Nikhil I remember watching the trailer and I found it very eye catching which made me eager to watch this movie in cinemas. As a Ajay Devgn fan, I went to watch this film on the day of its release with high expectations and this film turned out be much better than I thought. It had high octane action which was done on a grand scale and it was something that has never been done before in Indian Cinema which was impressive considering that I've been an action junkie since the 90s era. Ajay done a superb job expanding his imagination as a director by using his skills in attempt to try something new which audiences have never experienced before which gave it that sort of feel in terms in cinemagraphy. Plus, the VFX and background music was excellent which Ajay had put his heart and soul into whilst making this film in order for it to stand out properly for an action film.Fighting and chase sequence was awesome and done smoothly which keeps your mind engaged whilst watching this movie which happened to me when i saw it cinema. It's gives you that curiosity as to what will happen in each scene and it really keeps you on the edge of your seats for an action/thriller movie. I think Ajay's work was fabulous because he balanced everything e.g. Action, Drama, Emotional and ect all in one and it doesn't looked forced unlike some directors who can be useless when it comes do doing this.The movie starts off well as Ajay is climbing on the mountain and jumping from one cliff to another while his buddies watched on. I was thinking what why is he doing this? It turns out that he was doing some experiment which was fair enough. He goes to meets with some people and engages a conversation with some oriental guy. Then takes some of the tourists and that includes Erika to mountains. Suprsingly, Erika spoke Hindi and Ajay was seem suprised judging by the look in his face. Her Hindi was good and better than Katrina Kaif :)While Ajay's is guiding these tourists but there's a disaster that comes its way. Everybody is uses the zip line to climb to another mountain. Erika is the last one standing but Ajay rescues her. This part handled very well...as the tent is hanging high above the air while Ajay & Erika make love. Lol @ people who were mocking this. That scene was good and directed very well followed by the nice song.One of the scenes that I liked was Ajay telling Erika in anger to go inside the house. Their confrontation scene was good and thank god it wasn't overdone. Ajay wanted to have Erika's baby but she refused to give birth. Eventually she did but went back to her country Bulgaria while Ajay raised the little girl up.The father and daughter relationship is handled very well with brilliant drama. I loved the emotional scenes from Abigail as she found out she had a biological mother. She accidently hits her head on the rock and lands in hospital. Ajay seem anxious and tensed when she was in hospital and it was good acting. Then both them go to Bulgaria to find Erika which gives a lot curiosity as to what's going to happen. Ajay walks by these people whom he's sees with a little boy. This part was makes you wonder what's going through Ajay's mind. He seemed disturbed and saved the boy from this old guy who was a pedophille.Ajay & Abigail continue their search and go to the Indian embassy. Man, it gets better as Abrigiail gets taken by these trafficking people. The action/chase scene was awesome and Ajay done excelllent job handing this part. One scene was copied off Taken but oh well. Ajay gets accused for the trafficing but the part where he escapes the prison van was good.There is a twist and swerve where it was revealed that a corrupt Police man was behind the kidnapping as the old man got killed. Ajay goes under the basement to look for his daughter. I love part where he opens the sleeping bag and his emtional scene was brilliant as he shows rage and anger inside. He also invades the Police Station which was great action.He finds Abigail when he opens the back door of the van. You can't blame her for being scared because after what she went through. Ajay handles her very well and sweet talks her hence why she was calm. So much emotions in this scene which was aweomeAjay gets beaten up while Abrigail looks on. It was sad knowing that she had witness all of this. Plus, the song added to the scene was perfect but before that there it silent which was excellent. The fight scene between Ajay and baddies was good as he tells her to run away.Another scene I liked is where Abrigial meets Erika and hugs Ajay. The scene where she plays with her teddy bears was so cute and you'll love it. Plus, it had a happy ending where she embraces Ajay and rips his ticket. She wanted him to stay and you can't blame her.Performances:Ajay Devgn is awesome playing the father role. He's terrfic in every single catergory e.g. Intense, Emotional, Anxiety and Action. This is why I'm a huge fan of him because he puts his heart & soul into acting and Shivaay is an example.Abigail gives a terrific performance playing the mute girl. Ajay's directs her very well and makes you care about her character. She's was brilliant in emotional scenes.Erika is good and she looks very pretty but she was misued because the focus was on the father and daugther relationship. She plays a role of Bulgarian woman and her Hindi is what really suprised me. However, her chemistry with Ajay could have been better but it was ok.Sayesha Saigal has a small role but she gives a good performance. She's another person who excelled in emotional scenes.The villains were good and did what was required in the film. There an old man in this film who intimidates Abrigial and he acts very well.I'm going to give this movie a 4.5/5. It's an awesome film that will keep you on the edge of your seats. You will love the father and daughter relationship & chemistry between Ajay & Abrigial.

Tejaswy Nalam There is a certain minimum number of words that need to be written for a review to be published. Putting in that effort for a film like Shivaay would be original sin. However, morality dictates that ethics should be suspended for teleological reasons. This is the only reason why I am writing a review here.For the greater good of the world.Calling this movie a disaster would greatly elevate the sense of utter dejection, sadness, infuriation, pain, suffering, angst, agony, and pure evil that the word disaster originally conveys.Every scene is clichéd. That is still okay. Every scene takes the audience to be idiots with single digit IQs drooling at the mouth, standing in a corner with their flies open and a wad of cash held in their hands to be grabbed anyone passing by.And if you did indeed pay for watching the movie (in terms of time or money) you would surely be left feeling that way. I sure did.If someone paid me money for a stellar review, I would probably do it. If someone asked to write a paid, 10-star review for Shivaay after having made me watch it, I would shoot him, and then go on to destroy the rest of the world.Don't watch it.

Davor Lister I like action films even when they are shallow. Shivaay is simple and predictable, frequently too dramatic, but not at all shallow. It is about fatherly love, and precious few titles of lately speak good of dads and fatherly figures in our lives. 2016 gave us two such films. One is action packed Shivaay, and another is a brilliant Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Even though these two films can't be any further apart in cinematic terms, they are both speaking fondly about fathers in our lives. I enjoyed watching them both.

anziq Going to start off by saying that had any of the 'Khans' starred in the movie, no doubt the film would have done record business all over the world!! It's a shame that the audience appear to be brainwashed or are living in a world totally different to the one I'm living in. I watched this movie with my family and as stated from the promos, it was a film full of emotion/action/drama/suspense...basically the complete package, complete out an out family entertainer, money worth spending on. You have your other run of the mill movies which you can watch on Netflix etc and it wouldn't make a difference. You will be doing injustice to watch this movie anywhere else other than on the big screen to capture the beautiful cinematography and special effects. After a long time Bollywood has came out with a movie worth watching and is up there with movies from the West.. Unfortunately, the justice was not done for reasons which baffle me simply because when it comes to 'acting', you will not find a finer 'actor' than Ajay Devgn in the Bollywood film industry, those who beg to differ need a reality check in life!! He has given one of his best performances which instead of being appreciated, the 'hate' brigade are out to criticise him.. I hope that this movie provides to be a stepping stone for other directors to get out of their 'comfort zone' and try something different... All the best to AD for his forthcoming projects, looking to see you on the big screen again...
