Review : Shikar

Rating of this Product: 2.5/5

Cast : Ajay Devgan, Shahid Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Amrita rao, Javed Sheikh, Sushant Singh, Farha.
Director : John M. Mathan.

The movie was highly awaited as its a 2nd movie by director John (Sarfarosh) M. Mathan. It wins as far as we see the story line,
direction acting and camera work.It reminds us movies like Swadesh and Naya daur. Yes it has a social message.The big problem is, today there is no one ready to take gyaan from movies, otherwise Swadesh would have been a big hit. The movie start well, showing the materealistic world, with Ajay Devgan as businessman, ready to go for anything to fill his pockets. Then came javed as Baba looking for planting lakhs of trees, to save environment. And here the clashes starts between the good and the bad. The first half is fantastic with some light comic moments and great performances.Javed Shiekh as Baba has done an excellent job. Ajay devgan is good as always. Bipasha and Shahid are good. Amrita doesn’t have much to do, but shown good performance. There is not much scope for Sushant singh and Farha.The movie starts dragging in second half as the end is very much predictable, and there is not much to tell. It needs trimming by atleast 15 minutes.John has taken excellent story, but could have made a better film. Overall, It can be watched once.


Pros: Story, cast, direction, photography
Cons: jerky screenplay in 2nd half
Best to watch with: Friends
