Ajay, who is perhaps in every frame of the film doesn’t know where to stop as a director. However, the film has its issues, biggest being its run-time (3 hours) and thus, poor editing. An extended car-chase sequence in particular is outstanding.

Soon high-octane, gravity and death-defying action sequences take centre stage, which are on par with the Hollywood films. The abduction of his daughter turns our chillum-smoking cool trekker into an angry killer, who vows to bust the flesh trade racket in Bulgaria. However, the film takes a cliched spin and ends up looking like a slow-mo version of Liam Neeson’s ‘Taken’ franchise. You feel you are in for an adrenaline pumping ride and expect a nerve-racking survival drama to unfold in the hills, on the lines of ‘Cliffhanger’ or ‘Vertical Limit’. The stunning cinematography captures the mountains like no Hindi film has managed so far. Review: On heart-pounding beats of Bolo Har Har, Shivaay has a spectacular opening scene that sees Ajay descending dangerous Himalayan cliffs like a pro.

Rescuing her from the masked child-traffickers becomes his only reason for survival. But their plan goes for a toss when the little girl gets kidnapped in the foreign land. Story: Shivaay (Ajay Devgn), a fearless Himalayan mountaineer covered in Lord Shiva tattoos, heads to Bulgaria to fulfill his nine-year-old daughter Gaura’s (Abigail Eames) wish of seeing her mother Olga (Erika Kaar), who abandoned them years ago. AJAY'S NEVER-ENDING SAGA IS HIGH ON ACTION BUT LACKS SOUL
