Antim: The Final Truth (2021)

We have now reached from Salman Bhai to Salman Bye! This movie was horrible from start to end. No storyline, no logic, not even entertaining, obviously salman fans will like this movie as they can watch any nonsense but others won't like it. I went to the theatre and believe me very few came to watch this movie so I don't even think it will earn well in box-office. Sorry salman, u can't always make bad movies and earn 200 crores. Your time is up!

Fmovies: The story has all the elements like land grabbing, farmer struggles, social-political issues, gang wars, but they are executed in a mediocre way. The movie does not offer you anything new, we have already seen this kind of film many times. The first half of the film can hold you to some extent because Bhai is delivering sensible dialogues and delivering punches and it has some realistic action sequences. But its never-ending second-half losses the grip on the viewers and it tests your patience.

Director Mahesh Manjrekar has managed to deliver a slightly convincing gangster drama film with this old-school gangster plot. Aayush Sharma tried hard to impress in action sequences, but he lacks the potential that is required to play the gangster character. But he successfully changed his lover-boy image, created in 'Loveyatri' (2018). Salman Khan's fans will be surprised after watching his performance in this film. This time Salman is not delivering improbable loud action sequences and there is no over-the-top drama. Mahima Makwana couldn't able to show her acting chops in her Bollywood debut due to this male-dominated script.

Direction 3/5 Acting 2.5/5 Dialogues 2.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 2/5.

Directors like Remo and Prabhu literally were on course to destroy Salman's career but finally he has given chance to a much better director and this is the result.

Antim, a gangster drama, as a whole may not be the best film, or anything new, but it was quite an interesting watch. The first half was quite fast paced and interesting but the 2nd half felt like a real drag! Still it revives itself in the final climax which seemed quite good with that adrenaline pumping BGM by Ravi Basrur.

This is a rare film where Salman is demoted to a secondary role. If you follow entertainment page, you will know Salman was quite uninterested in doing this film solely because of this secondary kinda role. Still his performance is not over the top. After ages, after Bajrangi Bhaijaan, i am seeing SK where he is so grounded and trying nothing too over the top. Even in his dialogue delivery he is quite low in tone mostly and not shouting and giving some cringy dialogues like in that Radhe disaster. SK should do more of these kind of roles to reduce is hate base.

Aayush sharma is the main lead and honestly speaking, he looked quite decent but still needs quite some improvements. He felt average in emotional scenes but in the wicked scenes, he was exhilarating.

Mahima Makwana and her father, the director himself, initally reminded me of Sonakshi's role from Dabangg, a village girl having a drunk father. Mahima looks so hot but cant say much about her performance.

Sachin Khedkar is good and Upendra is amazing in his short role. Upendra in Mulshi Pattern was the police and here his the gangster.

The BGM surely elevates the level of the action sequences and the action scenes definitely this time are not over the top, proper hand to hand combats and gun fights.

Overall, a film which i would rate 6 stars but as I am seeing such a decent SK film after a long time, i give it 2 bonus stars.

Antim: The Final Truth fmovies. I'm totally stunned with the climax of the movie. The way director Mahesh Manjrekar has directed the movie is just too good even though screenplay lacks at many places with average direction but still movie keep you hooked till the climax and when it comes that will blow you away. Never expected Aayush Sharma to act this well. The way he has acted in the movie which is just his 2nd movie that shows how hardwork he has done for this role to prepare in the movie. Whenever Salman khan comes on the screen it's feel so good to see him in the different avatar with his massy dialogues made the movie quite fun to watch. BGM is the soul of the movie. RAVI BASRUR is the name who has given the bgm and it was MIND BLOWING.

And the bgm suits perfectly well in the movie. Story & screenplay is average not too unique and not too good but the BGM, DIALOGUES & ACTION Sequences will keep you till the end. For me it's a Perfect Mass Entertainer. And Salman khan should not want to miss this movie.....

Mahesh Manjarekar in his outings in the last one and half decades appeared a pale shadow of his older version, the one who gave us masterpieces like Astitva or Vaastav. Even though he made some interesting Marathi films meanwhile, Bollywood was definitely missing his golden form. Finally, with Antim, Mahesh Manjarekar is back in his pristine form and the audience is gifted with one of the finest entertainers of recent years. Antim is an outright entertainer with honest intentions and does not unnecessarily glorify its Alpha Male The Salman Khan.

The problem with Bollywood is that it has embraced trash films of Salman Khan like Dabaang or Ready where all he did was defying gravity, breaking the laws of physics and showing his torso and when he has actually delivered a nuanced performance, everyone is trying to undermine his efforts. Bollywood since the arrival of Covid-19 has been waiting for a smasher like Antim and the Mumbai film industry seriously needs more Antims to ensure sustenance of lakhs of people who earn their daily bread and butter through such films.

The surprise in Antim is its protagonist Ayush Sharma, who has exceeded all expectations in this author backed role. He is calm when the scenes demand him to be so. He is expressive at the right moments. And his 'panga' with his megastar Jiju in this movie is a treat to watch. Salman is astonishingly restrained. It is indeed a heartening feeling seeing the macho actor in a role which demanded very little from him, yet he delivered one of his most memorable performances till date. Debutant Mahima is a treat to watch in certain scenes. The background scores are fantastic. As already said, Mahesh Manjarekar is back in form in direction.

Overall, this is a classy mass entertainer which everyone will enjoy watching with the whole family. Kudos to Salman Khan and team for coming up with such a slick project. Do not listen to those idiots with calls for boycotting this movie. A film like this should be celebrated not boycotted. Go, have your popcorn and enjoy Antim with one and only Salman Khan.

Overstretched crime drama you can't really sympathize with both leading actors due to their 'grey' characters. Mahesh Manjrekar got neat action sequences but script had small efforts at humanization. Salman tried too hard to rebuild Aayush's career here.
