Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha's second outing together - Action Jackson released today and consequently sale of aspirins have increased at the medical stores. While people were traumatised by Ajay Devgn's Himmatwala, his AJ avatar will leave a million people scarred for life. 

Touted to be a masala entertainer, AJ is nothing short of a bad, bad PJ! Here's why:

Ajay Devgn, who?

Can you believe that he is the same actor who gifted us with films like Omkara, Zakhm or The Legend of Bhagat Singh? Certainly not! In a film which lacks everything- from the story to strong characters and a nice packaging, one can only wonder what made Ajay make this grave mistake. That too after already making his career almost nosedive once with another lacklustre film recently. Himmatwala, anyone? 

Plot, where?

You asking for logic in a no-brainer Hindi potboiler is understandable but at least a Dabangg or a Chennai Express has a certain plot (although they might not be as strong!). Throughout the two and half hours of torture, one can only play treasure hunt trying to find out the plot of the film but I bet no one will find it! And at a time when Indian society is plagued with the ills of domestic violence, rape and physical abuse towards women, Prabhu Dheva makes Manasvi stand as a lustful woman who moans more than saying her dialogues and ends up being beaten up ruthlessly by the guys! Misogyny, much?

Sonakshi Sinha, why?

No wonder people speak about her bad choices! Sonakshi Sinha seems to be content playing the arm candy, coming and doing a bit of naach-gaana and obviously that patent hichki, which forms the basis of all her characters ever since Dabangg. Sorry, except Lootera! Sometimes, her caricaturish acts seem so monotonous that it leaves you wondering whether you are watching her in R... Rajkumar, Bullett Raja or Action Jackson! One small advice: Sonakshi, you know you can pull off a nice film, so why waste your time and energy doing such films? Seriously, why? The nation wants to know. 

Background music, what? 

Even if you try to sleep, the irritating background music that plays when any character comes on screen would disrupt your nap! Read: There's the irritating 'Vishi, Vishi Vishi, Vishi' playing when Ajay Devgn's character Vishi is on screen. Same for Sonakshi's character Khushi when she mouths her banal dialogues! Every now and then, there's a song popping up which does nothing for the storyline at all. Add to that, the horrid scene of watching Ajay Devgn dancing will leave you brain-dead for sure. Unless, you decide to lock yourself up in the loo! 

Prabhudheva, how?

Okay, this should explain it all. Before entering, overheard a group of friends say, "Dude, this film is going to be total paisa vasool. It will definitely be like Rowdy Rathore 2!" After exiting the hall, the same group, "Kya bakwaas banai hai picture!" Enough said. It's probably the only Prabhudheva film which will not just be panned by the critics (he should be used to that by now) but also by the people he targets- his audience! Sorry but here, Prabhudheva definitely does a Sajid Khan- whether worse or not is up for the people to decide! But you will certainly need to be a Himmatwala to sit through Action Jackson.
