Direction & Story

The story revolves around the face-off between a strict cop Rajveer Singh & a young gangster Rahuliya, and it explores the hard conditions faced by farmers that push some of them towards the crime world. Antim is the official remake of the 2018 Marathi film "Mulshi Pattern", written & directed by Pravin Tarde. Story by Pravin Tarde is good. It touches upon some issues related to farmers, land mafia, migration of rural population and their exploitation in urban areas, etc. The screenplay by Mahesh V Manjrekar, Siddarth Salvi, & Abhijeet Deshpande is half-backed. The first half was pretty decent but the second half falls flat as it looked very boring, routine, and unexciting. Director Mahesh V Manjrekar's work is fine. He has succeeded in giving a realistic look to the film and the way he handled Salman's part is appreciable. A better fast-paced narrative could have made it a hit.


Lead Performances

Salman Khan is the best thing in the whole film. All his scenes are handled well and he does a neat job in his very significant role as the no-nonsense, law-abiding policeman. This is a far better role when compared to his roles in films like Race-3, Dabangg-3, and Radhe. Aayush Sharma has improved a lot from his debut film, Loveyatri. He gives out an able performance as the young gangster and fits the role perfectly with his decent dialogue delivery and with a built & fit body. Mahima Makwana is cute & makes a confident debut as Manda. She is memorable in the scene where she blasts the hero at the market and expresses well. Sachin Khedekar & Mahesh Manjrekar are fine in their father roles of the hero & heroine respectively. Upendra Limaye is pretty decent in his limited role. Jisshu Sengupta and Nikitin Dheer The rest of the cast are okay. are poor in their insignificant roles.
