Why is it that most movies have a promising first half and go downhill in the second half? The same happens with Nishikant Kamat’s Force, a remake of South-Indian film Khakka Khakka.
John plays Yashwardhan, a tough, drug-busting cop. He has three colleagues. He happens to meet Maya played by Genelia, an over-enthusiastic NGO worker who makes up for his lack of emotional expression. Naturally, they fall in love and get married. He shoots a drug lord, Reddy (Mukesh Rishi) so his brother Vishnu (Vidyut Jammwal) tracks him down for revenge.
The drug-busting first half and few portions of the second half are engaging. Sadly, the movie starts meandering in the lengthy second half. You are disappointed by the end. Three people actually walked out of the auditorium and many of us were bored enough to pass comments! Some emotional portions such as the funeral scene could have been edited and the number of deaths could have definitely been reduced. Force loses the plot in the second half making you wonder what’s happening. It is just like Khakka Khakka but the makers could have changed some portions to keep the pulse alive and offer something new. The sad ending doesn’t really work. There are quite a few corny lines. Some confrontation scenes are not aggressive enough and you wonder how the actors could be so calm! The violence and bloodshed in the movie is excessive, especially for a ‘U/A’ certificate. The music is forgettable with the exception of Khwabon.
John doesn’t have too many expressions but that works for his tough-as-nails character, surprisingly. His beefy physique, no-nonsense appearance, rugged charm and good looks, and huge muscles make him an apt choice for the role and he looks convincing in the action scenes. The two face-offs between him and newcomer Vidyut Jammwal are a treat to watch and the highlights of the movie. Vidyut is easy on the eye but is not much of an actor but has an impressive physique and is absolutely spectacular in the action scenes, putting his martial arts skills to good use. The action sequences are believable and engaging. Sandhya Mridul has a fleshy role as Mohnish Behl’s wife and both of them do a good job. Genelia comes and goes. She plays a fiesty and guileless PYT. Half her job is done because she looks young and innocent. She is passable in her vivacious chatterbox act. Raj Babber plays John’s boss and his laid back character is quite ridiculous!
Watch Force, if you must, only if you are a John Abraham fan. There is plenty of him on display.
