Action Jackson Movie Review - Disaster Every bit of it!

Ameet Bhuvan

If there were a law that protects audiences from puerile crassness in the name of entertainment, Action Jackson would be the ideal candidate to try it on. With not one moment of genuine decent film making in this mess of a film. How one wishes those two odd hours were spent better!

Ajay Devgn is a local goon who is good at heart (yawn) and loved to beat up people to the beats of music - when a choreographer turns director dance has myriad ways to enter the narrative. He is chased around by many, one of which is Sonakshi Sinha. An HR professional who believes that her luck shines only after seeing Ajay naked, she stalks him everywhere to catch a glimpse of his junk. 

There are others also chasing Ajay, cause he resembles another super mafia don who looks just like him. Enter Ajay double role and then on I lost sense of what it was exactly this film was trying to tell me. 
Aiding the sense of disillusion is the crass cacophony of a soundtrack that this movie boasts of. Every song every lyric is offensive, disgusting and downright bad. Not far behind are the cringe-worthy dialogues. "I am criminally good" is what AJ keeps saying at the drop of a hat, and all you can do is pray the ordeal ends faster somehow. 

Accompanying Ajay and Sonakshi are Yami who non stop gets beaten in the film, Kunal Roy Kapoor who is as clueless about what is going on as we are watching the film, and new comer Mamagai who for some reason is unable to appear lunatic and loose her shirt. 

 

There is nothing in the film that can justify the money and energy behind making it - shoddy writing, sad story, disgusting sequences and ridiculous editing - everything about the film is wrong. At best, it is an excuse for Prabhudheva to appear dancing on screen and the Ajay to go top less flaunting his muscles. Perhaps it is better Prabhuidheva stuck to remaking south films - at least then a basic apology of a story is guaranteed. Skip this one at any cost. 
Rating - 0.5/5
