The best part of An Action Hero is how it manages to follow the beats of a typical action thriller, while at the same time not being a typical action thriller
8 December 2022
While the writing and direction is clever, witty and the humour, so relevant and oh so self-aware. The film is not happy just being that... at the same time it is also a relentless chase thriller

Having ayushmann Khurana who is the eternal boy next door "raja beta" play a badass action hero is in itself a statement. It is meant to put you off initially. Yeh kaise action hero. Then throughout the film, it works hard to prove itself wrong and make you believe. "haan yeh action hero hai" But the man who almost steals the show right under the nose of Ayushmann is Jaideep Alwaahat - a terrific actor who finally finds his groove after the brilliant patal lok. His presence elevates the movie and gives it the credibility that it needs, which it uses fully.
