Just before being taken to the curved screen in the Interval Plate theater, a bullet pierces through his torso, ripping through the other side, as if a particle of blood comes out of his mouth - as if he had just bitten into litchi. Except, we're puking blood too. And some of it is coming out of our ears and eyes.

Marjaavaan Movie Review

Milap Zaveri's story of Marjavan is simple - Head goon Narayan Anna (Nassar) Raghu (Siddharth Malhotra) has a right-hand man whom he loves more than his son. His son Vishnu Anna (Ritesh Deshmukh), therefore, fell short of both his father's love and his physical height. Raghu, an orphan, is secular - it needs a mention as many minutes have been spent in the screenplay to establish it. And for those who were still unaffiliated. Look at the knuckles of Raghu, four religious symbols are inscribed on each finger. He has three loyal friends, one of them a Muslim for representation. Didn't we tell you that he is secular? We meant, okay?

Arzu (Rakul Preet Singh) is a naughty girl who falls in love with Raghu, who loves Chudwana but is not committed. We didn't say he was awake, remember? And then there is Zoya (Tara Sutaria), a silent girl who wants to change the lives of slum children through music. She wants to identify talented singers and musicians, takes them to Kashmir for a music competition, which, she believes, will win with her expert help, and as such, it will change their lives. To drive this idea, there's a little boy wearing a T-shirt who reads, "Come take your time." We needed another Zoya to bring it to the context of Gully Boy, that's just so meta. Raghu falls in love with Zoya and promises to convert Dharavi to Indian Idol.

In all of this, there is a Chulbul Pandey-looking Ravi Kishan (Ravi Yadav), a cop who wants a father-son duo behind bars and seeks Raghu's help for this, and the subsequent promotions. Will follow He has no other significance in the larger scheme of things, except occasionally to present himself as Raghu's life coach.

Marjawan builds his action inspiration from Dabangg, Wanted or other Rohit Shetty films, but on the contrary, it also takes itself seriously. Any Salman works in favor of Khan's pagan, sometimes, it provokes itself. While Milap Zaveri, who also has the film's writing credit, actually believes that he is creating heartwarming romance, factional action and pioneering dialogue (Are You Directing Amitabh from Day 1 Recalls Bachchan's frequent references to the Angry Young Man?). As the sentiments of Tara Sutaria in the film, the backline is also a myth.

There is no acting in the film. Unless the smell of teeth is promoted in that condition. Ritesh tries, but it is impossible to take a serious villain seriously who speaks in poetry. It is equally impossible to take Ganapati (the forehead) and the hero who sings Ganapati in grave danger to his word.

Therefore, we are going to move forward with clothes. In mid-November, Delhi finds itself in a dilemma about the iconic leather jacket - to wear or not to wear. Raghu wears a leather jacket like his armor in Mumbai. Zoya only wears a Lucknow-based chicken kurta with silver earrings in pastel shades and nude while applying baby pink lipstick as she is a cute 'good-girl'. Arzu, the modern Chandramukhi, is drawn to a loud color and shimmering silhouette and has a tattooed midriff that she should never cover.

Marjawan has nothing that we can take away, apart from a deranged obsession when we see in Vishnu that he had a realization of his foe, Raghu, not interested in continuing the enmity, despite provoking at times. At that time, Vishnu's life was purposeless, so what do you do when your opponent drops his weapon and goes away? If only the producers had spent more time developing these spots of the story, rather than those elaborate, yet ineffective song-and-dance scenes.
