The Lady Killer Movie Review: Career Khatam!!

In the history of Indian cinema, it has happened for the first time that a film was released without being completed, after shooting only 80% of scenes. How is it even possible for an incomplete film to hit theaters? If even one or two scenes were missing, it would feel like the whole film was ruined, but here, 20% scenes are missing! I was really eager to be among the first to watch this bizarre film, but it was a bit difficult to muster the courage after seeing the actor involved. The so-called "God of Expressions," Arjun Kapoor, has released his latest film, "Lady Killer," not "Lady Bird," which premiered on its first day with just 12 shows across India. The makers of this film must be anxiously searching for recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records.

And guess what? One show was even released in Greater Noida! It feels like if you go to watch this film, you might not come back because the film is soo bad. So finally, I watched the film, and you won’t believe what I experienced in "Lady Killer". It was a lifetime experience that I won’t forget even after death.

The story is set in Nainital, where a Maharaja lives in a grand palace, possessing both wealth and respect. In this Maharaja's golden cage, a beautiful bird is imprisoned. It sings beautifully, but no one listens because the Maharaja has a gun. Then comes a brave soul who breaks the lock of the Maharaja's mansion and shows the caged bird the dream of flying in the sky. But this fairy tale has a little twist because Cinderella told a small lie, presenting herself as the daughter of the world. So, what was going on at night in the Maharaja's bed? Now it makes sense that the hero realizes the heroine is not as innocent as he thought. The love he thought was genuine turns out to be a deception.

Now, the Maharaja, his beloved, and her lover are involved, and there’s a gun too. What more could be missing? The hint is right there in the film's title- Killer, Murder, Blood. Yes, the story turns red, but it's not just from love; someone is going to die by the sword. I won't reveal who that is. The straightforward truth is that Bollywood has become obsessed; they want to become Hollywood overnight. But merely showing bold adult scenes doesn't make it Hollywood. Undressing doesn’t add weight to the story, and if the writers couldn't think of any dialogues, they just resorted to a two-minute kissing scene. Instead of spending on locations, they decided to shoot in a bedroom.

They mixed the formula of suspense, thriller, and mystery in a juicer, but before the mixture could become a chutney, the machine broke down. Now, the audience is being served a half-baked, raw mess that lacks both spice and flavor. In one scene, an actor is standing in the sun, and the next dialogue comes out at night, nobody can figure out what happened in between. For the first time in my life, I found myself playing a fill-in-the-blanks game while sitting in a theater. You know, the film earned ₹60000 on its first day, and we should have gotten a share of that too! Why? Because the audience won’t watch the film fully; they'll complete it with their own imagination.

And you know why it didn’t feel so difficult? Because when the “God of Expressions” Arjun Kapoor stands right in front of you, your mind starts looking for excuses to avoid taking your eyes off the screen. Just write the fill-in-the-blanks like that! And by the way, I don’t know where Bhumi Pednekar's career graph is heading. There was a time when she stood in front of the mirror, and content was visible; now, if she stands, the glass will shatter into pieces. Please have some mercy, Bhumi ma’am!

So, "Lady Killer" has indeed made history, but if you don’t want your name to transition from the present to history, just stay home. Not a single star should be given to this film, or the stars will come down from the sky, turn into Hanuman, and set Bollywood ablaze.
