Review of Hind Ka Napak Ko Jawab

It was more fun than all the other sequels of the very messy MSG time-line (Lion Heart and its sequel are unrelated to the previous MSG films), but still far short of the zeitgeist of the original MSG. The fact that Pitaji is now playing a character other than his interpretation of himself makes this series less resonant. The other issue is of pacing. Pitaji is needlessly stretching out the Lion Heart plot(?). Thankfully no flashbacks this time, but several mundane sub-plots and once again the climax is a cheat - we get a "to be continue...(sic)" notice. Also, it looks like the budgets are more like those for the Dev Anand films, which means watered down action spectacle (most of it is remote, with bad CG explosions). But the villains are a tad more memorable than than have been in the last 2 films, and moments like Pitaji operating a helicopter and missile drones with a Playstation controller, the idea of (howlariously inept CG) St Bernards as vicious attack dogs (they seem to be licking their victims to death)...are gold.
