Rifle club review: Aashiq Abu’s Rifle Club delivers stunning visuals and action but falters in its storytelling, leaving a hollow core beneath the style.
A Stylish World of Hunters
Set in the Western Ghats, Aashiq Abu’s Rifle Club introduces viewers to a closed community obsessed with hunting and guns. The story follows Shahjahan, a film star trying to shed his romantic image, as he navigates the drama and action within the club.
Rifle club review-What Works: Visuals and Action
The film thrives on its striking visuals and adrenaline-pumping action sequences. Scenes like a sharpshooter riding a motorcycle and the use of VHS-style visuals add a unique charm. The music by Rex Vijayan enhances the film’s engaging moments.
What Falls Short: Screen writing
Despite its stylish presentation, the screenplay by Shyam Pushkaran, Dileesh Karunakaran, and Suhas lacks depth. The core narrative feels hollow, and the style alone struggles to compensate. Yet, the film remains engaging, thanks to its fast pace and well-executed action.
