Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It features one of the worst direction and storyline. The CGI is pathetic and cinematography below even a low budget movie. The premise might have been passable, but the movie fails before it even runs up to take off. Very poorly researched and logically implausible to be called a "biopic". If a submarine starts leaking and compressing before it reaches 300 metres, how can it even sustain a fall below that, let alone make somersaults in the water after being battered? If the motive of the film was to generate patriotism, I have no doubt in saying that this movie is an insult to the Indian Navy.

I was really happy to see Hollywood level quality at the beginning of the movie, but after that, it became an average over dramatic movie like just another typical Hindi movie. It was tedious to watch the last 20 minutes.Visual effects are good, however the facts are really not followed. And, It really is not at all like the real incident of Gazhi attack.They could have at-least made the living condition inside a submarine correctly.. It is entirely wrong in this movie.

This film stirs up patriotic feelings but that does not change the truth about the quality of the film. This is a badly made and badly enacted film. None of the actors do a good job. Rana Daggubatti, least expected to stand out in a cast populated by Kay Kay Menon and Atul Kulkarni, surprisingly does. Taapsee Pannu's character is a waste of filmreel and her portrayal suggests she seemed to know it. The acting is lazy as is the writing and the production. Watch it for a dramatised version of historical events if you wish but do not be misled by IMDb rating given by overenthusiastic fans (or marketing bots).

Okay, all you haters. Personally, I think you're all idiots. This is a good film. And is riveting from start to finish. What stops it from gaining universal love is the last 10 minutes are an absolute disaster. It's like those Indian cricket team performances about 20 years ago. Tendulkar would hit a ton. But India would lose. In that sense the climax where Rana single-handedly launches a torpedo is ludicrous and destroys everything that the writers had built up until that point. It is this that creates the hatred from some people I think. All right Taapsee Pannu needn't have been in the film. Now why I think this is a good effort is the until those last 10 minutes, Sankalp Reddy, in my opinion does string together a riveting tale. While his technique isn't that good of a Hollywood A-lister (this lack of technique results in the film not being as suspenseful as it should be)he still knows enough to keep the story chugging along. Also he's attempted a genre that no one has in the history of Indian cinema and he deserves all the praise he can get.The film lacks a strong lead character and the protagonist duties keep shifting. Is it the captain played by KK? Is it Atul Kulkarni? Is it Rana? This lack of focus prevents the audience from forming the crucial empathy for the lead character which would have made everyone like this film. So while the film has momentum it lacks emotion - simply because we don't know or care who's involved. And here is where I come to the crucial mistake committed by the writer. They killed off their best character. The captain. And from then on it's a downward spiral held together only by the threat of the enemy submarine.Because of this screenplay blunder the film ends up a like a sports car with a faulty clutch. It can move fast but the gear shifts jar. Resulting in a bumpy ride.But still all you haters this ain't garbage. Far from it.It's a good movie. Nowhere near great. But maybe another director, a superhitmaker (yet to come), will deliver. Truly deliver.Until then, kudos to the team behind The Ghazi Attack
