He is literally there in every frame of the film. Shivaay is an Ajay Devgn show all the way. Also, weird dialogues such as “Jin ladkiyon ke achche Baap hote hai unki (ladkon ke liye) talash bohot lambi hojati hai” feel absurd. It’s hard to believe that a man who’s never stepped out of Himalayas, would so easily shut down a Bulgarian flesh trade racket.Ĭertain things that could be a problem are, Shivaay mentioning his friend ‘Kancha’ repeatedly. One such scene would be between Anu (Sayyeshaa)and her father.Īlso it is quite a big cinematic liberty on the writers’ part to make Shivaay’s character such a heroic, one man army one.

There are many scenes in the film which are meant to be tear jerkers but due to bad writing, turn out hilarious. Unfortunately, they do not confluence well. First they rip off the basic premiss from Taken, then amp it up dollops of emotional melodrama on father-daughter relations. Partly, it is them that Devgn must blame for his film turning out to be a bore. Shivaay has been co written by Sandeep Srivastava and Robin Bhatt. Sadly, even with his second film, Ajay’s script sense seems to have not improved. After years once again trying his hands at direction, the actor now comes up with Shivaay.
