With one successful cop franchise, Singham, in his list of successful franchise films, director Rohit Shetty is adding more to the list. Simbaa with Ranveer Singh was first attempt in the diversification and Sooryavnshi with Akshay Kumar in the lead is the next attempt to create another franchise.
The trailer of Sooryavnshi tells you the entire story in a nutshell. While both Singham and Simbaa were Goa based, Sooryavnshi is Mumbai based. The villain or the evil cops are fighting in Singham series and Simbaa is local in nature but Sooryavnshi is tackling no less than Jaish-e-Mohammed. Akshay Kumar would not have settled for anything less going by his modern Bharat ka beta (don\’t confuse with the Salman Khan starrer) avatar.
Obviously the scale is huge with this kind of background but the problem is also obvious in Rohit Shetty films. The script is never the king. It\’s the stunts and the typical Rohit Shetty style of cars flying in and out. Sooryavnshi trailer is no different.
With Akshay Kumar as lead the action scenes have a chopper sequence, a bike sequence and lots of commandos in action. With just 22-days left for the release of the film, expect yourself to be bombarded with Akshay Kumar, Rohit Shetty interviews on channels, newspapers. The film is relying heavily on Akshay Kumar Katrina Kaif jodi and to encash the same there is a recreated Akshay Kumar hit. The Tip tip barsa paani song will hit the airwaves soon but will it convert into box office collection remains to be seen. Towards the end of there is good Muslim and bad Muslim gyan. Wonder how ruling government supporters are going to use it in the days to come.
Overall Sooryavnshi trailer was on expected lines. You don\’t expect Rohit Shetty to churn out a Shool or Sehar. This is what he is capable of and this is what we should expect from someone who is not willing to learn from his past mistakes.
