IMDb: 7.4/10 YEAR: 2018 GENRE: Action/Comedy DIRECTOR: Vasan Bala CAST: Abhimanyu Dassani, Radhika Madan, Gulshan Devaiah, Mahesh Manjrekar, Jimit Trivedi RUN TIME: 138 minutes Available on Netflix
If you are looking for a casual chill watch on a fine Sunday morning (which nearly meets up your every day, now in quarantine) then Mard ko Dard Nahi Hota is just the movie for you. An action-comedy movie which can be called a genre-defining movie in the context of Indian cinema, the movie was rejected by the audience despite being logically correct and staying true to the physics that I and you have read. With all due respect to the masala lovers, if you have gone ahead and tasted a Chinese or an Italian cuisine (which is without masala) then please give this movie a watch.
Studded with great execution of some eccentric characters from not so star-studded an ensemble cast, the chime in the acts of Gulshan Devaiah and debutant Abhimanyu Dasani is worth an applause. A special mention also goes to the performance of Sartaaj Kakkar who plays the childhood of the protagonist. Radhika Madan and Mahesh Manjrekar provide the perfect blend.
The story centers Surya, who is born with a rare disease of Congenital insensitivity to pain i.e. he can’t feel any pain, who grows up fascinating to be like Mani, the karate man (a one-legged local karate champion). How he grows up training secretly with his father wanting him to be a normal guy and finally manages an adventure with karate man along with his childhood love and grandfather to beat his nemesis Jimmy(the twin brother of Mani) is the basis of the plot.
The movie can be compared to a more family going version of Deadpool with hilarious stoppages in the middle of exciting fight sequences and music( by Karan Kulkarni and Dipanjan Guha) which is crazy at least. The film does give hints of it being a derivative of a typical Jackie Chan movie but it does keep its originality intact. Though the editing was impressive the movie restrains from investing much attention to its cinematic brilliance and provides no joy to the eye. Vasan Bala does a pleasing job on the director’s chair and we are thankful to him for not making the screenplay mundane.

For what the movie wanted to represent, it was was a breath of fresh air especially talking of the action industry which has with time become repetitive and stale.
The movie is a must-watch that provides a push to the industry in the right direction demanding attention from the new Indian renaissance audience.
