MOVIE REVIEW: Another huge disappointment from YRF. Shamshera is a slow-paced action period drama film that will test your patience for nothing. The poor storyline and the clueless screenplay can’t hold the audience. The direction is below par and the dialogues are terrible too.

Ranbir Kapoor has let down his fans with Shamshera, they all were waiting since 2018’s and after the massive success of Sanju, although his performance was decent but the expectations from Ranbir were high. Sanjay Dutt has nothing to offer new, it’s again the same loud & roaring act. Vaani Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, and Saurabh Shukla are wasted here. Scottish actor Craig McGinlay and other supporting actors delivered a mediocre performance.

The film has no exciting moments and it is filled with unnecessary and stretched scenes. If you still want to watch this film then wait for its OTT release. The cinematography, background score, and VFX are the film’s plus points.

Shamshera Movie Rating:
Direction 2/5
Acting 2/5
Dialogues 1.5/5
Story 1/5
Screenplay 1/5
Overall Hit ya Flop Rating: 1.5 out of 5 Stars (Not Watchable)
