance sequences by Malaika Arora and Nora Fatehi that may not add much to the story but definitely up the glam quotient.

"Last Action Hero" is about the same subject as almost every other feature film ever made: The possibility of blurring the line between the audience and the screen. We go to the movies so that we can vicariously live the lives of the characters who loom so glamorously above us, and the movies know that. Every moment of every shot exists with the full consciousness of the fourth invisible wall dividing the characters from their watchers in the dark.

Early in "Last Action Hero," a small boy is watching a movie when suddenly a bundle of dynamite comes bouncing out of the screen and lands near him in the theater. He runs for his life, but there is an explosion, and somehow he is catapulted through the membrane between the audience and the actors. He is in the movie. More exactly, he is in the back seat of a speeding car in a chase scene, and the driver is Jack Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger), his hero.

Other movies have also played with the boundaries between reality and cinema. Woody Allen's "The Purple Rose of Cairo," for example, and Robert Zemeckis's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." But they've used the gimmick primarily as a springboard for their stories for love and action. There is a lot of action in "Last Action Hero," but the underlying story never ever quite works. From beginning to end, the movie is about its gimmick, without ever transcending it.

I found myself watching the Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy 'Last Action Hero' this evening. Later I learned from wikipedia that Timothy Dalton had a cameo in the film. It struck me as odd that i could miss it, as the film has many celebrity cameos which are made pretty evident to the audience.

I found it odd that a film which makes its cameos so obvious (keep in mind that all of the other cameos in that scene either have speaking roles and/or interact with the main characters) would hire a big star like the current James Bond and not give the audience a better look at him . True, Dalton probably wouldn't have been as well known to American moviegoers as some of the other celebrities in that scene, but it occured to me that it may be something else. If memory serves, active James Bonds have a clause in their contract that forbids them from appearing in other films wearing a tuxedo (can anyone confirm that Dalton had this in his contract?). Perhaps keeping Dalton and his tuxedo obscured is the film's way of including Dalton's cameo without breaching his contract. e24fc04721
