Sanak | Director: Kanishk Varma Cast: Vidyut Jammwal, Neha Dhupia, Rukmini Maitra, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Kiran Karmarkar Duration: 2 hours | Language: Hindi | Rating: 1 Like most action heroes, Vidyut Jammwal's distinct physicality gives him away. There's only a handful of professions that seem believable for his characters in films. Villain, commando, former commando, former commando-turned-spy, you get the drift? Hence, it's difficult to keep a straight face when his most recent film introduces him as a mixed martial arts (MMA) trainer. Kanishk Varma's Sanak is pretty much just another film featuring Jammwal imposing physical rigour front and centre. Does it do anything unexpected with it? Not really.

Also Read - Sundance 2022: You Won't Be Alone is a bewitching folk-horror debut from Goran Stolevski Lithe action franchises have always been a norm in film industries across the planet, even eras. But it's only a recent phenomenon where makers (primarily action directors) have begun making these bare-bone action films, that smartly subvert tropes of the genre, and challenge audience's expectations. Jammwal's films fall in this bracket, but they're missing a vital ingredient: personality. Most of these franchises rest on the shoulders of charismatic stars, who have spent a lifetime cultivating a fan-base with their tics. Whether it is Jackie Chan's goofy routine of trying to avoid a fight, or Keanu Reeves' sullen face and few words, that speaks more than entire feature films. Jammwal's shallow tough-guy personality has proved to be an obstacle between him and nation-wide fame. Maybe, that's why the makers have feel the need to imbue him with nationalistic fervour or a love-story-defying-all-odds, to give *some* texture to Jammwal's overall bland screen-presence.
On the part of the makers, one great decision is choosing Chandan Roy Sanyal as the 'Captain' of the mercenaries. The severely underrated and underutilised Sanyal, who we've sporadically seen since he broke out as Mikhail in Kaminey (2009), knows a thing or three about turning on the campy villain inside him. He trots out phrases like 'Time to tango!' with relish. There's almost a self-awareness in the way he plays mind games with his hostages. "Humara budget kam hai. I hope aap humare saath cooperate karenge, aur humara budget nahi badhaayenge," he warns his hostages in a very matter-of-fact way. For no fault of Sanyal's own, he's shown to be a not particularly bright antagonist. How else does one explain a civilian single handedly taking down more than 20 ex-military personnel, while their leader just sits and waits. He's allowed a bit of a shock kill, but it's arguably left for a little too late in the film. Speaking of sitting and waiting, Neha Dhupia stars in a glorified cameo, where in the part of a no-nonsense, actions-speak-louder-than-words ACP, she does remarkably little. Ironically, most of her time on screen is spent communicating with an unidentified civilian (Jammwal) inside the building. Some might feel I'm being too harsh here, but how the makers incorporate a film's title into the actual film, tells us so much. No bad film can hide behind dialogues where the film's title is repeated four times across three separate lines, in the span of two minutes. Despite treading an evergreen premise for an action movie, Sanak eventually gets found out. Vidyut Jammwal does most of what he can (which is little outside 18 forms of martial arts), but it isn't enough to flip our expectations about which way the film is headed. Just to be sure, the makers even slip in a few lines for the country's shaheed jawaans. Given the circumstances, it's easy to see it as a sign of a needy, under-confident film hiding under a formidable 56-inch chest.

Sanak Movie: release date, cast, story, teaser, trailer, first look, rating, reviews, box office collection and preview. Published by - The Beyond News (Entertainment).
It’s child’s play as a civilian single-handedly faces a bunch of heavily armed terrorists at a hospital. The man’s wife, whom he fondly calls “Baby”, is admitted there. An actual baby needs rescuing. There’s a boy who knows too much about guns and explosives for somebody his age.
Since Vidyut Jammwal is in the building, Sanak director Kanishk Varma and writer Ashish P Verma don’t bother to try harder. One of India’s finest action heroes does what he does best in a movie whose title suggests madness but which mostly lacks imagination.
The screenplay mechanically counts down to the moment Jammwal fans are waiting for: the confrontation between this one-man army and an actual minor army of many men and one woman. This group, led by Saju (Chandan Roy Sanyal), has slipped with ease into a hospital in Mumbai and taken its staffers and patients hostage. Among them is Anshika (Rukmini Maitra), the beloved wife of Vivan (Jammwal).
Sanak, which is out on Disney+ Hotstar, hits peak autopilot mode when it comes to the officer in charge of the situation. Barks Jayati (Neha Dhupia), we know our job, we are the Mumbai police (the movie’s best joke). But she spends most of her time pretending to be busy and peering at screens and waiting for Vivan to make contact.
The 117-minute movie wakes up proper in the action scenes with Vivan and various terrorists who have the misfortune of crossing his path. Action director Andy Long Nguyen finds inventive ways to showcase Jammwal’s prowess with martial arts, especially in two fun sequences set in the medical imaging and physiotherapy departments. The sweet chemistry between Jammwal and Rukmini Maitra, the Bengali actor making her Hindi debut, is another highlight of a movie that’s often semi-sedated.

Sanak Movie Stars: 2 / 5
Largely there are two types of films made - one which depends on the content, and the other that relies on elements. Director Kanishk Varma’s Sanak falls in the second bracket. This hospital siege drama majorly revolves around Vivaan (Vidyut Jammwal) - an MMA (Mixed martial arts) trainer and his wife Anshika (Rukmini Maitra). The latter is admitted because of a heart condition, and just when things start looking on the brighter side for the couple, is when her hospital is attacked by a group of terrorists. This leads to Anshika becoming a hostage, and Vivaan with a task to save his lady love. Nothing new right?
As far as the storyline of Sanak is concerned, this one is no different from tons of other films that required the hero to save the love of his life from the bad guys. Yes, the location may be different this time, with the hospital being the centre of all the action. However, ‘action’ is the only thing that this film can boast about. It started on a promising note with the initial few scenes raising the hopes of watching a potentially good story unravel on screen, but with the entry of the bad guy Saju played by Chandan Roy Sanyal, all that was left to see was ‘Dishoom, Dishoom, Dishoom’. This is what I meant by overuse of an element, in this case being Vidyut’s action skills.
Action no doubt is top-notch with Andy Long designing the sequences, and Vidyut executing them. Two scenes particularly stand out, one where Vidyut uses the rim of a tyre for his defence, and the other in the physiotherapy room where several props are smartly used to make the action unique and impactful. Both the scenes are well shot, and Vidyut makes them look believable too. What seems to be lacking is some emotions in between these sequences, which could have made the viewers feel for the characters’ dilemma. That really doesn’t come across.
Moreover, two actors who seem to be totally wasted are Chandan and Neha Dhupia. The actress plays ACP Jayati Bhargav, who as an able cop doesn’t do anything really substantial, besides throwing orders and talking to Vivaan over the phone. The character could have been made more believable, by letting her be more active in the entire rescue operation, rather than just letting Vivaan take up the mantle. This entire equation was far from real.
