With Vidyut Jammwal, the one thing that is guaranteed is spellbinding action. The actor is in his element in Kanishk Varma's action thriller.
The trailer begins on a note of vulnerability with Hansika (Rukmini Maitra), the wife of Vivaan Ahuja (Vidyut Jammwal) being prepared to undergo heart surgery. Unbeknownst to them, the hospital is set to be besieged by a terror group.
Desperate to protect his wife, and the people, Jammwal rises to the occasion. While Neha Dhupia's cop character sets up a rescue operation outside, Jammwal's character, an MMA trainer, kicks up a storm within.
The trailer is slick, packed with action and taut with tension. There are some cheesy one-liners, but they fade away from memory as soon as the action takes over. While the trailer reveals a little too much about the storyline, Jammwal's moves impress. Chandan Roy Sanyal adds a touch of malice as the ruthless leader of the terrorists.
The trailer brings back memories of the dastardly 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, and there is also a dash of the iconic action film Die Hard (1988).
Despite its flaws, the film looks slick, backed by some thrilling visuals and a magnificent Jammwal in full form.
Sanak will be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar from 15 October.
