Khuda Haafiz Chapter 2 Agni Pariksha Film Overview

critic’s score: 



2.5/5

Khuda Haafiz: Chapter II – Agni Pariksha is a revenge fantasy on steroids. Director Faruk Kabir appears to be impressed by such movies as Taken and No person, the place seemingly extraordinary males get confronted with extraordinary conditions and miraculously rise above them, turning from underdogs to alphas within the blink of an eye fixed. The distinction between these Hollywood movies and the current one is that of coherence. Nonetheless over-the-top they might be, they go for a coherent plot and suspense constructing. Khuda Haafiz doesn’t do any of that and therefore comes throughout as boring fare. It’s additionally fairly gradual for an motion flick.

The movie is a direct sequel to Khuda Haafiz (2020), additionally directed by Faruk Kabir. The unique was way more participating than the sequel, because it had Vidyut Jammwal showcasing his martial arts abilities fairly early and was crammed with entertaining characters like Annu Kapoor’s Usman Hamid Ali Murad, the pleasant taxi driver, Shiv Pandit’s Faiz Abu Malik, a rogue policeman, and Aahana Kumra’s Tamena Hamid, a gutsy cop who received a killer kickass second within the movie.

Nothing substantial occurs within the first half, which is devoted to giving a backstory of kinds to the characters. We see that Sameer (Vidyut Jammwal) and Nargis’ (Shivaleeka Oberoi) marriage is in tatters as she is affected by the aftermath of being the sufferer of a number of rapes when she was kidnapped within the Center East. To take her thoughts off her struggling, Sameer brings dwelling Nandini (Riddhi Sharma), the orphaned daughter of a pal. Nargis quickly bonds with Nandini, and the going goes clean for some time. Nonetheless, Nandini and an older lady get kidnapped at gunpoint by some senior college students of their faculty. Each are gangraped and Nandini loses her life due to the trauma. An enraged Samir badly beats up the cop investigating the case and shortly finds himself in jail. The remainder of the movie is devoted to how he turns into a killing machine contained in the jail and manages to take his revenge on those that have wronged him. On the finish, he’s proven to have turn out to be a bahubali of kinds—somebody who runs a parallel authorities. Be ready for an additional sequel to reach.

We all know that Sameer had the flexibility to turn out to be a one-man military. That has been proven amply within the movie. Our drawback is that his eruption comes fairly late. Perhaps non-linear enhancing may have served the movie higher. Additionally, there’s no novelty to the fights. As compared, the combat choreography within the first movie was a lot better. It was extra visceral and uncooked. Vidyut Jammwal is one in every of our most interesting martial artists and previously has wowed us along with his methods. Right here, he has been made to do an ’80s-style motion, which makes us really feel he’s been underutilised. His sincerity can’t be denied, however lack of excellent writing stymies his efforts. Shivaleeka Oberoi has to look martyred all through and manages to look convincing doing that. She ought to put money into extra rounded characters sooner or later. Probably the most fascinating character within the movie is Sheela Thakur, performed by Sheeba Chaddha. She performs the basic villain with a nuanced edge to her portrayal, however even her efficiency isn’t sufficient to raise the movie, which falls prey to the variety of cliches it espouses.

Vidyut Jammwal doesn’t must show his credentials as an motion star. What he wants are higher scripts and administrators. He ought to say Khuda hafiz to such half-baked merchandise and transfer on…
