Shamshera

Ranbir Kapoor, after 4 years of hiatus, is back with his highly-anticipated film Shamshera. Helmed by Karan Malhotra, Shamshera hit the theatres on July 22. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles.

The film has been bankrolled by Yash Raj Films and the plot revolves around the fictitious city of Kaza where a tribe was tortured and enslaved by ruthless general Shudh Singh. The film is out and so are the reviews. Here’s a look at what news websites have to say about the action drama.

Shamshera review by NDTV

Reviewed by Siabal Chatterjee, the headline read, ‘Ranbir Kapoor’s period film is Thugs of Hindostan-level bad.’ The leading daily gave 1 out of 5 stars to Shamshera.

“Moral of the story for Ranbir Kapoor – the actor should henceforth read his scripts with a more critical eye before buying into them. He owes it to his talent,” reviewed NDTV.

Shamshera review by India Today

In his review, Tushar Joshi said Ranbir Kapoor’s film is only sham and no shera.

“A film like Shamshera that’s already so heavy on the theatrics, songs (four tracks in the first half) only derail the narrative from going ahead and make the experience sluggish. The songs in Shamshera are a big letdown. Also, you can’t help but notice the attempts to bring in a bit of the KGF and Baahubali feel to the scenes,” reviewed India Today.

Shamshera review by Times of India

Reviewed by Rachana Dubey, the leading daily gave 2.5 stars out of 5 to Ranbir Kapoor’s starrer. The headline read, ‘A slow-paced action drama with revenge and freedom at its core.’

“Without giving away too many details of the film, one can say that by the end of it, you’ll be fatigued. The film feels far too stretched for its wafer-thin storyline – in fact, it crawls through the runtime with quite a few minor, but unmissable technical snags,” reviewed the Times of India.

Shamshera review by Bollywood Hungama

The entertainment portal gave 1.5 stars out of 5 stars to Shamshera. The headline read, ‘With an outdated script and predictable plot Shamshera falters big time.’

“Karan Malhotra’s direction is below the mark. On the positive side, he has handled the scale and grandeur very well. A few scenes, especially in the first half, work very well and give audiences some sort of paisa vasool experience. But in the second half, the film falls drastically,” reviewed Bollywood Hungama.

Shamshera review by Bollywood Bubble

Reviewed by Saheli Maity, Bollywood Bubble gave 3.5 stars out of 5 to Shamshera. The headline read, ‘Ranbir Kapoor starrer gives an epic cinematic experience but it is too dramatic and far toooo long.’

“The movie tries to explain the racial discrimination against a certain tribe and what caused them to become rebellious against society. However, the freedom struggle of the dacoits gets a little too dramatic and far toooooooooo long,” reviewed Bollywood Bubble.

Shamshera review by Hindustan Times

The Shamshera review by Monika Rawal Kukreja said the film has all the elements needed to make a mass masala entertainer back into theatres. The headline read, ‘Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt set the screen on fire with their loud action avatars.’

“Being a period drama, Shamshera is visually appealing though I felt in some scenes, the VFX could have been less clumsy. Neelesh Misra and Khila Bisht’s story is engaging and entertainment at the same time,” reviewed Hindustan Times.

Shamshera review by Firstpost

For Anna MM Vetticad, Shamshera is a politically evolved version of Baahubali fronted by a gorgeous Ranbir Kapoor.

“It becomes possible to grant this film some indulgences, idiosyncracies and its visual resemblance to earlier iconic films since it is brimful of conviction. So, for instance, that train robbery in Shamshera is wolf-whistle material, but the special effects could have been better. Sanjay Dutt overacts,” reviewed Firstpost.
