Ghayal Once Again Review – Sunny Deol

The film starts from where first version left off. It follows the story of Ajay Mehra who after finishing his sentence starts a new career in investigating journalism and keep on fighting corruption.

The screenplay is commonplace but entertaining in parts. Especially, the action scenes work well with the audiences. But the problem lies with the weak direction and screenplay. The initial portion of the film, where Ajay’s character is being bulid up as a fearless journalist is slow. The screenplay of the latter half is such that there is ample scope for action, which has been choreographed very well.

The latter half is fast-paced. Emotions abound the script, but at most times, they fail to touch the heart. Dialogues are good at places and poor at others. All in all, the script works because of the action.

Sunny Deol does a decent job in direction especially in action sequences. Though he fails to handle the drama and emotion quotient well due to weak screenpaly.

Background music adds to the drama. Cinematography by Ravi Yadav is decent. Visual effects are praise worthy.
