Thugs of Hindostan

About This Movie

Thugs of Hindostan, directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, is this sprawling action-adventure that dips into the era of colonialism with a splash of high-seas escapades. The narrative feels like a mix of heist film and epic battle, creating a tone that balances drama and bravado. You get these grand visuals, and the practical effects are pretty impressive for an Indian blockbuster. Aamir Khan as Firangi offers a really layered performance—he's both cunning and charming, while Amitabh Bachchan’s Azaad brings a gravitas that anchors the story. The pacing, though, can be uneven at times; it’s like they tried to pack in too much. Still, it’s an interesting take on rebellion and loyalty, with enough character twists to keep you engaged.
