Overall, “Dhanak” is an enthralling film that makes you smile.

Overall, the film, packed with forced symbolism, is a beautifully rendered piece full of nuance and subtlety. It moves along slowly but always keeps the audience captured with its intriguing intelligent quotient and bubbling tension.

Visually, the film is compelling with Johnny Breedt’s production designs, Mickey Kirsten’s special effects and cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos’s camera work, which include the spy camera footage which are put together by Megan Gill’s razor-sharp edits.

Overall, the film, though tense, has a notably playful flavour.

The visuals, along with the well-synchronised sound design, is what keeps you hooked to the two and a half hour plus duration span.

The film is aimed to create a sensory experience, which it does. If taken at face value, its linear structure could be deemed meaningless. However, if you approach it in a more metaphorical sense then the film works on a whole other level of, ‘the reborn’. It’s about nature communicating with man.

‘Neerja’ is definitely a white-knuckle ride, take it if you have the courage for it.

Perhaps it is the last fifteen minutes of the film, which drags a bit and given the few cinematic liberties that the directors have taken, becomes a little mawkish. Else, theirs is a love story that will touch your heart without a doubt.

As a whole, the film is very well put together with every Tarantino trick, but unfortunately it lacks the magnetism to draw.

Overall, ‘Monster Hunt’ will entice kids and adults alike.

Don’t miss the trials and tribulations of these seamen. This film is definitely worth a watch.
