Well many people compared this film with Baaghi 3 but there’s a huge difference between the two that is unlike Baaghi 3 Khuda Hafiz actually has a storyline ! Can’t deny the fact that there are similarities but can’t overlook this huge difference as well!
It’s surely an entertaining watch but there’s no surprise element in it as its a stereotypical Bollywood cliche action film where the hero rescues the damsel in distress . However, considering Vidyut Jamwal’s filmography so far ,the action is indeed toned down quite a bit. Even with him tackling a couple of dozen men all at once, the action does not seem totally unbelievable. There is an impromptu, non-choreographed quality to the fight scenes that brings some semblance of reality.
Music is not so impressive except for the track Jaan ban gaye which is really beautiful and soulful. Ahana Kumra and Shiv Panditt’s fake Arabic accent is a huge let down. Their accents grow thick and thin with every alternate scene, and each time is more embarrassing than before. While Annu Kapoor did seem more a natural fit in the land of Noman . The character of Nargis has very little to offer even if the plot revolves around her there is not even a scene, or a minute devoted to actually humanise her.
Khuda Haafiz, therefore, is not without flaws, but it works as an action thriller. Vidyut conveys the nervousness and fear of a man who has lost someone he loves.
A by-the-book thriller, Khuda Haafiz is just entertaining enough. Dive even an inch deeper and the flaws are there for anyone to see.
