Directors like Remo and Prabhu literally were on course to destroy Salman's career but finally he has given chance to a much better director and this is the result.
Antim, a gangster drama, as a whole may not be the best film, or anything new, but it was quite an interesting watch. The first half was quite fast paced and interesting but the 2nd half felt like a real drag! Still it revives itself in the final climax which seemed quite good with that adrenaline pumping BGM by Ravi Basrur.
This is a rare film where Salman is demoted to a secondary role. If you follow entertainment page, you will know Salman was quite uninterested in doing this film solely because of this secondary kinda role. Still his performance is not over the top. After ages, after Bajrangi Bhaijaan, i am seeing SK where he is so grounded and trying nothing too over the top. Even in his dialogue delivery he is quite low in tone mostly and not shouting and giving some cringy dialogues like in that Radhe disaster. SK should do more of these kind of roles to reduce is hate base.
Aayush sharma is the main lead and honestly speaking, he looked quite decent but still needs quite some improvements. He felt average in emotional scenes but in the wicked scenes, he was exhilarating.
Mahima Makwana and her father, the director himself, initally reminded me of Sonakshi's role from Dabangg, a village girl having a drunk father. Mahima looks so hot but cant say much about her performance.
Sachin Khedkar is good and Upendra is amazing in his short role. Upendra in Mulshi Pattern was the police and here his the gangster.
The BGM surely elevates the level of the action sequences and the action scenes definitely this time are not over the top, proper hand to hand combats and gun fights.
Overall, a film which i would rate 6 stars but as I am seeing such a decent SK film after a long time, i give it 2 bonus stars.
