Oh No! Not #KhoonBhariMaang again? The twist is that she’s a Nani now who gets
into the same get-up,Kyun Ki..I won’t go there. Needless to say she is all
right and her family are all wrong. Old fashioned, antiquated plotting, strong
on melodrama , banshee theatrics, hyperventilating hysterics and low on
artistry. Rekha looks gorgeous and Sharman sounds strange. Moral Sermonising
has little connect. #Rekha #IndraKumar #ParagDesai #UniversalPR #MarutiInternational

Rating: * * Faking it! What a b(o)ore! Seeking vengeance but not getting close.
No ‘real’ tigers to see just a lot of shadow dancing around in the wilds of the
Sunderbans (which is stunning no doubt). The digital anime though
competent,doesn’t feel alright! #KamalSadanah #AbisRizvi #ABFilms #AbhinavShukla #NoraFatehi #HimarshaV #AliQuli #AchintKaur #PranayDixit

A revenge story set in the
Sunderbans, the story is about a slain photojournalist’s brother going back to
the scene of the killing to avenge his death at the hands of a white tigress.
Really? It’s an incredulous
story idea- one that wouldn’t warrant a film on a normal night. But Bollywood
producers are by no means stricken by that bug. They are much more adventurous
and far-reaching- as exposed by the greenlighting of such a hapless script.
Man-eating tiger hunts have
been traversed in middling mainstream efforts like ‘Kaal’ and ‘The Forrest,’ this
one though has very little purchase and more so because the ‘real tiger sightings’
are limited to fractiously digitized efforts that conforms to requirement but
doesn’t arouse as much awe as required.
Pandit (Abhinav Shukla) assembles
a team of commandos to enter the prohibited core of the forest with help from local guide Madhu (Pranay
Dixit) and tracker Jhumpa (Himarsha V).But their plan is certainly not fool
proof and neither is the build-up to the danger sightings orchestrated amidst
the thickset mangrove forests that fortunately lends creepy and shadowy thrills
quite naturally.
The struggle
for survival in a fish-out-of-water-situation doesn’t appear all that appealing
either. Mainly because the plotting is quite uninteresting, the screenplay
lacks bite and the characters just plod around shaking in their boots or
looking fearless and antagonistic whenever required. Not much directorial skill
on display and neither is there anything exemplary to hail here. Cinematographer Michael Watson goes
over-the-top with angled shots and slo-mos but the overall visual effect is one
of awe-inspiring regality- much like a NatGeo film. Unfortunately those
well-meaning shots can’t really make up for a c(l)ub-footed story and clueless
acting!
