Shivaay
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a perfect emotional thriller that scores high on the account of its breathtaking visuals, amazing action and a high octane performance by Ajay Devgn.
-
If you’re an adventure junkie, Shivaay is the film for you. And even if you aren’t, Shivaay will make you one.
-
Laced with visual excellence, you applaud his film’s larger than life canvas but despite the efforts, his second directorial venture fails to engage you emotionally.
-
This film could've been one of the best-conceived action films in recent times, if only it could cut back on the melodrama, most dialogues and perhaps, Vir Das.
-
What begins as a thrilling adventure turns into a self-indulgent experiment.
-
...must have started with the ambition to reach the highest peak but unfortunately, gets buried in the avalanche of a routine story that lacked any glory.
-
It’s a pity that some tired writing foils the fun of an otherwise well thought out movie. Shivaay follows a strict code of storytelling.
-
...a terrific looking terrible film.
-
There’s a decent Hollywood-style lone-wolf- on-the-prowl action thriller hidden inside this long feature, but it is sacrificed to Devgn’s indulgence.
-
...a misfire of Himalayan proportions.
-
... ultimately suffers from the malice of overdose. An overdose of action and an overdose of melodrama, both of which should have been chopped off at the editing table.
-
...heavy-handed, over-stretched...
-
... is so steeped in self importance so awed by its own intended grandeur it seems to forget there is a story to tell.
-
Not a shred of originality in this father-daughter copy of 'Taken' plus 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' copy, unless you are fascinated by snow, tattoos, and foreign locales where really bad foreign people live.
-
Devgn has clearly put time and effort into his direction,but appears to have put less into his performance. Neither makes the grade. And let’s face it, there can only be one Liam Neeson.
-
You just have to be the world’s biggest Ajay Devgn fan to keep your eyes peeled over 2 hours, 50 minutes, on him, all through a film.
-
Action for the sake of action. Story that wavers in its focus. And long, way too long.
-
...is basically Taken with a big helping of melodrama, and a lot of talking. A LOT of talking. Way too much talking.
-
...good photography and stunts can do only so much to a badly-written film.
-
...the film turns out almost three hours long despite just a wisp of a story to tell.
-
To evoke a truly superb avalanche-filled film, this one may as well have been called Force Manure.
-
The only thing your eye can rest on is the spectacular scenery. The rest is a bloated star vehicle.
