MUMBAI: It is the Vibe of a republic and patriotism in Indian cinema, earlier we have seen the movie Fighter that has Hrithik Roshan in the leading role and now the movie Operation Valentine has finally hit the big screens. The movie that has Varun Tej and Manushi Chhillar in the leading role is directed by Shakti Pratap Singh. When the trailer was out, it gave us the vibe of Fighter and there were many comments coming from fans and audiences which were comparing the movie with the Hrithik Roshan starrer.
The movie Operation Valentine has hit the big screen today and here is the complete review of the movie. The premise of the movie deals with the retaliation of the Pulwama attack which is conducted by our Air Force heroes by undertaking Balakot air Strike. The central character of the story is Arjun Dev who is played by Varun Tej and he is the no nonsense Air Force pilot with his confidence, little arrogance and with few limitations from his past. How this mission has been taken with the air force commanding officer Ahana played by Manushi Chhillar and the entire team is something shown in the movie.
The screenplay of the movie is strictly average and the direction is decent. The story has nothing new to offer. The concept and a subject like this has previously been seen many times in past movies. Also the movie lacks freshness.
Talking about the performances, unfortunately, we don't see that fire or the energy in any of the actors in the movie. Varun Tej as the leading character of the movie and playing the Indian Air Force pilot he should have that energy on screen but unfortunately his performance is falling flat at many times. Manushi Chhillar on the other hand, was looking very weak and very dull, the fire and the energy was missing from her and performance as well. Other actors like Priyanka are decent on their part. There are no such names in the movie which create a solid impact in your heart.
Unfortunately the movie has very few positive points, and few places the movie gives you the feel of Patriotism but unfortunately these moments are very less in the movie. Another plus point of the movie can be that it is a small tribute to the Indian Air Force heroes in its small attempt.

Apart from these positive point the movie has more of negative points at many points, the movie Operation Valentine will remind you of the movie Fighter that had Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor in the leading role. There are many scenes and sequence which are replica, also the style of action we have seen in the movie Fighter. Also the performances of every actor were not that great inspite of being a Patriotism movie all the actors were looking little dull and the fire and the energy was missing as mentioned earlier. Been the movie based on the Aerial action, we see the bad work of CGI and VFX many scenes were looking cartoonish, very fake and unrealistic which definitely distract your movie watching experience. The story telling of the movie is strictly average there are many scenes which are little dull and unwanted for the movie. Unfortunately the chemistry between Manushi Chhillar and Varun Tej was missing.
Well having said all these points movie Operation Valentine unfortunately has nothing new or fresh to offer. Team Tellychakkar goes with Half star for the movie Operation Valentine. If you have seen the movie do share your reviews in the comment section below.
