A Flying Jatt

A Flying Jatt is a Bollywood superhero action comedy film released in 2016, directed by Remo D'Souza and produced under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. The film stars Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Nathan Jones as main characters.

The movie is a creative blend of comedy, action, and fantasy, with a superhero theme. It presents an interesting twist to the orthodox portrayal of superheroes, breaking down the stereotype of always flawless and unbeatable paragons of justice.

Tiger Shroff stars as Aman Dhillon, our titular character, "Jatt". Aman is a martial arts teacher living an ordinary life with his mother, played by Amrita Singh, a boisterous Punjabi woman. He's portrayed as a relatable young man who is somewhat afraid of heights and struggles with conquering his real-life fears; not quite the typical superhero image we’re accustomed to seeing. Aman's character introduces a delightful and light-hearted aspect to the superhero domain, by showing the transition from a common anxious man to a superhero. Aman battles not only his villains but also his patophobia while trying to handle his newly acquired strength.

Jacqueline Fernandez plays Kirti, the love interest of Aman. Kirti is a devoted environmentalist who mistakenly believes Aman is also passionate about her cause. Her character adds another layer to the film, propelling the push-pull scenario with Aman and providing comic relief and romantic episodes.

The antagonist of the movie, Raka, played by Nathan Jones, adds thrill to the plot. The power-hungry industrialist Malhotra, played by Kay Kay Menon, brings the villainous Raka into the picture, and a power struggle ensues. Raka, a beast of a man with a complex background thrives on pollution and creates havoc and mayhem.

The story of A Flying Jatt is built upon an array of themes, including environmentalism, anti-industrialism, and moral righteousness. The movie puts the spotlight on environmental degradation, with the young superhero going up against a villain who thrives on pollution. The narrative raises the issue of industrial pollution, deforestation, and the importance of trees to the environment. Furthermore, the film plays around with bits of Hindu mythology and Sikh faith, creating an interesting fusion, while teaching about the power of faith.

The film's music, composed by the musical duo Sachin-Jigar, adds zest to the flow of the story. From foot-tapping dance numbers like "Beat Pe Booty" and "Jatt Ludhiyane Da", to soulful tracks like "Toota Jo Kabhi Tara", the diverse soundtrack enhances the overall Bollywood feel of the movie.

A Flying Jatt features some impressive visual effects and action sequences, especially the epic battles between the superhero and the villain. However, what sets it apart is how it often uses humor to lighten the otherwise intense mood. There's also a unique charm in Tiger Shroff’s portrayal of Jatt that lies in the superhero’s vulnerability and naivety.

Aside from the main plot, the film has its share of emotionally gripping family moments, romance, and comedy. Although it's a superhero movie threaded with action-packed sequences, the simplicity, innocence, and idiosyncratic charm of its characters allow the movie to resonate with all age groups.

In conclusion, A Flying Jatt is a refreshing take on the superhero genre, blending action and comedy with social messages. With its unique Indianized superhero, impressive visuals, memorable music, and a narration style that incorporates humor and emotion, it makes for an engaging, entertaining watch, particularly for Bollywood movie lovers and a younger audience.
