Thugs of Hindostan, Yash
Raj Films' is a Hindi action adventure film of 2018 directed by Vijay Krishna
Acharya, which is an unexciting movie. Stars of the movie are Amitabh Bachan,
Amir Khan, Fatima Sana sheikh and Katrina Kaif. Thugs of Hindostan is a joyless
slog in the guise of the movie, not every film seems to be uplifting inspiring
or even fun its real shame because thugs have all the ingredients for swash
buckling adventure there’s a thrilling action in the high seas and a clutch of
decent songs and of course the casting of two stars Amitabh Bachan and Amir
khan together on screen for the first time. The problem is that it’s all held
together by a moth-eaten script from some 70s an outdated plotting of
revenge.In start they show that British came to Hindostan to start business but
after some time they started taking hold on small businesses. At the same time,
they showed Ronak Pur king Mirza Skinadar Baig was killed by John Clive. All
the residents of his kingdom were murdered except for his daughter. She was
saved by a warrior named Khuda Baksh. After so many years they showed that he
trained her in the arts of welfare. They also show that Khuda Baksh leads a
gang of thugs known as AZAAD. Thugs is about a Gang of Rebels led by heroic
Khuda bakhsh played by Amitabh Bachchan who is trying to win back the Kingdom
of Ronak Pur from the East India company.British hire Firangi Mallah to spy on
thugs for England and the most colorful character is Firangi Mallah played by
Aamir Khan. He is duplicitous double-crossing a charming opportunist who cons
people for living.but as firangi says “betrayal is my nature”. After meeting
AZAAD he thought to betray British, then the Indians, then again British as he
is never quite sure which side he is on. Firangi is an Indian but he is under
protection of British. The film is infect riddled with corny bits involving
protection bracelets and poisonous ludoos. This film has many scenes that are
taken from other movies. Like pirate of Caribbean had a monkey but, in this
movie, they took an eagle whenever you expect to see it flies away.They
copied different species but with same theme. Frankly we are equally tormented
by the way that Clive in the air the British officers Murder the Hindi
dialogues for some reason e.g. two British soldiers are talking to each other
in Hindi which is very illogical. It’s a good thing that action scenes are
nicely mounted and executed especially the ones in which rival ships go on war
on the sea. An early sequence in which a horse is smuggled on to a ship is
especially impressive. Amir khan is the best part of movie, his dialogues and
joy full nature made the movie funny. But for most parts Thugs of Hindostan is
a humorless solemn affair. I would like to give 2/5 for this movie.
