Antim: The Final Truth

Antim’s biggest drawback is its flawed narrative and inability in being consistent in making its characters feel real. The second half could have easily been trimmed and made shorter, songs don’t find an appeal (especially Varun Dhawan’s sketchy cameo in the Ganesha song) and the background score and sound mixing plays havoc on your eardrums. There are too many slaps and punches that after a while feel almost robotic and banal attempts to fill in gaping holes in a weak subplot. Salman’s Rajveer is made to look like he’s unpredictable, doesn’t take sides and is mostly a bystander to events unfolding in front of him, yet 20 minutes into the second half he starts going against his own principles and belief and seems to lose track of what he established so effortlessly in the first half of the film.
