Critics Review

2.75

Partially Engaging Action Saga.

A simple plot that could have been more relatable if it was approached in a grounded manner. Decent first half is brought down in the process of trying to make it look so cool.(more)

Nagarjuna and Sonal Chauhan shine in this half-baked film

There are moments in The Ghost that will test your patience. You might also walk away feeling that it was a wasted opportunity to have a story that can be fleshed out better. However, if you�re a Nagarjuna fan, you might like it for him and him alone.(more)

Nothing To Boast

No film in recent times has come with a series of action stunts with little to no story. Furthermore, given all the hype around threats that the hero�s sister faces, we expect a strong antagonist who might prove to be more than a match to the hero Nagarjuna, but what we get is a cardboard villain character. To be fair, the first half of the film at least has some reasoning as it focuses on Nagarjuna�s Interpol days and a brief flashback about his family. The second half is a mess. The climax is excruciatingly bad. (more)

Nagarjuna's actioner looks sleek but tests patience

From there, the tone of director Praveen Sattaru�s movie shifts. Vikram is pissed after he botched up a rescue operation owing to a bad decision he makes. A young boy dies as a result and Vikram goes on a killing spree. You are not alone if the storyline kind of reminds you of John Wick. We just get a glimpse of Vikram�s rage, before Praveen again changes the mood of the movie. Now, we are in Vikram�s tragic backstory, the sacrifices of his foster father and his troubled relationship with his foster sister. Vikram has given up his job and now dedicates time to protecting his sister Anu (Gul Panag) and her teenage daughter Aditi (Anikha Surendran). And he�s not good at the parenting stuff as he uses a stun gun to discipline Aditi, who is spoiled by her privileged status.(more)

Some never-seen-before slick action makes this predictable Nagarjuna-starrer engaging watch

The Ghost delivers what the promos promised, which is slick action with a lot of bloodshed. The attempt to make an ultraviolent action film without dumbing down its impact for the masses deserves special praise. Sattaru takes a very predictable plot and shifts all his focus on delivering solid action stretches. The film takes its own time to take-off, quite literally, but the pay-off is worth the wait. The film does take inspiration from Hollywood blockbusters like Taken and John Wick but never tries to mimic what these films achieved in terms of action.(more)

Only for action lovers

The Ghost is a partly engaging action thriller. Nagarjuna�s scintillating performance backed up by some world-class fight scenes are its strength. On the flip side, the lack of proper emotional scenes, weak antagonist, and predictable storyline make it a passable watch this weekend. If you love watching action flicks, give this film a shot but lower your expectations.(more)
