Shamshera

Shamshera Movie Review 2022 : Shamshera Critics Rating 1.5/5. Shamshera is the story of a rebel and his tribe. The Khameran is a warrior tribe that assisted ...

On the whole, Shamshera falters big time due to an outdated script and predictable plot. Balli’s entry sequence and the song ‘Ji Huzoor’ is entertaining and the same goes for the scene where Balli gifts several items to Sona. The scene where he is given thirty lashes and when he finds out the truth about his father makes for a great watch. His escape sequence is clapworthy and from hereon, one expects the film to get better, especially when he meets fellow Khamerans and starts looting. Lastly, the usage of crows is novel. She does so to spare the lives of her fellow Khamerans. The Khamerans stone Shamshera to death. He and the rest of the tribals are taken to Kaza Fort. However, Shuddh Singh cheats them. The sequence where the rebels are struggling is stretched. He tries to escape from the Kaza Fort. Unlike his father, he’s successful and he manages to find the secret tunnel through which he escapes and reaches the city of Nagina. What happens next forms the rest of the film. He wants to find the tunnel and escape so that he can arrange for the funds. Hence, she announces that Shamshera is a coward who was trying to flee, leaving the Khamerans behind. He tells him to surrender and in return, he'll allow the rest of the Khamerans to settle in a faraway place where they can regain their lost glory. They attack the Khamerans and almost defeat them.

Ranbir Kapoor starrer Shamshera movie review and release live updates: The Karan Malhotra directorial stars Ranbir Kapoor in a double role.

Sanjay Dutt plays Daroga Shuddh Singh. The latter is reuniting with Karan Malhotra after Agneepath in 2012, where he played the main villain Kaancha Cheena. The actor said Shamshera is made for the masses. It was this larger than life film.” It was catering to a larger audience.

It really doesn't matter because they do not actually stick out in a film that scrapes the very bottom of the barrel with its detailing of the principal props and period components. What's more, the hero - remember he never got out of jail until he was a grown-up lad - knows enough to write neat notes in Devanagari for anybody who cares to read. Owing to a script that is as confused as he is, the veteran actor, who is increasingly being typecast as an over-the-top villain, is unable to decide whether he wants to be a goofy baddie and raise a few laughs or play it straight. It is a stun-gun of a movie that just knocks one out cold. Period. When a movie does not work, critics often write it off as having 'lost the plot'. In this case, even that euphemism is out of the question. Another shot in the dark from the have-camera-will-shoot school of moviemaking, Shamshera is a horrendous period film.

But well, these issues at least can be forgiven in a film that has a major character saying, “Is there a greater mask in this world than religion?” and the word “shudh” is used in conjunction with the name of a caste that is deemed lowly. Ranbir is gorgeous in every imaginable way in Shamshera – in terms of his acting, sex appeal, dancing, litheness in the action scenes and magnetic personality. Shamshera is a stinging condemnation of the caste system, unprecedented for its mainstream format and the foregrounding of its caste theme in a Bollywood that has for too long largely avoided a conversation on caste. Case in point: Dhadak, the terrible Hindi adaptation of the excellent Marathi blockbuster Sairat. Shamshera recognises and underlines its belief that caste atrocities are no less condemnable than colonisation by an alien force. Shamshera and his son Balli (also Ranbir Kapoor) are the most unexpected warriors against India’s caste system to emerge from commercial Hindi cinema. The first surprise in Shamshera comes with the briefness in the representation of the Mughals. In recent years, this dynasty and other Muslim communities have been repeatedly depicted as the exemplification of violence against hapless Indians in mainstream Hindi cinema, epitomising bloodlust and betrayal even to the extent of distorting actual historical situations where, in reality, Muslims fought the British Raj while other Indians allied with the white colonisers.

Ranbir Kapoor returns to the big screen after a gap of four years with mass action entertainer Shamshera also starring Sanjay Dutt & Vaani Kapoor.

Shamshera marks Ranbir Kapoor's first collaboration with Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt.

Meanwhile, talking about Shamshera, the movie will mark Ranbir’s first collaboration with Sanjay and Vaani. His sizzling chemistry with Vaani has been winning hearts and the audience has been looking forward to watching his face off with the Khalnayak actor. After all, the handsome hunk, who was last seen in the 2018 release Sanju, has hit the big screens after four years today with Karan Malhotra’s Shamshera. The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor in the lead and it has been one of the most anticipated movies of the year. #Brahmastra”. Another one tweeted, “The best actor tag in the country keeps changing it’s throne but nevertheless the best form in which an actor has shown his continuity and class in unarguably #RanbirKapoor. He proves it again in #Shamshera”.

Shamshera review: The Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt-starrer has its faults but manages to hit enough right chords to be an enjoyable masala entertainer.

The scene where Saurabh Shukla's character narrates a couplet to remember his friend Shamshera is epic, and that's even turned into a song later for Vaani Kapoor to show some moves. It's quite a physically-taxing character and given that Sanjay shot for Shamshera while battling cancer, I was amazed to see the force he has put in some of the action scenes or where he yells his lungs out in anger. However, I wish makers had thought of a better look for his character and not made him look like a villain from the 80s. It's not always a safe bet to make a good-looking hero turn into their ferocious, action hero, but Ranbir gets into the skin of the character with so much ease and owns it, making it look so believable. There's no breathing space to make out the why and how and it's just Ranbir Kapoor taking on the bad guys in some intricately choreographed action sequences. Mounted on a large scale, like most period films, it does boast of massive sets and structures but nothing takes away from the depth of the characters and somewhat believable story-line.

we have a President, a tribal with Her life story and we have Ranbir Kapoor playing a tribal with his life story hmmm. can't be hanging around next to a lamborghini jsut before the movie releases!! To sum it up, director and co-writer Karan Malhotra surely seemed to have had a grand vision at the onset, but it’s his execution that seems to have betrayed him. The action choreography of the film, particularly in the scene before the interval point and in portions of the climax, is very well done. The supporting characters, like the ones played by Ronit Bose Roy, Saurabh Shukla and Iravati Harshe have very little to contribute to this drama. SHAMSHERA REVIEW: Shamshera (Ranbir Kapoor), a tribal leader, uprooted from his soil with his people, is forced to plunder the wealth of the rich, who consider themselves a higher caste.

Ranbir Kapoor, over the years, has dodged being typecast as the 'chocolate boy' by continuously experimenting with his roles. 'Shamshera' his latest venture ...

When he transitions from the menacing and kind Shamshera to the blithe Balli, he seems to be in a more comfortable setting. Even when the plot goes around in circles, putting the film at an unstable footing, Ranbir continues to land on his feet. In typical 80s Bollywood style, Ranbir plays both father and son, giving an unique identity to both characters despite having embarked on a similar quest. That is, until his latest venture Shamshera. The film has been getting mixed reviews but there is one thing that stands out, Ranbir Kapoor stealing every scene he is in, in an avatar that seems most unlike him. There was a real danger of being typecast as the Bollywood ‘chocolate boy’. But, the actor tried to make a space for himself in separate genres, choosing diverse roles. Karan Malhotra’s Shamshera released in theatres on 22 July. The film opens with a montage, drawing the audience into the film’s plot and setting.

He likes her and flirts with her; she kind of likes him and does not not flirt with him (which is to say it’s a typical I-like-you-but-umm-not-so-much-till-you-pursue-and-wear-me-down Bollywood love). Right outside, I overheard snatches of a conversation that contained the words “runtime” and, horror of horrors, “South Indian films”. Once upon a time, Bollywood had takers; now, it has undertakers. The movie doesn’t even keep its bare minimum promise of a visual dazzle. Malhotra believes that big stakes make a good story (sure, no disagreements). But what do you make of a film that only cares for big stakes – almost at the cost of their execution? But Balli is an incompetent buffoon who doesn’t even identify with his people, wanting to be a cop instead, so that the initial segment can be milked for ‘laughs’ and a song, making his escape almost impossible. But he does escape – diving headlong into the water and finding a secret tunnel in his first attempt – unlike his much smarter and courageous father who failed despite multiple tries. Running out of ideas in the second half, where Balli’s men are supposed to loot the wealthy businessmen? In comes Sona, who dances and seduces (why would she do that for someone she doesn’t even love?), while Balli’s men do the job. It’s indeed evident that Shamshera is a thing of its own: one that, let alone dignifying Rajamouli or Bachchan’s oeuvre, is so tirelessly mediocre that it doesn’t even come near the originals. In comes a young attractive woman, Sona (Vaani Kapoor), a local dancer, who somehow knows Balli. No idea how – she’s free; he’s a slave – but let’s not get caught up in such trivial things as plot coherence. But he was caught and hung; his people branded him a selfish runaway (a bhagoda), stoning him to death. His father, Shamshera (also Kapoor), a renowned rebel, lived and died for his people.

As for the star we have waited with bated breath for the last four years...Well, Ranbir Kapoor in a double role carries the intensity and goofiness of his parts with both conviction and aplomb. Interestingly, while Sanjay’s character bordering on caricature is all black and reminds you of all the baddies of yore replete with a loud guffaw, but the British officer is a tad gray. Not to say that it does not capture the period feel. Yes we are on familiar turf, it’s the British Raj where we are told a warrior tribe is so marginalised that it has taken to arms to loot the rich. A period film that harks back to the rules of old-school-world of dacoits...No problem. And help the poor a la Robin Hood. Its credo line runs Karam se Dakait aur Dharam se Azad. Only, soon enough the very azadi of the brave brigade is under threat.

The first thing that's commendable about "Shamshera" is that the film takes on the topic of casteism. It illustrates how, during times of oppression.

It seems like the writers decided how they were going to begin the film and how they were going to echo that in the ending. So, I’m not going to deduct any points for that in this fictional story set against the backdrop of British rule in India. What I’m going to criticize, though, is the acting. The third and final thing is the attempt to make the film feel epic. And that’s a bigger letdown than the over-the-top performances delivered by Sanjay Dutt, Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Ronit Roy, and the rest of the supporting cast whose names YRF hasn’t even listed on IMDb (at the time of writing this review, at least). And “Agneepath” is way better than “Shamshera.” In that film, you get to empathize with and map the rise of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan). In this film, at one moment, you see Balli as the most childish person in Kaza, and seconds later, he’s motivated enough to take part in the revolution. The first thing that’s commendable about “Shamshera” is that the film takes on the topic of casteism. The one that’s the most irksome is the frame rate. The story is set in the 1800s and is centered around a warrior tribe (Khameran) that was evicted from their land by the Mughals and then oppressed by the British and an upper-caste “daroga” (inspector), Shuddh Singh (Sanjay Dutt). But a savior of sorts rises amongst them, who goes by the name Shamshera (Ranbir Kapoor). He brings the British to their knees. Now, he has returned to the big screen after four long years with “Shamshera,” and the comeback is dismal. The second thing is the VFX. It’s decent for the most part. And what do people, who are considered to be of a lower caste, have to do in order to survive, while those who claim to be of the upper caste continue to enjoy life’s greatest pleasures. “Shamshera” isn’t just a comeback for Ranbir but also for co-writer (along with Ekta Pathak Malhotra, story writers Neelesh Misra and Khila Bisht, and dialogue writer Piyush Mishra) and director Karan Malhotra after seven years.

The VFX doesn’t help either. The pre-Independence tale never really takes off from the quagmire of caste it’s trapped in. Smoke, sand and grimy bodies don’t make for a great opening sequence.

He is able to achieve the impossible and put a blot on the reputation of the British General. He leaves a message, saying that he would return the crown only when the general promised to free the Khamerans. Balli returned with the surviving members of his crew to the Kaza Fortress, as the General had agreed to his demands. A fire was ignited within their hearts, and they wanted to avenge the death of their leader and save his son, who had put his life at stake and was still fighting for them. The dialogues written by Piyush Mishra try to pack a punch in an otherwise frivolous affair, but at times it becomes way too much and is unable to bring out the desired effect. There was a well inside the fortress, and Shamshera knew that the tunnel lay somewhere inside it. He had planned to kill the British forces, put the blame for the same on Balli, and take the credit for returning the crown to the queen. He had to find a way to escape the fortress and figure out a way to earn ten thousand gold coins. One day, he goes to Shudh Singh and asks him to take his test and make him a police officer. His name was Shamshera, and he knew that in order to survive, they had to give the people of Kaza a taste of their own medicine. But the empire was ramshackled and plundered by the Mughals. The people of the Khameran tribe reached a place called Kaza in order to take refuge. The Khameran tribe was once considered to be a jewel in the crown of the Rajputana kingdom. There was a caste barrier, because of which they had to face a lot of discrimination at the hands of the wealthy and the poor alike. Some felt that the actor wouldn’t be able to pull off an action thriller, while some showed faith in Karan Malhotra, the director, and his team.
