Critic Review
Genius (2018)In the world of Prems & Rahuls we’ve our Genius named as Vasudev Shastri (Utkarsh Sharma). He’s a topper from IIT which is more of a Indian Institute of ‘Timepass’ than ‘Technology’. People sing songs in the campus, class & even loo, there’s no sign of professors, also teacher in mid of the exam goes out to talk on his phone with another lady teacher. Amidst all this Vasu manages to get into India’s top most intelligence agency RAW even before he finishes his college.
How? Why? Do not ask all these logical questions because, “Picture toh pappppa ni” (Munnabhai style). During the interval Papa Sharma introduces MRS (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who’s another self-acclaimed Genius working against the country. Now, going by his initials one must he must be some Malik Razak Shaikh but NO! Nothing in this film goes the way you think, he’s Mr. Samar Khan! So, RAW decides to track down Vasu while he’s on his own mission of catching MRS..
director Anil Sharma has taken too much upon himself. Yes, he has shown us what all his son is capable of doing but neglected to give us a well-rounded film in the process. Gadar is the film he's most known for and it clicked because of its strong emotion.
All said and done, Genius is one of those films which should be watched for its trashy value. It’s one of those films which should be reviewed ASAP by Kanan & Biswa on Pretentious Movie Reviews. If months from now Genius is coming on television, change .
There's a dialogue in the film which goes like, 'Dil Se Main Khelta Nahin, Aur Dimaag Se Khelne Deta Nahin.' Sadly, neither Genius succeeds over winning your hearts nor it's food for your grey cells. Stay away from this fare to keep your sanity intact..
You may have seen juvenile plots converted into watchable fare on screen only for their great production values and believable acting skills of actors. Not in Genius. Here, you cannot ignore its gratuitous jingoistic flavour, shoddy CGI, poor production q.
