Action Jackson is Simply 145 Minutes Of Nothing

Cast: Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam, Manasvi Mamgami
Director: Prabhudeva
Rating: 1/5 Star
  Sonakshi Sinha plays Khushi, who is a clumsy girl characterised by always running late, falling on the road and spoiling her clothes due to which her boss doesn't want her in office. When she is running late to work, she picks up a box of oats from the table, eats some straight from the box, sips some milk and then eats a spoon full of sugar and shakes herself to mix the ingredients inside her body.
  Well, yes! When Khushi first sees Vishi (Ajay Devgn), his pants are down and that day turns out to be good for her. So, the conclusion is that if she sees him naked her day will be lucky. 
She shamelessly starts chasing him to see him naked because she badly needs some positivity and good luck. If this is your idea of entertainment, then Action Jackson is just the film for you.
In the first action-packed scene of the film, Vishi fights his enemies with toothpicks. Alas, did you know that sharp toothpicks can be used to kill people? Now that's a first!

  Clearly Prabhudeva doesn't cast anyone and everyone in his films. The rule is if you are a bad guy then you better look like one! A deadly South Asian don is bald and has one white eye, his chief goon looks like an undertaker who has never had a haircut.
  Coming back to the story, soon Khushi and Vishi are in love and he has promised her that he will stop bashing up people. But that promise is short lived because he has to help AJ (Ajay Devgn), Vishi's lookalike.
  The bad guys who wear an orange uniform are looking out for AJ not because they want some money from him but the don's spoilt and seductive sister (Manasvi Mamgai) wants to marry AJ though he has slapped her, pushed her and made it clear that he doesn't even like her. But she won't take no for an answer and the dangerous brother will do anything to fulfill his sister's wish.
  AJ also has a love story, his girlfriend is played by Yami Gautam who has to face the heat because when they can't get through to him, they beat her to pulp. 
  The worst part of Action Jackson is the music, the never-ending songs that come one after the other. Each and every song is out of place and not that it's good music. Himesh Reshammiya has also underperformed and how!
Ajay Devgn is the only good part of this 145 minutes of nothing, he is sincere and does his part with full honesty; be it dance or action. Sonakshi Sinha continues to take up meaningless roles in commercial films which don't do any good to her.
  Prabhudeva is one of our best choreographers, his talent is unmatched when it comes to dance moves. But it's quite clear that choreography and direction are two different things. It's best to not mix the two.
  Action Jackson is just action scenes and random songs put together to fill 145 minutes of screen time. This film is beyond repair.
