Alia Bhatt, who started her Bollywood journey as a college student of Karan Johar and later established a distinct identity among the Hindi cinema audience through films like 2 States, Raazi, Gangubai Kathiawadi, has now entered the Hollywood film industry as well. You have made your move. His Hollywood debut film has been released on the OTT platform Netflix. The total duration of the film is 2 hours 5 minutes. So if you are thinking of giving your valuable time to this film, then before that you must know whether you should watch this film or not.
The lead role in Heart of Stone is actress Gal Gadot, who plays a detective named Rachel Stone. After Rachel, the second most important character in the film is Parker, played by Jamie Dornan. This is a negative role. Alia Bhatt has appeared in the film as Keya Dhawan, a 22-year-old girl. Like Jamie, Alia's role is also negative.
What is the story of Heart of Stone?
The story of Heart of Stone somewhat matches with Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden starrer web series Citadel. In that series, there was a mention of a technology named Ozki, through which any nuclear weapons and army of the world can be captured. The agency named Citadel was engaged in protecting that technology from the enemies. Similar is the story of Heart of Stone.
In the film, there is a secret agency named Charter, which has a technology named Heart, through which the whole world can be captured. Anything can be hacked from mobile phones to power grids, banks and military. He can even predict the future. Rachel Stone i.e. Gal Gadot works for this agency. Parker i.e. Jamie Dornan is also a part of this agency, but only to take over the charter from Hart. Keya i.e. Alia Bhatt also supports him in this purpose. Further in the story, Parker and Keya are seen together, while on the other hand, Rachel is trying to save Hart.
How is the movie?
It is said that a film can be a good film only when it has a good story and most importantly, that story has been presented well. But that thing is not visible here. Shortly after the start of the film, it is realized that somewhere its story is matching with Citadel. The weakest thing about this film is that the story is so complicated that it takes a good amount of time to understand what is going on and even if you want to, you are not able to focus completely on the film.
Acting?
Gal Gadot is very grounded in her character. In terms of acting, he has left behind the other stars of the film. Jamie Dornan's work is also worth appreciating. But Alia Bhatt has not been able to show anything special in her Hollywood debut film. About 10 minutes after the start of the film, when Alia's entry takes place and the way her small glimpse is shown, it seems that she will be seen doing a lot of bang in the film. But in front of Aaliya, only disappointment seems to be in hand.
Looking at her in this film, it does not appear anywhere that she is the same Alia, who has presented a character like Gangubai Kathiawadi in Bollywood with seriousness on screen. Since her character in the film is negative, but innocence is reflected on her face throughout the film, she looks detached and lost from her character, seeing which an audience's mind is not able to accept her completely in a negative role.
What is special in the film?
There are some such things in the film that you will definitely like. There is a lot of action in it. From bike ride to aeroplane, action scenes have been seen. The background music of the film is also amazing, which adds charm to the action scenes. Many beautiful scenes from mountains to snowy valleys have been shown in the film.
Why watch and why not watch?
If you are planning to watch an action film and you do not care much about the story, then you can watch this film. But if your priority is the story and you are thinking of watching something different than before, then this film is not for you.
