Power trailer review

Power plot is about Vidyut Jammwal and Shruti Haasan's characters who are in love and are about to get married. But a family feud ensues as one of Haasan's family members gets killed unexpectedly assumed to be by someone from  former's family. Love transforms into vengeance as Haasan declares to him angrily, “Mere pet mein jo bachcha hai, uski kasam khati hoon, Thakur khandaan ka ek bhi insaan zinda nahi rahega. Sabko khatam kar dungi main (I swear on my unborn child that one from Thakur family will live. I will kill m all).” Shruti is n seen shooting people (very much femme fatale), where Vidyut is seen doing excellently choreographed stunts beating his villains to a pulp.

It seems like he is Tiger Shroff's only competition when it comes to being excellent 'stunt-men' and sub-par acting skills with robotic facial expressions. director, Mahesh Manjrekar, who is well kwn for his roles in Wanted (2009) and Singham (2011), plays Vidyut's far in film. Prateik Babbar also has a supporting role. trailer seemingly depicts this film as a Jammwal action entertainer, but gives us impression that it's just ar run of mill action film with typical Bollywood elements of romance intermingled with a vengeance (re: Mohit Suri's Ek Villain). trailer is kind of poorly edited with jarring cuts and slow-motion action sequences.

As many YouTube comments have accurately pointed out, background music in trailer is also as jarring as editing, making dialogue a little hard to hear. trailer depicts Vidyut violently punching all bdies as blood spurts out in slow motions and he breaks knuckles, bones, glasses, wood, and whatever object he can find on his victim. Even Shruti Haasan's voice is weirdly dubbed, which was unexpected. Power cast also includes Jisshu Sengupta and Sachin Khedekar in supporting roles. film will be released on Zee Plex's pay-per-view platform, for a minal fee of Rs.199 and will also be available on Zee5 and or cable network channels. film will also be available to stream in Tamil, Telugu and Kanna.
