The pace that is key to keeping an action thriller going is completely absent. If it had been Devgn’s intention to keep the audience glued to their seats for nearly three whole hours, he fails dismally.
To start with, Shivaay is an overly lengthy movie. The plot does leave us faintly reminiscent of the Pierre Morel film Taken and perhaps even Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It is here that an ordinary mountain climber is forced to take on the role of Shiva the destroyer when his daughter is kidnapped. Years later Shivaay goes to Bulgaria accompanied by his eight year old daughter Gaura (Abigail Eames). Despite the love she leaves to go back to Bulgaria after the birth of their daughter. He falls in love with one of them Olga (Erika Kaar). Shivaay (Ajay Devgn) is an avid mountaineer, an adventure enthusiast who sets out to train a group of college students. Shivaay opens to a bare chested massively tattooed mountaineer lying in the midst of a snow fields, atop a mountain peak, smoking a pipe. Devgn and the team, however, built up much suspense by being excessively tight-lipped about the plot. Shivaay’s trailer thrilled us all the way. The controversy surrounding ADHM may also play into Devgn’s hands. It is likely that Shivaay may do better in single screens than at multiplexes. The INR 105 crore budget, the international star cast, the exotic locales spanning from Mussoorie to Bulgaria – anything to take on the Diwali box office competition (Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil). His last directorial venture was about 8 years ago, a film that made the cut with critics and film lovers if not at the box office – Zakhm. It is not difficult to guess that Ajay Devgn is betting greatly on Shivaay’s success to facilitate his transition from an action hero to a full-fledged director. While we have come to expect action in any Devgn flick, Shivaay promises thrill, “an unmatched adrenaline rush” as many were calling it. It was when the trailer of Shivaay was released in early August 2016 that anticipation was piqued. When Ajay Devgn announced that he would be getting back to directing his own movie, not many seemed very interested.
