Daava (1997) User Reviews

Painfull watch.

[ValleDk · 3/10 · 11 January 2022]

Daava a typical 90's Bollywood action Movie, with bad action scenes.

Not even one scene is close to being Well done.

Right from the guns sounding as toys, to the editing, and stunts. Not to mention Logic.

First of all We know that a hero dont need backup as a cop, But dude went from being a simple cop to doing speciel army assignements.

And the ones being the army guys act Nothing like it.

Second is a speciel ops Unit ( the indian version ) and these guys doing a stealth mission But the urge of yelling out the bad guys name loud and long enough to give him time to duck, so the combat Can begin. Is beyond stupid

The crying cop makes No sense and is not comedy But torture.

Story Line is very basic and Nothing new.

N. Shah is to old for his part.

Akshay was just a wimpy cop Unkown brotha was okey.

The mother was the same age as her OLdest son N. Shah.

Raveena was stupid and eye candy like every Movie back Then.

The villains did a Pretty decent job.

The informer Girl was okey-Ish. But to Young for her dancing male partner.

I didnt listen to the songs so cant rate Them.

If it's running on tv and you are bored to death it Will do. But dont ever Put it on yourself.

This is OK until the interval, gets worse and worse until the end

1997 was a horrible year for Akshay Kumar, he gave 7 flops in a row. This was his second flop after Insaaf. The movie is nothing new, same typical bollywood story. Here we have 3 villains(dons), all brothers with some minor villains. Here, we have a police officer Akshay Kumar who will do anything to stop crime, his entry was pretty good but then he gets boring complaining to his head that law only asks for proof but the culprit always wins. Naseer was really good( much better than Akshay). He was the only one who wasn't helpless like Akshay. He freely broke the law and killed the villains who killed their brother. Here, we also have a small time robber Raveena Tandon who falls for Akshay after a few misunderstandings. And, finally after all the intro's of characters and problems and conflicts, we have a solution. We all know that the solution is revenge, killing of all villains at their own territory. But, the ending was just dragged with more action. Coming to the rest of the movie,

Music: Horrible, not even as good as Main Khiladi Tu Anari. Acting: Pretty Good. Action/Stuns: Average, worst stunt was the Tinnu Anand killing one Lyrics/ Photography/ Direction: Average/ notthing great Akshay was considered a bad actor those days but he recovered in 1999 Naseer was an okay actor Overalll: Average 5/10

Awesome action film

I am surprised why so many people voted so poorly for this film as I personally felt this was a great action adventure film starring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon. Naseeruddin Shah, as always, had a commanding role throughout the film. Overall a fantastic film and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Akshay Kumar films as well as a pretty good filmy kick-ass storyline.

Film is about 3 brothers and how one brother being murdered by a group of underworld gangsters results in the remaining 2 brothers taking revenge. The background music is very good and atmospheric. I can think of Sunil Shetty being another actor who would have played an excellent role in such a film. Highly recommended film. A++
