LAAL KAPTAAN is a slow and a poor movie that has nothing good to offer the audiences in general.
Film sets in 18th century India, a Naga sadhu named Gosain (Saif Ali Khan) in India sets out on a journey across Bundelkhand to seek revenge for an injustice committed in the past by the evil Rehmat Khan. This is the main plot of Lal Kaptaan.
Well into the second half of Laal Kaptaan, film takes some twist and turn to its climax and spends an awfully long time to get there.
Director Navdeep Singh keep the film away from the sentimentality common to Hindi cinema, Laal Kaptaan lacks pace. Dialogues, so essential for a historical thriller like this one, falter and flail in critical scenes, puncturing the impact of a unique story.
Laal Kaptaan will take you to a path for nowhere. It should have cut to the chase, literally and figuratively, but instead, it becomes an unbearably long and pointless pursuit.
