Shamshera is bankrolled by Yash Raj Films.Shamshera movie review and release highlights: Ranbir Kapoor starrer Shamshera has hit theatres across India. The Karan Malhotra directorial also stars Vaani Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt. Shamshera is Ranbir’s first release after four years.
The movie has Ranbir Kapoor playing a double role of Shamshera and Balli. Speaking about shedding the image from his previous coming-of-age movies, Ranbir said Shamshera gave him an opportunity to play the quintessential Hindi film hero.
Ranbir told indianexpress.com, “Leaving aside the joy of playing the hero, it is a great script again as much as Barfi or Sanju was. It was catering to a larger audience. It had an array of emotions, amazing characters and some amazing action sequences. It was this larger than life film.”
Sanjay Dutt plays Daroga Shuddh Singh. The latter is reuniting with Karan Malhotra after Agneepath in 2012, where he played the main villain Kaancha Cheena. The actor said Shamshera is made for the masses. He told us, “Shamshera is an amazing film, most commercial film I have come across in recent times, it is made for the masses. This is kind of work I’ve done all my life, but it got somewhere forgotten in Bollywood.”
Alia Bhatt shared her take on Ranbir Khan's latest release Shamshera. She took to her Instagram story and wrote, "Shamshera out now! Jaake Dekhiye sirf theatre mein!!! Action!!!! Scale!!!! High drama!!! High emotion!!! Full on entertainment!!"
During the promotional visit to Lucknow, Shamshera actor Sanjay Dutt met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Shamshera stars Ranbir Kapoor, Vaani Kapoor, and Sanjay Dutt went to Lucknow for the film's promotions just a day before the release.
The Indian Express film critic Shalini Langer gave the film two and a half stars and wrote, "Ranbir Kapoor is efficiently good as Shamshera, a leader of a tribe first treated as outcastes and later betrayed and kept enslaved in a fort. His end comes quickly, after he is caught in a bid to climb a hill and then stoned to death."
