He travels to Ooty thanks to the call, where the siblings have forgiven each other for their painful history. Vikram is told by Anu about the life threats she has been receiving and her concern for her daughter. In Dubai, Vikram runs into some men from his past while taking control of the family’s safety. The main conflict of the narrative is what transpired in Dubai five years ago, prompting Vikram to swear to purge the underworld, and also explains why he is known as The Ghost.
Only a handful of performers are willing to take on a variety of roles, including Nagarjuna. In his career, he has numerous occasions to demonstrate this. The actor once again demonstrated his endurance in The Ghost. When the stunt choreographers created strong action and stunt scenes, he excelled in them. Even though Sonal Chauhan was Nagarjuna’s sidekick, she nevertheless pulled off stunning exploits. Gul Panag performed admirably in her significant role as Nagarjuna’s sister. The actress Aneka Surendran, who played Nagarjuna’s niece, had a cheery appearance.
The Ghost provides slick action with lots of bloodshed, as promised by the trailers. On paper, The Ghost from filmmaker Praveen Sattaru reads like a proper action thriller with subtle emotional overtones. However, the movie ends up being a dull tale with little to make it interesting. Action dramas, as we all know, tend to prioritize action over story. Nevertheless, it feels outmoded when the flimsy plot is used as a pretext to switch from one action scene to another. One such illustration is “The Ghost”. The one-dimensional notion of incorporating a dozen action blocks serves as the film’s foundation and epicenter of masala pleasure. Praveen Sattaru also uses well-known Hollywood movie scenes and narratives in his story.
One of the best action sequences in recent memory was created for this movie, and it is absolutely worth mentioning. They exude style and make us experience goosebumps. While Mark K. Robin’s background score for the film is excellent, Bharatt-songs Saurabh’s are only passably musical. A few action blocks’ BGMs add value and boost the level of intrigue. Mukesh G created stunning cinematography.
Overall, The Ghost is a mediocre action thriller. Its strength is Nagarjuna’s electrifying performance, which is supported by several top-notch battle scenes. The movie features everything an action movie fan could want. Few viewers, though, might be turned off by the film’s emotional disconnect. 2.5/5
