There’s also the fact that though this film looks always to be on the move, it frequently stalls. This is Akshay’s most credible performance in a long time, and reminds us the actor he can be, when he is not up-ending monkeys and dogs in films pretending to be comedies.The supporting cast is handed out a few diverting tics, which includes a nice little turn by Ms Pannu as the girl who can give as good as she gets.īut the niggling discomfort caused by the pandering to stereotypes ( and the requisite nod to tokenism) colours our viewing. As the baby boomers aged, manufacturers and advertisers targeted this gigantic demographic. An enormous generation of babies became an enormous generation of children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and (more recently) seniors. (Also read: Get over ‘Heyy Babyy!’, Akshay Kumar arrives with ‘Baby’) The baby boom was not only a result of the healthy economy but also a major contributor to it. But the whole is familiar and much of it is tedious. Ajay and his band of merry men, the impossibly buff Daggubati, and the sulky computer expert Anupam Kher, cause some amusement as they race around Turkey and Nepal and the Middle East, tracking the baddies. If they can bash our guys, we are allowed to bash right back, no questions asked. So we are meant to cheer when the skilled counter-espionage agent Ajay (Akshay Kumar) breaks bones and smashes faces, while a gruesome interrogation sets the scene.
