Our take on ‘Bell Bottom’
The first half of the movie is spent in the introduction of Anshul Malhotra played by Akshay Kumar who is an intelligent man. The story revolves around his character, his bonding with his wife and mother, and how he chose to become a RAW agent. As Taran Adarsh said, the first half is just a build-up of the second one.
The direction of the movie is amazing and Ranjit Tiwari deserved to be praised for his work. One of the best things is that story doesn’t lose focus on the mission and the sense of urgency. The filmmakers have also focused on separating the lead’s personal and professional life.
The first half of the movie is a little confusing and slow however, the climax of the movie is built nicely. Some people may argue that the movie is low on emotions but as the theme of the movie is action and patriotism, it is justified.
As for the acting part, Akshay Kumar had always enjoyed these kinds of roles and given his best. As for other actors, they all have done a good job and gave us a good movie to watch.
