In Hollywood films, we have so many super heroes ranging from Marvel heroes like Spiderman, Iron Man and Deadpool to the DC solid ones like Batman or Superman but apart from Krrish and to some extent Shaktimaan being the popular ones in India, will "A Flying Jatt" create a new genre of Super hero category in Bollywood ?
"A Flying Jatt" tells the story of an ordinary Karate Trainer (played by Tiger Shroff) whose life turn upside down when he accidentally hits a extra-ordinary tree during a fight with bad-ass, Raka (played by Nathan Jonson). A super hero is born with the extraordinary power. However, he puts his power to a good use only when he meet his stiff competitor- the evil Raka , who himself inherits the power to destroy the world.
Though he is five films year old, Remo has created quite an impact as director after delivering solid hits like "FALTU", "ABCD" and ABCD 2″. However, he majorly disappoints with "A Flying Jatt". The problem with the film is that Remo created a mess with the super hero character which could never took off. The opening of the film is pretty decent and once Tiger Shroff gains the extraordinary power, the film is fun to watch. The way Tiger Shroff gains confidence and the his fight with the robbers in the bank is well- executed. After the second half , the film loses the steam and fails miserably. At one point of time, it become unbearable and you would love to leave the theater as early as possible. The screenplay is confusing and gives you headache. Art direction is decent. Cinematography is just about okay. Visual effects, which should be the highlight of the film, is decent at places but tacky most of the time. Action sequences are funny. Background score is bad. Music by Sachin Jigar is fine with "Beat Pe Booty" pick of a lot.
Performance wise, it is Tiger Shroff who is only the silver lining in this messy drama. I feel he has not been utilized appropriately since his debut "Heropanti", "Baaghi" and now "A Flying Jatt". Tiger Shroff is definitely a star in making and the action star has done very well to build his image. Nathan Jone is fine as the evil Raka. Jacqueline Fernandez is used to add glamour. Amrita Singh overacts as Punjabi mother.
Overall, "A Flying Jatt" is a BIG disappointment. Do not even take the risk of watching the film with your family let watching it alone. Poor 1/5.
