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.

Movie Review: ‘Am I OK?’ is a charming comedy about friendship that features Dakota Johnson’s endearing genuineness.
Naturally, we begin with a veggie burger.
The 30-year-old best friends Lucy and Jane can easily recite Lucy’s usual order at the diner—a veggie burger and sweet potato fries—when they meet again.
Therefore, Jane’s expression shows a hint of hurt when Lucy goes rogue and requests a tomato and spinach omelette late in “Am I Ok?” Even though it was simply a veggie burger, it seems absurd, but to Jane, it represents a comforting, known object that is no longer in her life.
This is Tig Notaro and Stephanie Allynne’s directorial debut, and it’s filled with such lovely, subtle touches that work much better than the sporadic attempts at broad humour that come across as forced or, at the very least, as something else entirely.
Of course, Johnson is the main subject of the lingering camera the entire time, and with good reason—her unwavering genuineness consistently comes through in her roles, even when the material surrounding her occasionally falters.
This is a heartfelt, straightforward story. This is a story about a coming-out, but unlike most coming-out stories we encounter, the protagonist is 32 years old.
The writer of the movie, Lauren Pomerantz, came out when she was 34. This particular narrative is hers. A few strikingly moving scenes reveal how intimately involved she is in the proceedings; one such instance is when Lucy experiences anguish while a straight woman plays with her feelings. It’s among the movie’s most poignant scenes.
We start at the aforementioned diner after an opening montage that sets up the female friendship at the centre of the film. Jane tells Lucy that she really should meet up with a certain cute male friend who clearly likes her: “Just do it,” she urges. Lucy is unable to give a reason for her refusal.
Jane, the more experienced of the two in terms of her career, is about to undergo a significant upheaval in her life. Her manager gives her the opportunity to go to London and open an office in Los Angeles. Her extremely nice partner is also starting to come around. However, Lucy is devastated by this news, as evidenced by the insincere manner she continues responding, “Wonderful!” when Jane breaks the news to her one evening over drinks.
The two friends end up crying together after drinking a lot of tequila, just like close friends do when they urinate in the bathroom and then later during a sleepover. Lucy admits to Jane that she likes girls there.
Jane is an unwavering source of support. Ever the aspirant, she actually tells Lucy that she will become “the star of the lesbian community.” And she decides to assist her in finding a woman, going so far as to take her out to a gay bar. On the dance floor, though, it’s Jane who ends up kissing a woman. Lucy, ashamed, runs away.
However, Lucy works as a receptionist at a spa where there’s this sensual massage. Lucy is finally brave enough to respond to Brittany’s intense flirtation. She helps Lucy come out of her shell, but the outcome is ultimately depressing. Moreover, Lucy is no longer seeing Jane, who was typically the first person she would call in a heartbreak.
Though this film centres on two friends, you will find yourself most invested in Lucy’s life as you watch the incredibly likeable Johnson manage grief and uncertainty. A last-minute setback to Jane’s carefully thought-out plans for her trip to London seems a little improbable, or perhaps it just feels forced in as if to imply that, well, both ladies have problems.
Whatever the case, this month has been fantastic for female buddy comedy. While Pamela Adlon’s comedy “Babies” focused heavily on the chaos that comes with childbirth, “Am I OK?” aims for a more tender, poignant tone. It’s satisfying to be back where we started, discussing issues at that restaurant table. The moral of the story is straightforward but reassuring: friendships can endure and grow despite change.
even if an omelette triumphs against a vegetarian burger.
The Motion Picture Association has rated Warner Bros.’ “Am I OK?” R “for language, sexual references, and some drug use.” 86 minutes of running time. An overall rating of 2.5 stars out of 4.
