'Liger' movie review: Vijay Deverakonda's action drama is all noise ... (The Hindu)

This Puri Jagannadh and Vijay Deverakonda film is a mishmash of sport, action and drama in which nothing makes an impact.

At the start of the film, the protagonist says that he is not good at narrating a story, but he will try. [Mike Tyson](https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/mike-tyson-to-star-in-vijay-deverakondas-liger/article36694213.ece) has its moments, but coming at the fag end of a shoddily-written story, it is too little and too late. Chunky Pandey appears in a brief character that begins as glitzy and fizzles out. Once Liger’s potential in MMA is established, the story introduces the leading lady who is characterised as a dimwit who is both intentionally and unintentionally hilarious, and annoying. Was that Puri’s way of showing the power of women after a string of glam doll characterisations of the leading women in his last few films? Ramya can pack a punch as a courageous mother but she is mostly made to scream and shout. Here the characterisations and storytelling are so banal that it is tough to root for the underdog story. In the opening minutes of Liger, a voiceover describes the title character as a slumdog from the streets of Mumbai who is aiming to win on an international podium. Predictable scenes follow in which Liger is ridiculed by the students of MMA and he has to fight to earn their respect. Some sort of a reveal about Tanya’s true reaction to the mother’s angst comes much later but by then, nothing matters as the film goes on a downward spiral. Hailing from Karimnagar and raising him on her own, she has moved to Mumbai to see him as an MMA national champion; the mother and son make ends meet by managing a tea stall. She goes to the balcony and waves to the crowd in a manner similar to SRK from Mannat.

Directed by Puri Jagannath, Liger has great actors, with even Mike Tyson thrown in, but lacks soul.

In the top of the list of ‘what is he/she doing’ here, is Mike Tyson. The film also ends so abruptly that you scratch your head for a bit, trying to figure if you had accidentally dozed off and missed a few minutes of it. Her character looks strangely out of place in the movie and seems to be in a Student of the Year hangover. Maybe the lure of being in an Indian film is so strong that you’ll choose just about any film. The depth of her shallowness is so exaggerated that it’s comic and cringe. There is no sequence to the movie.

The film and the fights don’t provide a high. The idea of a protagonist with a stammering problem is irritating. The film further goes downhill when the story shifts to Las Vegas. Puri Jagannadh begins this film as an inspirational story of a rise of a champion from a humble background. The Las Vegas sequences and the production values have brought the film a rich look. The film has a Mumbai setting. The so-called MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights and sequences, which come one after the other, make a tiresome watch. More than the story, the film doesn’t have a strong conflict or high emotional quotient, or a strong villain, the essential elements for mass movies. Let’s find out whether the film lives up to the hype. The combination of director Puri Jagannadh and young sensation Vijay Deverakonda has occupied the media and social media space lately. However, the script doesn’t give him anything to go beyond the surface. But, it turns out to be a wasted effort as “Liger” looks like an exercise with no proper script.
