Having seen the awesome action thriller Thuppakki (Tamil 2012), I had quite low expectations from this remake even though it stars the action king Akshay Kumar. I must say this film is just awesome!! A.R. Murugadoss (Ghajini) maintains a perfect balance between the comedy, drama & thriller in a whole a perfect combo! Akshay Kumar is awesome in every angle whether its action (duh!), humor & drama sequences. He brings in something new which was missing in the Tamil version (No offense Tamil movie goers), a certain amount of charge & clearly looks the part. Sonakhi Sinha does what she is clearly enjoying for sometime now, singing & dancing. Freddy Daruwala has debuted as main villain but he has flat expressions throughout the film, he is not where close to Vidyut Jamwal’s killer portrayal in the original. A big surprise is Govinda, who appears in four scenes & does what he is great at! Tickle your funny bone. People who have seen the Tamil version may be a bit disappointed as the film is a clear frame to frame remake of the original. Nevertheless if you are in mood to have a good time at the movies & wanna know why Akshay Kumar is a superstar, this film is one of the best ways to spend your Holiday!
