슬롯사이트˜Jaat슬롯사이트� Movie Review: A Mind-Numbingly Violent and Boring 슬롯사이트˜Telugu슬롯사이트� Potboiler, Incidentally Starring Sunny Deol (LatestLY Exclusive)

Jaat Movie Review:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Save for a few Hindi actors in the cast - and the fact that everyone speaks Hindi regardless of ethnicity - Jaat doesn슬롯사이트™t feel like a Hindi film at all. It plays more like a mindless Telugu potboiler, filled with gratuitous and disturbing violence (despite the censoring), scenes that only exist to set up the next action sequence, and a hero with a saviour complex who, of course, is also the protector of women슬롯사이트™s dignity. What슬롯사이트™s missing is an age-inappropriate romance (see the director슬롯사이트™s last film, Veera Simha Reddy), needless love songs, and comic tracks. But fear not, there is an item song featuring a skimpily clad Urvashi Rautela, who dances to lyrical gems like "Galon Ko Touch Kiya Balon Ko Touch Kiya슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Phir Bhi Tu Bach Gaya" and "Dil Tujhko Hi Dungi Pehley Sorry Bol".슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Good Bad Ugly슬롯사이트� vs 슬롯사이트˜Bazooka슬롯사이트� vs 슬롯사이트˜Jaat슬롯사이트� Advance Booking: Ajith Kumar, Mammootty or Sunny Deol 슬롯사이트� Who슬롯사이트™s Leading in Pre-Release Ticket Sales? Find Out.

Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the plot of Jaat is inspired by Western action movies, particularly those featuring Clint Eastwood슬롯사이트™s Man With No Name. A cluster of villages in Andhra Pradesh is ruled by Ranatunga (Randeep Hooda), who spreads terror among the locals with his barbaric acts of violence, backed by complicit police and government officials.

'Jaat' Movie Review - The Man With No Name But Big Caste Pride

Into this lawless land comes our protagonist (Sunny Deol) - by accident, thanks to Indian Railways - who just wanted some idli from a local eatery. What begins as a scuffle with a politician슬롯사이트™s henchman escalates quickly, and soon, he슬롯사이트™s face-to-face with Ranatunga. What should have been a simple apology spirals into him becoming the saviour of assaulted female cops trapped in Ranatunga슬롯사이트™s house and, eventually, of the entire village.

So, who is this man, and why is he so undefeatable? The first question is finally answered in the third act - not exactly mind-blowing, and something you can guess since Sunny Deol plays the role. His character슬롯사이트™s name is only revealed towards the end, but since Deol paaji is as North Indian as he gets, his self-introduction only includes his caste -슬롯 머신 사이트 추천and he bellows it out every time. And even then, I was left confused: is he Jaat or Jatt? The movie seems unsure too. There슬롯사이트™s a Punjabi song playing in the background during a few of his scenes, and even in the end credits he슬롯사이트™s referred to as Jatt. Everywhere else, it슬롯사이트™s Jaat. Nolan-level confusion.

As for the answer to the second question - he is a hero in what is a typical Telugu action film - what do you expect to happen to him?

'Jaat' Movie Review - Mass Cliches Galore

To be fair, there were a couple of fascinating touches in Jaat. Borrowing an idea from Shah Rukh Khan슬롯사이트™s Fan, it슬롯사이트™s oddly funny that the hero-villain clash starts because the hero simply wanted a "Sorry". Also, the main events of the film unfold within a span of just 10 hours.

But beyond that? Jaat's a greatest-hits compilation from the Telugu mass action movie handbook. Bloodthirsty villains with zero nuance - check. A hero who슬롯사이트™s indestructible - check. Gratuitous beheadings and dismemberment - check. Corrupt cops and helpless villagers, both serving as fodder for violence - check. Sexual violence against women - check. Using said violence against women as a pretext to elevate the hero - check. A random flashback to explain the hero슬롯사이트™s frivolous backstory - check. Excessive buildup around his identity, complete with over-the-top reactions from the supporting cast - check. At least one police station fight scene - check. Overlong slo-mo action sequences to prove our sixty-plus hero still has swag - check. Meta references to his past hits - check. Murali Sharma and Jagapathi Babu in the cast - check. A thumping background score to prop up flimsy scenes - check. A sleazy item song - check. A big-ass gun in the climax - check check check.

If you슬롯사이트™re into Telugu potboilers, this one has everything - except for the creepy romantic subplot involving stalking and coercion. And because Jaat stars a North Indian action hero whose last big hit pandered to majoritarian right-wing sentiment, his intro scene features a song praising Lord Ram, and he conveniently arrives from Ayodhya. The film also elevates him to a godlike status throughout. Makes sense, because the villain is from Sri Lanka. And if that symbolism wasn슬롯사이트™t obvious enough, there슬롯사이트™s even a scene where the villain worships Ravana, with a frame literally positioning him as the demon king. Subtlety, meet dhai kilo ka haath.

'Jaat' Movie Review - Desensitised Attitude Towards Violence of All Kinds

Of course, I expected all this when I went in, and I did have fun during the first three슬롯 머신 사이트 추천action scenes - at the eatery, the politician슬롯사이트™s house, and a government office - largely thanks to the absurdity of the 슬롯사이트˜Sorry슬롯사이트� premise. But once the hero storms Ranatunga슬롯사이트™s house, I began to question why everyone, including the terrifying Ranatunga, was giving this random stranger such a wide berth - these are people who chop heads like they슬롯사이트™re harvesting sugarcane!슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Jaat슬롯사이트� Trailer: Did Thaman S Borrow From Anirudh Ravichander슬롯사이트™s 슬롯사이트˜Master슬롯사이트� BGM for Sunny Deol슬롯사이트™s Actioner? Fans Spot Similarities! (Watch Videos).

From that point, the action becomes repetitive, just as much as Sunny Deol reiterating he is Jaat. Upendra Limaye shows up for one of his now-trademark hammy cameos. More bodies get chopped, shot, hung - basically subjected to every kind of violence you can squeeze into a U/A-rated film and still get censored. By the end, it슬롯사이트™s all so numbing. Because really, all this film has is violence. Oh, and a subplot about the villages harbouring a rare radioactive element - wasn슬롯사이트™t that also in Ravi Teja슬롯사이트™s Eagle? Ranatunga슬롯사이트™s equally cruel wife Bharathi (Regina Cassandra) explains this in full to the captured cops, just so we, the audience, aren슬롯사이트™t left out. Thanks for the exposition, lady!

'Jaat' Movie Review - The Performances

As for performances: this is classic post-Gadar 2 Sunny Deol - loud, fiery, occasionally mellow. At least he feels more in command than another superstar I saw last week in a film directed by yet another South filmmaker. Randeep Hooda is menacing enough as Ranatunga. I was genuinely disappointed to see Vineet Kumar Singh wasted in a glorified henchman role, where he mostly just gets thrashed around. Their casting also feels odd, particularly since they are supposed to be Sri Lankan Tamilians, and they are surrounded by Tamil and Telugu cast members, making them stick out like sore thumbs.

Regina brings the sass in yet another villainous turn. Saiyami Kher is alright in a role that슬롯사이트™s basically 슬롯사이트˜damsel in distress슬롯사이트�. Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, Makarand Deshpande, Zarina Wahab, Babloo Prithiveeraj, and Ajay Ghosh round out the rest of the star-studded cast.

'Jaat' Movie Review - Final Thoughts

By the time Jaat wraps up - after what feels like several rounds of the same fight scene copy-pasted with different backgrounds -슬롯 머신 사이트 추천I was left wondering what exactly I was슬롯 머신 사이트 추천meant to take away from it all. Is it a sermon on valour, a desperate attempt to cash in on South wave, or just a stitched-together reel of violent set-pieces with a vaguely nationalist flavour? Whatever it is, subtlety left the building long before Sunny paaji슬롯 머신 사이트 추천mentions his character's caste for the first슬롯 머신 사이트 추천of the many times. If this is what we keep being served in the name of pan-India cinema, maybe it슬롯사이트™s time to start panicking. Or has that ship already set sail?
