Many people questioned whether "Operation Valentine" was just a scaled-down version of "Fighter" after seeing the teaser. Those worries materialised on Friday with the movie's premiere. Nearly identical to the Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone movie that was released in January is the Shakti Pratap Singh Hada film. Even the main protagonists, a commanding man and his well-behaved lady love, seem to be modelled after 'Fighter'. Not only that, but aspects like a horrifying history, the desire for atonement, and strong friendships have also been replicated.
'Operation Valentine's' box office success is probably going to suffer due to its release just one month after the Siddharth Anand film, notwithstanding the possibility that this is no coincidence. But the movie itself is its greatest foe, with poor timing coming in second.
Because of its poor storyline and mediocre acting, "Operation Valentine," which is based on the Pulwama terror incident and India's retaliatory Balakot airstrike, fails to arouse any feelings of patriotism or humanity. The 2019 terror attack has been shown in great detail in a short amount of time in films like "Fighter" and most recently "Article 370," so the Varun Tej movie seems excessive.
The intensity was evident even when reading accounts of the series of events that took place five years prior. Not only was it one of the hardest missions, but it was also very dramatic. But 'Operation Valentine' is just plain dull. In an attempt to position Tej as the hero and justify his acts, the first half is wasted. Interest has faded by the time the Pulwama sequence appears. The viewers are left feeling uninterested by the flimsy preparations, covert meetings, and even the attacks. The majority of action situations have sporadic visual effects, which lessens the impact. Theatregoers were engrossed in their phones despite the presence of fighter planes in the sky, a sign of the film's poor reception. In addition, there aren't many touching tales or catchy tunes to keep viewers interested for the entire two hours.
Varun Tej gives a solid performance that fits the description of an Air Force officer. Manushi Chhillar looks polished in the blue outfit as well. Although both have given heartfelt performances, their efforts are tragically lost in translation because of the mediocre storyline. Even though Varun and Manushi are attractive actors on their own, as a duo they fall flat. They have little chemistry and seem quite off with each other, despite the fact that they play a married couple in the movie.
The other characters performed a clumsy act as well. With the possible exception of Ruhani Sharma, who shows promise as a strong-willed female officer and has a spark on screen, most of them have been forgotten by the time the credits roll. Paresh Pahuja, who is a talented actor in general, was assigned a character that was rather difficult to portray. You may observe the worst possible copy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the movie.
