In 2016, when the movie terrain has changed so drastically, Ghayal Once Again is a thing from the days of yore! Sunny Deol in his superman avatar (minus the underwear on his pants) is just as fantastic but the film is unbearably outdated. Here's the recipe - Scoop out the story from the past film, add hi-tech terms and gadgets, blend it into a paste and garnish with the iconic punches of Sunny paaji. It is a vanity project for Deol and he is earnest, but the film is a desperate attempt at reviving his stardom. 26 years later, Sunny should have spared us the horror of sitting through this vain film that dims the shine of Ghayal's grandeur.
Sunny Deol, his dhai kilo ka haath and Soha Ali Khan are in a relatively better space in life. The man is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is being treated by a neurologist. His bad thoughts pop up in cartoon bubbles which disappear when he consumes a magic pill. From the first frame, you begin groaning and mentally resisting the film. Novelty isn't much of concern in cases of films with such recall value but with this movie, our fondest memories are tainted. The star, however, has a fan following which can pull audiences but a logical, thinking mind can't bear to sit through it.
