It is the fourth movie by <strong>Remo D&#8217;Souza<\/strong> as a director. The movie is produced by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/udta-punjab-movie-review\/\">Balaji Motion Pictures<\/a>.<\/strong> The movie features <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/baaghi-movie-review\/\"><strong>Tiger Shroff<\/strong><\/a> in the title role along with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/dishoom-movie-review\/\">Jacqueline Fernandez<\/a>, Amrita Singh, Kay Kay Menon, Gaurav Pandey<\/strong> and <strong>Nathan Jones.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Plot<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Malhotra<\/strong>(Kay Kay Menon) is a rich industrialist who wants to make a bridge across a lake for easy transportations for his <strong>chemical factories.<\/strong> But the bridge cannot be built unless Kartar colony&#8217;s owner(Amrita Singh) sells the land to them. Also, there is a <strong>holy tree<\/strong> on the land which fulfills prayers. The owner has two sons, <strong>Aman<\/strong>(Tiger Shroff) and <strong>Rohit<\/strong>(Gaurav Pandey) who are just another common guys with normal lives. Malhotra hires <strong>Raka<\/strong>(Nathan Jones), a professional goon to saw the tree off. Aman sees him and starts a struggle with him and is beaten against the holy tree. A <strong>lightning bolt<\/strong> throws Raka away and next morning Aman wakes up with <strong>superpowers<\/strong>(as mentioned above).<\/p>\n<p>Aman decides to use his powers for good. Some days later, Raka rises from the <strong>chemical waste<\/strong> that the bolt threw him in. He now <strong>feeds on pollution<\/strong> and Malhotra hires him to kill Aman who is now known by the name of <strong>Flying Jatt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the trailer of A Flying Jatt here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content-asset videofit\"><iframe title=\"A Flying Jatt | Official Trailer | Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez and Nathan Jones\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1J9Z0qhKZqo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Story, Screenplay, and Dialogues<\/h2>\n<p>The story is pretty much taken off from some <strong>episode of Captain Planet<\/strong> or so it seems. Both the story and the screenplay take up <strong>multiple inspirations<\/strong> from already <strong>popular superhero<\/strong> movies. For instance, the Flying Jatt adapts the <strong>super fast motions<\/strong> of <strong>quicksilver<\/strong> as exhibited in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/x-men-apocalypse-movie-review\/\"><strong>X-Men<\/strong> <\/a>franchise by moving through frozen coffee, changing the course of bullets and making goons punch themselves, while he saves the hostages. He also <strong>flies<\/strong> with his <strong>love interest<\/strong> in the superhero form which can clearly remind you of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swudzy.com\/batman-vs-superman-review\/\"><strong>Superman<\/strong><\/a> and <strong>Louis Lane.<\/strong> This almost made me cringe.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>characters<\/strong> of the movie are <strong>goofy to the core.<\/strong> For instance, the <strong>ultra bubbly<\/strong> romantic interest of Aman who <strong>punches people<\/strong> to <strong>show love<\/strong> and expresses <strong>a little too much<\/strong> for every dialogue. The only logical characters were Aman&#8217;s brother <strong>Rohit<\/strong>; and <strong>Malhotra.<\/strong> A good thing about the story was that the makers kept <strong>a villain who is actually more powerful<\/strong> than the hero for the most part of the third act.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the acts, the <strong>first act<\/strong> of the movie is <strong>utterly comical, without the comedy.<\/strong> The <strong>second act picks up interest<\/strong> in the plot but does not completely fulfill the task. The best part, however, is the <strong>first few minutes of the third act.<\/strong> The best moments in the movie come when <strong>Rohit wears his brother&#8217;s costume.<\/strong> And these moments include comedy and drama as well.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>dialogues<\/strong> are to be enjoyed <strong>only by the kids.<\/strong> Their parents will have to bear the movie for the kids. Overall, a <strong>below average<\/strong> writing effort.<\/p>\n<h2>Performances<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tiger Shroff<\/strong> once again <strong>flaunts<\/strong> his mesmerizing <strong>abs,<\/strong> magnetic moves and his love towards <strong>dance and acrobatics.<\/strong> However, during all this, he somehow forgets to measure his performance which is absent in some parts and <strong>overproportioned<\/strong> at others. Jacqueline is present in another <strong>useless role <\/strong>and <strong>tries too hard<\/strong> to make her presence felt. She looks <strong>extremely hot<\/strong> in the song <strong>Beat Pe Booty,<\/strong> though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amrita Singh<\/strong> does justice to her <strong>undercooked character<\/strong> of <strong>overactive Punjabi mom.<\/strong> <strong>Gaurav Pandey,<\/strong> who was last seen in <strong>Y-Films&#8217;<\/strong> web series <strong>Man&#8217;s World.<\/strong> plays the role of <strong>Rohit<\/strong> with believability. <strong>Kay Kay Menon<\/strong> tries to bring life to the character of powerless villain and is <strong>too good<\/strong> at the performance. He now has <strong>another superbad superhero movie<\/strong> to his name(Remember Drona). <strong>Nathan Jones<\/strong> was brought just for the purpose of <strong>looking bigger and bulkier than Tiger Shroff,<\/strong> and that is the only thing that he does well.<\/p>\n<h2>Music<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Sachin-Jigar<\/strong> is one of our <strong>favorite composer duo<\/strong> and my personal favorite. They have given some <strong>awesome tracks<\/strong> in this movie. The movie starts with Sachin Sanghvi&#8217;s daughter <strong>Tanishkaa Sanghvi<\/strong> singing <strong>Chal Chaliye<\/strong> with a beautifully <strong>sketch-animated video<\/strong> which sums up the movie better than the movie. Followed by it, there are three songs, i.e., <strong>Bhangda Paa, Toota Jo Kahin Tara, and Beat pe Booty,<\/strong> which <strong>could have been avoided<\/strong> without much impact to the main plot of the movie. However, the songs are <strong>quite good,<\/strong> especially Toota Jo KahinTaara.<\/p>\n<p>In the third act, the best song of the movie takes place. We are talking about <strong>Khair Mangda.<\/strong> It is the <strong>perfectly placed and perfectly composed<\/strong> song in the movie. Hats off to <strong>Sachin-Jigar, Atif Aslam,<\/strong> and <strong>Priya Saraiya.<\/strong> Also, another good track in the climactic fight is <strong>Raj Karega Khalsa.<\/strong> The <strong>title theme<\/strong> is also a great foot tapping number.Overall, a <strong>great effort at music,<\/strong> but <strong>not used<\/strong> strategically.<\/p>\n<h2>Effects<\/h2>\n<p>This is where the movie <strong>fails badly.<\/strong> The flying sequences are so unreal that <strong>Superman of Malegaon<\/strong> feels better executed in front of this. Especially when the performers take off to fly, their <strong>swing<\/strong> in the cable is clearly noticeable. The <strong>green screen<\/strong> is also not perfectly used. The <strong>climactic fight<\/strong> tries to remind of <strong>Man of Steel<\/strong> final fight between <strong>General Zod and Kal-El<\/strong> but ends up being a spoof. It is funny that the makers decided to have the\u00a0<strong>fight in space<\/strong> without giving breathing troubles to either of the characters. To be noticed is that they can <strong>walk, run, jump and land upright<\/strong> in a <strong>gravity-less<\/strong> atmosphere. They crash into satellites and much more. <strong>R.I.P. physics.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Direction<\/h2>\n<p>This is perhaps the <strong>worst directorial effort<\/strong> by <strong>Remo D&#8217;Souza.<\/strong> He won hearts with <strong>F.A.L.T.U<\/strong>, was innovative with <strong>ABCD<\/strong> and <strong>ABCD2,<\/strong> but this looks a <strong>mess<\/strong> considering the last three movies were actually entertaining. He <strong>raises an issue<\/strong> but does not manage to execute it the way he would have wanted. The way he directs the actors is the worst aspect of his film. However, he <strong>does extract<\/strong> great work from the <strong>composer duo<\/strong> of Sachin Sanghvi and Jigar Saraiya. <strong>A decent direction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p><strong>A Flying Jatt<\/strong> is a <strong>well-intentioned but ill-executed<\/strong> movie. It has the heart but it is hidden in meters thick flesh of nonsense. The characters are uninteresting and the effects are jarry. The movie &#8216;might&#8217; be liked by the <strong>kids under 12 years,<\/strong> but anyone above that age is probably going to <strong>feel cheated by the movie.<\/strong> The second act and the first few minutes of the third act are the best part in the movie. <strong>Watch it, but at your own risk,<\/strong> as we doubt the Flying Jatt might not come to save you.
