Akki & Tiger together? This promises to be ridiculous fun.

Tonight I was torn between India and France. I chose India. Twas a poor choice.

I can’t believe I sat through almost 3 hours of this. I’m a huge fan of Akki & Tiger and this could’ve worked even without a plot, but it fails in the overblown bombasticality. It’s the new ‘most expensive film made in Bollywood’ and it spends a lot on locations and vehicles to blow up. If you like huge explosions with bodies flying, this film is for you. It would’ve made a devastating drinking game - take a shot for every flying body. The fights aren’t bad. Camera is a bit wobbly but there’s a few long takes and Tiger uses a karambit chain whip that was kinda cool. So much gratuitous slo mo. There’s a clever way to get the Akki v Tiger fight - clones! And the bromance has moments - Akki & Tiger redefine beefcake. The dance numbers hardly fit (no explosions) and the dance choreo and music is clunky. The hawties are super hawt. Sonakshi Sinha & Alaya F are now on my radar. But ultimately this doesn’t come together with its nationalism and flag waving. 

Not D00M recommended but none of you were headed this direction anyway. Honestly have any of you seen any Akki or Tiger flicks?

One funny bit was the villain wore this elaborate mask and would only reveal half of his face (the mask split conveniently into two face covering pieces) because like the phantom of the opera, he was horribly scarred. At the very beginning, the villain and his henchmen destroy a convoy carrying an ultimate weapon and when the villain makes a terrorist video over all the dead soldiers he says ‘I am doom.’ I did like that scene.

Where's the GIF?

Here's the best I can do at this time:


The title of this film is the title of an older comedy (it's a running joke in the film that I didn't quite understand) so all gifs are from the original film.

That reminds me - there was a lot of jokes about social media in this film that went by me too. India's relationship with social media is unique and didn't quite map on to my understanding of it - and I work there (in social media, not in India obvs).
