Tiger Shroff, last seen as a martial arts champion in Baaghi, is back on the screen as a superhero whom nobody takes seriously. We wouldn’t either, given his tacky costume and buffoonish air. The trailer of Remo D’Souza’s action comedy A Flying Jatt summarises the entire movie in a matter of minutes and leaves nothing to the imagination. It reminds us a bit of Kick-Ass and Deadpool aimed at a kiddie audience, while Shroff’s ridiculously elastic waist and Michael Jackson impersonations are making us wonder whether he is from this planet at all. Also starring Jacqueline Fernandez as the caped crusader’s lady love, Amrita Singh as his mother, and Kay Kay Menon as the arch villain who summons up a bald enforcer (Nathan Jones) for the heck of it. The evocation of Sikh religious imagery in the trailer proves that this Indian spin on a very American genre is taking no chances in localising itself.
