Aditya Roy Kapur’s performance in Rashtra Kavach: OM is the only thing keeping this doomed mission from failing
STORY: A paracommando is serving the country on a top-secret mission. However, he soon discovers that his personal and professional lives are entangled with many layers of lies, betrayal, and deceit as he heads to work with his excellent combat skills. Can he even trust himself?
REVIEW: Covert operations, a highly talented fighter, and a top-tier government organisation are all working together to preserve the country. These are a few of the essential components for a story that provides plenty of room for thoughtless action, hearty patriotism, and complicated plot twists. That’s “Raksha Kavach Om” for you in a nutshell; on paper, it must have met all the requirements for a sleek actioner, but it lacks the same impact on screen.
The location for director Kapil Verma and his writers’ ambitious thriller is perfect, but the writing is clumsy and disjointed. Om (Aditya Roy Kapur) is summoned on a crucial mission at the beginning of the movie, but the attack leaves him wounded and only partially alive. When he awakens, he has forgotten everything, and he is now scrambling to understand his history and present. Kavya (Sanjana Sanghi), who can really kick butt when it comes to defending her team mates, is in charge of looking after him. They have their work cut out for them, but in the midst of it all, Om still needs to track down his father and persuade everyone that he was not a traitor.
The story is overstuffed with subplots, making it overly complicated. Every large-scale and little occurrence on the screen is accompanied by an ear-piercing background soundtrack. The action choreography, though, is unquestionably a bonus and partially makes up for the generally drawn-out and tiresome storyline. In his new masculine persona as an outright action hero, Aditya Roy Kapur is smouldering. It is evident on screen how much time and work he put into physically changing himself for the part. His action is great, and he can certainly explore this genre more. Sanjana Sanghi is one of the few females in this exclusively male field, yet neither her part nor her performance stand out. Ashutosh Rana carefully performs his part, but Prakash Raj appears to be very stereotyped. Jackie Shroff as scientist Dev is aptly cast.
Rashtra Kavach Om is at least as fantastical and unbelievable as its name. However, if you’re a devoted follower of Aditya Roy Kapur, this task might not be so hopeless for you.

Post Kanguva debacle, Tamil Nadu producers demand ban of YouTube channels from theatres
This decision comes after the release of Kanguva on November 14, which saw a lot of negative feedback on the opening day from YouTube reviews.
On Wednesday, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council (TNPC) issued a strong statement requesting theatre owners to ban fans’ interviews by YouTube channels on theatre premises post the first day first shows (FDFS) and cooperate in doing away with this FDFS public review and opinion process completely.

In a long four-page letter, the Tamil Nadu Producers Council has condemned ‘personal attacks and incitement of hatred in the name of film reviews.’ They said that films like Indian 2, Vettaiyan and Kanguva were highly impacted due to YouTube FDFS public reviews.
What the letter stated
This letter comes after the release of Suriya’s film Kanguva on November 14 which saw a tremendous amount of negative feedback from the audience in the first day first show YouTube reviews and opinion videos. The TNPC wrote that journalists have the right to criticise flaws in the film and talk about the positives and negatives but no one can engage in personal attacks and try to destroy the entire film in their reviews. According to them, this would lead to the downfall of the film industry itself.
The letter also stated, “Critics have every right to review movies. But we request all journalists to write film reviews keeping in mind that hatred towards a film should not be sown in the media because of personal malice. It is imperative that all the associations related to the film industry unite and stop this practice by not encouraging them anymore.”
More details
Kerala was the first state to establish this ban on YouTube reviews. In 2023, Mubeen Rauf, director of Aromalinte Adyathe Pranayam, who was supported by the Producers’ Association filed a case in court to ban YouTube reviewers from theatre premises as their negative public opinion videos were affecting the film business.
The Kerala High Court then issued a directive to the concerned authorities to prevent online reviews of films by social media influencers, YouTube reviewers, and bloggers for seven days following the release of a film.
The court went a step further and even issued notice to the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the Central Board of Film Certification to establish clear and transparent guidelines for online film critics and vloggers. Producers felt this move would protect the industry.
