![]() His scene with Jackie Shroff asking him to about the dilemma of his sons is brilliant. Sidharth Malhotra is avg in first half but comes into his own in the second half. His acting in climax is superb and he is at the peak of his career as an actor. Akshay Kumar takes his acting notch above baby and comes up with a subtle yet intense performance. I wish the film was directed by these two instead. In this process, he allows himself to take a few blows if needed. His signature moves are about exposing weaknesses of the fighter and then dominating them with technique. His style is a different personality by itself. He views his opponents like his brother and thinks of ways to knock him out as fast as possible. They reflect a personality of one kind of fighting style. Siddharths fight scenes are about not just about brute force. Thanks to these two talented people that at least each of the fight scenes has a unique personality and attitude in them. The real coolness and brain of brothers is thanks to Eric Brown and Micheal Leher, the action choreographers. What is the need to show expressions of Jacqueline and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in between, every single time? who cares how they are reacting! we want to see the fights uncut and in flow. The fight scenes are so well choreographed but camera-work is not as good. But every time the adrenaline rush is poised to reach the next level, Karan squanders it by slowing the pace with irrelevant scenes. The action choreography is not just brilliant but 1000000 MILES AHEAD of anything BW has given so far. The training montage of Akshay and Sid is awe- inspiring. The heart of the film lies in R2F ( meant to be UFC of real world) championship. No fault of Sid Malhotra who has done very well in is role. ![]() here Sid is shown as a "dutiful" son which is filmy and reduces the complexity of the character. Karan has tweaked the character of tom hardy who had a rather coolness about himself that he dint care about any of his family members. There is no need to slow down and stretch them so much. ![]() WE get the lives and turbulence of each of them in first instance. Jackie Shroff is a drunkard who has doting wife/son and a step son. But I am not a fan of overstretched scenes which is the case in a lot of scenes of brothers. I loved pace of Drishyam, gone girl, Shawshank redemption and so on. It helps invest ourselves into the characters. He had plenty of them in Agneepath climax and it is there in plenty all throughout brothers especially in first half. But there is a self-indulgence in him which he is unable to control in some of the films important junctures. It was to the point and he has a knack of extracting great performances from his cast. Karan Malhotra, the director of new Agneepath had impressed me with his intense and focus in direction in his first film.
