Cast: Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, Amitabh Bachchan, Rehman, Ziad Bakri, Girish Kulkarni, Jameel Khan, Shruthy Menon, Elli AvrRam Director: Vikas Bahl Language: Hindi Filmmaker Vikas Bahl has an interesting filmography. Starting with a brilliant children’s movie Chillar Party, he won millions of hearts with Kangana Ranaut’s Queen. While his Shaandaar turned out to be a colossal disappointment, he bounced back with Hrithik Roshan starrer Super 30 followed by an emotional & heartwarming movie Goodbye. While there are hits and misses in this list, what we can easily make out is Vikas Bahl’s versatility as a filmmaker. His latest outing _Ganapath_ featuring Tiger Shroff in the titular role, has been set in the futuristic aka apocalyptic world. While the promos & songs garnered curiosity among the audience, does it live up to the expectations? Let’s find out… The movie starts with the voiceover played by Dalapati (Amitabh Bachchan), who narrates the aftermath of a war, which led to massive destruction across the globe and there were hardly any places for the survival of mankind. Taking advantage of this tragic scenario, rich, powerful and greedy people built a luxurious and highly technological place for themselves and named it Silver City. On the other hand, poor people are thrown into a place with minimal necessities for survival. The poor people become hopeless and fight with each other for minimalistic things. Witnessing that Dalapati makes a ring and tells them if they are frustrated or angry come in the ring and fight. This trick of his works and unites all the basti people. But soon Dalini (menacing and cruel kingpin of the Silver City) sends his right hand John English to the basti, who destroys the ring and makes all the fighters a part of his bidding wrestling matches. With all the helplessness and hopelessness a child asks his mom in the basti when this unimaginable bad phase will come to an end, to which she replies that Ganapath will come one day (predicted by Dalapati) and will bring their good times. Cut to, we see the entry of Guddu (Tiger Shroff), who enjoys a lavish life in the Silver City. His main work is to identify the fighters for John English. Due to some important meeting, John tells Guddu to take his girlfriend Rosie to the club. However, Rosie tries to get intimate with Guddu and when John comes to know about this, he buries both of them alive but Guddu survives with god’s miracle. Kaizad, one of the important subordinates of John, tells Guddu to go to basti and meet Shiva and tell him that he is Ganapath. While Guddu is clueless about the situation and what lies ahead of him. We see his journey and transformation to Ganapath, which is filled with action-packed sequences along with entertaining elements. While the story will remind you of the typical 90s era, what keeps you hooked is Tiger’s action-packed avatar. Vikas makes sure to give us several whistle-worthy moments, which will make all the audience clap and hoot, especially in the mass centres. Talking about the performances, Tiger Shroff rules the screen in his action-packed avatar. Special mention about the scenes, where we see his grey shade, which he nails with ease and finesse. Kriti Sanon is in top perform. Right from showcasing her kickass action avatar with Nunchaku to some of the beautiful emotional moments, the gorgeous actress delivers a top-notch act. Her chemistry with Tiger is definitely one of the biggest highlights of the film. Rehman and Ziad Bakri as Shiva and John English are superb. And last but definitely not the least, Amitabh Bachchan’s cameo, who makes it memorable with his strong screen presence. On the whole, Ganapath is a mass entertainer, which is paisa-vasool in every aspect. Rating: 3.5 (out of 5 stars) Ganapath is playing in cinemas
