Hrithk Roshan’s Bang Bang trailer has created quite an interest among the audience. Also starring Katrina Kaif, this film is directed by Siddharth Anand and has hit the screens in over 5000 screens world wide. Let’s now see how this action entertainer is.

Story:-

Omar Zafar (Danny Denzongpa), the most wanted criminal by the Interpol is jailed in London. One fine day, Omar manages to escapes from the high security jail. In order to teach everybody a lesson, he assigns Rajvir(Hrithik) to rob the world famous Kohinoor diamond which kept in London.

Rajvir successfully robs the diamond, and when Omar Zafar sends his people to collects the diamond, Rajvir escapes from them with the help of Harleen(Katrina Kaif). Who is this Harleen ? Why does Rajvir denies giving back the diamond ? What is his connection with Omar ? For answers to all these questions, you need to watch the film on the big screen.

Plus Points:-
This is a start to finish Hrithi Roshan film. All his hardcore fans get to see their matinee idol in his true spirits. Right from his dances, fights and bulked up body, Hrithik shows it all. Katrina Kaif ably supports Hrithik in his act, and their chemistry looks sizzling.

All the so called action sequences, that have been showcased, look stunning. Production values are quite good, and take the film to another level. Climax of the film is quite interesting and specially the car chase sequence that has been designed is in Hollywood style.

Minus Points:-

As we all know that this film is the remake of the Hollywood film ‘Knight and Day’. Sadly, this flick no where close to the original. There is absolute no logic or flow that is showcased. This films has a water thin story line which is only covered with thrills and stunts.

For the entire first half, it is only Hrithik’s heroics, and his so called show off that takes the center stage. The way Katrina’s character travels with Hrithik is sometime unjustifiable. First half is filled with songs which are unnecessary. As simple line and a even simple mission is just carried for three long hours, stretching the movie to the core.

Technical Aspects:-
Technically Bang Bang is quite good. All the locations are stunning, and quite new for a Bollywood flicks. Camerawork is awesome and showcases the locales in a superb manner. Production values are quite rich as the makers have not compromised on giving this flick a grand look.

Yet another major drawback of the film is the music. Vishal-Shekhar’s music score is below par, as none of the songs fail to register. Coming to the director, Siddharth Anand who has made films like Salaam Namaste and Anjaana Anjaani in the past has given the flick only style and grand look. Except for the stunts, he has lost out on every other department.

Verdict:-

As the saying goes ‘All that glitters is not Gold’ same is the case for Bang Bang. Excepts for the high octane action scenes shown in the trailers, there is nothing interesting in this flick. How ever, keeping Hrithik and Katrina’s huge craze in mind, and the 5 day long weekend this film might rake in good figures at the box office.
