The highly anticipated film by Karan Johar, Liger: Saala Crossbreed has started running in the theatres. Everything was going fine, the film had a Pan-India approach, the buzz was decent and the first look looked promising.
But then, the trailer dropped. Then, the promotions and interviews started and the tables turned.
The trailer was pathetic, the interviews helped ignite hatred against the film, and promotions called for a boycott.
But everything could be managed if the film came out to be good.
Did it? Oh no. The reviews which are pouring are pathetic and there is no way this movie is going to survive anywhere in India.
Even the domestic market of Vijay Deverakonda, which is in the Telugu region, will most certainly reject the film. The Hindi audience is choosy to a whole new level nonetheless.
The stammering act by Deverakonda doesn’t work and Ananya Panday acts as a mere decoration piece with nothing substantial in her character.
Due to the buzz of the film, it may garner a decent opening but its fate is certainly going to be a replica of the film’s screenplay. It starts on a decent note but falls on its face as soon as the second half starts.
Dharma Productions scored big with Jug Jugg Jeeyo and hopefully it will create a blockbuster with Brahmāstra.
But Liger: Saala Crossbreed is a big miss. The film is getting promoted with #WattLagaDenge but in reality, “Film Ki Watt Lag Gayi.”
