Overall Critics Ratings: 2.5/5 (two and a half stars) [yasr_overall_rating size=”large”]

After the feelings about Shri Ram in our country, if a film comes in the name of Shri Ram and talks about Ram Setu related to him, then it is not a big deal to discuss about this film. But can only Ram’s name cross the road of the film? You will know this in this review. The film Ram Setu is another new introduction to the new generation of Indian cinema, which is interested in folk tales like Kantara. Director Ayan Mukerji started this work in Hindi cinema, and he too had to face the hate campaign on social media around Da Vinci Code but not the same. The year isn’t over yet and actor Akshay Kumar hasn’t received any good news at the box office since his last hit Sooryavanshi. Just before Sooryavanshi, a flop film Bellbottom and Sooryavanshi, after three consecutive flops at the ticket window, Bachchan Pandey was released on Holi, followed by Samrat Prithviraj and then Raksha Bandhan released on Rakhi.

Ram Setu Critics Review: By Taran Adarsh, Komal Nahta, Anupama Chopra

The film Ram Setu is the last bridge of this year to maintain the brand value of Akshay Kumar in Hindi cinema. There has been a long tradition abroad of making suspense and thriller films by mixing mythology with modern thinking. And the most interesting example of this tradition was the film Da Vinci Code by director Ron Howard. In this film starring Tom Hanks, all such incidents related to the origin of Christianity were threaded into a modern story, Due to which many organizations of the Christian community opposed the film all over the world. This film is considered a hallmark of American democracy and its cinematic freedom. Director Abhishek Sharma is carrying forward this sequence of coincidence of the past and Naveen from the film Ram Setu.

Interesting premise, stunning visuals, decent first half, wonderful performances [AkshayKumar, SatyaDev]… But the second hour falls flat… Subject had tremendous potential, but the writing is a mess.

In conclusion of my Ram Setu review, I will say that the film excels on the story front but falters on the technical aspect. Satya is the biggest highlight of the film and the depiction and insistence on mythology might see some divided opinions, but it isn’t also something that will sound too people-pleasing as well. In a one line review for Ram Setu, I will say that the film offers an adventure that is indeed intriguing yet falls short on being epic.

Without getting too preachy, the film could’ve still held its ground with a script that was crisper and did not leave too many loose ends. The film is based on a premise that is interesting, but feels like a drag every now and then while also seeming too ambitious. Yet, even with all those things, it does make for a one time watch because it might all feel like worth your while in the end.

Ram Setu presents the faith-versus-science debate in a manner so ham-fisted and heavy-handed that one can sense from thousands of nautical miles away that it isn’t the least bit interested in an intelligent engagement with veracity, belief and reason. Sense is a bridge too far for Ram Setu. Its arguments, which do not hold much water anyway, are submerged by waves and waves of inanity.

If the build-up is disappointing, the climax only gets worse. Set in a courtroom, Aaryan rants about ‘progress not at the cost of sanskriti’. In its desperate attempt to reframe mythology as history and vice versa, it does a lot of disservice to Shree Ram’s legacy and faith in general. Barring a few decent chase sequences, Ram Setu has no spark and is way too preachy. Lord Rama doesn’t need a salesman or films acting as Instagram influencers for him.

All said and done, while I give this film a glowing one star, I’d still want you guys to watch this. Not because it has some saving grace, but because if Rajkumar Kohli (Jaani Dushman’s director) set out intentionally with an unlimited budget to make the worst movie ever, he could not have made something this bad.

Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu has a brilliant story at hand – where does science end and faith begin? Can literature, just because it has years on its side, be declared history? The argument rings obvious bells as you sit and watch Akshay’s Aryan tread this tricky path. Unfortunately, a brilliantly debatable and thought-provoking issue such as this is completely marred by terrible, terrible execution. Apart from tipping his hat to everything he thought he needed to – religion, faith, wokeism, wokeism in the realm of religion, religion in the time of wokeism – Abhishek Sharma (director, Ram Setu) does little more to really stir the pot. Ram Setu feels highly underwhelming. It has little or no cinematic appeal. In the end, it is neither funny nor serious.

On the whole, RAM SETU rests on an interesting premise and a well-executed climax. However, the film suffers majorly due to a lack of a convincing plot and poor VFX. At the box office, it will need strong positive word of mouth to sustain, especially after a not-so-encouraging opening.
