The analogy of today's super-heros and villains was one thing that could have worked in favor of A Flying Jatt. But the moment you go all, “holier than thou” with speeches and history lessons, the cause is lost.
Oh, and it hurt to see Kay Kay Menon reduced to a caricatured villain. Even Amrita Singh's character seems like a placeholder for strong women, as if to check the “feminism” box. Jacqueline Fernandez' character, Kirti just makes it a point to highlight how pointless she is. Tiger Shroff stumbling and stuttering as he plays a martial arts teacher can make you smile only so much.īy the way, here's a quiz question – in which movie does Tiger Shroff play a character that doesn't require him to be a muscular guy who can do stunts, if not a martial artist? Hint: Trick question. And of course, Amrita Singh and Jacqueline Fernandez screaming and squeaking respectively, can hardly be called humor. However, the joke either falls flat because it goes on for too long or it ends up being slapsticky. Two, because the urban kids are just exposed to a lot better – in terms of story, action and performances. The story book + fairy tale kind of narration makes you wonder if A Flying Jatt would have worked as a kids' film? Nope. In fact, it is stretched out a bit too far. Like the film's metaphors for good and evil are clearly defined, to such an extent that they aren't representations any more. They quite literally spell out every thing. Post-interval it feels like the writers get the jitters and don't want to leave anything to chance. The first half treats the audience with some respect, allowing them to figure at least some stuff out by themselves.
