Cast: Aditya Roy Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Rannvijay Singh, Om Puri, Kirron Kher, Neha Dhupia, Rajpal Yadav etc.
Bollywood directors are experimenting in a rather harmless manner nowadays, and Action Replayy is the result of such an attempt from Vipul Shah, who entertained us with Namastey London and disappointed us with London Dreams in the previous years. However, Action Replayy is much much better than the boring London Dreams. In fact, it is entertaining and good. Moreover, the movie comes up with a pleasant surprise, Aditya Roy Kapoor. He is that type of typical bollywood guy, with his cute and innocent looks, and he is so lucky to get such a long role in such a big film. He performs equally, or even more than Akshay Kumar, in every sequence. In fact, he is the real hero of the movie.
So, the movie is about a son travelling back to 1970s to set his parents’ marriage alright. A lot of questions of plagiarism come along with the subject of travelling through time, but I never felt any resemblance with any other movie, this is original work, IMO. There are many flaws in the movie, but still it is enjoyable, with an interesting screenplay and good performances. Also, the songs are good, even though few of them are not properly placed. There are lot of entertaining moments throughout the film, some of them are very good.
The performances are good, and Aditya Roy Kapoor is on the top amongst all. Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are good, so as Rannvijay Singh, Om Puri, Kirron Kher, Neha Dhupia, Rajpal Yadav etc.
One big letdown is the ending of the movie, the credits begin to roll up so quickly, there should have been a proper ending. May be editor’s mistake!!
One doubt: Won’t Kishan and Mala recognise their old friend’s face when their son grow up??? It may even lead to a DNA test!!! :O
