Parineeti Chopra plays the role of “Durga” who is disguised as an Indian Muslim journalist seeking refuge from her family and then herself falling for the charming doctor, which is being played by the famous Punjabi singer Harrdy Sandhu. The movie is directed by Ribhu Dasgupta but clearly leaves you disappointed.
Music is the only thing which made the movie bearable
The film excels in capturing the essence of unconditional love through the enchanting song “Ki Kariye.” Also, Arijit Singh’s melancholic timbre in “Yaar Ve” strikes a chord, accompanied by Parineeti Chopra’s emotional performance. Despite not being a personal fan of music in patriotic action films, I found these songs holding my attention throughout.
However, the movie’s flaws become evident as it lacks thorough research and a solid foundation. Instead of a well-crafted movie, it falls into the trap of relying on Bollywood clichés. The portrayal of feminism through the female lead, combined with subpar acting and a repetitive plot, fails to deliver the desired impact. The movie’s attempt to create loopholes and generate suspense falls flat, leaving the you disappointed.
It is disheartening to witness the excessive emphasis on sensationalized elements like RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) without highlighting the intelligence and sophistication associated with such agencies. The movie feels like a series of disjointed scenes lacking coherence and substance. While it revolves around counterterrorism, it incorporates playful elements of hide-and-seek, adding an unnecessary twist.
So tired of the same patriotic storylines
The movie raises questions about the emphasis on patriotic themes without effectively exploring the emotions and real incidents behind them. Instead, it leans towards mindless action sequences akin to video games like GTA. The movie attempts to showcase women empowerment through Parineeti’s portrayal as an agent, but it falls short of expectations, resulting in her weakest performance to date. Sadly, the movie ends up being a wasted opportunity.
The cinematography deserves praise for capturing extraordinary landscapes, yet it fails to compensate for the overall lack of coherence in the story. Parineeti’s performance feels detached and unrealistic, particularly during chase scenes where the emotional depth is lacking.
While the supporting cast delivers commendable performances, the film ultimately falters due to its weak storyline. The filmmaker’s decision to defy logical coherence and have the hero/heroine effortlessly defy near-fatal injuries undermines what could have been a compelling narrative.
Overall, ”Code Name: Tiranga” fails to capitalize on its promising plot, resulting in a lackluster film experience. Despite the potential, the poor script weighs it down. However, if you want to enjoy the beautiful cinematography and lots action then it might be a good watch.
