Shivaay (Ajay Devgn), a dauntless Himalayan mountain climber shrouded in Lord Shiva tattoos, heads to Bulgaria to satisfy his nine-year-old girl Gaura’s (Abigail Eames) wish of seeing her mom Olga (Erika Kaar), who deserted them years prior. In any case, their arrangement goes for a hurl when the young lady gets captured in the remote land. Protecting her from the veiled kid traffickers turns into his purpose behind survival.
Audit: On heart-beating thumps of Bolo Har, Shivaay has a stupendous opening scene that sees Ajay diving unsafe Himalayan precipices like a genius. The shocking cinematography catches the mountains like no Hindi film has overseen up until now. You feel you are in for an adrenaline pumping ride and expect a harrowing survival dramatization to unfurl in the slopes, on the lines of “Cliffhanger” or ‘Vertical Limit’. Be that as it may, the film takes a threadbare turn and winds up resembling a moderate mo form of Liam Neeson’s “Taken” establishment.
The grabbing of his daughter changes our chillum-smoking cool trekker into an enraged killer, who promises to bust the tissue trade racket in Bulgaria. A little while later high-octane, gravity and stunning move groupings make the point of convergence of the crowd, which are keeping pace with the Hollywood motion pictures. An increased auto seek after game plan particularly is exceptional.
In any case, the film has its issues, most prominent being its run-time (3 hours) and henceforth, poor adjusting. Ajay, who is perhaps in each packaging of the film doesn’t know where to stop as a boss. Scenes tend to continually, nullifying their own particular importance. His craving to unendingly hassle the ‘father-young lady sensation’ makes his movement thriller unfavorable, an odd wreckage of various types that surrenders you exhausted.
Bragging of magnificent creation values, we wish Ajay had placed assets into a predominant story as well. You don’t feel for the characters or their trouble. His quick estimation with Hindi-speaking Olga, which blossoms in a less lit falling tent is crazy.
Sayyeshaa Saigal makes a not all that awful Hindi introduction. Girish Karnad, who plays her father, winds up being the accidental happy component, inferable from his awkward, gooey talked.
All around, Ajay is tenacious in Shivaay anyway you wish he wasn’t! Bound with visual splendor, you adulate his film’s mind-boggling canvas yet regardless of the attempts, his second directorial meander fails to interface with you internally.
AJAY’S NEVER-ENDING SAGA IS HIGH ON ACTION BUT LACKS SOUL
